PLANT MORE TREES,
Sections Where Timber Is Scarce
Suffer More from Drought Than
Wooded Regions.

More even distribution of the for
est growth over farming sections is
needed, for as it now is the forest
growth in mountains and other sec
tions is unfit for agricultural par-
poses. The sections best ADAPTED to
farming are largely void of trees. In
time of drought the sections which
suffer most severely are those where
timber is most scarce. Southern In
diana, which has been cleared too
much, years ago when there was still
much timber standing, produced far
better crops than now. Rains were
then much better distributed through
the growing season and showers were
frequent and mild, but now rain too
often falls in heavy, sudden down.
pours, often doing damage to growing
crops. These severe rains are usual
ly followed by hard winds that soon
dry the moisture from the land in
the growing season, and in winter
the wind having uninterrupted sweep
drifts the snow in great banks along
fences and leaves wheat fields bare.
We cannot undo the harm done by
too excessive clearing, but one can
improve matters by planting trees in
shelter belts on the south and west
sides of our farms. For perpetual
wind-break, the Norway spruce un-
doubtedly leads. A good shelter belt
should contain four rows of spruce,
ten feet between rows and trees five
feet apart in the rows, and the trees
placed so as to break the spaces be-
tween rows. Spruce seedlings can be
got from nurseries when about ten
inches high for about three dollars per
hundred. Be very careful in moving
evergreens not to let the roots get
dry, as this means certain death to
the tree. Robert Killins, in Farm
and Home.

William Death, three of the four
persons indicted for the murder of

The jury took IA ballots and after
summoning Judge Dixon and the
prisoners. filed into the court room.
The prisoners appeared very nervous.
McAllister seemed more excited than
any of the others. He sat biting his
lips while waiting. Campbell thrust
his hands into his trousers pockets
and clinched his fists in them. Death
looked anxiously about the court
room for moment and then assumed
the same attitude as Campbell.
Judge Dixon thanked the jury and
said he believed the verdict a just
one. He then dismissed the jurors
until Monday. The court then rose
and the prisoners were taken back
to the jail.

Pine Lumber Output Decreases.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-The American
Lumberman in its issue to-day prints
an article on the decline of the pine
lumber product of mills in the north
west. The total number of feet cut
in 1900 was 5.4s5.26 900, against g.
O5G. 100000 in 1899. Commenting upon
the situation the Lumberman says:
During the last two years there has
heen every inducement for the mills
to turn out a heavy product and yet
there was a slight falling off in 1899
as compared with 1898, and heavy
decrease in 1900. Every resource
was strained to make heavy output,
but without result, except TO prove
that the closing years of the white
pine industry of the northwest are

ry the water anywhere needed. The
sketch shows the arrangement Of the
system.
About six or seven years ago, during
very dry spell, the water in the
reservoir became very low and the
old ram afforded us considerable an
noyance on account of there being
only one stroke, which necessitated as
much supply water at one time as an
other. therefore we had to keep the
needed in some of the buildings.
About that time at the county fair, /
happened to see another hydraulic ram
which looked so simple, and having a
governor TO regulate the strokes in
pumping, which means everything
when the reservoir is getting low, that
| purchased one and placed it in posi-
tion and have had no trouble since.
On one occasion in particular its use
fulness was very prominent. A fire
originated in the bottle department
of my dairy, between the inner and
outer sidings, which was impossible to
reach without the use of thrown
stream. but by breaking a little of the
outer siding and inserting the nozzle
of the hose the fire was overcome in
very short time, thus saving every
building on the place, which otherwise
would have surely burned.-T. w

Report of Church Wedding by an

An editor who was thoroughly tired Of

the Atchison Globe man: They We're

was thought that they would be more likely
to bring elegant presents for the bride.
"Of course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Senate Refuses to Stop Sale of
Liquor in the Philippines.
DEFEATED AT EVERY POINT
All Efforts To Prevent Increase of the
Army's Strength FaiIed-The House
Considers an Old Bill that Has More
Lives than a Cat.

