Care Of NeMly.set Trees and Shrubs.

In view of the drouth which prevails
in many parts of the country and its
unusual severity over extensive districts,
we would suggest to those who have
planted trees or shrubs the past spring
that there is one method, and so far as
we know, only one, by which they may
be protected against injury or death
from that cause. Surface watering has
been shown to do more harm than good
The ground is made hard and compact,
thus becoming better conductor of
heat while it becomes less pervious to
air and moisture. A portion of the sur
pailful after pailful of water thrown in
until the ground, to a depth of two feet
and to a width about the stem of not
less than three feet in diameter, has be-
come saturated. Then, as soon as the
water has disappeared from the surface,
the removed soil should be well pulver-
lied and returned. A covering of
boards, straw or hay, or even of sand or
gravel, may then be applied, end the
tree or shrub, thus treated, will pass
through ten days of additional drouth
in safety.
AS soon as rain comes to wet the
earth thoroughly, we think it is better
to remove the mulch. Nothing is then
gained by permitting it to remain. Mel
lowing the surface soil about the trees,
thus keeping it free from grass and
weeds, is then the most that is needed.
We would repeat that the present is the
season when the female borer deposits
her eggs on the stems of fruit trees, and
the wash of lime, postash, sulphur, etc.
(darkened with lampblack), should now
be applied and re-applied during June
and July, as soon as washed off by rain.

pertinent of blowing by electricity trans
mitted from a central generator was
tried last year with encouraging sue
cess. The same plan would answer for
the operation of cultivators and har-
vesters; and with light, movable rail
way track, the same power would suf-
flee to do the heavy hauling incident to
farm work. and one of the great adj
vantages of electric carriage would be
shown here, as elsewhere, in the facility
with which it can be operated at dis
lance. The wagon, loaded or empty,
would need no driver, and could be
trusted alone to pursue an even course
between stations. By means of sus-
pended cable-tracks the toughest re-
gions could thus be safely and economi-
cally traversed either by small passen-
ger cars, mail bags, or freight carriers;
and the constant flow of evenly dis
tributed small loads along such line
would aggregate as large tonnage as
is now transported over solid and cost
ly roads in long but widely separated
trains.
We have already experienced in the
telegraph and the telephone the advan-
tages of electricity as carrier of
thoughts and sounds. Who can tell but,
when its capacities as carrier of men
and things have been fully developed,
the electric telegraph and the telephone
will be eclipsed in scope and utility by
the electric roadP Its possibilities are
infinite; and it is the disposition of the
men of these days to crowd the possible
in every MISUNDERSTANDING american.

Some Leading Questions.

A YOUNG man who looked as if he had
a heap of things on his mind, but who
struggled hard to appear outwardly
calm, put a five-dollar bill OH the desk
of a Detroit lawyer the other day and
said:
Il want to ask you few leading
questions"
"Go ahead" was the reply, as the
money was quickly thrust out of sight.
eff | am engaged to q girl and 90
back on her what can she do?"
"Sue you for breach of promise"
''But if she goes back on me what
can l do?'
"Hunt up another"
"Um! Suppose have presented her
with a two-dollar fan, a pair of brace
lets, parasol and ring?'
"Then she's so much ahead"
elf believe that her infatuation for
another is but passing whim and l
flourish a revolver and talk of suicide,
what then?n
Her father will probably pick you
up and drop you into the first mud

"Um! Suppose l had presented her
mother with a twenty shilling umbrel-
LAP"
"Then she'll keep dry"
"And her brother with an accorde-
on?"
"Then he'll worry the neighbors."
"Suppose, sir, [ had, for the sake of
making myself solid with the old man,
presented him with sixteen dollars
worth of Watchdog"
Hell set him upon you if you have
any trouble?'
''Um! Have no redress?n
Eyes, sir, go and lick the prairie
ranger who has stolen away your girls
affections.
"Pll do it!'
"Glad to hear it. I'll defend your
case for twenty dollars"
"Umr'

"Come to think of it he is a bigger
man than l an"
"Then let him lick you, and r Il make

to help its digestion can only be ae-
cepted as discreditable evasion of the
truth.
In Rome the other day an ostrich
managed to suffocate itself by pushing
its neck through between two bars,
swallowing bunch of keys that had
been dropped outside, and then trying
to get its head back again. The result
was that it was choked, and on its
stomach being examined for missing
property the usual assortment of stones,
nails, coins, and beads was discovered,
with, however, the interesting addition
of a silver medal of the Pope and the
cross of an Italian order. By whom or
when these honorable decorations were
" conferred" upon the sparrow-cauel,
no one knows; but the ostrich, it seems,
did its best to show its appreciation of
the distinction accorded it, and swal-
lowed both the medal and the order. 1t
had no buttonhole from which to dis
play its honors, but at all events it had
a coaJ-to its stomach.-L09cJOn Tele-

Big Trout in the Rocky Mountains.

In the month of July, 1868, 1 cap
tured in the headwaters of the Gualupita
River, in the Taos Mountains, New
Mexico, in one mornings fishing, using
a sixteen-ounce trout rod, made in St.
Louis, fourteen speckled trout, the
smallest of which weighed three pounds
and two ounces, and the largest four
pounds and fourteen ounces. [ took
these trout within half mile, and the
most of them from under an old beaver
dam, using both fly and grasshopper.
In June, 1869, l took from the Rio
Colorado Chicita, in the same noun
tains, large number of trout from one
to four pounds, where 1 do not believe
any white man ever ished before.
was on a gold-hunting expedition in the
Cimarron Valley, and had crossed the
mountains for hunt and fish with two
companions. l had been fishing for
some two hours with but little success,
when l reached a spot on the stream
that promised to be perfect Ell Dora
do, for my first cast gave me fine fish,
at least three pounds. For about one
hundred yards the stream had narrowed
and deepened, and was well covered by
tall grass; my second cast gave me a
chance of fastening to something that
upset me mentally and physically, for l
lost him in about two minutes, as | did
my fly and smell. He's whopper,"
said | to myself, "and I'll get him be.
fore | go home" So | marked the
spot, and, making detour, fished the
stream for mile, and took turn until
afternoon.
On returning I commenced trying to
find my lost hook; of course, not the
fish that took it. Fly after fly, grass
hopper after grasshopper, moth, worm,
every thing | could thing of did 1 bait
with, but nothing but small fish. At
last happy thought struck me. Il sat
down and opened one of my largest fish;
in his stomach | found pieces of kind
of root that l did not recognize as ever
having seen before; they were about
one-half inch in length, white, soft, and,
on tasting, found them sweet and arc
matte. l concluded to try one of these
pieces as bait. | did so, and it was
success, for l struck fish that took all
my nerve and experience to take care
of. For nearly one hour / did all could
to conquer him, and at last succeeded.
And when had landed him, by wading
in shallow place that | had coaxed
him into, and laid him on the grass,
thought that it was very whale in size
| took him to camp and weighed him.
Now for the big part of it; he actually
weighed nine pounds and fourteen
ounces, and it was trout-the biggest
fish that had ever been seen in New
Mexico. The natives and people who
saw the fish pronounced it a true
speckled trout.
The stream is at least 1900 miles
from sea water, 5000 feet above the sea
level, and $50 miles from any large
stream, and is not more that fifteen feet
wide, and varies from one to five feet
deep.-G. F. Simpson, IN Chicago Field
