TREES FROM NURSERIES. How In Handle Tlicm i tin tn Injure 1 heir III I UK Inn I I it I In .NOW l.lKlltlllllM. It is so mo I hi tig of a science tot ran plant trees thai, have been received from a distant nursery and have them live. Jt used to bo thought that there must always bo a large percentage of loss anyway even under the best eon ditions. Hoth the nursery men and tin planters have now learned that trees uf nil kinds can bo handled in a way to insure their living when placed iu their now locations. A well-packed tree has its roots kept moist by being rolled in damp moss and tied up in bagging. The old scheme of pulling trees out of tho ground, exposing 1 heir roots and sending them away without any protection was the cause of many u tree proving n failure. When these trees arrived at the distant station they were thrown out on the platform and left there exposed to the heat ol the sun and the drying effects of the wind. In the course of time the pur chaser drove around and got his con signment, perhaps a couple of days aflcr thoiV arrival. !y that time their roots were good and dry. He drove home and sot out his trees in any old way. Kvcn had he set them in the best possible way it is altogether likely that a good many trees would have perished oiling to the drying out of the roots. When a large part of his trees failed to grow of course the nurseryman was to blame -so the buyer said, lie was right to some ex tent, in that the trees were si nt away wilh roots not properly protected. In sending t r s huiir or short distaneis the roots and their moisture supply furnish the key to the situation. Prop er treat ment othc tree from the time It comes out of i he nursery row to the time it goes into the pl iee assigned to it in the orchard will insure a good healthy ti In setting a hundred of these there need bo no failures.

The women of ( Mi. tun, X. Y., havo placed fioxos in tho ht roots to receive waste papers ami similar rubbish. Tho liural Art society, of tlio same town, is planting linden trees, laying out small parks and looking out for sim ilar enterprises, which, while not of little value, are not of much cost. In one of the Ohio towns 1 not ice that two rival clubs are in the liold. This is perhaps a pom I idea, for cumpiti t'on in d.rmr poml works ns well as in Itiivict-s i.Jfairs.

There really is no way any longer of keep ing civic art mid rural art avpnrutcd. We believe the day is not far off when every farmer will consider the cultivation of the beautiful just ns much a part of his business as the useful. Then our farms will be con nected together with long lines of highways mostly trolley ways all of which constitute extended public parks. K. I', l'owell, in N. V. Trib une. BROAD-TIRED" wheels.

It is not quite as durable as is crushed stone, but is far superior to dirt. Its oust is slight, as it can be produced without the use of skilled labor. The burning of the gumbo removes the quality that when the clay is wet causes stick iness. This burnt clay is used for cap ping tho road. The road-bed must be well drained and well built before the top of burnt clay is put on. It U claimed that if people will adopt the burnt-clay idea, roads as good as those in France can bo constructed in this country with no additional expendi ture over that now hoinir reuuired bv ) the roads. How In Put I u Alfnlfn. This is the way a South Ihikotn farmer puts up aifalfa: For stack bot tom use any old material eight or ten inches deep, seven or eight feet wide and ns lung ns you need. Have some good dry hay or straw ready. Cut the -alfalfa when about half in bloom in dryest part of day and let it thoroughly wilt or cure until you can press it into a wad betw een your hands. Haul to stack and put a layer of eight or ten inches of alfalfa; then dry hay or straw, then alfalfa a foot; hay or traw eight or ten inches, and so on until as high as wanted. Dry mate rial must be eight inches In middle to nothing at the edge of stack. This is the scientific and only way to cure alfalfa, and it make the best all around food in the world for all firm animal. ... . A M SAVED THEIR NAMES.

(The Blgcect Man In the So-Called "Kaffir . ijroup. ) the wonderful talcs of the diamond fields in Kimberley. He readied there but little in ndiancc of his future as sociate nnd friend, Cecil John diodes. He made money at Kimberley in a small way at first, nfterward increas ing his store, until he came in touch with Khodes nnd helped the latter to perfect his groat consolidation scheme, which placed the Kimberley mine own ers in a position to dictate prices to the diamond merchants of the world. When diodes, licit anil the late Har ney 1'arnato became life governors, under the origin.il charter of the De lleers company, they little thought that the provision securing them n fourth part of the profit s after n divi dend of ;;i per cent, had been paid tn the shareholders would prove in it-elf a source uf enormous revenue. In the decade immediately preceding the liner war this fourth part aggregated near ly $10.((i0.(;(!li. or Sl.OOSUHiO a year. In addition to this income, licit had tho dividends upon his" lie l'oor stock, his interest in the great bunking firm of Jules Purges & Co., afterward succeed ed by Wcrnhor, licit & Co., nnd a pre ponderant share in several enormously lucrative mining ventures in Ihe neigh borhood of Johnnneshorg. Xot possessing an aggressive and re sistant personality licit naturally fell under the spell of Cecil diodes, w hose wealth was never more than a fourth of his ow n. In the strongly marked in dividuality of the Kiiglishmnn the (ier mnn recognized the very antithesis of himself nnd readily submitted to a leadership which he knew It would have been useless to dispute. Like many other money lords licit has been credited with working harder than any of his employes nnd with leading the life of an ascetic. All this is pure fic tion. He is not a hard worker, or nt least he has the faculty of accom plishing a good deal without putting forth nny particularly strenuous ef fort. He spends much of his time in entertaining, in a quiet wny, nt his house in Park lane and in riding and playing golf. His offices are the finest in London and when their quiet, unob trusive and diffident owner is there, in his Inner sanctum, he is nn extremely difficult man to nppronch. His staff is said to be better paid than any othet in London. 'I he Rhiiic OKI Story. J. A.
