Medicine for Trees.

THE Boston Journal Of Chemistry
quotes from scientific journal which
recommends boring holes in the trunks of
trees and inserting calomel to destroy in
sects, and comments thus:
This idea of endeavoring to force into
the circulation of tree mineral posons
to destroy injurious insects upon the
leaves and branches, seems to us very
vulgar and absurd. We hope no one of
our agricultural friends will engage in ex-
periments of this nature, for by so doing
we fear they will greatly endanger their
fruit tree. The sap in vegetable structures
corresponds, in many of its functions and
characteristics, with the blood of animal
organisms, and it is well understood amsng
psychologists and surgeons that that fluid
Is exceedingly sensitive to the presence OF
foreign agents. No more eudden or effect
i've way can be devised to destroy life
than to inject into the circulation any ex-
traneous agent, solid or fluid. Blood will
abstract from food or medicine what it re-
quires beautifully to perform its proper
work, and can obtain it from no other
source and SO with the sap. twill draw
from the soil the constituent particles it
needs, and any attempt to force in abnor.
NAL substances in an abnormal way can
but result in irreparable injury to the
structure.

Opiates for Children.

A LETTER from druggist is published
in the New York World, which calls at
tention to the enormous sale of prep
aration known as soothing sirup," an
analysis Of which is alleged to detect a
large percentage of morphine, and from
which several cases of narcotic poisoning
have been reported in medical periodicals
of high authority. It is averred that not
only are children proportionately less
tolerant than adults Of the action of OPT
ates, but that in them the operation of
these drugs is exceedingly capricious and
uncertain; and hence medical writer's are
unanimous in impressing the utmost eau
ton in their administration to the young
Hoffman states that opiates are dangerous
to children not only in their effects, but
as leading in some instances to "perma-
nent mental imbecility and loss of muscu-
lar power" and warns against the popular
custom of giving anodynes for slight at
tacks of collie or other pain. Trousseau
asserts that he has frequently seen infants
poisoned by dose of wine of opium, con-
tanning not more than one hundredth of
grain of opium. Hundreds of cases are
recorded in which children, ranging in
age from few days to year or more,
have been fatally poisoned by preparations
containing opiates, and thousands of older
invalids are suffering the consequences of
a drugged infancy. Selfindulgent parents
OF unprincipled nurses may quiet fretful
children with plain paregoric or disguised
carminatives and soothing syrups, but the
desired end is purchased at a fearful risk.
The World suggests that it would be well
if the compounders Of all patent medi.
cines," whether intended for children or
for grown people, were forced by law to
print upon the label of every box or bottle
of their wares the names and proportions
of the different ingredients, in order that
the purchaser might Judge for himself, or
ascertain from the proper authority,
whether they were devoid of danger.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Transplanting Large Trees.

As A general rule, we never advise the
purchase or transplanting of very old
trees; still, If the requisite care is given
they may often be used quite advantage
ously-particularly if not transported any
considerable distance. We have trans.
plated apple, pear, and cherry trees that
were ten to fifteen years old, and their
growth was but slightly checked by the
removal. In regard TO the proper method
of performing this operation, there are
almost as many different opinions as there
are men who undertake 1t, and each and
every one Of them believe that their par
ticular way is the best. This diversity of
opinion among gardeners only proves
that trees hold on to life very tenaciously,
and will Withstand considerable i'll treat
ment.
One of the most laborious and expen-
sive methods is that of transplanting in
winter, with {. ball of frozen earth sur.
rounding the roots; but we do no, believe
that this expensive mode is ever really
necessary, or of sufficient importance to
pay for the extra expense incurred.
Neither do we attach any considerable
importance to ball Of earth about the
roots at any other time; although with
small evergreens, il may be well to leave
all the soil that will adhere. We prefer
to remove all large deciduous trees soon
after the leaves have fallen off in the au-
tumn, or very early in the spring.
The most important point to be OBJ
served is the preservation Of roots the
more, the better, although it is seldom
that all can be retained. First, remove
the soil from above the roots with spade
or shovel, then with spading fork work
it from among them, being careful not to
bruise or break, but carefully follow each
and every one to their extreme ends.
When all the roots have been separated
from the soil, lift the tree, and shorten the
branches severely. At least One.half
the entire length of all large branches
should be cut away, and quite often two
thirds would not be too much.
We consider severe pruning to be of the
utmost importance to all transplanted
trees, and with large ones it should never
be omitted. Ii the trees are to be carried
TO any considerable distance, or remain
out of the soil even for few hours, the
roots must be protected and not allowed
to get dry.
In replanting, cover the roots only as
deep as they were originally, and spread
out each and every one in natural po-
sition, then tread the soil firmly upon
them, being careful to fill up the spaces
between the large as we'll as small ones.
If rain should not come within few days
after planting, few pals Of water may
aid in settling the soil about the roots
but we have never found it necessary to
water "a tree that was properly planted,
either in spring or fall. A careful pres.

