Moving Large Trees.

A French expert on tree planting re-
ports great success in moving large
trees at night. He takes them up late
in the evening after ten o'clock, moves
them as rapidly as possible, and waters
the soil and the branches bearing the
buds. The results were excellent, only
two Of the large shade trees dying, al
though number Of the species con-
sidered hard to transplant. For the
first fifteen days after transplanting
he advises that the boughs and leaves
of the tree be abundantly sprinkled.

Farm NotcR.

There is no single breed that pos
sesses only good qualities.
A cross-bred animal should never be
chosen as a breeder.
Nothing so surely impoverishes the
farm as the selling of hay.
With improved stock, to insure sue
cess must come improved treatment.
ANY kind Of live stock will depre-
ciate in value when cut short in their
rations.
In hot weather especially horses
subject to collie should be handled
with great care.
Always sift coal ashes before put
ting them in the dust box for the use
of poultry.
All things considered the best place
to put manure is ON a freshly plowed
soil. Haul out as fast as made.
A little care in the matter Of water
ing and feeding horses will prevent
much sickness and consequent loss.
In breeding, other things being
to impress itself upon the progeny.
Every grower should know what is
the paying weight with him, what
weight he can sell to bring him the
greatest profit
An animal of a fixed and long-in-
herited type will control the type Of
the offspring when coupled with an
animal Of ordinary character.
Circumstances and management
have about as much to do in making
mutton-growing profitable as in turn
ing the scale toward profit in any other
farm product.
That kind of husbandry in which
sheep Of some kind do not figure is
lacking in a most substantial means Of
sustaining fertility.
After the harvest work is finished up
is a good time to put in drainage
where needed This is something that
should be done thoroughly and we'll,
and not hurriedly.
In buying a horse reject one with
scraggy hips. They never do credit
to feeding, particularly if also slack
in the loins.
Reject a horse with forelegs not
straight They will not stand wear.
Stand behind the horse as he walks
away from you and you will be able
to notice these defects if they exist.

TRAFFIC SUSPENDED.

During the time the storm was at It's
height traffic was practically at stand
still. Some few trolley cars forced their
way through the flooded streets, the
water surging high about the trucks. and
the swells that receded to the sidewalks
on either side as the cars proceeded were
strongly suggestive OF the curling bow
waves made by the bay steamers as they
cut through the water.
Fortunately the dsluse came at en- hour

slight protection from the storm and the

GREAT DESTRUCTION.

BY far the most memorable September
storms in this vicinity are those OF 1869

wind accomplished fearful destruction be-
tween 4 ana 8 o'clock on the afternoon OF
September g. The wind blew hurricane
from south-southeast and for an hour
spread havoc and devastation on every
side. The tide rose at the extraordinary
rate OF a foot every ten minutes and

shipping and stores OF Providence mer-
