You will be wanting to set out some
shade trees this spring, and, while some
other varieties may do well with you,
still the white or water elm is absolute
ly certain to give you satisfaction. We
have no more clean, graceful or hand
some shade trees or n that will en-
dure more unfavorable conditions of
location and soil than the elm. Lii e
some people, it grows more beautiful as
it grows old.

In buying trees to set out this spring
we think you will get the best results
by taking ~two-year-old trees in prefer
ence to those that are older and larger
in fact, the two-year-old trees will al
most invariably be the largest and best
trees at the end of five years. Then they
cost less and are more easily planted.

Many a man is the owner of a rough,
bluffy, stony tract Of land which would
make an admirable site for an apple
orchard. Apples take kindly to stones
and gravel and prefer suca a soil to the
lower and richer alluvial lands. While
the trees will not grow nearly so fast,
our experience proves that they are
longer lived and harder trees.

Selecting Seeds.

The importance of seed selection Is
something too many men overlook. In
q general way as a man sows so shall
he reap-poor seed, poor crops; good
seed, good crops. The Importance of a
frequent change of seed is rarely con-
sidered, while no one thing in natures
methods is so fully AM amply provided
for as this. If you live on a sandy
farm, procure your seed grain and po-
tatoes from some neighbor who lives
on a clay farm, and vice versa. II you
live on a hill, get your seed from tb|
lowlands: if on the prairie, from 7
timber. Do this and take pains to thor
oughly clean your seed so that only the
best of the kind shall be sown, and YOU
will be astonished at the results.
There is q good dea! of j~ustifiable
Kicking in regard to the fuel question
this winter and not a little annoyance
and distress resulting, yet we recall
other days, pioneer days on the from
tier, when the question of a fuel sup
ply was no joke, when n had a drive
from five TO ten miles across a trackless
prairie to get a load of green wood to
burn and run the risk of a blizzard
overtaking him before he could get
home. We recall one particular load
of wood which we tried to haul home
under these conditions which tipped
over with us no less than six times in
the effort to get it home. We did not
then even have the satisfaction of being
| able to cuss the coal trust.

though always modest ana unassuming.
Ills honesty Of purpose was recognized
by all and none more 50 than by those
who failed to agree with him upon any
public question. He never sought po-
litical honors, but was twice chosen to
represent Brutteboro in the legislature.
Although representing the minority party
i'm that body he was one Of the strongest
and most influential members, his opin-
ions carrying great weight at all times.
DR.. Cpnland has gone to his long rest in

Cuiheen and Murphy at Brockton.

Guiheen comes to the forefront of the
picture because he was the real goods
yesterday as a batsman. He made three
runs and brought in the other two by
cracking a homer over the left field
fence with two men on bases, and he hit
safely on two other occasions. In the
field the ball came viciously at him on
almost every shot, but he gathered
everything in pretty style except in the
ninth, when in the darkness he blundered
on a high fly. His work on the ground
ers was pretty. Capt. Connie Murphy
was behind the bat and was in excellent
form, equal to all the needs of the hour
