About Tree Planting.

The wrong way to plant a tree is to
dig hole in bluegrass sod much smaller
than the roots, shove them into the hole,
and when the latter proves too small
lump on the roots with both feet and
Jam them into it, turning the sod bottom
upward on the roots. This is sometimes
done by those who ought to know better.
The right way is to enlarge the hole
so as to admit roots without bending
and to a depth sufficient to plant the
tree one inch deeper than it stood in the
nursery Then slightly fill with good
surface SOIL making a cone in the center
uponwhich the tree will stand. Brushed
or broken roots cut back to where
sound. using a sharp knife and being
careful to slope from the under side-so
the cut surface will face downward.
Place the tree in hole with the side
having the lowest and heaviest branches
toward the southwest, also lean body of
tree towards the two o'clock sun. Lean
the tree slightly; the north side of the
tree grows faster, hence SO many trees
incline away from the sun, with conse-
quent injury to the trunks from sun
scald, flathead borers, etc.
Set the tree on the cone, spread the
roots evenly in all directions, pushing
the ends downwards. They then act as
braces to hold the tree firm. Don't let
roots be hattened out, nor. worst of all,
have their ends bent upward. Never
bend roots rather cut them back some
what if very long. Silt the fine dirt
over the roots and at the same time
gently move the tree up and down, that
the dirt may be worked in among the
roots. When they are covered to the
depth of two or three inches use hammer
or step down into the hole and firm the
dirt with the feet from that time until
the hole is filed within an inch of the
top, when the hrmed earth should be
covered with two inches OF loose soil to
prevent evaporation.
Plant when the soil will powder, not
paste. If very dry, water should be
poured into the hole after roots have
been covered three inches with fine soil,
then, after hole is nearly filled, finish
frming. Watering is seldom necessary
in spring setting, except in late planting.
Puddle roots before planting, always.
A half barrel partly filed with water
with enough loan soil in it to make it
thick is good puddle or dig hole in
the ground. Pudding should be done
Immediately before planting and not
allowed to become dry on the roots.
In the spring, as soon as frost is out,
go over all fall-planted trees and tramp
or pound the earth solid, for the frost
will have loosened and drawn your trees,
and if left they may die.-Fruit Growers

FARM, GARDEN and
HOUSEHOLD.
Scientific Shoeing.

The kind Of shoe necessary will de-
pend upon the character of the work
required OF the horse A draft horse
will require-a heavier shoe than driving
or farm horse, yet the shoe should
be as light as is consistent with the
work required. The following calculation
hom Russells Scientific Horscshoeing
is ilsturaiive of the exertion required OF
the horse to carry unnecessarily heavy
shoes Suppose horses shoe weighing
two pounds each, and travelling at such
a Jog as requires him to lift his feet all
around once in a secopd or sixty times
minute, keeps up his speed for five hours,
how much work does he performed, or
how much does he lift
In one minute he would lift $50
pounds, and in one hour he would lift
Is. 500 pounds in five honrs G44, 900
pounds, or = tons.
1t NAV be stated that a shoe weigh
ing from sixteen to twenty ounces Is
heavy enough for the average draft
horse In summer time shoes without
caks are sufficient, and. in fact, prefer
able. A shoe beveled from the outer
edge inward will give the horse a firm
foolhold and prevent slipping on muddy
roads. In winter time. however, it
often becomes necessary to use calks,
which should all be OF an even hight to
insure the animal a perfectly level beat
ing The toe calk should be broad and
if set a little back of the toe Of the shoe
will come nearer under the centre of
gravity and enable the horse to get over
the toe With greater case. T. Allsg,

That "Lovely" Word House
keeper"

81 am glad you have discovered how
much that is lovely as well as useful that
word housekeeper means. The mere
providing of beds, meals, etc, is very
small part of the work. The home
making, the comfort, the sympathy, the
grace and atmosphere that true woman
can provide is the noble part, and EN-
braces all that is helpful for soul as vel
as body. wish our girls would see this
and set about being the true housekeepers
Mrs. Ripley used to rock her baby's
cradle, shell peas, or sew, and fit class
of young men for college at the same

MRS. FRANK LOCKE's DEATH.

The report Of the death of Mrs.
Frank Locke Monday morning was a
sad surprise to her many friends in the
city. Her sickness was of short dura-
ton, proceeding from cold taken a
few weeks ago and not until Saturday
was her ailment considered dangerous.
She died at five o'clock. Mrs. Locke,
whose name was Mary Bird Foote,
was born in Ionia. She was the daugh-
ter OF G.. b. Foote of this city. Her
marriage TO Mr.. Locke was blessed by
the birth of two children, Charley and
Harold, now aged three and six years.
Much sympathy Is felt for Mr.. Locke,
who also lost his first wife and three
children.
The funeral services, which were
largely attended, were held in the
Congregational church, with which So
ciety she affiliated. At her request
the remains are buried in Green's GEM
etery by the side of a brother. The
order of Modern Woodmen attended in
a body.
