The Norway Maple.
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

Nation Loses Millions by Bad Road

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

try roads is now about 23 cents per
ton to the mile. 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. It Is gratifying to note that
they are awaking to the need of con

SLOWLY the federal arm is sweeping
in the opium fiends. 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.

about the premises, for which. Aunl
Nervy scrupulously paid him.

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? Is there
any decent ball or assembly of any
size which is not protected by some
similar precaution?"
