According 20 q special from Muncio,

natural gus fields, the number Of chance
discoveries has just been added to by
one which will DO OF immense impor.
lance in tho industrial world. Tho story
h that u fow days ago a service Pipe
line OF natural gas had frozen near Mil
Grove. To remedy the stoppago a joint
OF the pipe was detached. II was found
that the joint was filled with ice, and
ono Of tho workmen pounded tho pipo
and cylinder Of leo about foot long
came out. ono Of tho worllnen said
Jestingly, "Well, there's some leo which
ought 10 burn
Some one then suggested that fire DO
applied 20 the leo. The ice caught fire
and burned like torch, SO thoroughly
was 1t imprognated with the natural
gas. Tho burning gas furnished heat to
melt the ice, and asst melted it liberated
the gas, which burned rs iierccly as II II
had been coming out OF pipe,
All present were amazed ut the pho.
nomenon, and It was at once suggested
that tho discovery might provo Of inn
menso value by rendering it possible to
freeze natural gas into blocks which
could he sent out for use as fuel It
seems that the congealing had taken
place under pressure Of 800 pounds 10

consequence is, the Webfoot ranchers
can sell eggs in Mineral for two bits a

ranchers can sell eggs in Weiser for
fifteen cents q dozen. Although they
have good ranches and good mines
over there, they somehow don't know
how to run the machine. They are

1t Is not unusual to hear people
say that they cannot understand why
trees die under transplanting, con.
sidering that they give the planting
the very best of care. What is con-
sidered the very best Of care is often
very bad care. 1t is amazing to see
the careful planter without experience
occasionally on his knees pressing
the earth in around the roots with
his fingers, for fear of crushing the
fibers. 1t is impossible to get the
earth properly packed around the
roots in this way. In nurseries,
where it is presumable planting is
thoroughly understood, man stands
with rammer while one is putting in
the earth, and hammers the earth in
as tightly as though he was hammer
ing in post This packs the earth
In more tightly than can be done by
either feet or hands. Some are
afraid of crushing the roots with his
hammering process, but with the
pressure all around, the force is
directed towards the roots, and not
away from them. 1t is not necessary,
however, to go into reasons, as the
universal experience Of the nursery
is in favor of hammering in the earth
as represented. This is the essence
of good planting, and any other plant
ing is decidedly bad Trees properly
planted need no stalking. The fac
that trees needs stalking is a proof
that it was not properly planted.
