PLANTING TREES.
Twenty Rules to be Observed to Insure
.... Success. .tH.. I'D. H ODD


Twenty Rules to be Observed to Insure
ra .us ri Success. .t4. Y. ~ ODD
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 USE
full:
l. A valuable sort is worth more than
merely handsome tree, 0 rIEf
2. Good, healthy, bracing roots are
of more Importance than symmetrical
top.
8. The roots should be long and
strong enough, and the top made light
enough. to obviate any stalking.
4. If the roots of tree are frozen,
and then thawed out of the ground or
in contact with the air, the tree will
be killed.
5. If frozen roots are thawed in COM
pactly-pressed mellow earth, the tree
may be made to live.
9. Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roots when setting
out the tree, but used for n 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
well.
o. Avoid particularly any small cav
ity next to the roots, but fill compactly
against them on all sides with fine
mellow earth.
TO- A small, thrifty tree with copious
roots when set out will be good bear
ing tree sooner than large one with
mutilated roots. N"'N
IL. Watering in dry weather crusts
the surface and does not reach the
roots.
~. Young trees should not be set in
grass lot or among any crops of
sowed grain; but the whole surface
kept clean and mellow.
10. Shriveled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for
several days, compacity, with moist,
mellow earth 4If "a. g llttg
IA. If newly set ones suffer from
drought mulch the ground about
them, and frequently sprinkle of
shower the stems and branches.
IS. The roots extend as far from the
tree as its entire height; clean and
mellow cultivation should therefore
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 grazed or lawn-mowed grass
may be permitted with frequent top
dressing.
II. The amount OF manuring or top
dressing must vary with the vigor oil
the tree; young trees should grow two
or three-feet yearly, and bearing one;
one foot or more.
IS. Keep an eye to the future shape
Of the tree, and timely remove small
needless, crossing or crooked limbs

FOREIGN MILITARY NOTES.

SENEGAL, French Soudan, French
Guinea and the Ivory Coast are to be
united for political and military pur-
poses under the governor general of
West Africa. I.lf una W

by Robin, to Eustache de st. Pierre and
the five other burghcrs who defended
the town against Edward III. of Eng
land, and gave themselves up to be
hanged to save their townsmen when 1t
surrendered.
TRIALS with an aluminium torpedo
tube on board the British torpedo boat
Scourgo have proved very successful,
and the tubes are to be tried now on
one Of the destroyers. They require
far less attention than the steel tubes,
aud are, of course, much lighter.
FRANCE is going to build at once two
large cruisers of great power and speed,
capable of competing with the British
Terrible and our Columbia, and OF over
taking the fast Atlantic liners. They
will have minimum contract speed Of
twenty-three knots, and must steam
1900 knots at twelve knots an hour
without recoalipg.
CHANGES in the system Of supplying
ammunition to the French infantry
have been made. Each man may carry
1870 rounds, instead Of 1902, on his per-
son, and just before action is supplied
with 65 rounds from the company carts,
90 more rounds being kept in reserve.
The corps park wagons provide 8oS
rounds per man instead of 251; these
are distributed to the company wagons
as fast as they are emptied.

Directions for Making n Swing Hammock
4s for the Baby's Use. u.sr
Denim is constantly invading new
fields and taking fresh uses. It's last
is as the constructing fabricof child's
hammock. Two yards of denim of
brownish tone were purchased and
pattern one and one-quarter yards long
by twenty-seven inches wide was cut
out Of newspaper as a preliminary
step toward making the hammock.
Then the denim was folded length
wise and crosswise, SO as to quarter it
and find It's center, and this was mark
ed with pin thrust through it, after
which the paper pattern was
folded in the same way, the
center found, and laid over the spread
out denim so that the two materials
would be exactly conferred together
lengthwise with each other This left
strip of denim uncovered on each
side of the paper pattern four and one
half inches wide, while the ends were
completely uncovered. A pencil line
was then drawn so as to continue the
Blues Vi blt dchllh III WV lohB
from end to end, making the strips two
yards long by four and one-half inches
wide. Inside of these strips was left
at each end an untouched piece OF
| denim little more than thirteen
inches long by twenty seven inches
wide as the cloth runs. These long
side strips must not be cut, as they
make the swing pieces for the ham,
mock, but the end blocks are cut out
along the pencil line as far as the pa
per and across the end of the paper, SO
as to make huge capital II of the
denim. You must next cut one little
slit an inch deep into the extreme
corners of the bar of the II along
the pencil line, so as to enable
you to run up a hem on the top
and bottom of the bar. After finishing
this, fold the long side strips length
wise and run them up smooth, so as
to make of them two long straps at
tached to the crossbar of the H. Now
you must take a pillow, lay it down
on the denim, as you would If the
hammock were in use as bed, and
lay V plait in each side of the cross
bar to bunch it into a pocket or vessel
shape. Plat until you get the ar
rangement you wish; stick in a few
pins and double stitch through the v
plat along its edges. You will now
have the hammock shaped, and the
next step is to run piece of the waste
denim across each end all of the width
as a stay to prevent the side strips
from pulling off. "N' fH
After placing the stays on the ends,
the side straps may be firmly sewed
together to make hanging loops, to
which light line may be added al
pleasure when needed. If the pillow
and bedding will not keep apart, light
round sticks may be inserted any.

