A Trees Masonry Heart.

Considerable interest attaches to the
cement filling in the trunks of the
great oaks near ST. Charles avenue.
and many questions have been asked
about this method of arreSting the de-
cay of trees.
Horticulturists have found that they
have been able to prevent limbs from
decaying by wrapping them in cloth.
This helps to exclude the dampness.
Carrying their experiments one point
further it was found that cement
would preserve the trunks of trees
from rotting. just as a filling in
tooth prevents further decay.
The question arose last year as to
what would be done to preserve the
great oaks at Audubon Park. which
were losing their growth and verdure
by reason Of big holes in their trunks.
and it was accordingly decided to fill
the apertures with cement. Several
carloads of sand. mortar and brick
were used in the operation, which has
been attended with great success. Old
oaks regained their strength. new
branches began to grow and altogeth-
er they put on signs Of renewed life.

since been perfected to such an
extent that even a new bark can be
given to tree. 1t is proposed at
some future date to cover the filling
with layer of cement the color Of
the oaks bark, which can be so work
ed as to resemble a natural covering
1t Is said that this will preserve the
tree even better than will ordinary
cement. while AT the same time it will
add to its beauty by hiding the mortar

4 GREAT SEED BOOK.
Ferry's 100. Seed Annual Now
Ready for Free Distribution.

Ferry's great Seed Book is now
ready for distribution. This is the
book that every farmer wants and
waits for. 1t makes no difference
what other catalogues are received,
farmers are not satisfied until they
get Ferry's, because it contains bet
ter and fuller information.
Ferry's Seed Annual, in fact, is
really more than catalogue 1t
differs from the usual seed cata-
logue inasmuch as it really helps
each farmer or gardner to choose in
telligently the varieties best suited
TO his particular needs. The wise
selection Of varieties results in big
ger, better paying crops. The ex-
perience gained in fifty years of sue
cessful seed growing is thus at Your
command.
For freshness, purity and relia-
bility Ferry's seeds are in a class by
themselves. They are known all
over the land, and farmers every
where have confidence in the name
of Ferry, and know for a certainty
that their seeds can be relied upon
They know that every package has
behind it the reputation of a house
whose business standards are the
highest in the trade.
Just drop postal TO p. VI. Ferry
& Co., Detroit, Mich, and they will
send you copy of their 1907 Seed
Annual. It's absolutely free.

Dairy School at Pullman.

PULLMAN, Dec. 3.-Announce-
ment is made of the opening of the
eleventh annual session of the dairy
school at the State College of Wash
ington. beginning January 7. 1907
This popular school has always been
well attended and under the ar
engagements for the coming session
those purposing TO attend will find
it of unusual value While the
original idea of the dairy school is
to train butter makers and creamery
manufacturers, it must not be un-
derstood that these are the only OBJ
jects in view. The school, as plan
ned for 1907. contemplates special
work for dairymen. 1t is recognized
that the foundation of successful
dairying must be found in a clear
idea of dairy farming. Accordingly,
special effort will be made to give
practical instruction in the manage
ment of dairy farms. This will in
clude the handling and care Of stock
and also the many phases of milk
production as they are presented in
Washington. The instruction given
the creamery men and cheese max
ers will be as complete as before. and
it is hoped that with enlarged facili-
ties both in equipment and teach
ing force an increased number Of
students will take advantage Of the
opportunities offered.
Circulars giving full information
will be gladly sent on application
and correspondence will all who may
be contemplating attending is de-
sired. Address all inquiries to F. +.
Nader, Registrar, or to E. E. Ell
lott, Professor of Agriculture.
