Let us arise this day
Throw all dead weight away,
Equip us for the fray
To Danish wrong and crime
And make our world sublime!

True in our lives and mind

And Love would make us free

Not like to like, but like in difference.

The man be more of woman, she of man
He gain in sweetness and in moral height,
Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw

She mental breadth, nor fall in child

Nor lose the childliSe in the larger mind ;
Till at the last she set herself to man.
Like perfect music unto noble words;
And so these twain, upon the skirts of

Planting and Pruning.
AS a rule the trees In town have a
hard time Of II, receiving little or no
attention. Unless they are treated With
an intelligent understanding Of their
requirements they will not thrive. The
aspect of the streets cannot improve as
long rs property owners plant tree

suits them, and retain full control OF

control OF the planting and pruning OF

person who has knowledge Of their re-
aulremcnts in time long rows OF YER
dure would border the thoroughfares.
In a paper read before hordcul-
turnl society recently some useful sug-
gostions as to planting trees In towns
were given as follows:
"It makes little difference whether
trees are planted IN the spring or fan.
Dig out about cart load OF soil and
ali I'm the fresh, good earth, unless you
are planting I'm a locality where the
natural soil exists in its original puri-
ty. Never use rank manure, but you can
mix with the soil moderately manure
that is a year or more old and wei de-
eayed. Good planters think II better
that II be not in direct contact with the
roots. 80 unmixed earth is first thrown
| In TO cover the roots.
"Before planting II Is good practice
to do some pruning. Just how much
Is determined by examining the roots
All trees lose more or less roots In dig
cling. II but few are lost, but little
pruning OF the top is called for; II
many are n good deal of the top must
come away. Nonnttentlon to this Is
the cause of the loss OF thousands oi
trees. Numerous branches make more
mouths than the roots can supply, nnd
the trees die. Do not be afraid OF
good pruning Of the top. There Is an
other reason for pruning at planting
The trees may be unshapely, th'
branches too low or the top spindling
