Deserves Prepared More by th United States Department of Agriculture.) Tuberculosis of poultry though not so dangerous in many respects as the bovine form, needs greater attention by flock owners and by the public If the spread Is to be checked, says Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the bureau of animal industry. United States Department of Agriculture. "Avian tuberculosis," he says. Is easily transmitted to swine, and a large per cent of retentions of hugs in packing houses on account of tuberculosis Is the result of the avian type of the disease. "Tills poultry malady Is most prevalent in the Middle West. "There Is more hog tuberculosis to day because of fowl tuberculosis than formerly, but the avian germ Is much less virulent than the bovine germ and Is frequently confined to the glands of the neck In hogs. "The veterinarians who are going from farm to fnrm In the work of tuberculin testing of cattle are making observations of poultry flocks. When tuberculosis Is found they explain the disease can be controlled and eradicated." The bureau of animal industry is In any way posready to sible in this campaign, says Doctor Mohler, who emphasizes the importance of continued publicity. Oak Trees Are Favored for Roadside Planting Oak trees, of which there are species native to nearly all parts of the country, are more generally used for rondside planting than any other kind of tree, says the bureau of public roods of the United States Department of Agriculture.

For the cooler dry regions the most promising trees are the green ash, common locust, hackberry, thnrnless and poplars, with willows, and poplars for the extremes of cold and drought. In warm, dry climates the eucalyptus, or gums, the palms, the Jerusalem thorn, and the mesqiiite are good. Only thrifty, vigorous trees, with healthy foliage, look well on country roads. To secure this type for any location It Is usually best to select native varieties, although trees from localities with fdmllpr growing conditions are frequently satisfactory. d d honey-locust- , box-elde- Kale being a heavy feeder requires rich soli with plenty of manure and fertilizer to make a good crop. A moist loamy soil Is best. The land should be plowed several days before sowing to let It settle, then Just before sowing give It a good harrowing to kill all weeds and grass. Of fertilizer, if broadcast, about 1,500 pounds will be used or in the drills about 800 pounds. A good fertilizer to use is one containing 5 per cent nitrogen, 6 to 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 5 per cent potash. A top dressing of 150 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda will greatly help the plants. The Scotch and Serbinn are the most popular varieties of kale. The Scotch Is a bright green kale and very populnr for shipping, owing to its fine appearance, and being hard and stiff carries perfectly when packed. The plants are very spreading and dwarf, rarely growing over 18 Inches high. The plants will remain over winter where the temperature 'does not go below sero. The Siberian leaves are very large and plain In the center, hut It Is heavily curled on the edge. hardy and grows rapidly and Is very slow running to seed In the spring. The Siberian is more tender for home use or local market, while the Scotch Is better to ship. M p'wJMvl-fANhl'- ' rH iVe tem 1 !.
