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

these there need bo no failures.

At Idaho Falls, in Idaho, one of I he
larpe.-t clubs in the slate is tho Vil
lage I i:iiroi,ii:eiit Kucicty, entirely
compoM-l of ivouien. Tho object of
these clubs should be to make the
Mrivts clean m il beautiful, to en
courage private owners to keep their
lots and farms beautiful, anil their
lioinos teachers of ctiiioiiiont. 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

.Mea nn It ile oil ic improvement poos
forward on parallel lines with coun
try improvement. It seems to be ac
cepted as an assured fact that cities
are to spread out hereafter over a
icry mucli larper territory. The ex

fur Chic Improvement met recently
at Sprinplield, (I. The leapue is to
hold a week's convent ii in at Chan
tauipi.i fur disciissinp all sorts of mu
nicipal reforms. It is believed that
political reform and physical reform
must po mi topethcr. The Spokane
Floral association, which is a com
mittee of the Stale Federation on
Forestry and Outdoor Art, issues a
year bonk showing how best to ad
vance the study and the work of civic
improvement, especially in the way
of planting (lowers mid trees. 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

It has boon discolored that burnt
gumbo is a most serviceable material
for use on country road.-. 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

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

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.
