PLANT SOME GOOD TREES.
Elm, Catalpa and Locust Are Rapid
Growers and Require 1ut
Little Care.

The American or white elm is large
tree and when full grown often attains
height of 100 feet ana trunk diam
eter OF six feet. 1t forms round or
broad and spreading top. T. is rapid
grower ID adapts itself we'll to all
kinds Of Loils. The tree is hardy, seldom
attacked by insects and diseases and
casts an deal shade. It is a first-class
tree to plant about the house and yard.
The catalpa is rapid growing tree,
often attaining a height of 60 feet and
a trunk diameter Of three to four feet.
1t grows best on deep rich soil and
satisfactory growth can seldom be Sc
cured on light, thin SOL In pure
planting the trees will completely shade
the ground in three or four years. 1t
sprouts well from the stump, when the
trees are cut in the winter.
There are two species of catalpa,
catalpa speciosa, commonly called har-
dy, or western catalpa, and catalpa
catalpa, commonly called southern
catalpa. The western catalpa is tall
upright tree with but few large branches.
1t requires close planting to develop
good trunk. The southern catalpa is a
low growing tree with broad top.
These characteristics are Influenced by
soil and location. On poor soil in open
planting, both kinds form low, branch
ing heads. The western catalpa as q
rule produces only one to three seed
pods in cluster. and each pod is from
IA to 20 inches long and one-haf inch
in diameter. The southern catalpa pro-
duces from four to eight pods in a
cluster, end each pod is from eight to
ten inches long; the seeds are small and
tapering at the end.
Black or yellow locust grows rapid
~ and attains height of GO feet and
trunk diameter of three feet. The top
Is of good form with a main central
stem when grown in close paintings but
1t frequently branches and forms a
large round head when grown in the
open. 1t grows fastest when set In
mixed paintings but does not form as
good a trunk. It usually grows more
rapidly than the other trees and
branches and spreads over the tops of
other trees. It casts poor shade and is
slow to occupy the ground to the ex-
clusion Of other plants, and sprouts Wig
orously from the stump and roots broken
by the pillow or spade.-Midland Farmer.

FIXING PRICE OF POETRY.
The Only Way Of Deciding What the
Real Article fo~ Magazine
Use Il.

The great magazine editor was wrapped
IN thought and cigar smoke. To him came
an assistant editor with poem, relates
the Chicago Post.
This seeing to have passed the usual
test, said the assistant.
Have ! read it," asked the editor
WAS ! able to make anything of it,"
Then accept it, of course"
but how much shall we pay for it,"
The great editor increased the cloud of
Thought and cigar smoke.
Have you read it," he asked, at last.
Eyes"
Were you able to make anything out
of it,"
NO"
Looks as # it might be pretty valuable,
doesn't it? How many of our manuscript
readers have tackled it,"
Six"
Gould any of them make out what the
poet was driving att"
well, Robinson thought he got glim-
mering idea of the underlying meaning"
THAT takes $40 off the price SAID the
editor. Just figure it up according to the
usual methodist added for every man
who couldn't understand it and $40 deduct
ed for every man who could. We've got to
pay good prices for good poetry, and
there is only one way to decide what has
real magazine merit"

Recipe for Grating Wax.

I will give formula for wax which
I have used for years in grating and
find it satisfactory: Ros1n, six pounds;
beeswax, one pound; linseed oil, one
pint Put rosin in iron vessel and when
melted add beeswax. Bring nearly to
boil, then add the oil, stir well to mix.
While cooling pour out in vessels and
cake same as you. would maple sugar.
What is not wanted Immediately can be
laid by for future use. To soften the
wax use tepid water. When soft pull
same as taffy. If weather is cool when
Used keep wax in warm or tepid water.
This wax will not crack in the coolest
weather and the hot days of summer
will not make it run.-P. w. Smoke, in

LOOKS WERE AGAINST HIM.
The Order Was Given in Words That
Admitted Of Wrong Inter-
probation.

The train on which the distinguished.
citizen was travelling for the purpose Of
fulfilling a lecture engagement was late,
and he arrived at his destination only
an hour or two before the time appoint
ed for the meeting.
He went straight to hotel and was
shown up to his room, relates the Chicago
Tribune.
He was tired and dusty.
Boy" he said, bring me wbisk."
The boy went to execute the mission,
and a few moments later committee
from the local society under whose aus.
pieces he was to appear called upon HIM
in his room.
He was comforting with the committee
when the boy returned, bearing a tray
containing glass of water and small
glass with red liquid in it,
whats this?" he demanded.
Its the whisky you ordered, sir"
Il didn't order any whisky" he gasped.
II ordered whisk broom!"
But every member of the committee
representing the Turkeyville Total Alb
stinence society will believe to his dying
day that the distinguished lecturer got
exactly what he had ordered on that &C.

outwitting the Wireworms.

