ally made of limbs and the top of the
trunk is, to my mind, very foolish
proceeding. A much better plan is to
exercise more care and effort in taking
up the tree, taking up big bunch Of
the earth with the fine roots undis-
turbed. 1t is the fine rootlets that
feed the tree, and it is the loss of these
that so often causes the tree to die after
transplanting. The forcible removal
of tree from the ground is almost
sure to tear off all these rootlets. 1t
is best to begin some distance out from
the tree, and to cut the turf carefully
around it, digging down with caution
so as not to cut Off any important
roots. When these are found they
should be carefully followed out
for considerable distance and loos-
ened from the soil. The most i'm
portant care, however, is in getting
up big ball of earth with the tree,
and this is accomplished by digging
down about and under the tree. This
requires some work, but if a tree is
worth transplanting it is worth while to
make some effort to give tia good start
in its new location. The accompany
ing illustration shows most conven-
lent way to handle tree after it has
been properly dug about. A pair Of
wheels. with tongue" has piece of
Joist dashed beneath it. The end of the
tongue, or pole, is then raised high in
the air and the end of the joist attached
TO chain that has been passed be-
meath the tree in two or more direc-
tons. When the pole is brought down,
the tree is raised from it's position and
can be gently bent forward to the axle,
secured there, and carried off to its
new location.
Before being taken away, however,
1t will be well to wrap the ball of
earth in old burlap to keep the
earth from shaking off and disturbing
the small roots Carried away with
wheels after this fashion, the tree can
be carefully dropped into the cavity
provided for it with the least possible
Earring After the loose earth has
been carefully packed in about all the
exposed roots, a generous coat of mulch
should be applied, and some pruning Of
the top made, but not severe pruning,
by any means. Whatever wood is re-
moved should be in the line of giving
che tree well proportional head.
Transplanted in this way trees ought
to live and grow thriftily, and my ex-
perience has been that they will do SO.

ground. may answer for a small plot OF
berries, but for larger area the plan
suggested in the accompanying illus
tration will be found more serviceable.
Between every second row of plants is
laid, few inches below the surface, a
row of drain tiles, the first one in each
row coming to the surface. With a
hose each row of tile can be flied in a
moment. and the water will be alb.
sorbed by the earth and reach the
roots of the plants as needed, and
there will be no baking of the surface
soil. If desired the first row of tile
could be extended around through the
various rows and the whole filled from
one point. A modification of this idea
is used with many other crops.-Amer.

NEW GRAPE DISEASE.
1t Leads to the Unaccountable Failing OF
of Berries.

1t Leads to the Unaccountable Falling on
of Berries. -
What is called by some a new disease
was developed in the Lake Erie grape
region of western New York last year.
1t is the unaccountable falling off OF
berries before or as soon as they have
attained their full size. Profs Bailey
and Lodeman, of Cornell university,
have investigated the matter at length.
Dry weather at the critical time seems
to have been the chief cause, though
this was made more injurious by lack
Of potash. 1t is well known that vines
require q large amount of potash in
ripening their fruit. If potash is de-
fcient and wet weather follows, the
grape mildews or rots. If there is too
little moisture for mildew the berries
drop from their cluster. In some vine
yards last year the loss by Smelling was
fifty per cent. of the crop; in others it
was not more than five per cent The
dropping of the berries came on late in
August and early in September. Vines
which she'll their grapes almost in
variably have leaf blight, brown
patches appearing on the leaves. AS
the grape is nourished through the
leaves the dropping of the berries from
the cluster was an indication that the
vine had undertaken bigger job than
1t could finish. Even those grapes
which remained on vines where the
Smelling was worst were of poor quail
ity, though they grew to full size.

ing Ship.
Many years ago, according to one of
the yarns of the sea told by mariners
who claimed to have been present. a
British ship having on board a large
consignment of Spanish dollars for
house in Rio Jaheiro was wrecked on
the Brazilian coast. Hoping to save
some of his precious cargo the captain
ordered some of the casks containing
the gold brought ON deck, but the YES
sci was so badly wrecked by the con-
tinuous pounding on the rocks, that it
was soon found necessary to take to
the boats without any of the treasure
AS the last boat was about to leave the
Inflated craft, one of the officers, to
make sure that no one was left on
board, went back to make last tour
of the ship. To his surprise, sitting
beside one of the casks with Ratchet
in his hand, he found one of the
sailors.
Hurry up!" cried the officer. eve
came within an ace of going off with
out you
I'm not going" replied the sailor,
giving the cask a hearty whack with
the Ratchet, bursting it open, and
laughing with delight as the coin
poured out around him. I've always
wanted to die rich. I've been poor all
my life, and this is my first and last
chance Go ahead. I'll stay here with
my fortune"
Argue as he might, the officer could
not persuade the fellow to leave the
gold with which he played as child
with marbles, and he finally had to
leave him to his fate.-Harper's Young

How to Handle Them After They Havs
Been Properly Dug About.
From the fact that so many trans
planted trees either die outright O.
drag along a misera BILE existence for a
year or two, it would appear that there
is widespread misconception as to
the proper care to be exercised in trans.
planting. 1t is common practice to
tear tree up somewhat roughly,
breaking off the fine roots that are the
most needed by the tree, and cutting
off the big roots, because it is too much
work to follow them out to their tips
and then to attempt to equalize
matters by savagely cutting off the
branches, leaving little but the stem
of the tree, and even that usually has it
stop cut off! This seems to me consider
ably like taking out one of mans
lungs because his supply of air is to be
cut off presently A judicious pruning
of transplante6 tree is all right and
proper, but such slaughter as is usu-

school supplies Independently from the
other articles needed in the various CITY

for them, with the understanding that
the bids should be for the things speol-
fed and that there should be no lmpileu
obligation TO purchase from the hrm 10
whom the contract was awarded any
thing during the year not specified IN the
schedule submitted With this stlpula-
tion bids were submitted by Loring,
Short 81 Harmon, Thomas b. Mosher,
Stevens & Jones Company and Hall l..
Davis. The lowest hid was received
from Hall L. Davis, who was only a
trife under the Stevens & Jones Compa
ny. The contract was awarded to Mr..
Davis for trile less than $500. Last
year the city paid Thomas B. Moshe1 for
substantially the same supplies S5S2.
Thus there will be a saving of S1S2 this
year over last year. The figures obtained
this year are reasonable prices, about
what the same artie les could be bought
for at wholesale in Boston. II any sup