Keen Dncklings DRY.

1t is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. 1t is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allowed to have
access thereto, but this due to the fact
that most of the ducklings are Matched
with incubators during the winter sea-
son, when the cold waters Of the pond
would chill them and cause loss.
Young ducks will thrive better If they
are kept away from the ponds until
they are well featbered; but despite
all claims in favor of the Peliin duck
as being adapted to dry locations, my
experience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a
pond. Like all aquatic birds, they en-

A Vital Ouestion.

How. to get most profit from our i'm
mense crop of corn is now vital qucs-
ton with Texas farmers. No matter
how high the price may be, selling it
straight will not give the greatest
profit. The man who buys it must
have profit also He divides the profit
with the farmer. but not in the middle.
The farmer in the transaction will get
the smaller pile every time. Togct the
most profit from crop it must be all
utilized-the fodder and the huslss, as
well as the grain. If, in addition to
the farmers profit In producing the
crop he can add the feeders profit, he
will be going at it right. To do this
he must buy cattle or hogs if he has
neglected to raise them. or If he
has not raised enough, let HIM
buy steer or two, or enough to make
a car load; or the same with hogs. But
in doing this he must exercise judg-
ment. Some steers and some hogs are
not worth buying. Get stock that will
know what to do with food when they
get it-that can cat it at profit. No
man can feed cattle or hogs as profita-
bly, as the farmer who grows the feed,
because there is the pasture that would
otherwise be wasted, and there are
odds and ends that may be consumed
at home that could not be sold. When
farmers turn their attention to the con-
sumption as well as the production OF
stock food, they will begin to reap the
legitimate profits of their business. =

FODDER CORN.
IL Used to Fill u siio 1t Means Increased
Proht to tho Farmer.

IL Used to Fill n siio 1t Means Increased
Profit to tho Farmer.
Fodder corn, either to be cut up and
stored in silo, or to be cured and fed
dry, has become n regular crop with
many farmers The latest conclusions
drawn from their practical experience,
and from carefully-conducted expert
ments made at some of the ogricul-
tural experiment stations, are that the
best results can usually be obtained
by planting good variety of common
field corn, drilling in rows from three
to four feet apart, the grains being
dropped about six inches apart, Guilt
waiting II thoroughly and cutting 1t
up when the plant and ear are fully
developed and the grains are glazing.
Heretofore 1t has been generally
recommended Co plant for ensilage
the large-growing southern varieties
OF corn, on account of the very large
amount of fodder they produce But 1t
has been demonstrated that the Or
binary varieties of dent corn are usu-
ally as valuable, II not superior.
While they may not produce much
more than half the bulk of fodder
produced by the mammoth varieties,
their nutritve value is much higher,
they mature earlier in the season, and
the labor OF handling the crop is much
less, so that in the end they are just as
profitable to raise.
Let every farmer who has been
thinking about building silo, and is
yet undecided, go ahead and plant the
crop intended for ensilage, and Z,
later on he decides not build a silo,
he can use the crop to good advantage
in the form OF cured fodder corn.
From the great and increasing inter
est manifested on the subject during
the past few months It is reasonable to
estimate that the number of silos in the
Ohio valley will be doubled the coming
season. tf...
The silo means a decided change in
our present system of agriculture. 1t
means more live stock on the farm, and
cheaper meat and dairy products 1t
means a less acreage of grain, but a
higher yield per acre from increased
fertility of the soil. 1t means increased
profits to the farm by lowering the cost
of production. The silo is good

to give him a welcome. During the
absence of her husband she had made
her house the center of brilliant So

was untiring in its devotion to Bona

him at home, plotting in his behalf
abroad, turning every political Incl

up strong party which believed that
he was the only possible savior OF
