Native Everqreens.

The use of evergreens for winter
foliage effect is widely appreciated
says c. H. Ramsdell For this pur-
pose the native pines, spruces, frs,
| cedars and hemlocks are available.
Pines can be grown on almost any
soil. If the white pine will not do
we'll, then the Norway might, and, as
a last resort, the Jack pine can be
depended upon: The spruce is very
effective as a specimen tree for the
lawn. The red cedar and hemlock give
a denser foliage effect than the pines
and spruces, and therefore can be
used for backgrounds. In some locali-
ties of this latitude wisconsin, the
arbor vitae grows native, and, as an
evergreen hedge, its use can hardly
be equaled. A sandy bank might be
covered with growth of native juni-
per 70 good advantage. But in plant
ing this kind of trees, a few are usu-
ally all that are necessary. as thew
give somber effect if too close to
buildings and are unhealthful there
also.
To the lover of the woods, a wild
garden is just as interesting as the
usual one containing the standard fav-
orites. One can, with little labor,
grow at home in some protected cor
ner such plants as the tullium, blood
root, violet. lady's- slipper, and later
the golden rod, wild sun-hower and
aSter. In fact, the golden rod and
wild sun-dower are so easily cult
waited that they are useful as a border
to larger shrub beds. Thus they add
color at time when leaves are dull
and rather the worse for the summers
heat and drouth. In any shady cor
ner a collection Of native ferns is in
teresting and instructive as well. Thus
one can avoid the trouble from grass
being shaded out.

Site for the Apple Orchard.

The site for the orchard should gen.
orally be on a: slope, SO that the roots
OF the trees shall not stand in the
water. 1t is an old saying that the
,leet' of the apple tree must not be in
the wet Or it will not do WE'LL" An
exception may be made to this rule
for the territory known as the arid
peie' as the water in the soil there il
never enough naturally to damage the
tiees' and where irrigation is prac-
ticed ooth the water supply and the
drainage" are under control. If for
any reason a level piece of land has
TO ne selected it must be we'll drained
II 1t is in q humid region. A neglect
OF this important point often means
failure, and there are thousands of
unprohtable orchards to-day standing
with their feet in soil so wet that
they can never give a good account of
themselves.
IN some cases drainage is natural
the SOIL being underlaid by stratum
OF gravel that carries off the water.
Or course this is the best possible ar
rangement and cannot be equalled BY
anything that man can do. We have
seen orchards on slopes and yet on
ground that was too wet for the hest
results, no matter how we'll drained.
Even though the land be a slope if
the surface is not more than three Or
tour feet above a pond level the water
Will be constantly drawn up through
the soil in such quantities that the
roots OF the trees will not be able to
get the amount of air they need.
The higher the hill, within rea.
sonable limit, the better, as the air
drainage will be better. This may
seem small matter, but it not infre-
quently happens that killing frosts
come in the valleys when they do not
touch the trees on the tops or sides
OF hills. The critical time is when the
blossoms are out in the spring. In
the lower places the frosts catch and
destroy the blossoms, while on the
higher places they do not touch
them hard enough to be deadly. It
is sometimes only the difference of q
degree or two that settles the question
of fruit or no fruit.
When an orchard is set out on land
that is surrounded by higher land on
all sides or even on three sides. the
water drainage is almost certain to be
bad and the air drainage is also bad,
A northern slope is looked upon as
the best that can be selected for an
apple orchard; for the reason that the
trees on such slope will blossom
later than on the southern slope and
the blossoms will not be. so likely to
be AFFECTED by the late frosts in the
spring.

Caught Fish and Fishinu Rod.

e. c. Goddard of this city, who has
been resticating on his farm in the
White Salmon and passing his leisure
in trout fishing, made a rather. re-
Markable catch the other day. Owing
to the weather, fish lies have not been
as numerous as usual this season, and
the public hunger for them may be
temporarily assuaged by true tale
Mr.. Goddard, while fishing in favor
tie pool of more than ordinary size
and depth, hooked a fine trout, which
made most desperate fight for life
and liberty. 1t was nearly half an
hour before the fish could be brought
near enough to get even a glimpse of
him, and then it was seen that not
only was it whopper, but that an
ether of fair size had been hooked on
one OF the choppers. On this Mr. God
dard went to work patiently and
carefully to line out the fish in hope
to land them both in safety. He was
just an hour and half doing this, and
then found that the big trout was II
inches in length and that the other
was attached to another line and two
joints of a fishing rod which it had
pulled away from some one, and which
had become entangled with his tackle.
He is anxious to learn what has be-
come of the owner of the joints and
line he found, and of the butt. both of
which he fears may be at the bottom
OF the pool.-Portland Oregonian.

pnericans Greatest Meat Eaters.

Despite the fact that the census re-
ports show that Americans are steadi-
ly drifting toward vegetarianism, we
are still the greatest meat eaters in
the world. Our meat still costs us
every year $1Q0,000,000 more than our
vegetables, including imported vege-
table foods. In the aggregate we
Americans pay every year about ST.
250,000,000 for food, or about $50 a
year (for the raw food) for each per-
son.
In addition to the foregoing it may
interest yol to know that among the
meat foods the egg bill ($143,3OO, OO0)
is greater than that for any other item
except cattle ($432,600,OOO) and sheep
($17Q, 10000, and that the bill for
milk, butter and cheese ($122,000, 0GO)
is nearly four times as large as that

Professional Insect Killers.

A report of the United States De:
partment of Agriculture says: It may
often happen that the amount of work
in a community is sufficient to in
duce one or more persons to under
take the treatment of plants at a Civ
en- charge per tree or per gallon of the
insecticide employed. Where this is
the case, and the contracting parties
are evidently experienced and capa-
bic, it is frequently more economical
in the end to employ such experienced
persons, especially when a guarantee
is given, rather than attempt to do
the work ones self with the attending
difficulty of preparing insecticides
and securing apparatus for work on
a comparatively small scale. In Cali
fornia this is common practice, and
also in some of our Eastern, cities. and
has worked excellently.
