should be partially filed with good sur
face soil, upon which the tree should
stand, so that its roots could extend
naturally according to their original
growth. Good fine loan should be sift-
ed through and over them, and they
should not be permitted to come in con-
tact with decaying matter or coarse, un-
fermented manure. The tree should be
set as deeply in the soil as it stood when
first taken up. As the earth is thrown
gently through and over the roots it
should be packed lightly against them
with the foot, and water, should the sea-
son be rather dry and warm, poured in
from time to time to settle the fine soil
about them. The surface should be
levelled at last with slight dip toward
the tree, So that spring and summer rains
may be retained directly about the roots.
Then mulch of coarse manure is help
full, for it keeps the surface moist, and
its richness will reach the roots gradual
ly in diluted FORM A mulch of straw,
leaves, or coarse hay is better than none
at all. After being planted, three stout
stakes should be inserted firmly in the
earth at the three points of triangle,
the tree being its centre. Then by rope
of straw or some soft material the tree
should be braced firmly between the pro-
tecting stakes, and thus it is kept from
being whipped around by the wind.
Should periods Of drought ensue during
the growing season, it would be we'll
to rake the mulch one side, and saturate
the ground around the young tree with
an abundance of water, and the mulch
afterward spread as before. Such water
ing is often essential, and it should be
thorough.

The Hog on the Farm .
Farm, Field and Stockman

farm. flelu ana StOckman.
There is one point in favor of the hog
which is not placed always to its credit,
and that is, unlike the horse, COW, or
sheep, it produces number of young at
one birth. This fact enables those who
make hog raising a speciality to rapidly
increase such stock, and cheapens the
cost of production by reducing the num-
Der of sources from which the supply is
derived Taking this into consideration,
and also that the hog will eat anything
that may be produced upon the farm, he
is more valuable animal than is ascribed
to him. Although the hog may be made
to produce pork at low cost, yet our
farmers have, as rule, for generations,
adopted the most expensive methods OF
feeding that could be devised, and in SO
practicing they have also partially
changed the nature ct the animal in or
der to conform it to the requirements of
concentrated diet. May not this have
something to do with the introduction of
new diseases that cause disaster to the
swine industry? We believe the time
will come when corn will not be fed so
lavishly, and that some other Find of a
hog will be preferred to that which is al
ways indolent and in constantly dis
eased condition.
But while the clover pasture is recon-
mended as the best place for growing
hogs, our farmers are averse to allowing
them to run upon it. Where there are
cows and other stock that demand the
pasture the hog has no place with them.
He cannot be turned upon the pasture
without ring in his snout to prevent
him from tearing up the earth, and yet
the roots to him are more preferable
than the stalks and leaves. We
think the better plan is to soil
the swine In large yard, cutting
grass and weeds, and feeding ali material
that is collected on the farm that would
otherwise be wasted. Fed in this man
ner, and on variable diet, meal of corn
once a day would not be lost, while the
manure saved will pay well for the labor.
But for the fact that most farmers dread
the labor required, soiling the hogs
would be an established method, yet the
manure from large herd, in one year
alone, would almost pay the expenses of
everything but food.

UNDER THE MAGNoLIAs.

: Roused by clear-voiced tumpeter of dawn.
In Joy seek the golden courts of day:
The dusky cohorts of the night have gone
Far down their western way.
\ winding forest path invites my feet.
Low winds are calling from the dewy aisles;
before me lies the heron's dim retreat
A maze of leafy miles.
Some power occult so moves me that cross
The sleeping garden where bananas lean,
And win, through hoary oak groves dropped with
moss,
"A knocking bird salutes me as go,
An oriOle greets me as press along;
feel in all my veins quickening glow,
Companioned thus by song.
Through interlacing boughs of pine and palm
1 catch brief slimpses of turquoise sky;
Below, as softly as an evening psalm,
The river ripples by.
/ gain ere long the royal forests heart,
And pause, where proud magnolias lift in
state
Their wealth of blossoms, whose pale petals
.Sweetly inviolate.
Here, in the early legendary days,
Besides these mi ghty, time-defying boles.
Gathered around their camp-fires ruddy blaze
The swarthy Seminoles.
And through the trembling shadows round me
cast
My startled fancy pictures, even now,
A stealthy chieftain gliding slyly past,
With bow of stout ash bough.
Recalling memories of persisted time,
While thus stray through changing glow and
gloom,
do not heed how trumpet creepers climb
Or golden jasmines bloom:
But taking leave of present thoughts and things
voyage on years that swiftly backward flow
And dwell with those who reigned as. forest
kings
Two centuries ago.

Inserson Rebuked BY Lamar.

