PLACING THE TREE.

ging hole for tree without moving
the tripod. 1t might be possible if the
tripod were so large as to give ample
room for the operation of digging In
such a case it would be too unweildy
to move easily.
Lowering a weight down by the side
of the trunk to ascertain when the tree
is in the right place is likely to prove
somewhat tedious if there are any
branches on the tree to interfere The
accompanying diagram shows what has
proved to be most satisfactory device
for getting the tree exactly where the
stake originally stood. 1t consists of
a board perhaps six feet long with a
hole in either end and a deep notch in
the middle.
The land in which the trees are to
be planted is first laid off in rows with
a small stake where each tree is to
stand The board just described is
placed on the ground so that the notch
fits over the stake. small stake is
driven through each of the holes in
the ends of the board The board is
removed and the hole dug for the tree.
While this is being done the measur-
ing board may be used to set the guide
stakes for other holes.
When everything is ready to set the
tree, put the board back in place again,
place the tree in the hole 40 that 1t
fits in the notch, and fill in the soil
The result will be that the tree stands
Just where the original stake did
If planting is being done on a large
scale, there may be a half dozen or
more of the measuring boards. If they
are all of the same dimensions it will
make no difference whether or not the
same one is used in setting the tree
that was used when the guide stakes
were set. c. Sears, in Orange Judd

Bacterial Content of Cheese.

In report from the Ontario Expert
ment station on study of the bacterial
content of cheese are presented figures
that indicate the amount of work these
little organisms do in the predigesting
Of this food product. According to this
report the number of bacteria present
are usually largest when the cheese is
but day or two old. The products de-
veloped by the germs, being detrimental
to their own existence, cause them gradu-
ally to deminish in number The num-
Der of germs found in one sample only
two days old was 17,S54,447, SEQ per
ounce Of cheese.

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very High.
~ Favored.

An interesting feature Of Western
Canada is it's climate. Those who
have made study of it speak highly
OF 1t. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, aud
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates,
etc, to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel
lent The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1900 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. 1t is very desirable alti-
tude. The country has very equable
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the sum-
mers are pleasantly warm. r. f. Stu
part, director of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
THE salient features of the climate
'of the Canadian northwest territories
"are clear, bracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part of the year, and
"a medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is sc, and Prince Albert g. The
former temperature is higher than at
"any part of England, and the latter
rs very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum As. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the crops
come to maturity quickly
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. 1t is notable that about rs per
cent. of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, Billiards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.

Mr.. Beals Compliments Local Observer

Edward A. Beals, district forecaster
at Portland for the government weather
bureau department, writes to d, n,
Byerlee, voluntary observer for Hood
River, as follows;
"Nour form is among the neatest re,
ceived at this office and there is no ne
cessity for recopying it, In fact it is not
a good plant to copy at all as we desire
the record to be original ,and thus lessen
the possibility of errors which are apt to
creep In when a copy is made.
"lhe descriptive matter you furnished
for the Monthly Summary was excel
lent and regret that lack of space pre-
vented the using of more OF it, We will
be pleased to furnish you with hund-
red extra copies when issued, free of ex-
pense."
These complimentary remarks from
torecaster Beal are no doubt gratifying
to Mr.. Byerlee, They go to show that
Hood River has one of the most careful
observers in the state. The weekly
summary OF Hood River weather pre-
pared by MIR, Byerlee and published
each week in the Glacier at the head Of
the local column furnishes accurate
data to Eastern readers on the weather
here, which is regarded as an import
ant factor by immigrants in seeking a
new location.
The monthly reports are also valuable
1t would be well for Glacier readers to
pre- -erve these reports. They will come
