The most painful cases of rheuma-

continued use will cure any case, no
matter of how long standing. It is
equally beneficial for lame back, pain

any plaster. For sale by Nick Nc

his horses in the coolie, near p. Perius;
the other day. The road was appar-
emily all right but he had not proceed

the snow and ice and were only got out

The oldest settler in this vicinity
does not remember seeing the water
in the Little Pembiua as high as it was
this spring. No particular damage
was done as those living on it's banks
took precautions to have everything
high and dry before the water rose.
No one in this neighborhood ap-
pears to have had as much misfortune
lately as Henry Witzel. During the
last two weeks he has lost pig, valu-
able calf and a young colt. This is a
severe loss to anyone, but to a man
who takes such pride in his stock as
Henry does it is unusually severe.
81. Koehmstedt is going to plant
his tree claim this summer and will
improve the place generally with set

Rules For Planting Trees.

Select good stock from the nursery
men or from the native forest or cult
waited groves of our state. Let the ex-
cavations be amply wide and deep that
the roots may have plenty of room.
Fill to proper depth with surface soil
of fertilizing or plant producing quail
ties. Trim up or cut smooth all rough
and broken parts of the roots and limbs
If the top is to heavy or out of proper
ton to the roots, cut down the super
abundance, whether of top or limbs,
for nature always demands a balance
between the extent or fulness of growth
and vital forces below and above the
ground. Now, place your tree in the
opening and cover the roots by Sitting
fine, mellow, rich and moist soil and
firm with the foot by a gentle pressure,
so the earth may come in close con-
tact with all parts of the roots and
tiny rootlets. Over the filling scatter
more dirt impressed, leaving the tree
full as deep or triae deeper in the
soil as when removed from it's original
setting. If circumstances will allow it
is well to surround the tree with a
litter or mulch of old partly decayed
hay, straw, chips, manure or leaves.
IF the soil seems to dry at time OF
planting, then throw on one or two
pailsful of water, not to cold, around
the tree, using enough to give the soil
good fair wetting. After this watch
and protect the tree and cultivate
when necessary. Should dry weather
prevail, from time to time, say once in
three or four weeks, give the thirsty
soil a good wetting down. Experience
seems to prove that this is much better
than frequent sprinkling. A few trees
well set and properly titled are far bet
ter than many poorly managed, fol
often the latter soon die whilst the
former grow, thrive and endure.
