ARBOR DAY-TREE PLANTING.

Both the timely proclamation of Gov.
DIETRICH and the approach of Nebraska
Arbor day, remind to "plant trees"
Many persons, doubtless, who desire
trees, fail to plant, laboring under the
false impression that the process is in
tricate that scientists have a patent
right on tree planting. Facts are to the
direct reverse. Any child large enough
to yield a spade can plant a tree, and
should be taught to do it, with reasons
given for the act. To beautify our own
surroundings, and return interest at
least for what nature has so bountifully
bestowed.
Only care in digging tree, care in
planting, and after care are required to
insure success. Avoid mutilating roots
when digging. Dig aspade-wide trench
around the tree, distance in proportion
to the size Of tree to be removed from
two feet to six, thus retaining all roots
and soil possible. This, where trees are
not shipped from distance In any
event, see that all mutilated roots are
pruned with sharp, keen knife, giving
clean cut on the under side of roots.
When trees are shipped, and without
attached soil, more care should be exer-
cised in examining and pruning to insure
healthy wood, quick healing and new
growth Of rootlets.
In digging hole and providing new
and permanent home for the tree, let it
be from one to two feet larger and
deeper than the actual space required
for roots. Throw surface soil on one
side of the hole, and subsoil on the
other. Fill up the hole with surface
soil to let the trees be about two inches
deeper than it originally grew. Place
the tree in position, and fill in about the
roots with surface soil, being particular
to have soil closely filed in about the
roots. Let roots have as near the same
position as they grew naturally. Don't
be afraid of soil "dirt." Get down on
the knees and with the bare hands and
fingers, see well to placing soil about
roots as indicated This is an all
important factor in planting.
When roots are we'll covered with
surface soil, throw in the subsoil, fill
ing hole to within four inches Of surface
of the ground. Fill up the hole with at
least a two gallon bucket of water,
churn the tree up and down. This will
cause the puddle of soil and water to
settle we'll about all the roots. When
the soil has taken up the water, fill the
hole up two inches above the surface
with subsoil. Let stand for an hour,
and then press soil firmly about the
roots with the feet, leaving slight de-
preston, saucer shape, in circumference,
near as possible, to that of the hole, dug
for the tree. Let topmost soil be loose to
prevent surface baking. If the season
of planting be dry, or becomes so after
ward, mulch literally over the roots Of

Quantitative analytical determinations
Of nitric acid, ammonia and organic
matter, (humus,) have not been carried
out. These substances ought to be
determined in fresh sample of soil
exposure to air for any length of time,
changes their quantity, and, in case of
organic matter, also their quality.
Besides, the omission of these tests does
not affect the main object for which the
present investigation has been instituted,
namely, to obtain some definite idea,
concerning the general character of the
soil in question, and it's qualification for
agricultural purposes. From the fore
going analytical statements, it will be
noticed that the latent resources of plant
food in that soil are of more than
usual good average proportion in a sandy
loan. The peculiar adaptation of the
latter kind of soil for the economical
production of most of our prominent
farm crops, and for the cultivation of
fruits in general, are well recognized

Those who suffer from stomach. blood, kidney or nervious troubles should bear in mind an important fact about Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic; that Is, that this remedy has been largely used for forty-five years. Once in a while some absolutely perfect compound is discovered. This is one of them, and affords ample proof of the learning and wisdom of Dr. Harter. True. modern methods of preparing it are used, 1t Is now made in one of the finest laboratories in the world, but in all essentials 1t is precisely the same as when first made by Dr. Harter nearly A half century ago. How many other remedies have grown in favor or even survived, for that length of time?
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is wonderful medicine. It Is more than a tonic: if Ia a blood maker and life renewer It stim- ulates the repair of the body and 1t SUD- plies something to repair with

If you are not well and have not been well for some time, try this remedy. First will come better appetite, then bet ter digestion then better color and fin- ally increased activity of all the vital or gans and a new and wonderful sense of vigor and strength.

w and SOCIETY
Is a Piazza Wedding the
 Correct Thing in Summer

Where hostesses vie with each other in their original and unique entertainments, and many with impunity arrange any form of entertainment from a cake walk to amateur theatricals, conventionality must still characterize the fashionable wedding and the twentieth century bride is allowed very little opportunity to in- dicate her ingenious talents in the plans for her wedding. The proper thing is to depart as little as possible from conven- tionality and the only point to be disputed by a bride of today is that regarding her flowers, whether they shall be orchids or lilies of the valley.
 But with all the set rules governing either the brilliant church ceremonial or the quiet home wedding, occasionally a bride departs somewhat from the beaten track, and introduces some charming in- novation that lends picturesqueness to the event of events.
 One of these picturesque events occurred this week, when an Eastern bride promis- ed to obey on the steps of her own piaz- ga. The decorations were said to have been elaborate and beautiful, and the vows were pronounced just at twilight, the ceremony being followed by a supper served on the lawn. The bride wore the conventional white satin and point lace, a court train falling from her should CTS, while the maids were in white or- gandie frocks and carried sweet peas, Organdy and sweet peas are alright on the steps of a piazza, but one cannot be reconsiled to bride trailing several yards of white satin down a piazza and kneeling upon a door step, even if it Is carpeted. The ushers wore blue serge suits, Panama hats and boutonieres of lilies of the valley. Blue serge and Pam anna hats is new combination to lead a. bridal procession, particularly if the bride brings up the rear in pillows of white satin and lace, to say nothing of the maids in airy frou frous. But the brides gifts to her maids and the bridegroom 8 remembrances to his groomsmen were the conventional thing, the maids being pre- sented with white satin fans and the groomsmen having their collection of scarf pins augmented. Then there was rice thrown after the carriage of the new ly welded pair, and conventionality reign ed supreme after all.
 At one of Alabama's brilliant weddings recefntly there was really charming in- novation. This was in the arrangement of the wedding supper the reception at the brides home being abandoned and the en- tire wedding party with a number of other guests accompanying the bridal pair a short distance on their wedding journey The private car of the bridegroom con- veyed the party of wedding guests to a nearby junction and the time was delight fully spent in the cafe car, where an ele- gant and elaborate luncheon was served.

SHIRT WAIST IS o. K.
 AT'THE WHITE HOUSE
Captain of the Watch So Decides In a Test Case and Says It's
 a Good Thing.

Washington, June N.-The wearing of shirt waists by visitors to the Executive Mansion has been officially pronounced good form.
 The test case came up today when a man, accompanied by woman, appeared at the portal of the White House and de- sired to look through the East room. He wore a regular shirt waist. The pattern was pink and white stripes an inch and a half apart
 The guardians at the door looked him over and held a consultation, and then passed 1t up to the captain of the watch. That official. after looking the pink and whit stripes over bit. gave 1t as his opinion that the shirt waist was good thing and that the wearer thereof ex- hfhited lots of common sense.