This is how farmer got ahead of
the wirewoTms: Several years ago he
broke up an old meadow and planted 1t
in corn, but the wireworms destroyed
all the young plants. He replanted, but
to no avail, and could not get stand
that year. The next year he planted
the field again. but the corn was ruined.
The third year. by the advice of an old
farmer, he let the ground remain un-
broken until the LIST of May, then
plowed deeply and cross-h4rrowed He
then put on common salt, sowing 1t
broadcast, as he would have sown grass
seed, at the rate of two-thirds of bar
rel per acre. He again cross-harrowed
and planted the corn upon the sailed
ground the first year and the one fol-

the posts SO as to provide double trel-
lis.
Do not use wire netting for the trel-
lis. 1t is very expensive. the wires tend
to burn the. vines during midsummer
and it is very troublesome to remove the
vines from it after they have died down
in autumn.
Two balls of ordinary gardeners
punching twine, at cents each, will
make a trellis 6 feet high and rs to 80
feet long. Nails are driven into the
boards at top and bottom of frame, also
on the posts, 6 inches apart, letting
them project about three-quarter inches.
Those in the top board should be driven
SO as to slant upward; the ones on the
bottom board to slant downward. while
the ones on posts should slant outward.
A study of the accompanying diagram
will show how the trellis is woven

Dust Spray or Liquid Spray.

The contest is still on between the
dust spray and the liquid spray. In
Illinois and other states to the east
and north the dust spray has made
little advance; but has obtained a
good share of the attention of the
orchardists in Missouri and west, The
men that stick to the liquid spray say
that with the liquid it is possible to
get uniform spraying material, but
that there is no possible way of get
ting the poisonous substances equally
distributed through dust. We will
have to wait little and see how this
problem is to be settled by the dust
sprayers. The men in favor of the
dust spray say that they can take adj
vantage of tie dew on the trees in
the morning. and this saves the haul
ing of a great amount of water over
the ground, especially after rains, when
the ground is too soft to be driven on.

Abundance Of Waste Land.

Perhaps few people realize how large
a portion OF the land in many of our
states is unsuited to agriculture. In
urging a large increase in the work Of
reforestation by our government Dr. r.
Roth, before the American Forestry as
ISOLATION, pointed out that even in the
older states, where presumably about
all the titled area has been developed.
there is yet large proportion of tho
land uncultivated. In Maine the uncut
tivated portion amounts to SO Per cent
of the total. In Massachusetts, It
amounts to ~ per cent, in Pennsylvania
to IS per cent, and in "Old Virginia" to

SOME RoAD-MAKING HINTS.
While National Agitation Is Going On
Some Practical Work Might
Well Be Done at Home.

The air is full of talk about good
roads 1t is good roads, good roads"
everywhere you go. But isn't it about
time something practical was coming to
pass? All talk with no results amounts
to nothing, so let us get down to the
root of the matter. How are we really
to have good roads? Well, have seen
many plans tested. but this is the best of
all: Make good, deep bitches on each
side of the road to carry of all water.
In digging the bitches, throw all dirt
into the road and add enough from 9TH
er sources to elevate the roadbed to
good height above the bitches. The
roadbed should be 10 feet wide and
should be highest in the center and
sloping slightly each way so as to drain
all water into the bitches. Cut down
the hill and fill up the hollows. AS
railroad company had rather pull train
four miles over level road than half
mile up steep grade so it is vast deal
better to observe this rule for wagon
roads. And now to make the roads per-
manently good gravel them good. Bet
ter macadamize them if at all practical.
But at least gravel, and that with thor
oughly good gravel. II parts need TIL
ing be sure to tile them and do this
properly. Let every hours work be
well done. There is vastly more truth
than poetry in the old adage that what
Is worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll" Fill up all small ruts when they
first appear. 1t is much easier done then
than when foot deep. Besides, it might
save a wagon or a buggy wheel from
being broken or horse from being
crippled. It might even save human
beings limb or even his life.-T. e.
