RULES FOR PLANTING TREES.
The Kind to Select and How They Can
Kept In Good Order

The Klnd TO select and How They Can He
Kept In Good Order.
From the Country Gentleman.
The following twenty rules are self
evident to most tree planters, who, for
want OF attention, break some Of them, and
reminders are therefore often useful:
l. A valuable sort is worth more than
merely handsome tree.
2. Good healthy brscing roots are OF moro
Importance than sy mmetI ical top.
3. The roots should be long and strong
enough, and tho top made light enough, to
obviate any shaking.
4, II the roots of tree are frozen, and
then thswed out OF the ground or In contact
with the air, the tree will be killed.
8. II frozen roots are thawed In compactly
Pressed mellow earth, tho tree may DO made
70 live.
o Manure should never be placed In con-
tact with the roots when setting out treo,
bat used for mulch or top-dresaing.
Z. Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stood In the nursery, or two
or three inches deeper, TO allow for the set
tling of the earth.
s Spread out the roots nearly equally on
all sides, 30 as to brace the tree we'll.
o. Avoid particularly any small cavity
next the roots, but I'LL compactly against
Them on all sides with fine, mellow earth.
10 A small, thrifty tree with copious
roots when set out Will be a good bearing
tree sooner than large one with mutila.ed
r9pts
surface, and does not reach the roots
II, Young trees should not be set In a
grass lot, or among any crops OF soxed
grain but the whole surface kept clean and
mellow.
l3. Shrivslled trees, before planting, may
he made plump by covering for several
days, compactly, with moist mellow earth.
IA III newly set ones suffer from droutb,
quently sprinkle or shower the stems and
branches.
10. The roots extend as far from tho tree
as It's entire height; clean and mellow cul-
tivation should therefore cover q circle
twice as wide AZ its height
10. As "a general rule, cultivation should
Do continued for six, eight or ten years
from Planting, after which closely grsZed
or lawn-mowed grass may be permitted,
with frequent top-dressinR.
| IL. Ihe amount OF manuring or top dress-
| ing must vary with the vigor OF the trees
I YouDg trees should grow Two or three feet
| yearly, and bearing ones one foot or more.
| 10 Keep an eye to the future shape of the
| tree, and timely remove small, need less,
| crossing or crooked limbs. This will OBJ
viste heavy pruning in after Year,.
10 Pruning when dormant tends to i'm
part yigor but II dono when growing Oh
Ia leaf, II checks growth (; and therefore a
feeble tree should never be prunsd after
| growth commences in the spring. But
| healthy, strong growers may bs lightly
pTuned at either season.
/ 20. Most Of the " bad luck" with Young
trees and orchards Is the result OF neglect
Ing the preceding rules.

Increased School Tax.

The finance committee of the Lancas.
ter school board announce that it il
necessary to raise the school tax
rate from three mills to four mills for
the current year, owing to the expense
contracted under the introduction of the
plan for free text books, etc., in the
public schools. 1t is stated that up to
june 1, 1888, there will be an expense for
this departure OF about ell 900.
Those who remember the discussion
that was had when this system was under
consideration will recall that its advo-
Gates declared that the new plan would
require an expenditure of an amount of
One-half OF what has been shown to be
needed. 1t was claimed that the burden
would be SO light as TO be scarcely felt
The scheme has been in operation but Q
little while when the people find their
school tax rate raised one-third, and per,
haps the end is not yet. The INTELLI.

pressed itself, that the proposed change
was wrong in principle, and In practice

Jacob sharp.

While motion for q change of venue
,.(6as pending in the New York courts in
the case Of the second trial Of jacob
Sharp, the defendant was granted the
motion and the messenger thereof was
death. His was q successful career with
IN ending most sad. Sprung from lowly
parentage and with no school advantages,
he fought, by his natural force Of charac-
ter, his way up the business ladder, until
he finally reached commanding position
In street railroad circles in New York.
Then in an ominous moment, he fixed
his ambition upon the Broadway Surface
railroad. He carried it through, but, like
Samson, pulled down the pillars of the
temple OF the peoples wrath upon him in
20 doing. There was wholesale bribery
and Sharp was shown 10 have had a
guilty connection Herewith. The means
employed to secure testimony against
Sharp we're sometimes most marvel
ous, and the newspapers Of the
metropolis made him the target for
their most pointed arrows Of journ-
alistic abuse. He was finally tried and
convicted and sentenced to four years
imprisonment and a flne Of 5000. The
court of appeals granted him new trial
last November, because Sharp's testi-
mony before the Senate committee in
1885 was admitted in his original trial, as
II was held, improperly.
His friends have been declaring for
some time that he was in dying condi-
ton, but his enemies as constantly as
serted that he was shamming. Death
has stepped in to say who were right.
The veil OF another world is thrown about
his life now, and he is entitled to charit-
able consideration from his critics, since
he is no longer able to speak for himself.
He was one Of that large class Of success
full men who believe that bribery to carry
point is necessary work, which ought
not to be described as all evil. He be-
lieved that the only way to secure the
project Of his life in the broadway Sur.
face road was to bribe, and believed that
the end justified the means. Hundreds
and thousands OF men have been acting
from the same motives all their lives
but to Jacob Sharp 1t fell to be the con.
spicuous exemplar of most depraved
system. Thus he became the scapegoa'
OF the sins Of his fellows, until bounded
by the newspapers, and made an object Of
public contempt, sick in body and mind
from the two years. siege, death threw
its mantle over him.
His career will for time have its les
son for those ambitious spirits who for
get honor and justice in their pursuit OF
gain ; but In little while his fate will
be forgotten and some new Jacob SharI
win rise to again point the moral of the
inherent weakness Of man in the face OF
temptation.

the demands OF the voters. And one
thing which especially recommends itself
to the remedial attention Of the mayor
and the police, is the practice, of incum.
bering the streets and sidewalks, that are
intended for locomo.ion, and which
should he impeded as little as pos
sible. Storekeepers incline TO obstruct
the sidewalks needlessly with their
goods; vehicles are permitted to
unduly occupy the streets; builders spread
their materials about unnecessarily; and
coal wagons have steady habit Of doing
Just as they find 1t most convenient for
them to do to unload. These latter are
especially aggressive in their impositions;
they drive bodily upon the sidewalk,
leaving no passage way; or thrust out
their chutes 80 that they cannot be
passed. There is reasonable allowance
to be made for needful obstruction Of the
sidewalk in delivering coal, but 1t can
always be done without making the way
wholly impossible; and this should be re-
Quired.
