TAKING CARE OF ROADSIDES Unsightly Brush Should B Rmevd nd All Ornamental and Shad Tr Protected. No matter how imooth and well conatructed the traveled road may be, If the roadsides are not cared for. the highway as a whole will not give a nod Impression. All rubbish hould ha removed! the eiravatlon should be filled and embankment smoothed and planted with gras wherever it will grow. Cnslghtly brush should be cut and grubbed out. Sometimes, however, the brush and mall trees, If suitably trimmed, add to the at tractiveness of the roadside. All tree that are ornamental o which have value as shade trees should be preserved and protected, unless they grow ao close together as to make a dense shade. In hot. dry climates particularly, and, Indeed, It! most place, trees are a considerable factor In reducing the cost of main tenance, since they lessen the evapo ration of the moisture from the mac adam. In exposed places where the sweep of the wind would be otherwise unbroken they serve to prevent in a measure the blowing away of th binder from the road surface. Unfor inrstsli In anrh nlncps it la Oftet difficult to make trees grow. Care In the selection of the kinds of treei best suited to the locality Is Important. The eradication of th rattle tick from th southern state I a problem of prime Importance to th agileul- tu ml lull root of that section, wore ever, the good (but would remilt from the elimination of th tick would not l entirely confined to the region di rectly concerned, and hu the matter SH.ume. to certain d. rc a national Importance. The south need more and better llv tock and a latgor d.ilry Industry, and then objects would be greatly promoted by th destruction of the lick. Th Increased productlun of llv took by reason of It Important bear ing In maintaining and Improving the fertility of the soil, would he of dis tinct benefit In Increasing the yield of field crops.

It can thu no seen mai iha benefit which would accrue to southern agrlcultuie from the exterm ination of tht cattlo tick would b very great and far-reaching. There are several species 01 rnun- tlck but th chief cue Is commonly called the "cattle" or "Texii fever tick. It U tho one most freuuentiy found on cattle and U much more abundant than the other specie. When tbo losses occasioned by tins nr,lt ro once thoroughly under stood by fitrniurs and stockmen there will be little need for arguments in lavor of tick eradication. Some of th losses are not directly noticeable nnd rnn.eouently n-ak little Impression. while other losses properly charge able to tho tick are frequently auriD uted to other causes. Various writers have estimated the annual loss due to the tick at from 140,000.00 to 1 1 00,000.000. These fig ure's should be ample argument, even to the most comprehensive, for the eradication of the pest. In getting rid of tho lick.

City people would rather deal direct with the farmer when they are sure they will get pure, fresh and whole some stuff. Bays a writer in. an ex-rhnne-e.

She has averaged 38 cents per dozen for her eggs, the consumer paying express ihnrees. while the average price at our home town has been about 23 cents. Pays, doesn t it? This woman never buys eggs except from two neighbors whoBe reliability nha Vnnws. but she taKes ail iney sen and makes a profit of about 15 cents a dozen on them, or courBe, she aoes not tell anybody what she gets from the city consumers. She packs the eggs in paper boxes with partitions forming a little compartment for each egg. She usually ships from four to six dozen in a box. Pall Spraying Pump. ofarviiHon. The latter consists In per mitting the cattle and other animals to continue on the Infested paBture and treating them at regular inter vals with oils or other agents deHtruc Hvb tn ticks and thus preventing en females from dropping and re Infextlng the pasture. The larvae on h nsHture. or those which hatch from egg3 laid by females already thpre will all eventually meet death. Snrh nf these as get upon the cattle from time to time will be destroyed by tho treatment, while those wnicn ran to find a hoBt will die In the pasture from starvation. Animals may be freed of ticks In two ways. They may be treated with an agent that will destroy ail tno ticKs nreHent. or they may be rotated at proper Intervals on tick-free fields un til all the ticks have dropped. Spraying is probably tho most con- Green Feed for Chicks. Have tender green feed for the early chicks. Young collards and ten der lettuce will bo eaten readily by them. The chicks may help them selves from the growing plants or the latter mav be cut un with a sharp knife. Both these plants stand low temperatures, and will give green feed early if planted soon enough. Care for Setting Hen, Setting hens should come off the nest once a day, preferably at the same time each day. Feed them on whole corn and supply clean fresh wa ter and grit. A good "dust bath" of moist, fine, sandy loam will be appre ciated. It is a lot better than reaj dust that is "bone dry." Getting Best Stock. Some breeders claim to get their best stock from April or May hatched pullets which have been kept back from egg production until nearly time for setting eggs for incubation. Lack of Exercise In Sows. When sows kill and eat their pigs the common cause Is pampering and c.ru-iillv the lack of exercise.

Many of the so-called tree doctors, as well a the peoplo who employ them, have become so elated over un Idea of tree surgery that they find ome cause for treating almost every anil anv tree, reirardlesa of Its neces- alilea or the resulLa of such treatment. or whether It ts worth whll to spend either time or money upon mem. A word of caution Is thereforo not out of place. If you feel that jour trees need attention, look Into th mailer nf tree doctoring, so that you may know Bomothlng about It, and then call ution a responslblo nuiU wltn a good reputation to do your work. Vhnn the tre hBS been neglected and rnvltles have formed In the trunk of the treo, something should be dons to stop the Increase of the opening, for, after It has become so lurgo as to en rirele the ereatcr oortlon of the tree, or where the entire center has been destroyed. It is not worth the time and money it takes to properly treat these In ratios where the tree can still bo treated the cavity should be scraped and cloaned of all dead wood, then trlve the cavity a thorough wash ing or spraying with a solution of cop per sulphate. This solution, applied to all part of the cavity, will kill all the remaining rot spores. Now the cavity Is ready to be nlied witn a co rn, .nf mlntiirn nslnir one nart of ce ment to three parts of clean, sharp sand. This Is packed into tna cavuy, filling It to one inch of the finished surface, and thon apply a covering of ono nart cement to ono part sand. This is put on so as to bring tho filling to a smooth surface, making u conform to the contour of the tree trunk. A coat of coal tar may be ap plied to discolor the cement and aid In making the filling water-tight.
