Novel Method of Planting Trees.

The Forest Department of South
Australia, the most enterprising body
in forestry in the Colonies, have
adopted the bamboo tube system in
planting out young trees, and it has
proved very successful. The plant COM
monty called bamboo (Arundo donax),
really reed, is cut into lengths of
above 5 inches and filled with prop
erly prepared soil. Then small
pinch of seed is placed in each tube,
and with judicvbus watering the seed
lings appear in due course. The tubes
may vary from one-half inch to l
inch, but should not be obtained from
very old bamboos, as such tubes will
not rot when planted out. All gums
reared for planting out in South Aus
tralla are grown in these tubes this
plan having been found to be the best
and most economical in rearing, plant
ing, and carrying over long distances,
at the same being safer than any
other system, as far as root exposure
is concerned. The soil having been
we'll worked, an opening is made with
a spade, and the tube is placed there
in, but care most be taken to plant
the tube right to the bottom. If this
is not done, when the tree sends out
young roots at the bottom of the
tube, they would come into empty
space and perish, and the death O.:
the young tree would follow. 1t is
recommended to plant the tree as far
under the soil as possible, as the tube
is more certain to decay when well
in the ground, as the damp can act
on it better than when it shows on
the surface.-Indian Agriculturist.

Selecting Sheep for a Flock.

w. ]. Boynton of the Minnesota
Stock Breeders Association says:
Anyone that starts a pure bred flock
should be fond of sheep and ambitious.
He should take pride enough in the
flock to be determined that it should
not only be kept up to as high stand
ard as when it comes into his hands
but that it should constantly improve.
All successful breeders must progress.
Start with the breed that you like
best, if it is suitable for your location
and there is demand enough for it to
make it a paying investment as well
as a pleasant business. In selecting
the ewes for the foundation flock get
as uniform lot as possible, as this
will be a great help to you. 1t is
hard to breed anything uniform from
an uneven lot. Size is important, but
not so much as the quality. The Sc
lection of the ram is the most i'm
portant He is one-half if not three
fourths of the flock. Don't be afraid
to invest your money in a good ram.
You cannot keep your flock up If you
do not use good sires. A flock of poor
quality ewes can be greatly improved
by using good sires, but poor ram
will run down the quality of the best
flock of ewes. A highly fitted and fin
at his best and will never look as well
again. Pay for the quality but not
the fitting.

Locality Affects Quality of Apples.


A variety of apples will vary in
quality largely according to the local
ity in which it grows. We have been
struck with this fact as we have test
ed apples grown in different parts of
the United States. Just what are the
elements entering into the problem
it is hard to say. The writer was
once on the fair grounds at st. Louis
and was looking over the apple ex-
hibit. To the man in charge of the
Missouri exhibit he remarked the
want of flavor of a certain variety of
apples grown in the prairies states.
He was answered that the same va
riety grown in the OZarks had fine
flavor, and, to prove his assertion,
handed the writer an apple from the
region named. 1t was indeed highly
favored Possibly the composition OF
the soil has much to do with this.
The clay soils that are rich in lime
seem to give high favored fruit. Yet
it may be due to other things than
the condition and composition of soil.
Perhaps on the rich prairie soil the
growth of the trees and of tho fruit
is too rapid to admit OF the best OF
results in the way of tiavors. We
would like to hear from our readers
on this point. Do soils affect flavor

gard as good joke on their recently

Burgess II may be recalled that the

continuously, and we'~e all tired and
in no mood for appropriate action.

The motion was not seconded, and
the baloting was taken up again.
About three minutes after DR.. Burgess
little speech he was chosen bishop OF

Quaint Robert Grant

Professor Schafer in The University
College Gazette tells a story about
Robert Grant, the comparative anato-
mist, a quaint figure in his day. who
always Wore full evening dress and
worked with Darwin. He used, says
Professor Schafer, to occupy q house
In Euston square, near the station
When the railway company obtained
powers to open up the square SO as t.
give better access to its station, thu
new street which was thus formed
passed the house occupied by Grant
and it might be assumed that the in
creased traffic would disturb its quic-
tude and that the occupier might be
fairly entitled to compensation. NJ
any rate, the story goes that the COM.
pany rendered such compensation as to
poor man like Grant was q good
round sum. Grant, however, would
not acceS penny, stating that he
could not see that the change which
was to be made would in any way in
juriously affect him.

The sons


The state astronomer of New South
Wales has recently shown n remarka-
bic relation between the good and bad
seasons of Australia and the moons
position. There is a lunar cycle Of
nineteen years or, to be more precise,
Of G,J3969 days. That is to say, after
nineteen years the times Of new and
full moon come over again almost eX-
aCtly as before. Mr.. Russells official
observations for three periods of nine
teen years show that rain comes IN
times in abundance when the moon is
in certain degrees of her motion south,
and when the moon begins to 90 north
the droughty conditions prevail for sev-
en- or eight years, which, says the
astronomer, sis either a marvellous CO..
incidence or is a law connecting n
two phenopena and the latter, he BE-
lieves IS the case. The first bad year
of the present cycle was in 1898. and
the droughts have persisted to such IA
terrible extent that from 1895 TO 1900
25,0O000O sheep have died OF starva-
ton in the commonwealth. But the law
doesn't wort; so we'll elsewhere.

PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME.
Some OF the Bsrbnrous Laws That
Iacd TO lie Enforced.

Sir Samuel Romilly was the first who
endcavored to soften the rigor Of the
criminal law. In 1908 he passed bill re.
pealing the statute of Elizabeth, which
made larceny punishable by DEATH and
three or four years later be carried other
bills of similar nature. Indeed. it is
chiefly owing to bis efforts that our Grim.
inal system is indebted for its presen.
characteristics of humanity.
One or two of the former punisbmcnts
are so curious that it may be interesting
to notice them. In the time Of Henry
VIII poisoning was made treason, and
the punishment was to be boiled alive,
which was carried out In the case of John
Rous, who threw poison into n pot of
broth prepared for the bishop Of Roches-
tcr's family. This, in common with many
more of Henry Wills barbarous laws,
was repealed by Edward VI. The law
Of retaliation vas introduced by statute
81, Edward III, a, punishment for
those who preferred malicious accusa-
tons, 1t did not answer, however, and
was repealed after one years trial.
Crimes Of an unnatural nature, such "a a
wife killing her husband. a servant his
master. an ecClesiastic his superior were
held petit treason, md a man was drawn
and hanged and q woman drawn aud
burned.
We see something # similar nature
in the ancient Roman law that enacted
that the murderer II parent should he
scourged and then tied up in a leather
sack with dog, cock, viper and ape and
then thrown into the sea. Publicus Nal
lcolus, who killed his mother, was the
first who suffered this punishment in the
year Of Rome 90
But this punishment has existed in
modern Europe. Thus. in Spain. at Jaen.
on March !, 1892, man, for numbering
his daughtcr-in-law, after being placed
in a barrel with a cock, a snake, mon
key and toad, was thrown into the
river.
Another common punishment. now long
obsolete. was Disagreement, as every one
acquainted with the records Of the star
chamber knows. Ears aud noses were
most frequently cut off the excuse being
that the loss of them does uot tend TO
weaken the culprt whereas the loss Of
nm arm or finger does. Early law always
advocated member for member. forgetting
that Oh a repetition of the off,nee the
punishment cannot be repeated. --Gentlp
