"Heeling In" Trees.

Trees are often received from the
nurseries before the land where they
are to be planted can be properly fit
ted. In all such cases the trees should
be Temporarily planted by the way
technically known among nurserymen
as 'he cling in" This consists in dig
ging sloping trench, deep enough
at its lower end to allow the roots to
be entirely covered i'll the trench itself,
and long enough so that consider
able part of the tops can also be light
ly covered with soil. In this position
the tree will be saved from all expo
sure to the air, and even in warm
fall there will be no danger of the
buds beginning to swell and grow. II
is so much better than digging hole
and planting tree in the fall that the
most successful fruit growers, though
they are careful to buy trees in the
fall, ger orally heel them in when re-
ceived, and do not transplant to the
open ground until spring. In this way
the roots will start soon enough to
keep the buds and new shoots well
supplied with sap.
But to be successful as much care
should be taken to sift soil among the
roots and pack it down thoroughly as
if the tree was to be planted. Not
only this, but soil must be ridged over
where the trees lie, and especially
over the roots, so that frost will not
get down to the roots in winter, and
they shall not be deluged with water
when spring rains begin. There will
be more OF less settling of soil in the
trench during the winter. IF there is
only slight ridge, it may before
spring be converted into hollow, and
the water will run in the bottom OF the
trench to the lower end among the
roots. So long as the weather is cold
this may not be an injury, but if the
winter is mild many of the roots will
become mouldy and rotten. If the
soil about the roots can be kept
merely moist it will be better than to
have them immersed for weeks and
months in water.
A common cause of failure of
heeled-in tree is attacks of mice,
which find in the covered bark of
trunks and roots an easily secured
winter ration, protected from most OF
their enemies. But if paris green is
scattered among the tree roots the
mice will usually eat this, and all OF
them will be dead in the trenches
when the trees are taken up in spring,
while the trees themselves will be un-
injured. 1t is well to take up the
heeled-in trees as early as the ground
can be got in good condition to plant
them, for by this time some air spaces
will probably be made by sinking
away of earth from the roots, and
new planting will be needed to keep
the roots from drying out.-American

Perfection of Modern Pumping Engines.

Perfection OF Modern Pumping Engines.
The standard attained by the per-
formance of modern pumping engines
Is pretty high, as was illustrated by an
incident which occurred not long ago
in New York, where some large pump
ing engines that had recently been set
up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise, were inspected by an expert in
such matters who hailed from an in.
terror city. He remarked: "WelS those
engines work very nicely now, but wait
until you get to pumping water at that
speed, and then you will hear some
thing from them probably" His aston
ishment may perhaps be imagined
when it was demonstrated to him thai
they were at that moment pumping
water, and had been continuously do
Ing so for forty-eight hours.

Glover Fails on Glover Sod.

Almost all farmers know that it is
not safe to plow a clover sod, or, in
fact, any other sod in the fall, and
then SOW wheat with the expectation
of getting a clover catch from seed
sown next spring. There have been
various reasons assigned for this, the
old one being that the clover sod
while it is rotting in the soil "poisons"
the land for clover until the rottiug is
completed. But it is quite as impos-
sible to seed with clover on any newly
plowed sod, and that disposes of the
clover poisoning theory. The true
explanation seems to be that when a
sod of any kind IS decaying under the
furrow it allows the soil above it to
fall down, thus destroying the slight
hold which the young clover plant
has, and obliging it to regain its hold
before the leaf willis and kills the root.
Glover will come up we'll enough on a
clover or any other kind of sod, but
unless there are almost constant rams
during the spring little of it will live.
Even timothy seeding does not do
well on newly plowed sod, though
in young plants the proportion of leaf
to root is much less in the grass than
1t IS in any kind of clover.

Cooking and steamlng Fcod.

