THE BARK OF TREES.
Mattress Provision, For the Relief of
 the Growing Plant.

The practical cultivator understands that nature makes provision for getting rid of the bark of trees as the trunk inc creases in size. On the growth of the past season may be seen small olive spots. These are formations of cork. From year to year, in subsequent de velopment, these little patches spread, really eating their way through the bark This is the provision which na- ture makes for finally rifting the bark in each species of plant. These cork cells have their own special lines of de-
 velopment and this is the reason why each kind of tree has its own particular bark. The characteristics are so prom inent that clever observers can select different kinds of trees by their bark even at midnight. As if is f'hA avi6nnf

intention of nature to get rid of old bark, it Is a great help to the tree to as- sist nature in this respect. and any wash or treatment which aids the plant in getting rid of 1t is a prac- tical advantage. Soapy water wash or lye water Is useful, and even scrabing has been found of great advantage. Tn a rough sort of way lime wash is frequently used, the only objection be- ing the white and glaring color. It is, however, the cheapest and the best of all bark treatment.

 One plotafter another has failed to legally murder these men however the plotters have gained experience 1t seems and the mind that refuses to be carried away in the excitement and steadily looks at the evidence and all the circumstances surrounding this af- fair can see the ear marks of deep laid conspiracy on the part of the Mine Owners Association to make good their threat and carry out their edlct as made public at Cripple Creek, June IA, 1904, from which the following are but few samples:
 "The source of all strife in the Grip pie Creek district has been the West ern Federation of Miners and the Trades Assembly which they dominat- ed.
 There Is no room in Teller county for these two organizations and their existence will no longer be tolerated.
 "The tax payers are determined.
 And while they have no wish to work hardship on any person simply because of his membership in a labor union nevertheless drastic measures must and will be adopted"
 Then to appear to modify these statements somewhat they say:
 "Unions of the various crafts already organized will not be interferred with as to their loc l or international affilia- ton provided the Trades Assembly be forthwith disbanded and no similar boy cottng agency be organized; provided furtner that SuCn union or the loCal crafts have not for their national or in- ternational utilization the Western Fed eration of Miners, The American La Dor Union or the State Federation of Labor or any kindred organization.
