snappy way of writing it up soon gained
him promotion to the city editorship. He

efforts added to the prestige and material

When Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer took hold OF
the New York World, he invited Colonel
Cockerill to assume the duties of 1nanag

achieved by The World under the manage

There is little objection to putting
the hen manure directly ON the garden
to be plowed or spaded under in the
spring. One advantage in keeping this
manure over winter is that when thor
oughly dried out il may be crushed or
ground and used with muriate Of potash
and ground bone to make good ferti-
lizer This dried manure makes an ex-
cellent "filler" for home mixed fer
tilizer. The carbonate of lime should
not be used on fresh hen manure IL you
wish to retain its value. This form Of
lime liberates the ammonia by permit
ting it to pass into a volatile form.
Land plaster, or sulphate of lime, will
"sweeten" the house and preserve the
manure much better than the cline. :"

Close Root Pruning.


The new method Of close root pruning
is exactly the reverse of the old idea Of
transplanting-namely, taking up tree
with its roots entire. II. M. Stringfel-
low, near Galveston, is the pioneer in
heralding this new method, which q
number of equally successful horticul-
turists in the south approve and prao-
tice. Briefly stated, the new method is
as follows: Hold tree, top down. and
cut back to about one inch. This cut
will face down when tree is set Leave
only from one to three feet Of top. Let
all shoots grow. When one foot in
length, rub off all that are not needed
for symmetrical top.
The Pacific Rural Press, commenting
on this new method, says: 1--WE are
aware that the system has been follow
ed to some extent by some planters upon
the moist soil in the neighborhood Of
Visalia. 1t is our Judgment that under
favorable conditions for roofing, such as
retention Of moisture near the surface,
the results described by Mr.. Stringfel-
low would be attainable, so far as suc-
cessful striking Of roots from the fresh
ly cut stubs goes. We are also quite as
sured that under the conditions sur
rounding many Of our newly planted
trees in California large proportion of
them would die. Our observation is
that too much Importance has been at
tached to the retention Of fbrous roots,
but we should want to cut our roots
longer than hedges for the same reason
that in the drier parts Of this state we
use longer cutting and plant seeds deep
er than is desirable in moist summer
climates. /"
