LOSSES OF SHEEP FROM
THE POISONOUS PLANTS
Work For Vacant Lot Committtis.
All wild plant growth Is uow goiug
to seed, and if weeds on vacant lots
were at present liarvcatcU and burned
Tic crop next year would not be so
nhuudaut cither uon vataut lots or
ailjolnlng premises. Improvement soci
eties everywhere should apinilnt "va
cant lot committees" to visit or write
all vacant lot owuers wltb a view to
getting them cleaned up. A small tsx
on each tneiulivr would provide funds
to cut and burn the crop on property of
uouivsldcuts. Where no Improvement
society Is at work somebody having
municipal pride should take up the
task. Iu other places au association
could be formed to tackle Uila most
serious menace to civic beauty.
A number of sheep were recently
poisoned by e'ltiog choke i lurry
leaves. while passing over a drivrway
across part of the Mauti National
Fore t iu Ctnh, and, thongh t-hnp
driveways are not Rtrictly part of the'
National Forest range, the gnve'ru
meut has tute i steps to prevent
furthef l')K8e to the shppuun from
this cause. Members of tho force nn
the forests will co-operats with stock
men iu cuttiug out the thickets f
choke cherry bushes where they krow
moat dense, thus allowing the s'leep
to be hurried . through fit m, and in
souw cases the rlrivewny will he
changed so as to avoid the thickets
altogether. When the sheep euler
ibis driveway they are hungry afiertt
lo.ig trip ovtr public highways,
which form .almost one continuous
Hue b 'tween, cultivated fields. They
eat the ohoke cherry leaves raven
ously, though under ordinary condi
tions they would hardly touch them.
The leaves cjntiiu irusnic ani'l,
and when an elimination was made
of the stomachs of several of the d' a t
sheep, aud they were found filled
with the leves, the causa of death
was clearly established.
Stocknien throughout the Wet are
coming more Hilly to recognize
t'i benefits i.f go ruuiont co-op'ra-iou
and riune c tr.d. T'e wlmK
grazing policy is to make Hie tauge
better aud to ins ire its equitable uie
Restriction is practiced not for its
own rake, but for the good of the
range and of th- Hook men who de
pend upon it.
The r.tnge has deteriorated nuder
unrestricted use, aud so the govern
ment is making Investigations under
the direction of F. V. Coville, botaniBt,
Bureau of Plant Industry, Depart
ment of Agriculture, with a view to
reseeding with better grass. Again,
poisonous plauts are often destructive
to livestock, and in this case Dr. C
U. Marsh, of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, is conducting a study tc
detect poisonous plants and suggest
means ot eradicating them. There
are also "hevy losses from preda'ory
animals, but government hunters and
trappers are busy reducing the number
of mountain lious and timber wolves,
which do most of the damage.
A GOOD HEDGE.
How Honeysuckle Can Be Planted to
Offset an Ugly View.
It may he that you are planning a
new hedge this year to shut out an
Ugly view or Intruding nniinals or to
form a boundary line, says the De
lineator. For this purpose the com
mon honeysuckle. Loulcera grata. Is
worthy of consideration. A simple but
strong wire fence will support It per
fectly, nud the roots may lie wt In at
almost any time of the year. The vine
grows rapidly,. showing a disposition to
take care of itself even to the extent
of choking out poison Ivy or other
climbers that endeavor to Invade Its
stronghold. Its habit is to grow to the
top of the fence and then to droop
down gracefully on either side. A
close wall. of preen Is soon formed, so
close. Indeed, that dots give up the at
tempt to push themselves through Its
mass of Intertwined twigs. The flow
ers return for a second blooming, cast
ing always to considerable distances
their soft, delicate sceut.
A hedge of honeysuckle vines, more
over. Is less costly than one of box or
privet, nnd It does not require the
clipping and care of the latter. Often
such a hedge fornta a desirable wind
break especially for the roses of a
garden. Trained over a simple frnme
work. It makes a delightful canopy for
a garden bench.

Value and Prottction of 8tret Treos.
Municipalities haw of late much
awakened to the value of street trees
and the advisability of protecting
them, more especially since several
eastern courts have placed a value of
several hundred dollars on fine old
specimens damaged by public sen-lee
companies through their wire stringing
vandals. These latter look upon nil
street trees as so many obstructions
and place no value upon them. This
Is evident through the ruthless and un
necessary butchering Indulged In by all
linemen. That neither the public nor
the abutting property owner has an)
rights or privileges In the matter seems
to be taken for granted.
'THE SCHOOL OF QUALITY"-
s
Clean Up.
The most unsightly feature of a town
at present and one that may easily be
removed Is the vacant lot crop of
weeds. Just now the weeds are going
to seed and should at once be removed
and burned. Not only will this Im
prove the looks of the streets and
town In general, but the destruction of
fhls year's seed crop will materially re
duce next year's weed crop upon these
areas and adjoining premises. "One
year's seeding makes seven years'
weeding" Is all the truth and none of
Action. Tou're neif Get busy.