There has been considerable mis-
conception as to the value of cooking
food for stock. In Europe, expert
ments have indicated that steaming
or cooking coarse foods was advan.
tageous, not because of its making the
food more nutritious, but in inducing
the animals to eat larger quantities.
1t has been shown, in fact, that lupine
hay and certain other foods were
rendered less digestible by steaming.
The cooking of potatoes, formerly
thought to be advantageous, is not
profitable when feeding them to milch
cows, although there are some advan-
tages when they are fed to pigs.
The Department of Agriculture has
been collecting experiment station
information on this subject. The New
York station analyzed cooked and un-
cooked clover hay and corn meal and
then determined the digestibility of
the same. The result showed that the
percentage of albuminoids and fat and
the relative digestibility of albu-
minoids were more or less diminished
by cooking. Experiments at most of
the stations have usually been made
in preparing food for pigs. AtNleast
thirteen separate series Of experiments
have reported on the value of cooking
OF steaming food for the hogs. The
following grains were operated upon
Barley meal, corn meal, shorts, whole
corn, whole corn and shorts, peas,
corn and oat meal, potatoes and mix
ture of peas, barley and rye. These
cooked or steamed feeds were COM
pared with the same uncooked and fed
usually dry. In ten of these there
was no gain whatever from cooking,
but in realitya positive loss. That is,
the amouns of food required to pro-
duce pound of grain was larger when
the food was cooked than when it was
raw. In the three exceptional cases
there was either no gain at all or a
very slight gain from cooking, amount
ing to two per cent. in one case.
Some experiments in feeding
steamed cottonseed meal are reported
by the Mississippi station. After
three years work the station con-
cludes that the milk and butter from
COWS fed on steamed cottonseed cost
less than that from COWS fed on raw
cottonseed and but little more than
one-half as much as that from cows
fed on cottonseed meal. The butter
from steamed cottonseed is also
superior in quality to that produced
from raw. The Texas station found
that 1t is advantageous to boil cotton
seed meal for feeding steers. New

There was a time, not so many
years back, when it was not quite
fashionable to appear too robust A
little languor was considered rather
becoming in young woman. But
that day has passed. The pale, droop-
ing, indoor girl has given way to the
riding, walking, golf-playing girl.
Health has received the seal OF fash
ion.
And everything that conduces to
healthi is now good form. For instance,
in the matter of wearing rubbers. A
few years ago good many women OBJ
jected to wearing rubbers, on the
ground that they detracted from the
trim appearance of the foot. But
everybody knows that nothing else
ruins the health as quickly as wet
feet, and the only possible way to have
dry feet-especially in winter-is to
wear rubbers. SO rubbers have come
back into style as indispensable to
good health.
The added fact that rubbers are now
so much more shapely and graceful in
their lines than they were a dozen
years ago, and that they are now made
i'll such infinite variety, has served, of
course, still further to increase their
popularity. -Harper's Bazaar.

Max1rns For the Stable.

Men who handle horses should study

The study is not mere fad or whim
idea, for the horse is so constantly in
contact with humanity that he is sub
jected to many things that are contrary
to his nature. In domestication
the horse must depend for everything
upon those who own him or, at least,

least foot from the cellar wall and
six inches off the floor to permit of

If there is thin crust of frozen
soil, or even light fall of snow on
the ground when it is fall plowed, it
will be none the worse, for the soil
next spring. The frozen soil holds
up the furrow better, even though
when turned to the bottom it is soon
thawed by the earth's internal heat.
The result will be that frost will peAe-
trate to the bottom of the furrow,
giving the soil much finer tiIth than
would be possible by repeatedly culti-
waiting it.

Wintering the strawberry field is
especially hazardous with us in Colo.
rado, because of the generally dry,
open winter weather, with mostly
bright sunshiny days and freezing
nights. Mulching is necessity, but
we have no salt meadow hay or marsh
grass. Wheat or oat straw is out of
the question on account of the seeds.
We pile up stable manure, giving it a
chance to heat, which pretty effectu-
ally destroys the seeds and then
spread it on after the ground freezes
in December. Cow manure from the
dairies is also frequently resorted to
after being piled and partly rotted and
dried. But spring generally reveals
to us many spots and streaks of win
ter-killed plants, though the manure
has been spread lightly or heavily,
has been raked oil early or late. Again
the question comes up, Does the man.
ure contain substances injurious to
the plants? Is COW manure poisonous,
but horse manure safer? All we can
be sureof is that the plants are killed,
and that there is nothing but man
ure to mulch with. Can you clear the
farmers best friend, the manure pile,
OF so serious suspicion?-A. H. r.,
