A reader who says that he has lost
as many as 300 apple trees wishes to
know why these trees have invariably
died from the top down. followed by a
bunch of suckers springing up from
their roots. We find that there are
several causes for the death of apple
trees-borers, sun scald. drouth. eX-
tremes of temperature, both heat and
cold. Among these the first named
the borer-is probably the cause of the
death of more apple trees than any of
the others or all of them put together.
The tree with the worm at the root will
usually ommence to die from the top.
as it will also in the case of blight and
sun scald. The suckers referred to
spring from the root graft, as a gener-
al thing, the roots not being injured
by the blight, the borer or the extremes
of temperature. When a man sets out
sn apple tree, il he would place a strip
of common wire mosquito netting
around the trunk of the tree and leave
it OF winter and summer or as long as
it will last, which is about five years.
he will have more nearly solved the
rabbit, borer and sun scald problems
than in any other way. This. coupled
with thorough cultivation for five years
and the keeping of all four-footed ami
mails out of the orchard, will secure fol-
any man who will do it an orchard
which will be a source of not only
pleasure but profit to him.

not do this every year, and not every
year is orn so high, says me. True,
the field should have the benefit of a
crop rotation. but the 80 bushels should
be obtained each year that it is in corn,
and the 80 cents per bushels may be obs
tanned almost any year by properly
converting the crop into some animal
food product. We should say that such
land is worth 500 per acre if it is
worth anything. So do not be foolish
and sell it for $50 or $50 if you have
such land.

after that becomes one of the very best

The European larch has great merit
and at the end of 80 years would be
worth several hundred dollars per acre

poles. The catalpa up to the limit of
its northern growth is another fine
tree, well adapted to the latitude south
of AZ. The black walnut on rich, moist
soils will prove a good tree, but not on
nigh, dry lands. The white pine and
the Australian pine for the better
grade of soils and the red cedar for the
hillsides and knobs are reliable ever
greens. The clms make the best of
shade trees. but we would not plant
them for any other purpose. If we

NEWS OF MISSOURI
ALL SORTS OF THINGS CAUGHT
FROM THE WIRES.
General Happenings Throughout the
State Prepared for Perusal
by Busy Readers.
Rare Metal Discovered.

Mr.. Huston Wyeth. president OF the
Wyeth Hardware company; Judge o.
NJ. Spencer, general solicitor OF the
Burlington railway. and other persons
of prominence in st. Joseph, nave Just
received notice of their rare good for
tune in a mining investment in the
Douglas creek district, adjacent to Lar
annie, Wyo. This time the discovery
is iridium, one of the rarest of metals.
and far more costly than gold, being
worth $50 per ounce. The presence of
this metal. in addition to copper. gold.
silver and platinum. all discovered
within a very short time. is due to the
Investigations of Prof. f. f.. Slosson,
chemist of the Wyoming state univer-
sity.
A large body of copper glance, run
ming $Si to the ton. was discovered in
the Rambler mine one year ago this
month. Before spring over $4,000
worth of ore was taken out and mar
keted. and up to the present time $780,
900 worth of ore has been sold, not
withstanding a four months shutdown
during the summer for the construc-'
ton of a 200-foot working shaft. with
a new shaft-house and other buildings.
A sensation was caused November 10
when IL was announced by Assayers Bur
lingame and Woods. of Denver, that
the ore contained from four to six
ounces of platinum, valued at $22 an
ounce. This increased the average ore
values by at least 500 per ton, or a total
of $3.50 per ton value. Now m the
most remarkable OF all the discoveries,
which makes the Rambler beyond ques-
ton the most wonderful mine in the
world, and which will probably become
the first platinum mine in the world,
with copper merely a by-product.

Wants the Women to Propose.

Cupid should move about faster than
ne has been doing in Webster Groves,
says Rev. Charles l.. Kloss, pastor of
the First Congregational church.
There are nearly 800 members of the
congregation and last year there were
only about a dozen marriages among
the members. DR.. Kloss is disposed to
blame the women for the prevailing
dizziness in nuptial affairs. He SAYS
they are toe timid. and that there is
no reason why they should not do the
proposing themselves If the men o
tinue to be as slow as they have been.
"The idea seems to have always been
that are dependent upon the
men," DR.. Kloss says. There is no
reason why this opinion should not be
removed. Let them become mems
economic equals. and then they can do
the proposing themselves. instead of
waiting for the men to come along and,
ask them to become their wives. Right
now I'M do not usually let men pro-
pose to them until they are ready, and
there is no reason why they should not
have and exercise the same right of
proposing as men"

Pearl in the head and arm. When she
