TREES IN WINTER.
Some Facts in Relation to Fall-Growth
and Ninter-iNilling.

Some Facts in Relation to Fall-Growth
and winter-Knling.
The condition OF tree when winter
sets in has more to do with its survival
intact than most persons imagine. A
tree may be perfectly hardy in one soil
and situation and in another near by it
may be tender. In the one case il may
have been kept growing late in the au-
tumn, and freezing weather found it
green, sappy and susceptible TO a tenn
perature that, had It's wood been fully
ripe, itwOuld have successfully y resisted.
The seasons in the West are often fav-
orable TO late autumn growth II in the
case Of fruit-trocs bearing full crop.
weakening the vitality of the tree, lay.
orable weather for fall growth ensuos,
especially # warm winter suns should
occur followed by cold nights, disaster
is pretty sure TO come. The extensive
winter-killing Of the apple tree in Hi
uois two years ago is a case in point.
The disaster was most marked in early
and cousJant-bearng sorts, while shy
bearers, even those considered tender,
went through comparatively uuscathed.
The reason was obvious. Growth was
natural and the wood was fully ripcued.
while the bearing trees, in the attempt
20 do two years work in one, failed.
Dry seasons, under plenty of rain and
favorable autumn weather, may force
trees into a second growth in fall. If
so there win be danger of winter-kil-
Ing. To avoid this every means posi-
bile should be used. Above all no cult
vation should be allowed. since this will
stimulate growth. For trees where
special means may be used heavy
mulching would be indicated. since this
would keep the soil less susceptible
either to excessive weting or heat. To
prevent the killing of Young seedlings
probably no better plan could be used
than to protect them with mulch, and
as an additional protection the summer
shade usually given should be continued
through the winter. The relative hard
mess Of young forest seedlings, from
observations made at the Ohio Expert
ment Station after severe winters, is
given as follows:
seedlings Of green ash and yellow
locust escaped without any loss; per
cent. of scarlet maple and of black ash
was killed; 5 per cent. of red oak, G per
cent. of white ash and wild cherry, Z
per cent. of maple sugar, 8 per cent. of
catalpa, 20 per cent. OF rcd oak, 3S per
cent. of cucumber-tree, 50 per cent OF
black walnut, So per cent. of chestnut
and 81 per cent. of white oak Seeding:
were killed.
With age the white oak is one of the
hardest trees of our Northern forests,
but. ike the black walnut and chestnut,
is peculiar in respect to soil and situa-
ton. 1t is more than likely that loca-
tions and conditions had mucn to do
with the great fatality in the trees
named. Hence the tree-planter should
consider the conditions Of soil, location
and climate to insure success. Chicago

SELECTING SEED CORN
Ut Should BE Done While the Ears Are
Still on the stalk.

Before the corn crop is cut up or
gathered from the stalk. a day or two
should be spent in the field selecting
seed corn for the next years crop. A
man who grows forty acres of corn can
hardly use day to better financial pur-
pose than by spending it in the field Sc
iecting seed. The selecting should be
done while the ears are still on the
stalks, and they are yet green. This is
necessary that the character of the
stalks, as well as the ears. be observed.
Any one who has been in a corn field
knows how the stalks vary; some are
large, some small. some short. some
tall, some two, three or more ears, and
many have none. This last class of
stalk, should not be allowed to exist in
q field from which seed corn is TO be Sc
lected' for the pollen from them fertil
lZeS other ear-bcaring stalks.
As the grain is the object sought in
raising corn crop, the selections
should be from those stalks bearing the
largest proportion OF this to stalk. A
ilLlIe investigation in the field will show
that the largest and best ears are not
as rule, produced on the largest and
talicst stalks, but rather on medium
sized, shorter ones. twill be observed,
too, that unless affected by disease or
insects, the medium sized stalks, bear
ing the best ears, are the first to ripen.
The growth OF such ha, been more con-
tnuous through the season, and have
been able to mature their seed more
quiclly and perfectly. Size, then, of
stalks and time Of ripening are two
points to be observed in selecting seed
corn, and it is obvious that these can
only be considered while the corn is yet
standing and somewhat green.
After noting the character Of the
stalks, then that of the ears must be
looked to closely. The attachment of
the ear 10 the stalk and the character of
the husk, are points worth considering.
Any one who ha. gathered corn knows
how much easier and faster certain
kinds can be gathered than others, sole
ly because of the difference in this re-
gard.
Then the size and character of the ear
must be console. ell. Inc model ear *
the one having small cob, deep grains
set closely with the top, OF the kernels
square. so there will be rs little vacant
space as possible between the rows
Rows should be straight, and the ear
preserve a nearly equal size from butt
to tip.
As the selecting for all the points
named above can best be done while
the corn is yet somewhat green, rather
than the picking OF the ears from the
stalk, we prefer the plan adopted by
Prot Sanbun no the Missouri Agricul-
tural College The stalks on which the Sc
lected ears are borne. are cut, carried out
TO the edge of the field and put in very
small shocks until thoroughly dried,
when the corn is hu,kcd out and housed.
The place of storage should be dry and
have an even temperature, and be free
from rats and mice.
Al this care and work may seem use
less and foolish to many, but We are
convinced that for a man growing forty
acres of corn, a day spent thus viii in
crease his crop az least fifty bushels. and

be an old man"
With the deplorable present intention
of the elders of the congregation to de-
molsh this interesting old place we
have nothing whatever to do; but the
facts of the case are not without inter-
est. 1t appears that the governing
body, the constitution of which is pecu-
liar and of very ancient date, and alto
gether arbitrary and autocratic,
is composed of rich men who, now
living in opulence in the West end,
desire to pull down the present
building (replacing it for their poorer
brethren they leave behind with little
synagogue somewhere else), to sell the
extremely valuable site, and with the
money thus obtained to erect second
Portuguese "shool'' in the west. The
opponents of the scheme contend that
their wishes should be consulted; that
if the rich West-enders want new syn
agogue in their own neighborhood they
can well afford to build one for them
selves, without taking their beloved
brick and mortar record from them;
they contest their warden's right to
deal thus with Da Costa's gift to them
all, and they declare they will appeal
to the charity commissioners for pro-
lection, and to whom ever else can help
them, well knowing, however, that
their rich opponents by fighting them
can force their hands. How this will
terminate will be known before the
present month expires. Jews are gen
orally credited with an inordinate love
of race association and of money consid-
erations; it will be interesting to OBJ
serve which will prevail in this case.
1t is to be hoped, if solely from an an
tiquarian point of view, that the old
building may be spared. Pail Mall Ga
