TREES AND PLANTING

Seven valao6lo 0ageoottoa0 BY IN EnS'
seat Authority.
After being well planted, trees in q
northern climate should have the earth
around them stirred quite often in the
early summer months, and occasionally
through the entire summer. They
should also be mulched with green
weeds, half rotten straw, or any sub
stance which viii retain moisture. A
friend of Robert w. Furnas having
purchased . variety of trees for a park,
asked for instructions in regard to their
planting and after-care. He replied by
telling him: 1. Do not expose the roots
of any tree to q warm or cold drying
wind: let them stay packed with damp
straw in your wagon, taking them out
rs wanted. and planting one at time.
9. Do not crowd your trees into small.
deep holes, but provide for each one a
hole large enough to take in the roots
in their natural position, and with some
room to spare. 3. If the soil is thin
and poor, p!ow or dig out at least ten
inches Of the clay sub-soil and fill MP
with good, black surface soil from
under q tough sod; or take sod and all
and chop up with a spade in the bot
tom of the hole, thus making n rich
bed of good, black dirt to set the
tree on. and 50 to work in and cover
the roots. 4. Bear in mind thas
if the place where you want to plant
your tree is not favorable to growth
that now is the time to make 1t so-not
after two or three fruitless attempts
and failures. s Remember that a
tree will be sure to starve and die with
out plant food and moisture. and that
this can not be found in or contained by
. hard, tough, clayey subsoil. g..
Keep in mind the fact that most trees
do not require to be planted ON prairie
soil deeper than three or four inches,
but a mound of good soil corresponding
to the size of the tree and hole should
be built up three or four inches higher
than the surrounding surface. 4.
Cultivate often with horsepower where
It is possible, leaving the ground smooth
and even to assist in retaining moisture.
After July LIST mulch freely with green
weeds or half-rotten straw, or cover
with . fiat rock, or any substance which
will retain moisture in a dry season.
Water thoroughly once a week through
August, or until rain comes to your re-
lief. You will find in tree-planting. as
in nearly every thing else, that work
thoroughly done is the most satisfactory
and profitable. Never use spade to
dig holes for planting trees where a
plow can be employed.-Western Eural.

RABBIT TRAPPING.

Cut Out This Article and save 1t for Your
Boys.
How many boys long to catch the
rabbits whose tracks they see in the
light snow as they 60 to school or when
going across lots to feed at the stack or
chop in the woods. All through the
winter months these rabbits-or more
properly, hares-make delicious dishes.
They increase in number rapidly and
should be on the farmers table or sent
to market at least once each week. A
quickly-made trap is the cask pitfall
illustrated. A barrel or half barrel will
make two il sawn in halves Each head
must of course bc securely fastened in
place. Then for the open end make
another head and cleat it firmly so it
will not split apart. This head must
be o quarter of an inch smaller, all
around, than the barrel. and must be
hung on two heavy wire nails put
through gimlet holes in the sides Of the
barrel 1t must not balance, but must

How to Keep the Farm Clear Of ObRs
ious Plant GrOWths.

How 70 Keep the Farm Clear oS ObRox-
ious Plant GrOwths.
Ono important point in keeping z
farm clear from weeds is to see that
these germs are not imported in pur-
chased seeds. Weeds arc often intro
duced by the farmers own animals.
stables, and cattle that have been al
lowed to forage on the highways. may
each be the means of bringing o6nOx-
ious weeds onto the farm. For the
hoed crops clean cultivation is the an
tidOte. Cut the weeds off at the sur
face of the ground ut a time when they
arc at their best. that is at the time q
towering. and before the seed has
grown sufficient to terminate. This is
the best method of dealing with seeds
where they have become pest In
meadows and pastures. In the latter
sheep are very efficient weed destroy
ers, as they will browse closely many
varieties that cattle will not touch.
In some countries it is said there are
fields entirely free from weeds, owing
20 very high cultivation and careful Sc
.ection of seeds and manures. Such re-
suits are not to be expected in this
country, and we shall continue to have
weeds as heretofore, but they can be
kept in such subsection as to redace
their injurious effects to a minimum.
Where they serve no better use. they 1t

A Point in Pig Feeding.

The cost of feeding pigs before and
after weaving has been compared by
the Wisconsin experiment station and
the results appeared in their annual re-
port for 1890. Corn meal. skim milk
and shorts were the feeds that gave the
best results and the figures show that
the pigs made q more economical
growth when fed through the SOW.
This being true, it is short-sighted pol
icy to starve the dam with the idea that
her pigs will nay better for feed after
weaving. The sow should be fed as
heavily as possible without endanger-
ing her young and at the same time the
pigs should be early taught 70 eat in a
trough by themselves and should also
b fed all they will consume. Compar-
ins the results obtained before and aft
er weaving with those from older ami
mails, it was found that the best gain
for . given amount of food was given
with the younger animals. To obtain
the best results with given amount OF
feed, pigs should be crowded from the
day they are born. feeding the sow
