PIGEONS IN N
A Pleasant Feature in the Streets OF tn,
Gay Austrian Capital.

Gay Austrian Capital.
Vienna, like Venice. is the homo OF
thousands of pigeons. belonging to nc
one in particular, but which every
body delights in and many people
feed. They are much more numerous
than sparrows, and, though not Of
choice breed, they are of various
colors, and are altogether a pleasing
feature in the streets. A little bread
put upon the window-sill every day
will attract a score of winged visitors.
They are quit tame, and will perch
willingly on the arm or shoulder Of
those who give them a little food.
They roost in hooks and round
the tops of houses and public build
ings, whore they also make their
nests Some officials connected
with the architectural department
of the corporation have suddenly
discovered that these public pets spoil
the appearance Of the two town mon.
uments The off cial report says hat
in some instances the finest plastic
beauties and architectural forms are
covered by a regular deposit Of guano.
On the other hand it is pointed out
that the vagrant pigeons are Of no use,
and therefore the authors Of the re-
port think they should be caught and
sent to the charity schools and hos.
pitfalls to be eaten. There are a few
pretty monuments in Venice, too. and
quite as many pigeons as in Vienna.
What would the Venetians say il any
body proposed wringing the necks Of
their winged friendsP The suggestion
Is sure to cause an cutlery among the
tender-hearted Viennese. who will
certainly not allow the poor birds to

TWENTY GOOD RULES.
How to Avoid ssBsd Luck" with Young
Trees and Orchards.

" W OWN Assh ~
Trees and Orchards.
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:
/. A valuable sort Is worth more
than merely a handsome tree.
2 Good healthy bracing roots are
Of more Importance than a symmet-
rical top.
s Tie roots should be long and
strong enough, and the top made light
enough. to obviate any shaking.
4. II the roots Of a tree are frozen,
and then thawed out of the ground or
in contact with the air. the tree will
be killed.
8 If frozen roots are thawed in COM
pactly-pressed mellow earth, the tree
may be made to live.
6 Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roats when setting
out q tree, but used for a mulch or
top-dressing.
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 settling of the earth.
s. Spread out the roots nearly
equally on all sides, so as TO brace the
tree we'll
g. Avoid particularly any small cavi-
ty next the roots, but fill compactly
against them on all sides with fine,
mellow earth.
10 Asmall, thrifty tree with copious
roots when set out, will be a good
bearing tree ooner than a large n
with mutilated roots. "
II. Watering in dry weather crusts
the surface, and does not reach the
roots
IL. Young trees should not be set in
a grass lot, OF among any crops OF
sowed grain; but the whole surface
kept clean and mellow.
Is. Shriveled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for
several days, compactly. with moist.
mellow earth.
IA. If newly set ones suffer from
drought, mulch the ground about
them, and frequently sprinkle or
shower the stems and branches.
Is. The roots extend as far from
the tree as its entire height; clean
and mellow cultivation should there
fore cover a circle twice as wide as Its
height.
16. As a general rule. cultivation
should be continued for six. eight or
ten years from planting, after which
closely-grazcd or lawn-mowed grass
may be permitted, with frequent top
dressing.
II. The, amount of manuring or top.
dressing must vary with the vigor Of
the trees; young trees should grow
two or three feet yearly. and bearing
ones one foot or more.
IS. Keep an eye to the mature shape
of the tree, and timely remove small.
needless. crossing or crooked limbs.
This will obviate heavy pruning in
after years.
10. Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor; but II done when grow
ing or in leaf, it checks growth; and
therefore a feeble tree should never be
pruned after growth commences III
the spring. But healthy. strong
growers may be lightly pruned al
either season.
90. Most of the 'bad luck" with
young trees and orchards is the result
of neglecting the preceding rules.

Asserted That Potatoes at 20
Cents Are Better Than Wheat
at ST.
The Moro Times does not think much
of wheat for that section. 1t says:
''The grain crop of Kanabec county
is harvested, and we are sorry to say
that it is not up to the average. The
wheat and barley was pretty much de-
stroyed by chinch bugs; oats are fair
crop. The corn is injured by frosts,
but is as good as it ever has
been in this latitude, none but the
early varieties hardly ever ripens here.
Potatoes are about the only crop that
promises big yield, and with few
cabbages, onions and turnips, are the
be surplus to market, and which
will find ready sale, as they al
ways have, within the county. Ex-
perience in the past few years in farm
ing should impress upon those engaged
In that industry the Importance of a
slight change in their modus operandi,
to some extent, by diversifying
their crops. This is not and
cannot be a wheat raising locality
to any commanding extent for
a good many years to come, and we
believe it would be more profitable
for our small farmers to abandon
wheat raising altogether, and plant
their ground to things for which there
would be more demand at home and
abroad. Potatoes at 20 cents buShel
are better than wheat at 81,
and require less expensive machinery
to handle them. There is always
good demand for turnips, onions and
cabbage at our numbering camps every
fall, at paying prices. If there is a
surplus of these products it will find
a market in the cities. Onions yield
largely and now command so cents
bushel in st. Paul. If the farmers of
Kanabec county would plant more ex-
tensively of these things the time would
soon come when they would find buy
ers coming right to their homes and,
paying good prices for all they had to
spare. Then, as we have often
stated before, a at steer. hog
a colt and other stock to sell in the fall
are items of no small Importance, and
all of which help to put money in your
