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
tons is unfit for agricultural pur-
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

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 a 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

1t is the general experience than
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 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. In 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.

About six or seven years ago, during
a very dry spell, the water in the
reservoir became very low and the
old ram afforded us considerable an

only one stroke, which necessitated as
much supply water at one time as an
other. therefore we had to keep the
ram turned off until the water was

Flowing Sod Under Trees.

Occasionally the grass under some
trees will be green while under Others
it is nearly dead, or yellow, showing
hut sparse growth. The difference is
due TO the blowing. If an orchard 10
deeply plowed its feeding roots will
be below the grass, but ii barely
stirred then the tree roots come to
the surface and take both food and
moisture from the grass. such is the
theory, but whether true or not the
grass under trees is best where the
land has been pl Jwed deem.

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety OF acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whoopng cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe 1t Is
not very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
Ia grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per-
nicious effects of this disease. The major.
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an un.
told amount of suffering could be averted!
