TRAINING HEDGES.
a New Method That Is Meeting with Favor
and Success.

ana SUCCESS
Nothing is more attractive around a
place than a well-kept hedge. But
there is no beauty in hedge row un-
slightly and untrimmed, with part of it
dead, other parts tall and ungainly. A
new method of training hedges is meet
ing with favor and success in some
parts of the country. The first step is
to plow and manure the strip ground
heavily where the hedge is to be
planted. Usage orange sprouts of a
years growth are then planted eight
inches apart, and the ground kept mel
low and free from weeds the first sea.
son. The next year the sprouts are
braided on a fiat sinuous iron fencing
rod stretched horizontally about six
inches from the ground. The next
growth of sprouts of course grows
straight up, and the second season an
other of the rods is fastened in the
same way, and likewise the third. A
hedge of this kind was planted three
years ago in this place and now is com
plete, and a more beautiful fence would
be hard TO find. The growth is from
the ground, and is compact cleag to the
top, and no animal can get through it
or over it. 1t is wide at the base and
slopes upward. An old hedge row run
ming along the highway was cut down
close to the ground, and the following
season when the sprouts came up they
were braided as described above. The
sprouts from this old hedge grew seven
| feet in one season, OF course making
from the large mass of roots much
more rapid growth than those from the
young cuttings and producing neat
and attractive appearance --Amencan

fires. Previous to this time mariners
were warned at night of their approach
to land by coal or wood fires that were
built on prominent headlands. The

How the Submarine Product First Came
to be Used.
The masses of amber thrown by every
storm on the strands of Jutland and
Scania, although neglected by the first
settlers upon them, attracted the eager
attention of their building
successors. The submarine product
cast at their feet by the waves served
not only for the adornment of their
persons, living and dead, but for their
protection against supposed malefic
influences, and, gradually becoming
known to distant peoples, was bartered,
in the growing trade centres of the
south, for objects fraught with the sig
nifcance of a new era.
The traffic assumed large proportions.
To the diffusion of the fossil gum of
Jutland from Liguria to Thrace cor
responds an equal surprising plenty of
bronze and gold in Scandinavia, where,
too, finds of wrought amber and of the
objects purchased with it suggests a
reciprocal relation, scarcity of the first
attending on plentifulness of the second.
