Transportation of Trees.

The Transportation of trees Is the
process Of the tree taking the water
up by its roots, passing it up through
the trunk and branches and into the
leaves, and evaporating 1t into the at
mosphere. The amount of water thus
transpired by trees Is very great.
Even the ordinary tree thus uses sew
eral barrels of water every day. There
are many problems connected with
studied and have not been solved.
One of these is the power of trees to
resist drouth. 1t would naturally be
assumed that the tree that uses the
least water can stand drouth the best.
The actual tests of the matter, how
ever, do not carry out this theory.
One Russian experimenter found that
while maple tree was transpiring
289 pounds Of water, an ash tree,
from the same surface, transpired 399
pounds, 10 pounds more than the
other. This was approximately 80 per
cent. 1t is known, however, that ash
trees stand drouth far better than
udplSS' ploNSS VI dSu trees anu
maple trees that came under the OBJ
servation of this Russian experiment
er were subjected to very severe
drouth conditions in the fall of 1902
and the spring of 1903. Nearly all of
the naples died, while the ash trees
continued their existence and deyel-
oped aormally during the summer and
fall of 1903. This is of great impor-
lance to people living in the semi
arid districts. For some reason the
trees using the greater amount of
water are able to get that water from
greater depths in the soil, and are
able to hold up the cellular structure
of the leaf with less amount of water
than others.-James Gordon, Anderson
Co., Kas.

Brute Trees and Mice.

Every winter in some parts OF the
country great losses are experienced
In the orchards by the ravages OF
mice. 1t Is not unusual to take up
report from state of the United
States, or province of Canada and find
numerous reports of the great havoc
wrought by mice. We noticed while
ago a report from the province OF On.
tario. Among the reports were these.
which were characteristic: from
Glengary: Thousands of fruit trees
have been ruined by mice" From
Carleton: "Ol fruit trees are in fine
condition, but young orchards have
been almost destroyed by field mice"
From Parry Sound: mice were very
destructive last winter and did lot
OF damage to young fruit trees" From
Dufferin: Fruit trees were badly peel
ed by mice during the winter" We
might repeat numerous other reports
OF the same general character. Re-
ports secured from various northern
states of the Union frequently have a
like tenor.
Losses from mice always occur on
young trees, generally trees that are
one or two years old. These little
creatures can do very great amount
or damage because 1t requires but a
very small damage to any one tree to
kill 1t. The mice simply gnaw entire
ly around a tree at the snow line.
They are after the young bark to sat
isfy their hunger. The space gnawed
may not be more than an inch wide,
but 1t means the doom of the tree. 1t
Is no wonder then that a whole orch
ard is sometimes wiped out in a sin.
gle year by these young rodents.
They are especially dangerous where
straw or corn stalks have been placed
arosnd trees, as this makes hiding
place for the mice. Corn stalks are
frequently put around trees to protect
them from sun-scald in winter. The
trees are saved from this injury, but
instead are destroyed by the mice,
Where mice are troublesome, the best
way is to destroy all their hiding
places in the orchards and adjoining
fields. In the west we have few stone
walls to act as protectors of the mice,
and 1t is easier to prevent their raw
ages than in the eastern states where
every farm orchard is protected on
some side by stone wall. Where the
hiding places cannot be destroyed,
some kind of tree protector will have
to be used. One of the best of these
Is shield made of laths bound togeth.
er by wire. This is sunk into the
ground around the tree before the soil
freezes hard in the fall. The wire
lath shield is inexpensive, and any
man can make it. The wires are sim.
ply crossed between each two laths,
and the spaces between any two laths
must not be large enough to permit
the rodents to cut through. We would
like to hear from our readers as to
their methods of protecting their
orchards against mice.

Mark Twain says that during his
career as a pilot, the worst boat on
the Mississippi was the stephen ].
Hill. This boats untidiness was only
equaled by her slowness. Only stran-
gers, only the tenderfoot, used her.
One afternoon, while the boat was
poking along down the river, a thick
fog drifted down, and the Stephen J.
Hill had to heave to for the night.
AS she lay there, swathed In gray, a
passenger said to the captain: ut
is too bad we're going to be late,
captain" 1--WE amt goin' to be late"
the captain answered But thought"
said the passenger, that we had to
tie up here to this bank all night"
so we do" said the captain, but
that amt goin' to make us late. We
don't run so close to time as all that"

Grass Headlands.

Last season we visited fine farm
In one of the great grain raising states
and were particularly pleased with the
appearance of the fields. Flowing had
been carefully done for years, so that
the land was level and smooth and
around each field ran headland
seeded to grass and just wide enough
for team of horses to turn handily
without injuring the standing crop OF
corn. The fences on this farm were
well made and properly kept up, so
that the pillow could be run close up
to each of them il necessary, but this
had been done long since, and grass
now took the place too often occupied
by weeds.
Questioned, the farmer gave 1t as
his opinion that the grass or hay cut
on the headlands paid quite as well
as the crop that would be otherwise
injured by teams and implements, but
his chief reason for adopting grass
headlands was to keep down weeds
and give the farm fine and neat ap.
pearance. Every reader of the paper
must confess that much corn Is tram
pied under the horses feet when cul.
tivating and turning at the ends Of
the fields and that the corn produced
on the edges is often thin and weedy.
Would 1t not be better to devote such
land to the growing of grass and so
render working Of the crop easier and
ut the same time keeping down the
weeds and giving the place tidy ap-
pearance?
Personally we are strongly in favor
of grass headlands. They save time
in entering a grain field with the har-
vester, enable man to drive or walk
around his field on the Sabbath day
tour of inspection, make hedge trim
9ing or fence repairing easier, give a
slightly appearance to the fields and a
luxuriant look to the growing crops,
besides making it an easy matter to
run the mower near the fences and
so destroy weeds that would otherwise
go to seed. We would like to hear
from our readers upon this subject
and are ready to be converted over
again If we have come to a wrong
conclusion relative to the advantages
of having grass headlands around the
fields.-A. S. Alexander in Farmers
Review.

So far ss possible, farming opera
tions should be reduced to an exact
science The old ways of feeding by
guess and even buying and selling by
guess should give way to weighing
and measuring eve-yr1iag. In the
feeding of grains and ground grains,
scales rather than measures shorld
be depended upon. Different kinds ~
grains vary greatly IN sseir weight,
and if a man tries to measure them
out he is sure to give more at one
time than at another. Some of the
brans on the market differ exceeding
ly in this respect Some OF then are
very light, being hardly moro than the
hull of the wheat, while others are
quite heavy and consist largely of
middlings. If man has scales, he
can very easily feed about the same
amount Of food each day, and there
fore. become better informed as to the
requisite food required to produce
certain effect. Scales can now be
bought at very low price, and a few
dollars invested in scales will give
good returns indirectly for many
years to come.
