FOREST TREES.

Better 20 Plant the Seed Where the Trees
Are to Grow Than to Transplant Trees of
Any Considerable Size.
George May Powell, Chairman of the
American Institute Forest Committee,
says relative to planting forest trees:
THE joachim and the Boaz of our
work has been, First: To show that as
it requires less time and labor to put
scores of tree seeds in the ground than
to transplant even small tree, the
great way to increase trees, is to plant
the seeds where the trees to grow from
them are permanently to stand. Often
q seed planted beside three-year old
transplant will be ahead of the latter
in ten years thereafter. The undis-
turbed Seeding will be a more vigorous
and valuable tree, and of far greater
longevity than the transplant Little
seedlings only few inches high and
q few months old are the best for trans
planting when transplanting takes the
place OF seeding, as above suggested.
Thus on . rainy day in early autumn
dozens of these forest babies" can be
set out in an hour. A half hour each
would be needed to transplant trees
with trunks an inch In diameter. No
more skill is needed than to transplant
a cabbage, and it is far more likely to
live, than its big brother. 1t will like
wise soon outgrow the big brother,
even though the latter manages to live.
A good way for a child to combine both
ideas would be to plant one or two tree
seeds, by simply pressing them in soil
when they fall from the trees, each in
q separate pot Set the pots in the
ground where there will be plenty of
moisture, ana when the baby is few
months old, set it, with all the earth in
the pot, where the tree is to remain"
Mr.. Powell has personally and prac-
ticaIly put these ideas in operation in
Asia and in Africa He has also
pushed them with bis pen and on the
platform in America He says:
Seconl-Our committee have been
very particular to show infinitely and
specifically that forest planting and
preserving will pay the individual in
his day and generation. Long before
any movable, salable product will

many times their cost, by increasing
the cash value Of property, in either
town or country in so identifying it,
that it will sell for more money.
Further, many a rural property may
have thousand trees along the roads
and fences in double rows II they
are nut and sugar-bearing trees they
may soon net more than as many
sheep, and with far less care and ex-
pense. We know of q chestnut tree in
Delaware County, Pa, seed planted in
1910, the sales from the nuts of which
have amounted to hundreds of dollars.
The nuts from a hickory tree on the
same property were also about as
profitable As the chestnut. For beauty
and sugar plant the hard maple-Acer
Saccharinum mot soft maple); for
ornament or honey, the Eastwood
Tia americana"

ter time of the year than spring. for

CLEANLINESS
An Essential In Every Operation Con-
nected with the Dairy.

An Essential In Every Operation Con-
nected with the Dairy.
To insist on cleanliness in every oper-
alton connected with the dairy, is like
repeating not ''twice-told." but
.'thousand-times-told tale, and yet
every days receipts of butter in the
Chicago market urge its repetition. Pure
milk and good butter are as incompati-
BILE with uncleanliness as truth is with
falsehood, and yet there seem to be just
as many people seeking to make good
dairy products without due regard to
the cleanliness as there are seeking to
maintain q reputation for truthfulness,
while indulging occasionally in little
departure from it. The old adage,
Cleanliness is next to Goodness. is no
where more strictly applicable than
to the dairyman, who handles milk
and makes butter and cheese
The dairyman owes it to the
public. as well as to his own pocket, to
exercise extreme care in handling his
product, as much so as the physician o.
apothecary who handles medicines,
where slight inattention may entail
serious results. His attention to clean
illness must begin in the eow-house and
with the milking. The cow-house it
self must be kept clear of accumula-
tons of steaming manure, the odor Of
which the milk would quickly absorb,
and the ventilation of the house must
be such as to keep the atmosphere
sweet and wholesome. The milking
pail must be examined before each
milking. to see that it is perfectly free
from impurity or dust which may have
found its way in since it was scalded
after the last milking. The udder and
teats of the cow must be carefully
wiped clean of hairs. dust, or other i'm
purity before milking. The scrupulous
attention to the cleanliness of the milk
ing pail must be extended to every
other vessel used in the dairy. Ii is
only by such carefulness that butter or
cheese can be made marketable. much
less palatable The slorenly da;rymGn

There is only one establishment in
the city where platinum articles are
manufactured. The place is on Bond
street, the industry being conducted on
the third floor of building. Although
its surroundings are unpretentious, col
lege professors and scientific men from
all parts of the United States are familiar
with it, and very large business is
quietly carried on. Its proprietor, who
is au old resident of the city, was asked
the other day by reporter for the
Nail and Express for some particulars
regarding the trade in platinum.
There isn't much 10 tell you." he
sad 'Yes, this is the only place of
this kind in the city, and have been
established here good many years.
Platinum, generally speaking. is one
third the value of pure gold. 1t is
worth. in round figures. eight dollars a
Troy ounce. Most of it comes from the
Ural districts OF Russia. We get it
from Russia in what is known a flat
stock or sheets, and in thick wire
rods
Isn't it found in America" asked
the reporter.
Not to any extent. We do get some
from Oregon and South America, but
not much, and the trouble now il that
the price is going up while there sre no
supplies fOrthcomin... 1t is manufact-
ured chiefly for laboratory use in col
leges and elsewhere. The sheets and
wires are made into small vessels and
fine, wires for experimental purposes,
the value of the metal consisting in its
resistance to heat. 1t takes double the
heat to melt it that is required to work
cast-iron. The articles made from it
include boilers, alembrics. crucibles,
siphons, tubes, wiregauze. b'owpipe,
spoons, spatulas, refining siphons aud
jewellers coloring baskets. l supply
colleges with these articles in all parts
of the country"
The speaker here showed the reporter
a piece of the sheet platinum. 1t
measured twelves inches long by six
inches wide, and was about half an inch
thick. 1t had the appearance of dull
silver. and was very heavy. You
might not tn nix it." he added, ''but |
would not take 81, 600 for that piece of
metal. Its great weight is something
remarkable. as you see: it is the
heaviest OF the commercial metas.'
What is increasing the demand for
plat num- WAS asked.
Tine electric lights In those of the
incandescent description the platinum
is used in the globe OF the burner, being
the two fine wires that are fused in the
globe To connect with the leading cop
per wires No other metal could be-
come fused into the metal that would
not become oxiiiZed. OF course. the
increased demand for the electric light
increases the demand for platinum.
Why, to show you how much of it is
used. when one of the electric light
companies was started, and both were
using and spelling great many of their
lights, they were paying me more than
81 900 per week for platinum wire'-

The Fight in the ola Dominion.

If the Virginia Republicans had been
privileged to order and arrange political
events with sole reference to the success Of
their own campaign, they would have said
'the best possible thing for us will be Re-
publican victory in Ohio"
If the Ohio Republicans had been re-
solved on making such campaign as
should give the greatest possible encour-
agement to their brethren in Virginia, they
could have done nothing wiser than that
which they did in making political liberty
the chief issue and winning the fight on 1t.
If, after pushing that issue to the front
and holding IL there, the Ohio Republicans
had been defeated, the effect on the Nir-
ginia campaign might have been injurious.
The issue would have been just as I'M
portant, the cause just as righteous in the
gloom of defeat as in the light of victory,
but the immediate result would have been
10 deprcss the Republicans and inspire the
bOurbons.
This was what the Democrats expected
what they confidently looked for. They
planned to 20 down the home stretch on
the stimulus of Hoadly victory and "the
facetious name they designate the demand
for free ballot.
Never was a triumph more opportune
never was victory better timed with regard
TO its moral effect than that which was won
in Ohio last Tuesday. 1t has discouraged
