Care of TYaAa-

Prof. Morrow Of Oklahoma says:
Hundreds of thousands OF trees have
been planted in Oklahoma this spring;
many on Arbor day. Judging by the
past many of these will be neglected.
No tree can be expected to thrive II
planted in a compact sod or where any
kind of plants is allowed to grow free
ly near it. Frequent cultivation, gen.
orally shallow, is great help. Mulch
ing with strawy manure has disad-
yantages. but is vastly better than al
lowing grass or weeds to grow or the
bare surface to become hard and com
pact. Flowing or spading about small
trees in such way as to allow water
to run away from them is bad prac-
tice. At the experiment station the
soil near one row of maple trees has
been we'll cultivated; that near an
other row, on soil Of same character
has not been so treated. A good look
at the trees should convince any one
Of the great gain from keeping the soil
free from weeds or grass.

The railroad expert believes that the
number of revenue tons hauled per
mile is the best indication of a rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
lowest cost of transportation. AS is
we'll known, the receivers of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad have been
spending millions on improvements
and have not completed the work, the
lines west of the Ohio river being in
need Of a general rehabilitation, which
they are to get this year. But the
revenue haul per mile in 1S97-9S was
increased to 314 tons and special re-
port for the six months ending De-
cember 81, 1898, shows an average OF
331.9 tons, quite an appreciable ad-
vance. 1t is confidently expected that
still further improvement will be
shown before long.

Newest schemes In House Decoration
Jacobean Models.
Red, running through the gamut OF
its rich dyes, from Morris scarlet to
the deepest mulberry, is by universal
choice the favorite scheme in house
decoration this season. The steadily
increasing popularity of mahogany IN
simple colonial forms has brought this
sanguine color into fashion, and after
long dalliance with French styles and
a momentary fancy for delft blues, a
| lavish use of gliding and white paint,
the whole inclination of extremely
modern interior ornamentation is to-
ward the older, darker and severer
English modes. Nothing is more
acutely fashionable, for instance, than
library, hall or even an entire hrst
floor wholly DECORATED and furnished
after the best Jacobean models left IN
England, ireland and Scotland, and
one of the charms Of King James
room is that it can be done at as lavish
or moderate cost as you please, and 1t
| is like nothing we have had before IN
our American homes. In Mrs. Elliott
F. Shepard's New York house, only re-
Gently completed, there is small Jac-
obean library that would be a fault
less model for anyone desiring SINH
lar room to copy. The walls are hung
in murrey- colored leather, and the
woodwork is carved cedar; the floor is
stained black, then waxed, highly pol
ished, and on it are laid red rugs. All
the furniture and this motif in decora-
ton come from an ancient manor
house on the border between England
and Scotland. Carved fumed oak, so
called from being blackened by age and
the smoke from slow peat fires, forms
the presses that hold the books, and
the wooden portion of the quaint, I'M
comfortable. long-legged, low-backed
conversation chairs, the window stools
and the settees Murrey colored leather
upholsters these and in corners
against the walls there are carved
locked chests for holding valued man
uscripts and family papers, and one
long tapestry curtain hangs at each
deeply recessed window. The effect
OF the Jacobean room is, in spite of its
absence of mirrors, gilt, and loose brio
a-brac, wonderfully rich. stately and
cozy, and in those houses where no
such liberal expenditure as in Mrs.
Shepard's could be INDUCED the decor
ators have pursued the King James
style with wonderful cheapness and
success. They copy the quaint furni-
ture forms in carved black American