branches, and then planting with care re-

Bees Ont DOORS Raise the hives and
clean the stands. Brush dead bees from
among the combs and cut out mouldv
pieces. Look to the strength of your
stocks, unite weak swarms and feed light
ones. The best way to feed now is to
open the holes in the top, put thereon
honey sealed in the comb, and cover with
a close-fitting box. Scatter unbolted rye
flour in large shallow boxes near the
hives before the bees get taste of pollen
from the flowers. Look out for loss Of
queens-about one in fifty is the average.
Immature bees and eggs on the bottom
board are the indications of her presence.
With movable combs she may be readily
found. No matter how strong now, q
queenless stock would probably run down
by swarming time If such hive should
be neglected and chance to be diseased, it
would undoubtedly be robbed and the
fearful pestilence spread broadcast. In
uniting swarms, hives partly or entirely
filled with combs are left. If these are
clean and in good condition, save them
with care From ten to fifteen pounds Of
one of wax, hence, neuer melt up good
acorker comb Such, thoroughly frozen in
the winter and kept protected from the
moth, will keep Indefinitely, but ii the
bees are taken out too late to freeze it,
fumigate with sulphur occasionally. Put
swarms into such hives, taking special
care not to break the combs when new
and heavy with honey.
Bees In d0ors-Set out on the first warm
day-a few at first, as far apart as posi-
BILE, more in two or three hours, and so on.
Place them as nearly as possible on stands
occupied by same hives last year. Bees
will probably mix some with utmost care;
examine in day or two, and equalize by
causing strong and weak to interchange
stands. If cold weather supervenes, the
weak ones should be set back till it passes.
Don't tempt the bees to rob by leaving
refuse honey or comb in their reach

IN THE YEAR ~.
s. An Innocent Man Hung for MUIR


To the Editor Of the Gourier-Jeurnal,l
In your paper Of last Thursday you
publish romantic statement, designed
to show that John c. Hamilton, who was
hung at Glhsgow, KY in 1917 for the
murder of DR.. Sanderson, was Innocent
of the murder. / wish | could believe
the story of Hamilton innocence, but |
cannot believe it on the statement made
in your paper of Thursday. The So
called confession Of criminal, who was
hung in Mississippi, somewhere in
Eastern Mississippi, where we are not
told, either thirty or thirty-tiYe years
ago, has an indefniteness, dubiety and
mystery about it that do not plead loudly
for credence. If such confession as Is
reported was made thirty or thirty-five
years ago." in some part of Eastern
Mississippi, 1t Is mysterious that 1t
should have remained a secret during
thirty or thirty-five years. There we're
at. the time in Kentucky great number
OF. persons deeply interested IN the con
fession reported. Andrew jackson S
bosom friend and great lieutenant, Gov.
VIM. Carroll, was, at thst tune one OF the
most conspicuous men in Tennessee.
He was the 3brother-in.law of John Q.
Hamilton Why was this exonerating
confession " kept from him2 =
- John o. Hamilton was convicted on
circumstantial evidence, but it consisted
Of IA Dong series of circumstances, all
painting in one direction. These cir
cumstances were weighed and presented
to the jury by Solomon p. Sharp, .one OF
the ablesfl and most CONSCIENTIOUS law
yers in Kentucky. There were few per-
sons in the State in 1917 or since who
entertained any doubt as to Hamilton
guilt. He prepared pamphlet on his
case. which was published at Lexington,
KY, by his father, after the son was ex-
.ecuted. ] read it at the time Of its pub
I1ication, aud neither its. method nor Its
tone struck me as the work Of an inno-
ceat man. The great effort of the IN
happy man was 70 create an impression
thaf a family, whose name he gave, were
the authors OF the murder. he tried 70
produce the suspicion that they stole his
sherry-valles, put blood on them aud
hid them where they might be found.
The pamphlet Of which speak exhibit
ed a ferTent piety rarely seen among
such men as Hamilton. The letters pur-
porting TO have been written between the
conviction for murder and execution
we're perfectly sanity in their character.
But DR. John j. Waller, the distinguish
ed Baptist clergyman and editor. told
me that they we're the merest shsms lie
said thai every clergyman who approach
ed Hamilton on the subject Of religion
