Nineteen twenty is a date
portant as any of those men
toned above, as it marks the
time when the splendid state
highway was paved its entire
length through the city. TO
the States pavement much
more was added, so that a por-
ton of Main Street is paved
full width, and the balance
is widened considerably. The
streets about the City have
undergone more improvement
this year than ever before, by
reason Of so much grading and
excavation on Main street. The
council purchased 500 worth
of metal culverts last spring
TO make our waterways across
the streets Us permanent as
possible.
During the past year the
city council has had before it,
for consideration, much in the
way of public improvement.
Steps have already been taken
to flume the irrigation water
over the large deposits Of loose
gravel at both Battle Creek
and Grove Creek canyons. The
gravel absorbs much water,
and the loss to the irrigation
system is enormous, especially
when the streams are small.
OF equal Importance with the
irrigation system is the supply
Of culinary water. Much dis
cussion has been given to the
removing of three quarters Of
a mile of wooden pipe on Lo-
Gust Ave-, and the substitution
of iron pipe in its place. Also
the addition of the Hog's-back
spring in Grove Creek canyon
to the cullinery supply of the
city has received attention.
At the present time the mat
Ter of the new Carnegie library
is an absorbing topic. Plea
SAINT Grove has assurances that
1t will not be long before an
appropriation will be made for
this purpose. A site has been
decided upon and the recent
book shower resulted in tho
"ddition of 1900 books and
l2,OOO magazines.
Among improvements which
ought to be made soon, in Plea
SAINT Grove is the matter Of an
iron fence for the cemetery,
and also the erection of the sol
dlers' memorial at that place.
A suggestion is here offer
Ell for the consideration of the
public in which our city could
greatly benefit. In the north
west and south-ccntral por-
IONS are large tracts of land
a half mile or more on each
side, as yet not divided into
city blocis. If the section one

are several Blind streets which
should be opened.

which are generally the sweetest. and
therefore the best producers. Makers
have lost half and even more of their
crops by not being prepared for the
first run. In general, it may be said
that the season is ready to open during
the first or middle of February in the
southern section, and later in the
northern regions when days are be-
coming warm (when the temperature
goes above freezing during the day and
at night below freezing). If the days
are very bright, warm and sunny, the

siacken, or If wind starts the flow is
checked. Protracted warm weather
or heavy freeze with nights and days
Of even temperature stops the flow al
together, TO start again when weather
conditions are right.
Methods of Tapping.
Considerable difference of opinion
exists as to the best method Of tap
ping a tree. A thirteen thirty-sec-
enths of an inch 1882 bit is often
used It's direction should be slightly
upward into the tree, the slant allow
ing the hole to drain readily. With
an ordinary tree the hole should not
be over one and one-half to two inches
deep at best.
The equipment required for strip
and sugar-making does not necessarily
represent a large outlay. A number
of sap spOuts, either wooden or metal,
are needed. The strip is usually gath
cred in buckets, and if the grove COW
ers a considerable area a wagon or
sled is used to carry barrels into
which the buckets are emptied. For
a small grove a big iron kettle. such
as most farmers possess, is ample for
boiling the sap over an outdoor fire.
For large production a more elabo-
rate equipment, such as a pair of pans
set over brick framework of various
patent evaporatorS, may be employed.
When strip is made as a side Issue or
in small quantities, it is customary to
make the extra concentration, essen
tial to producing sugar, in pots over
the kitchen stove, but where made on
a large scale homemade or factory
made apparatus can be employed.
Commercial Possibilities.
While the possibilities Of immediate
returns from maple trees now standing
are Of chief interest at this time, the
United States department of agricuI-
ture experts call attention to the large
commercial possibilities in maple strip
production which could be developed
in a comparatively few years by ex-
tensive planting. There are large num-
bers of tracts now unfruitful and con-
sidered almost worthless, but well
suited to growing maple trees. These
tracts are to be found throughout the
regions referred to above. and could
be planted to sugar maple at small
cost.

STEERS FATTENED ON sILAGE
Interesting Feeding Test With Sheiled
Corn Conducted at Missouri
Station.

At the Missouri experiment station
one lot of steers was fed 10 pounds Of

ceived no shelled corn but a little
more Of the oil cake and clover and 40
pounds of silage per head per day.
The results were that the lot that re-
ceived sheIIed corn and half feed of
silage charged $15.95 for 100 pounds
gain. while the other lot charged only
$1,000. The cost of feed per steer on
sheIled corn was S50.23, while with the
other lot it was SPLIT.

CHEAP SEED MAY BE COSTLY
Special Stress Placed on Necessity for
Testing Because of Low Germina-
ton of Glover.

With all kinds of seed as high as
they are. the use of inferior seed is
d most expensive form Of carelessness.
Careful testing of practically all kinds
OF seed has long been urged by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and special stress is being placed
on it, now that prices are so unusual
ly high In the matter of clover seed,
for instance, attention is called to the
fact that comparatively cheap seed
may be actually higher than that which
costs more money, because of low ger
minatiOn. The department, at various
times, has issued advice in bulletins
and other forms OF the best methods
of testing seeds. This information
may be had free on application.

RAILROADS AND GOOD ROADS
