TranspIantins Fruit Trees

The correspondent who wrote us recent
ly, asking how best to transplant large
fruit trees. suggested topic which no
doubt is of interest to many more besides
himself. writes Joseph H. Meehan. When
the writer was a boy, taking his first les
son in a horticultural line, the planting
of trees was made very much of a mys-
terry by the men he was placed under.
Apparently those who had experience
were jealous of those who had not, and
what was learned was more from observa-
ton than from being told. While there
is nothing more lasting than knowledge
gained from experience, no one nowadays
fears to tell another how work is to be
done. At any rate, the p. F. expects those
IN charge of its columns to tell its read
ers freely what will be to their advan-
tage to know. In the matter of tree
planting, an experience of 40 years among
trees tells me that there is no mystery
and but little to know about it, There
are proper seasons and particular times
for certain trees, but the digging and the
re-setting of trees are quite simple pro-
cesses. Some recent writer's have been
advocating the cutting off of all roots to
a stub and the cutting off of ALI tops.
DO nothing of the kind. Preserve all the
roots by carefully digging around the
tree and under it. Prune away what tops
are unshapely and cut back the tops to
about the same proportion as you have
lost roots in the digging. If you have
lost fourth of the roots, prune away
ABOUT the same proportion of top. The
proportion may be in the shape of a thin
ning out of crowded branches or cutting
away of few entirely out of shape. 1t
matters not where they are cut from so
the top is reduced that much Nearly al
ways the bringing of the top into shape
is pruning sufficient A tree of about an
inch and a half in diameter of stem
which in an apple would represent one
OF eight feet in hight, would have root
sufficient in a circle of about three feet
in diameter and to depth of two feet.
When dug. be particularly careful that
the roots do not become dried out. Cover
blankets or something over them to keep
them fresh. and plant as soon as possible.
More trees die from drying out than from
any other cause. Prepare a hole for its
reception foot wider than the roots are
Set the tree so that it stands about as il
was before digging. Fill in with fine soil
and pound il in as firm as possible not
hitting the roots in the process. If not
allowed to become dry before set, and
then firmly pounded in, but very few
trees will miss growing. Cut away all
bruised roots, cutting back to the unia-
jured part In Pennsylvania we have a
great liking for early fall planting, ex-.
cept for one-year peaches, which we find
do better set in spring Nevertheless,
the trees may be set at any time before
the buds start Cherries Will not live if
set after buds swell, or but in rare cases.
These remarks are intended to refer to
fruit trees. but they are also appica BILE
to many other trees and shrubs. but not
ALL some requiring more regard for par
ticular periods.

MULE CAUSED A STRIKE.

Sparta Ishmaelite: A Georgia mule is
responsible for a strike now on at Palos,
Ala. in which $50 miners are involved.
Heretofore one of the drivers on
the outside of the mine has mad
but one mule to drive and all was well.
But recently the company provided sec
ond mule. giving this particular driver
a team of mules TO handle, and the driver
demanded more pay He argued that If
driving one mule of not over gentle dis
position was worth IS cents an hour. then
driving two mules was worth % cents an
hour. especially as the new mule was
fresh and chippier animal The driver
demanded an increase accordingly, and
the company refused the demand. The
matter was laid before the other men,
and it was decided to strike.

Pasture and range are necessary in or
der to keep breeding swine in a healthy
condition and grow the stock at a profit,
says the Farmers Review. The man who
tries to raise swine under other condi-
tions is playing a losing game, and his
balance will be on the debtor side of the
ledger just as sure as we have day and
night. Although these facts have been
vouched for many times by experiment
stations and successful swine raisers and
given wide publicity, thousands of far
mers still continue in trying to raise hogs
in dry lot with nothing but corn as a
feed, with the expectations of making it
a profitable operation.
A hog pasture does not mean dust
lot with possibly few old weeds off in
the corner but good and commodious
range, and if planned to give the best
results it will contain variety of crops,
selected as to their food value. The pas
ture should not be so small that the hog
is compelled to eat his own filth to get
the feed. Every farm should have six
to eight acres of hog pasture fenced pur-
posely for this use. This is in addition to
what range may be utilized outside at
times. Better far to have a little too
much than not enoughG If the crop gets
ahead of the hogs and becomes woody
cut it off with the mower and a new
growth will start. This can be done with
many plants and will pay even if the
moved portion is not gathered. The pas
ture may be greatly fortified by this
method in many cases. The enclosure
should be divided into two or three parts,
at least, so that while one part is being
pastured,- crops may be growing in the
others While succulent food is very es-
sential the year round for growing and
breeding stock, the exercise is just as
necessary. Pigs confined in pens will do
much better if they have some green
feed. but the results will be vastly bet
ter If the pigs are allowed range and
the chance to gather this feed for them
selves. Any green crop is much better
than no pasture. but some crops for this
purpose are very much superior to others,
and variety of crops, even though they
may be much alike in composition are
superior to single crop. Many swine
raisers that appreciate the value of hog
pasture do not realize the importance
of giving attention to variety and COM
position of the plants as you would con-
slider the composition of the grain in a
ration. Bear in mind that certain crops
are rich in the food nutrient protein, that
is so essential i'm the animal system to
build up the frame and muscles, and is
very necessary in the food of breeding
stock Crops of the opposite nature are
rich in carbohydrates. the heat and fat
forming compounds. Endeavor to have
some Of the former to pasture along with
the latter and the results will be better.