Bob Ingersoll visited Washington last
week, writes correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. After making the
capital his home for many years, he has
removed to New York, where he hopes
the profits of his legal business will great
ly exceed the comfortable income he de-
rived from the practice of his profession
in the district of Columbia. Ingersoll
has many friends among politicians of
both parties, and one of his admirers is
Secretary Lamar. The infidel called up
on the secretary at the interior depart
ment, and Ingersoll, in the course OF
half an hours conversation, said scores
of witty things, which Lamar, lying up
on the sofa in his private Office, enjoyed
immensely. Ingersol finally made some
remark in ridicule of orthodox Christiani-
ty. There was momentary pause when
he finished, and the secretary jumped to
his feet, throwing his long hair with an
impatient gesture back from his forehead,
"Ingersoll," he exclaimed, II hope to
live to see the day when you will come
to this capital city and preach to the
world Christ and Him crucifed With
your magnificent abilities and splendid
oratory you could work revival such as
the world has never seen. 1 hope, Bob,
to see the day when this will come to
pass, and you could not engage in any
grander or more noble work"
An awkward silence followed and the
infidel appeared to be mOmentarily en-
barrassed. He told story about a
Cornish miner, who, not believing In a
God, sacrificed his life willingly to succor
fifty of his comrades imprisoned in a
mine. The story was not pertinent to
the secretarv's remarks and In no sense
an answer to the appeal. Ingersoll
seemed to appreciate this, and he soon
turned the conversation away from re-
igious subjects.

A Fashionable Thief

Chicago News.
Last summer when Professor H., of
Washington, gentleman well known to
the scientific world returned from Europe,
he brought with him cancels hair shawl,
valued at $500, as present for his wife.
A lady friend to whom Mrs. II. exhibited
the gift, inquired if there was any mark
upon it by which it could be distinguished
in case it was either lost or stolen. Mrs.
H. replied that there was not. At her
friends suggestion she marked her
initials upon narrow piece of tape and
sewed them in the center of the shawl
Last week Mrs. H. attended a reception
at a fashionable house in the northwest
ern part of Washington city. Everybody
who was supposed to be anybody was
there When Mrs. A., at the conclu-
sion of the festivities, looked for her
shawl it could not be found. She in
quired of the maid in attendance, who
remarked that lady at that moment
leaving the room had taken a shawl
similar to the description given by Mrs.
H. The latter, addressing the departing
guest, politely said:
Excuse me, bat think you are wear
my shawl"
''You are mistaken" was the freezing
reply. II have nothing that does no be-
long to be-"
A close inspection, however, convinced
Mrs. 81. that she was correct in her sur
misses.
You shall not leave this room," said
she ''until have personally satisfied my
self that am in error" Then turning
to several ladies who were watching the
proceedings with establishment, Mrs. H.
proceeded:
IF one Of you ladies will examine tie
under side of that shawl, you will find
my initials sewed In the center"
The garment was grasped by two or
three curious hands simultaneously. A
single glance showed the letters '.E. j.
H." precisely as Mrs. H. had said.
Meanwhile the aristocratic thief was fee
ing down stairs as fast as shame and
ridicule could drive her. She is the wife
of an officer in the United States navy
and descendant of one o. the bluest
blooded families.

STANFORD INTERVIEWED.
President Cleveland and the Labor Ones
lion Discussed.
LRY Telrgraph.1

[By TeleEraph.1
NEW YORK, august 12th-The World
has interviewed Leland Stanford. who
said: Mr. Cleveland has not gained
much popularity IN California. / cannot
say that they disapprove of his policy, for
they do not know what it is. He does
not seem to have outlined any definite
course. Our people do not know where to
place him, and Of course that does not
strengthen hiin rnucss. do not think he
could carry California in 1888. You will
see how California stands in the election
this fall. Unless all signs fail, the Repub-
licans will sweep the State. Cleveland has
made number of very bad appointments
in our State, and in my Judgment he has
lost ground with the people over the coun-
try by his pension vetoes. There are about
100 of them in all, and the alleged saving
he has made is very small. A few widows
have suffered and o few men have been
deprived of mEchrneeded assistance, but
the President did not appear TO think of
that
Mr. Stanford then branehed out into an
extended discussion of the labor question.
which he regarded as the most serious
problem that was before the country at
present. Legislation in the past had been
more directed for the preservation of capi-
tai than for the maintenance of the work
ing masses. Legislators had been studying
how to hold Governments together, and
very little attention had ever been directed
to the solution of the labor question. Mr.
Powderly, in theory, was all right, perhaps,
but it was theory that never could be
carried out. The doctrine that the world
owed every man living was we'll enough,
and every man could get it, too, if he was
willing to work. The moment, however,
that you, according to the Powderly theory,
said to the employer, I" You mus: do so and
so, and pay such price for such work,
you oyerstepped the bounds of common
sense. and interfered with the inalienable
right Of the employer to regulate his own
business. The solution of the labor ques-
ton, in his judgment, would come with the
advancement of the masses in education.
