ID. Porter would grace the Vice-Presiden-

reflect as great honor upon the nation as
he reflected honor and fame upon his
State and the South during his administra-

settle the States financial indebtedness, on
a satisfactory and honorable basis. has
contributed to his national reputation.
Without financial integrity, State and

In circular sent out by the Meeker
County Nursery the following direc-
tions are given for the planting of
trees:
Trees for transplanting may be in
ever so good condition when sent you,
but they VIII fail, unless you give them
proper care. Their growth depends
upon yourself.
As the life of plant is in roots, your
first care should be to keep these in
good condition. Do not allow them
to get dry, by exposure to sun OF wind
or to freeze apt Of the ground. Keep
them Well covered up In the ground
as much as possible. In
SETTING TREES.
dig holes much deeper than you wish
to set the roots. Dig at least two feet
deep aud from three to four feet ac-
cross so you will have plenty of room
to straiten out the roots. Fill the hole
up with good surface soil, making the
centre the highest. so the roots will be
from three to six inches lower than in
the Nursery. Straiten out the roofs
well, shake in ricn nne dirt around
them and press down Closely. Fill up
within few inches of the top, aud if
the soil is dry pour in pail of water.
Then fill up and tramp down solid but
leave the surfice level and loose.
Cultivate your trees through the
summer as you would corn and in the
Fall, put few shovelfulls of dirt close
to the body of the tree to keep mice
away and then mulch tL2 ground
around the treP well with coarse
manure. IN 'the spring remove this
and cultivate as before. If there is
danger from rabbits, wrap up the trees
i'll the fall With black building paper.
Before setting each tree cut OFF the
end of all the roots II they are bruised
ana when set cut back the top in good
shape. Wash the bodies of your trees
each June and August we'll with soft
soap thinned with water.

There is butter belt just the same
as there is wheat belt, cotton belt,
or a tobacco bet. People who talk
about the dairy business being over
done in the near future should remem-
ber that the section Of the country
adapted to dairying is comparatively
limited. 1t extends from line about
at the sou thern border Of Iowa to the
northern edge of Minnesota. Below
or to the south of the line just men,
toned butter and cheese making is
impractical, as the climate is too warm
and the vegetation not adapted to
making milk Of pure flavor. and as
a consequence the butter Will not be
good. On the other hand, when we
get as far north as the northern bound
ary of this state the winters grow too
long, and the labor of making hay and
taking care of cows during the cold
months will take off the profits. From
these facts, we don't think the bus-
ness is likely to he 4yerdone or. the

If Wiggins does not understand the
weather, he does seem to possess an
accurate knowledge of human nature.
He has succeeded in making himself
one of the best and worst known men
in the country, and to Wiggins it is
worth mint. He is publishing with
light and main the Virgins Storm
Herald, the Wiggins' Almanac and
the Wiggins' Weather Map. His fool
ish prediction has caused an enormous
loss of labor, amounting in the case of
the Gloucester fishermen alone to
$50, 900, and to suspended commercial
enterprises probably total of $500, 900.
Yet he is making money out of it.
Three cases of insanity are reported
as resulting from his insane prophecy,
yet he is safe from prosecution. Gen.
Hazen, who has been as successful in
not predicting storms that really came
as Wiggins has been in predicting
storms that never came, was about
right in saying that the publication of
Wiggins' prophecy was pestilence.-

Farmers of Appleton and vicinity,
why in the name of thrift, prosperity
and common sense don't you plant
more trees around your places and
take better care Of them after they are
planted? \ grove of trees, even if it
cover only three or four acres, well
kept and thrifty, increases the value
of Il farm in this country ut least one
third, to say nothing of the pleasure
and comfort it affords the owner. No
farmer can afford to be without trees,
although too many of them seem to
think they can.-Riverside Press.

two articles from Talcott and Sturte-

They are both old and experienced
farmers, and Mr.. Talcott says he has
practised the planting Of the tip kerr
nels for iitfy years, and he considers
better not to discard any part of the
ear. Now, to me this is Il new idea, it
is departure from the old theory

satisfied that wheat will stool more in
Southern Minnesota than 1t will here,
and a large plump kernel of wheat
will send up more stalks than small
one. One bushel to the acre may be q
plenty of seed in some localities, but