Kissimmee Valley Gazette: Kissimmee
was shocked to hear of the sudden death
of Capt. w. j. Brack at NarcOossee on
Tuesday night. His body was found in
the woods about a mile from his home,
- his son Percy. He had gone out to
look for some hogs after dinner and not
coming home at dark, his family sus-
pected some mishap and set out on
search. His horse was feeding near by
and his body was found in sitting post
ure against a tree. The captain had been
feeling poorly for some time and it is
thought that death came from heart dis
case. His father died in the woods in
the same way many years ago. The fu-
neral was held at Narcoossee and was
attended by a large delegation of Ma
sons from Kissimmee Capt. Brack was
one of the best men in this section of

MAY FIND OIL IN WILKES.

Washington Gazette: 1t is well known
fact that a few years ago unmistakable
evidences of the existence of oil in the
earth. were discovered out a Antho-
nys shoals in the northern part of Wilkes
county. 1t is true that on the surface
of the ground the flow is so slight that
it attracts little attention but the positive
evidence of the existence of oil certainly
warrants an investigation to see If there
is oil there in paying quantities. 1t
would cost but little TO bore into the
earth. and with what is already known,
there is a fair promise of developments
that would bring great wealth If the
owners of the land do not care to under
take the enterprise. some active and en-
ergetic outside parties might easily obtain
an oil interest dependent on finding oil.
" believe the owners of this property
would be glad to make such an arrange
ment as this. as the enterprise. if sue
cessful. would prove mutually beneficial
TO all Out at Anthony's shoals there is
decidedly better promise of oil than there
was known 10 be around Beaumont, Tex,

discover. Why, recently. we are told.
two detectives were engaged by the au-

ARE 70 EVACUATE PEkING
PLANS SUBMITTED BY COUNT
WALDERSEE.
Thinks Actual Punishment of Guilty
Parties Together With Consent to
Pay Indemnities Would be Sufficient.

NEW YORK, January 3O.-A cable to
the Sun from Peking says: The plan of
Commander in Chief Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee for the evacua-
ton of Peking and other places now
held by the allied troops has been trans =
mitted to the foreign Ministers through
the various commanders of the allies.
Count Won Waldersee says: Before
this change can be undertaken the Chi
nese have to make a start at least to-
ward fulfilling the conditions of the
peace treaty. believe that for this pur-
pose the actual infliction of punishment
on the guilty parties, as demanded by
the diplomatic corps, would he suf-
ficient together with China's consent
to pay the different governments the
| indemnities to be demanded by them.
| When this has been done the with
| drawal of the foreign forces from Pc
king and Pao-ting Flu may follow. At
| the same time the forces in Pechili may
| be minimiZed."
Won Waldersee continues: "Tleu-
| tsin and the neighborhood of Shan Hal
| kWan Will have to remain occupied by
| the International troops until the fol-
| lowing conditions are fulfilled
81. The Chinese Government must
give proof that it is willing and able to
| maintain peace and order in the Prov
ince of Chilli and to effectually protect
missionaries, Christians and other for
| elgnerS
"2. The Chinese Government must
state in what manner it win manage to
provide money for the payment of in
demnity. This must be satisfactory to
the powers"
The British and American mission
| aries today sent note to the Ministers
| complaining that the preliminary de-
| mand note presented to China was un-
satisfactory to them, because. it does
not sufficiently rebuke the Chinese Gov
ernment for it's fragrant violations of
| its treaty obligations relating to mis-
sionaries and native converts and does
not provide for the payment of indem-
| mites to native Christians.
