TRANSFORMING TREES

To Assure Success Only Ordinary Care
and Judgment Are Required.
The moving of trees from one place
to another is work that can be done by
almost any person who will exercise or
binary care. Almost. anybody who
plants a tree will use care in some of the
points that ought to be well known by
every person, such as digging good
large hole, working the fine dirt around
the roots, etc. But there is one point
Of equal Importance that is almost sure
to be overlooked even by those who are
fairly well acquainted with such work.
The more do of such work the more
see the value of it. and my experience
has been considerable. The point I re-
fer to is the one of cutting back thor
oughly the top of the tree at the time it
is transplanted.
remember when I was a small boy
Ct seeing my father, who was a nursery
man, showing his customers how to
prepare peach tree for planting. He
would cut it back so severely that they
would shake their heads and tell him he
would spoil the tree. But am salts

COST OF MARKETING.

Mud Has Added Enough to 1t to Keep
Many Farmers Poor.
The fight for reduced freight rates
which the farmers, through their repro
senRtives, used to wage. SO earnest
ly and necessarily against the railroad
companies, has now been brought near
er home.
Increased competition among rail-
ruad companies, dull times, and much
legislation friendly to the farmers,
have diverted the attention of the pub
lie from the railroads, many of which
are in the hands of receivers, to the
farmers, themselves, and the roads they
maintain.
The cost of the long railroad ship
mcn1 to the metropolis has been re-
duced nearly to the minimum. Atten-
ton is now being directed to the wagon
road leading to the local market. Here
in has lain hidden enemy to the pros
perity of the agricultural classes. The
monster, Mud, has added so much to
the cost of marketing, and thus, indi.
rect'y, to the cost of production, that
thousands of farmers have failed
where, with good roads, they would
have been happily prosperous.
Not that the farmers have found tue
wrong they wish corrected is very close
at hand, and has vital influence on
their welfare, they should not be slow
to correct the evil. Every poor road
robs them of profit and the pleasure OF
living, for amid their surroundings
mud-clogged highways mean enforced
isolation.
The transportation problem has be.
come simplifed. Every man is his own
road-maker. Every neighborhood, town
and city has its work to do. The proper
amount of labor and legislation will
correct the wrongs.-Good Roads.

fed that if they had followed his advice
they would have found it good. HI
applied the cutting back particularly tc
the peach tree.
In the spring of 1892 superintended
the setting out of about II acres of or.
chard on the experiment station farm
at Wooster. This was a variety orchard
with vengeance, such as no private
individual would care about planting,
containing over 800 kinds of the differ.
ent fruits: The trees came from many
parts of the United States, and coming
at different times, they were not in as
good shape as if they had all been
bought at one place, yet by severe cut
ting back the per cent. of loss was small.
] remember particularly the apple
trees. which We cut back in very much
the manner shown in Fig. l and Fig. 2,
and all other trees were cut back nearly
as much. The season started out very
wet, but got very dry before the mid
Gle of the summer. This experience
showed me that not only the peach tree
was benefited by a severe pruning at
the time of transplanting, but all other
fruit trees as well.
In the spring of 1896 spent nearly
the entire months of April and May in
planting trees on the grounds of the
Ohio State university. There were no
fruit trees, but large collection of
shade and ornamental trees and shrubs.
The season was, unusually favorable for
the growth of trees, yet in looking them
over at the end of the season find that
those cut back severely have done the
best. ilethey may have looked rather
bad to start with, they have more than
made up the difference by their good
growth later On. About $50 shade
trees were planted out very late-so late
that I had my doubt if any would grow
The leaves were out to full size, and
they had made quite growth of wood,
but by cutting them back severely,
with the favorable season, nearly every
one lived.
While the proper cutting back of q
tree at transplanting time may not be
the most important point, yet be-
lieve it to be the one to be most insist
ed on, because it is the one most likely
10 be neglected. It seems rather hard
when. we buy tree, to cut away the
part We most want, but could we see
the roots as they are in the soil, and
compare them as they usually come to
us, we could see better reason for cut
ting back in the same manner. lido not
think Figs. l and 2 exaggerate this
point.--E. C. Green, in Ohio Farmer.

FARM AND GARDEN.
ROADS MUST BE, ROADS.

Why tho Reign of King Mud should Bo
. Cut Short Everywhere.
There appears to be a growing i'm
preston to the effect that road is "a
place of passage from one point to an
other, and that if it is anything short
of that, the ones accountable for its
condition may be, held responsible for
the trouble thatamay be occasioned BY
its faultiness.
Passengers injured in a railroad ac-
cident, occasioned by defective road
bed or an imperfect rail, are verysure
to sue for damages and to recover lib
orally.
Anyone injured by a defective side
walk can usually make a town or an in
dividual pay smartly for it..
The spirit of the law seems to be that
a railroad must be railroad and in Il
condition to properly, carry on its work
in business-like manner.
A sidewalk must be kept in safe
condition for people to walk over it.
Now, what about a road over which
persons in vehicles must travel? Must
it be real road? Oh no! Most any OLD
thing will answer. It differs from side
walk and a railroad. They have to be
what they pretend to be, but wagon
road may be simply streak of mud or
stones or anything else. No one ap-
pears to be responsible for the condi-
ton of the public road. It is supposed
to just run wild and look out for itself.
If any one is injured or his. vehicle
