HOW To PLANT TREES.

Successful tree planting embraces
the rational consideration of two dis
tinct items, essential to success in re.
moving a tree from one spot to all
other. These are the nature of the
tree itself and the soil in which it is tn
grow and prosper. The tree is fastened
to the earth by system of roots,
which have penetrated the ground in
all directions, forming an unseen net
work of rootlets, through which the
moisture of the earth, bearing in minute
solution the ingredients Indispensable
to plant life. The contact of roots
and ground is firm and strong, enabling
the tree to withstand the trying in
fluences ofthe surrounding atmosphere,
whether heated sunshine or howl
ing wind.
Remove tree from this normal con-
dition, its physical relation to the
ground is severed, loss of roots is
sustained, and its chance of future
life is sorely dependent on the speedy
restoration of the same physical condi-
tions. This explains why SO many
newly planted trees are doomed 10
perish, if no regard is paid to these in
dispensable conditions.
1t can readily be understood how
important it is to save the roots that
accident has left to the tree from being
bruised, dried up or frozen out. 1t
will likewise be seen at a glance that
the contact of soil and roots must be
restored as far as possible to its former
condition. No item, however, is more
generally disregarded in tree planting
than the rational necessity of setting
the ground as tightly around the roots
as possible. From this cause arise the
greatest majority of failures. The
earth is shoveled loosely around the
tree, trampled a little with the toe end
of the shoe, and the air can penetrate
in all directions where the roots should
he Theoretically sealed to the ground.
A copious rain after planting, satu.
rating the earth with water, will do
the work neglected by the planter.
If this timely rain fails to materializc,
hen the tree must necessarily suffer
often die. We say, therefore, set your
trees firmly and tightly into the ground,
pack the soil with your heel, stick or
FOUNDER. If the weather sets in dry
after planting, repeat the pounding
around the tree, to expel, as far as pos
sible, the dry air, which otherwise will
penetrate into the soil.
Tight planting is the only safety to
success in planting Of evergreen trees,
more so by far than with leatless trees.
10 the evergreen the interaction ofsap
and leaves is constant, while in decid-
uous trees it is suspended to the great
est extent at planting time. Set your
evergreens as tightly as you do your
fence posts do not depend on your
boots to do this work, but take a regu-
lar FOUNDER. If the ground is dry,
pour in sufficient of water to puddle
the ground around the roots, and in
day or two do. the pounding by hand
and stick. Where no water can be
had in sufficient quantity, make up the
difference by so much more pounding.

Do NOT TAKE THE BABY's HAND

nothing Of the arms, is dragged along

the child with its tiny feet and legs to
keep up with the pace of the parents
or nurse, who never realize how many
steps the little feet have to take to
their one. Let any grown person see
how long he could walk with bis arms
raised higher than his head, without
hurrying, and then let him try being
dragged along at full speed by some
giant, four times his own size. | am
afraid few could endure the strain
more than few minutes. And yet l
daily see mothers scolding their little
children for crying at being dragged
long distances in this barbarous man
n,r. Children who can walk at all
should he allowed to walk alone or
holding the hand of some other child
near their own size. 1t is better for
them in every way, and will save
many a crying fit caused by over
strain of the nerves and muscles.-EX.
