In many parts of the east the Nor way or sycamore maple is a favorit for street planting, though it is some what Intolerant of dust and smoke and is therefore better suited to rural districts and villages than congested city centers. As It is a spreading tree, care should be taken to prevent Its bending too low. It thrives In southern California as well as any ol the maples, but seems to thrive still better farther north. Nature seemi to dictate an evergreen country, and It Is somewhat puzzling to know why we have sycamores, cottonwoods, etc., almost identical with species found in eastern states. In central and northern California, where oaks ar deciduous, the maples thrive and no objection should be made to use on street and highway.

DISEASE FOUND AMONG HOGS Tuberculosis Affects Animals as Well as Man Loss Amounts to Millions Annually. Farmers' Bulletin 473, Issued by Secretary Wilson, contains an impor tant and most comprehensive state ment of facts on bovine tuberculosis. The bulletin deals with the history, nature, symptoms of the disease; how it spreads, how a herd is infected, the tuberculin test, and its prevention and suppression. "Tuberculosis," the bulletin states, "is a widespread disease affecting ani mals and also man..: Human beings and cattle are its chief victims, but there is no kind of animal that will not take it. Hogs and chickens are quite affected ; horses, sheep and goats being affected but seldom, however. The disease is contagious. It spreads from cow to cow in a herd until most of them are affected. It is slow In developing and may not be- come noticeable for months or even years. The tuberculin test, which cannot do barm to the healthy cow, reveals the germ In a few hours, and always proves successful when in the hands of an experienced veterinar ian." The disease is common among hogs," the bulletin goes on. "The public abattoirs report that a serious percentage of hogs inspected is found to be tuberculous. The losses among cattle and hogs are enormous, amount ing to millions of dollars annually." Turning to the Infection of human beings with the tuberculosis germ through cattle, the bulletin says: "Milk Is the staple food of infants and young children and is usually ta ken In the raw state. If this milk is taken from a tuberculous cow it may contain millions of living tubercle germs. Young children fed on such milk often contract the disease, and it ia a frequent cause of death among them. "Meat from tuberculous cattle is not so likely to convey the infection for several reasons. It does not so fre quently contain the germs, cooking destroys those that may be present, and, lastly, meat Is not consumed by very young children." As to the spread of the disease, the bulletin feays: "Sooner or later the tuberculous cow begins to give oft the germs of the disease. The germs es cape by the mouth and nose, the bow els, in the milk, and in discharges from the genital organs. When the germs are being given off In any of these ways, the disease is known as open tuberculosis." The bulletin concludes with: "Dark, dirty, crowded stables are favorable to tuberculosis. Under these condi tions the disease spreads rapidly and is only kept out with difficulty. "Clean, airy, well-lighted stables, on the other hand, are unfavorable to the development of the disease. If brought into such a stable it does not spread so rapidly and is not difficult to get rid of as in the first case. A well-built, sanitary stable need not be made of expensive material or of elaborate design, but should have plenty of light, air, and drainage "Light is very important. Direct sunlight is a great destroyer of germ life. Tubercle bacilli soon die if ex posed to sunlight. It is a disinfectant always ready to work without coBt1 Nation Loses Millions by Bad Road w ASHINQTON. In the United 2,500,000 miles of roads of one kind or another enough to reach around the earth 100 times. Much of this, however, is of a character not wor thy of the name road. Some of It is little better than a rock pile, and oth ers are wide tracks through ditches and swamps. Of the whole only seven miles in each hundred can be said to have any improvements whatever, and on the most of it the improvements are such as to be unworthy of note. Altogether not two per cent, can be called first class. With the proper im provement of this network of roads will come a saving that will richly repay the nation. The roads in the United States may not be the very worst In the world, but they are bad enough as a whole, that is certain, compared with those in other civilized countries. Europe Is a network of magnificent highways. In Germany, France and England one can ride for miles without striking a stone or a puddle. This does not add to pleasure alone. It is the means of saving millions of dollars each year to those countries where such roads ire maintained. The cost of hauling over our coun- HARVESTING IN EVERY MONTH Up to the Wishbone.

In the European countries as long as 18 years ago the cost had been reduced to 10 cents, and it Is much lower today. On some of the roads going into London, by the motor cars now in use, it is less than four cents, and by wagon freight can be hauled almost anywhere on the con tinent for from one-half to one-third its cost in the United States. The saving effected under this system amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars every year. According to the report of the inter state commerce commission In 1906, our railroads handled more than 800, 000,000 tons of freight which originat ed on their respective lines. All this bad to be taken to and from the cars. A great deal of it was made up of the products of the farm and the forests, and it is estimated thai at least 200, 000,000 tons of it had a haul of nine miles at a cost of 23 cents a ton. That bill alone would represent more than $400,000,000, and other freights and hauling would run the sum to $500, 000,000 or over. Now suppose we cut the wagon freight bill in half, or to 11 6 cents a ton, which is still far above the cost of hauling in Europe, and the saving would be $250,000,000 a year. In fact, the loss on our haul ing is one of the greatest leakB of our whole Industrial system. To save this waste of effort and money should be among the chief concerns of our people.

The recent raid here by Internal revenue agents, when $8,000 worth of the drug, pre pared for smoking, was confiscated and the distributing organization for the District of Columbia broken up, was one of a series of big hauls in the larger cities of the country in recent months, as a result of which several hundred thousand dollars' worth of the drug is now in government possession. In the last five months just such hauls, many larger and more impor tant, have been made by means of which agents have In many cases been able to trace the drug to the illicit manufacturers, thus dealing the most serious blow of all. In Terre Haute, Ind., where the richest haul of all was made, nearly $100,000 worth of the drug was found when the inspectors raided a small river shack where the crude opium was being prepared for distribution to smokers throughout the middle west. "We are learning how to go about it. We are discovering the haunts of them," said a special officer. "It has Deen a nam job, because there is no interstate regulation.

AK'fmM WITWON Bar Unbidden Guests From Naval Ball RECENT agitation over the new re strictions placed upon midshipmen at the naval academy in the matter of guests at academy dances has brought forth from officials of the navy de partment a remarkable statement It was disclosed that heretofore the doors of the naval academy have been opened wide on the evenings of dances, and all presenting themselves at the doors dressed as for a dance have been admitted without question. Several embarrassing situations have developed from time to time involving midshipmen in serious trouble. Henceforth, it Is stated, the academy officials will require that no person be admitted without presenting a card of invitation, and the names of all persons to whom such cards are issued are to be listed. "The invitations to balls and hops at the naval academy," says the state ment, "have been either a source of misunderstanding or a cause for at tempting to stir up class prejudice. Few fathers and mothers with sons at the naval academy but would de sire and expect the authorities having their sons in charge to endeavor to keep them apart from that special form of temptation that haunts all places where large bodies of young men are collected together. "When the academy was much smaller and the number of guesta consequently fewer, there was little difficulty In keeping a careful scrutiny at the doors of the ballroom; but the number of guests attending has made thts practically impossible. "Is it too much to ask that only those Invited should attend, and that cards of admission should be issued to authenticate the guests?
