FARM  AND  GARDEN.— Prof.  «T.  J. 
Taubohaus,  for  several  years  plant  path¬ 
ologist  at  the  Delaware  Agricultural  Ex¬ 
periment  Station,  has  boon  appointed 
plant  pathologist  and  physiologist  at  the 
Texas  Experiment  Station  and  will  make 
his  headquarters  at  College  Station. 
The  New  York  Conservation  Commis¬ 
sion  has  offered  to  distribute  to  landown¬ 
ers  in  the  State  10.000.000  forest  tree 
seedlings  at  cost.  The  number  is  suffi¬ 
cient  to  reforest  10,000  acres  of  land. 
The  commission  is  anxious  to  encourage 
the  reforestation  of  'the  State  in  several 
sections  where  it  is  believed  the  work 
will  increase  the  value  of  farms.  Tin- 
prices  announced  arp:  $1,150  a  thousand 
for  two-year-old  seedlings  and  $4.50  a 
thousand  for  four-year-old  transplants. 
One  thousand  trees  will  reforest  an  acre 
of  laud  at  a  cost,  including  labor  of  $10. 
Reports  from  Rrantwuod.  \Yis„  state 
that  wolves  are  becoming  numerous  in 
Price  county,  where  they  are  destroying 
deer,  and  in  sonic  cases  attacking  farm 
animals. 
The  New  York  City  Club  has  asked 
the  l  egislature  to  make  an  increase  of 
$117,500  in  the  appropriation  for  public 
employment  exchanges.  Under  the  pres¬ 
ent.  system  of  employment  exchanges 
there  are  offices  in  Brooklyn.  Albany, 
Syracuse.  Rochester  and  Buffalo.  It.  is 
the  desire  to  extend  these  facilities  for 
supplying  labor  where  it  is  needed,  espe¬ 
cially  to  the  rural  districts.  The  idea 
behind  the  request  to  the  appropriating 
committees  of  the  Senate  and  Assembly 
is  that  the  system  can  be  extended  eco¬ 
nomically  by  having  the  cities  contribute 
the  offices  and  equipment  and  the  State 
the  superintendent  and  employees. 
Plans  are  being  formulated  at  Iowa 
City,  Iowa,  for  the  organization  of  a 
Statewide  good  roads  congress.  The  plan 
is  in  the  hands  of  a  committee  of  five  ap¬ 
pointed  by  a  Statewide  conference  of 
road  enthusiasts  at  Des  Moines  recently. 
Dean  Henry  Bussell  of  the  Wisconsin 
Agricultural  College  has  evolved  a  plan 
for  a  model  farmhouse,  not  to  he  ideal 
but  perfectly  practical  in  its  fitting,  con¬ 
taining  many  ideas  which  can  be  easily 
copied  by  farmers.  The  project  will  in¬ 
volve  the  expenditure  of  about  $1,200. 
although  a  large  part  of  the  work  and 
material  will  he  donated.  The  university 
will  supply  the  land  and  architects  of

Perhaps  the  most  successful  Farmers’ 
Association  in  the  State  of  New  York 
is  the  Eon*  Island  Cauliflower  Associa¬ 
tion.  It  is  composed  of  a  number  of 
growers  on  the  island  who  grow  and 
sell  cauliflower.  The  association  plans  to 
take  care  of  the  crop,  to  ship  and  sell 
and  handle  it.  to  the  best  advantage, 
l  ast  year  this  association  handled  350, 
000  packages  for  its  members.  It  paid 
tin  increased  freight  rate  out  of  its  earn¬ 
ings,  and  was  able  to  declare  a  10  per 
emit,  dividend  to  the  stockholders.  In 
addition  it  shows  assets  of  $25, 9. SI .75. 
The  association  is  not  trying  to  make 
much  money.  It  is  a  mutual  concern, 
which  aims  simply  to  benefit  the  farmers, 
get  more  for  his  products,  and  make 
enough  money  to  pay  its  bills.  It  has  a 
short  working  season,  which  began  last 
year  on  August  23  and  continued  until 
December  17  At  the  last,  meeting  the 
following  directors  of  the  Cauliflower  As¬
