The Transplanting Season.

The autumn season for transplant.
ing trees will soon arrive, and all
discussions as to whether fall-plant-
ing or spring-planting is best will
give way to the fact that large mum
bers are set out, and how best to do
/ it will be the great question There
is always one thing in favor of fall
planting, and that is, that whether
/ it is in all cases the best, or not quite
the best, there is so much to be done
in the spring that is is great gain
to get all out of the way that can be
done at all /; hence what can be set
out leaves US so much more free 10
work in the next busy season How
ever, it is well to remember that there
is more to be done in the way OF
precaution at this time of the year
than in any other.
1t is well-known now that when
trees of the regular planting size die
in the winter season after transplant
ing, it is because the moisture is
dried out of them by winds and
frosts. The roots-more or less mu-
tilated, as the roots Of transplanted
trees must necessarily be-cannot
supply the waste as well as the tree
not transplanted hence, the plant
er's great object should be to check
or guard against the waste of the
trees juices as much as possible.
One of the best things is to plant as
soon after the leaves are ripe as pos.
sible, and in this way the several
roots have little time to heal over
before frost, and thus can play bet
ter part in the system OF water
works. Then again something can
be done in the way of trimming
back the weak twlgs and shoots
which generally get killed anyhow,
but do not die until they have play
ed an important part in the great
water waste. Another matter OF
gain is in keeping the roots as much
as possible from the frost. If the
roots have to supply the waste of
sap which goes on in the winter
time, they will surely be better able
to draw moisture out of untrozen
than frozen ground and frost can
be kept out considerably by mound
ing the earth somewhat up about
the stem, and drawing it away as
soon as the cool weather is gone In
spring. This plan also operates
against the tendency of plants TO
become drawn out by frosts, and is
often done by planters without .
thought as to the double benefit.
Some people put heavy mulch
over transplanted trees in order to
keep out frosts, and this is an excel
lent plan where there are no mice
about, as there is danger of having
the tress girdled.
Evergreens, having SO large mass
of green surface, from which moist
ure escapes by drying winds usually
suffer much more than deciduous
trees but Nature seems to have
done her best to make up for tEis
by giving them a greater share Of
roots, 1t is perfectly wonderful to
note the immense mass of roots with
which spruce or an arbor-vite is
furnished in comparison with the
number of any deciduous tree; yet
with this extra advantage we all
know how the winds in winter
whip" a newly planted evergreen.
This also requires that they should
be more firmly staked. = -Germantolon

In Scotland they have narrow,

when the animal came to the sheep
drain he would not 20 over. So the
man rode back short distance.

when going to the top of his speed,
would jump the drain. But not so.
When the donkey got to the drain
he stopped, and the man went over

he touched the ground than he got

Something About Armour. the Man
who Recently Reaped Harvest
ofGold.


Chicago Letter in the Galveston News.
A middlesized man, with shoul-
ders solid and broad enough to be-
long to a shoulder-hitter. was max
ing his way across Washington
street.
"The most talked-of man in the
West" said a man at my ei-
bow.
Who is he?'
"Phil Armour was the reply.
The pork kings figure is worth look
ing at. One maryels in the first
place where in the world the great
operator got such a muscular frame.
A large, square head, sits well upon
the shoulders. The face is pleasant,
broad, firm-looking and clean-shaven
except for small side whiskers under
the temples. While he was getting
across the street from restaurant
to his Office half a dozen people
recognized him and spoke to him.
1t was a remarkable transaction,
this last great deal OF Armour, the
cleverest and most profitable. say the
provision crowd, since the gigantic
one of 1879, which involved the pork
of the whole globe, and netted a
profit of SO, 100000.
Armour is a great trader, not a
bizarre speculator, nor millionaire
by crooked manipulation OF rail-
roads. nor rich man by the posses
sion OF an easy monopoly. With
the 10000 men in his employ, with
the lieutenants he so successfully Sc
lects, he annually distributes s40,-
100000 worth of food products, un-
dersells most of his competitors and
controls the markets of the world.
Because in two or three great strug-
giles between him and speculaters
who thought to compass his ruin he
routed his speculative adversaries
and maze vast sums OF money out
of them, he is popularity set down as
great produce Speculation, but be
is not merely speculator.
Il have got 10000 men in my
employ, and my business supports
$4,000 people, the wives and chill
dren of my men," he likes to say.