Washington. Jan. 19-Just before
6 o'clock last evening the senate final
ly disposed of the army reorganiza
ton bill. The measure having orig
mated in the senate, the final ques-
ton was not upon its passage, but
upon agreeing to the senate amend
ments. They were agreed to by
vote of 43 TO 23. While party lines
were drawn on the measure, four
democrats voted for it-Senators
Lindsay. of Kentucky; McLaurin, of
South Carolina; Morgan. of Alabama,
and Sullivan, of Mississippi.
The bin has occupied practically
the entire attention of the senate
since January 3, when it was made
the unfinished business. While the
opposition to it at all stages was
vigorous, it never was bitter Nu-
merous amendments were made to it,
but in general the committee was
sustained and the measure, with the
exception of the elimination of the
canteen clause, is not widely differ
ent from that reported to the SEN
ate.
\ determined effort was made yes
terday to amend the bill so as to pro-
vide against the sale of liquor in the
Philippines and to prohibit the i'm
portation of any kind of intoxicants
into the islands, but it was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered by
Mr. Hale. of Maine, who, while oppos-
ing the increase in the strength of
the army, stated his reasons for sup
porting the bill.
Every effort to prevent the in
crease in the strength of the army
was defeated by decisive majority.
As the bill originated in the senate
it now will go directly to the confer
ence committees appointed by the
two branches of congress.
House-The house spent the entire
day on the bill to refer to the court
of claims the claims of the Cramp
Shipbuilding Co. of Philadelphia. for
alleged damages due to the delay of
the government for furnishing armor
plate and material for the battleships
Massachusetts and Indiana and the
cruisers New York and Columbia.
The claims aggregate 81 ,367.244. The
bill has been conspicuous at every
session of congress for several wears.
1t met with the strenuous opposition
of portion of the minority and the
house adjourned without passing it.

To the disappointments of war

Deep Planting of TreeS

1t is the general experience that
deep planting is harmful and con-
trary to nature. Trees that are
planted deeper than they stood in
the nursery row will make vigorous
growth for a few years, as the wood
covered will send out roots. but the
old roots make no growth, finally de-
cay, and sometimes cause the whole
tree to die. We consider it very i'm
portant that trees should not be
planted deeper than they stood in the
nursery row. Ia planting straight
sticks, by the Springfellow method,
with the lateral roots all taken off,
the trees may be set several inches
deeper than they stood in the nur-

THE RIGHT KIND or STREET SIGN.

THE RIGHT KIND or STREET SION
The movement for a street sign system in this
city is making progress The Municipal Art
Society has reported TO the Municipal Assem-
bly, the draft of n proposed ordinance upon the
subject and the Aldermanic Committee on
Streets and Highways will meet tomorrow AZ
ternoon 10 consider 1t. with hopes OF being able
TO report fully 10 the board on Tuesday next
All possible expedition is desirable, since every
day OF the present chaotic state of affairs Is
reproach TO the city. At the same time IL is
supremely desirable TO make no mistake but
10 adopt and erect signs which VIII in the most
perfect manner serve the purpose of their being.
We are by no means that the ordinance
as drafted is calculated to provide the city with
the best system Of signs that can be de-
vlsed. II provides for multiplicity OF designs,
whereas. as we have frequently pointed out,
uniformity is strongly TO be desired. The pro-
posed ordinance would have one style Of sign
for the thinly settled parts of the city and an
other for the crowded regions The latter class
would again be divided into two styles, one for
general information and one for passengers IN
streetcars And. finally. in some cases the
signs would be on corner buildings and in some
on posts Thus there would be no fewer than
eight or ten different kinds or styles Of signs in
al least three different classes of places-to wit,
on corner buildings, on posts on corner lots and
on posts on street corners. The result would be
that one would not always know where 10 look
for sign. and would not always know what
the sign would look like when he found IT,
Such a varied system would not serve the
public need in the best possible way. The signs
should be uniform in style. as to be recog-
niZed at a glance-just United States letter
boxes are and the business signs of telegraph
and telephone companies. They should he uni
formly placed. so that one will know instinct
lively and unerringly just where TO look for
them. And they should be made as legible by
night as by day-fully So they easily can
be and not merely las far practicable" The
signs erected on some streets by the Strong ad-
ministration FIVE years ago. Of which n few
specimens have escaped the destroying hand Of
Mr.. Kearny and still exist, were uniform in de-
sign and in place, and Were legible by night
well as by day. They were not perfect, hut
they We're good, and the new system which is
TO be adopted should certainly show no falling
off from their standard. We believe ii can be
made 10 improve upon their standard, If some
of the suggestions which have hitherto appeared
in these columns are followed At any rate, the
new signs should fulfil the requirements of be-
ing accurate in designation, uniform in style
and place and legible at all times.
