Profits of the Packers.

There has been great deal CT dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
throw considerable light on this Ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of ST. -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.

The experienced fly fisherman sometimes
uses his knowledge Of this trait in his work.
After he has made the most bea utiful casts
possible and has presented his flies in all

he varies his operations by brin ging his cast

that any trout must know we'll that flies

The silver or soft maple makes a-tree of

moist soil for it's best growth, and upon
dry soil it will fail early.

LAcHINR. Canada. June s.-Curiosity
Is a prominent feature in the makeup OF
brook trout. Not infrequently that same
chara cteristic brings destruction upon
them. In proof of this, consider what is
the most deadly lure made Use Of by fly
fishermen.
No American trout ever in its life saw
any natural fly which was the least bit like
the Parmachenee Belle. Certainly the fish
have no hope of gastrononic satisfaction
based upon experience. Yet at the right
season the last and strongest hopes OF
the angler are built upon it.

Tho collection would not be complete

these the Norway spruce leads in rapidity

It will frequently make from three to four

The spruces may be planted In groupe

without trees the country would present
only bare outlines, with no beauty. The
earth would be monotonous, unnterest-
ina. and, in fact, impossible place in which
to live.
To obtain the fullest satisfaction in plant
ing trees there il need for knowledge OF
their ohara cteristics, OF their habits OF
growth and OF their requirements in soil,
moisture, temperature, light and affilia-
ton one with another.
Trees are as individualistic as persons,
and some will not thrive near others. To
obtain the best growth and development
the soil must be good and we'll supplied
with plant food and also with sufficient
moisture to enable them to appropriate
nourishment readily.
The materials upon which trees live are
in the soil and in the air Their roots of
hairlke fineness penetrate a large sub
soil area from which they take up water
and the food substances in solution which
it contains. These are carried from the
roots to their leaves. through which the
food Is elaborate !, and il then carried back
to the roots and all other parts to supply
the nolrishment necessary for growth.
For this operation large amount OF water
is required. much more than is needed to
supply the potash and other elements,
the surplus water being given on into the
atmosphere through the leaves by trans
piration. In high ruling temperature,
q large tree with full developed foliage viii
take up from the soil over seven tons OF
water during every twenty-four hours for
food elaboration, and by Transportation
pass large proportion OF 1t on into the
atmosphere.
Through the leaves carbolic acid gas Is
taken in from the atmosphere, while o2y-
gen Is also absorbed and given of, and thus
trees become a vital factor In absorbing
impure gases from the atmosphere and Civ
ing off pure oxygen. 1t is highly necessary
that the foliage Of trees be protected from
injury by insects and blights, that this
very important work OF air publication
may be carried on unimpaired.
In planting the grounds Of a country
home it is necessary to consider the area to
be planted. If it is extensive, comprising
many acres to be laid out with trees, a con-
siderable variety may be used but II there
are only few acres, then the kinds should
be fewer in number.
