Heading of Shade Trees.

How shade tree should be headed
will depend on its location. If it is
on the edge of the lawn out of the
way of passing teams and people, it
may be headed low. Some of the most
beautiful trees on the edges of lawns
are those that have their limbs almost
on the ground, but in other situations
it is better to head trees high, both that
they may have more beauty and that
the lawn under them may be pre-
served. says the Farmers Review.
The head of the tree should in nearly
all cases be kept thinned out sufficient
Iy to permit the passage of rays of
light; otherwise many of the inside
limbs will die. A mistake in this mat
ter has often resulted in trees or parts
Of trees being killed.

ADVICE ON PLANTING TREES
Simple Rules Which Should Be OBJ
served If the. Tree Is to Be
Given Fair Chance.

How to plant tree is something
that every farmer should know. AS
yet we see many farms in this west
ern country that would be very much
better off with more trees.
In digging up tree keep the spade
edge toward the trunk or ball of the
tree. This way does not injure the
roots so badly. Move as much dirt
with the tree as possible. Set lit
tie deeper than it was before, see that
the roots are spread out even in the
hole. Tramp the dirt firmly and put
a liberal amount of straw around it
for mulching. If the season is dry it
is necessary to put a pail or two Of
water around the root every evening.
If the tree is tall it is advisable, says
the Prairie Farmer, to drive or set
something of the post kind to tie
it or the wind will spoil your tree.
Many trees are killed the first season
in this way.
AS for cutting back the top, it de-
ponds on how much you have cut off
the roots. AS the roots feed the top,
a man must here use his own judg-
ment. If tree dies, don't be discour-
aged, but try it again.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

A nurseryman gives this advice:
"Don't plant out trees unless you in.
tend to care for them, for they never
will amount to anything. and you will
have all your work for nothing"
Buy spraying outfits early.
Take care of your orchard and your
orchard will take care of you.
A bolt put in now may save nine
bushels of fruit later. Split trees and
dangerous crotches need attention.
Bolts are cheap. Use 'em!-Farm and
Home.
Americana plums ought to be
studied by all fruit growers living
west of the great lakes and north of
a line drawn through central Illionis,
east and west. These plums are very
suitable to this great region, more so
than many other varieties. There
are probably 100 varieties of Ameri-
cana plums of good quality and of
commercial value.

Small Farm the Home Farm.

William Smythe in his book on the
conquest of arid America says: The
great farmer of California is the sue
cessor of the gold hunter. Both were
spectators. Both looked with con-
tempt upon the matter of making a
living and dreamed only of making a
fortune OF homes and institutions
they were neither the architects nor
the builders. They sought only To
take the wealth from the soil and
spend it elsewhere. The miner leaves
nothing to commemorate the place
where he gathered gold save ths
crumbling novels and Empty tin
cans. The 5,00O-acre wheat farmer
leaves no monument beyond fields OF
repuisive stubble and the sAanties OF
his ''hoboes."

NAMING RURAL HIGHWAYS.
Boards Of Supervisors in Some Sec
tons of Country Active in
This Matter.

In certain sections of the country,
boards of supervisors are actively pro-
noting the naming of rural highways
In addition to sanctioning the laudable
custom the county legislators are APP
propriatlng funds for the erection Of
road signs at the intersections of high
ways giving the names of the various
ROADS. The plan is the same that has
been IN vogue in our leading cities for
many years.
Ihere is everything to favor the nam
ing OF rural roads and posting signs at
the corners indicating the names of the
lntersecting highways. There is moth
ing against the plan so far as can be
seen, other than the necessary insignifl-
cant expense of erecting and maintain
ing the necessary road signs.
Highways can be easily and appro-
prlately named. Perhaps no better
means could be adopted than using the
names of pioneers of the particular re-
glon. Where the surnames of old set
tiers cannot be agreed upon, some dis
tinctive feature of the particular high
instance, if there is difficulty in agree
ing upon the relative claims of the
pioneer Brown, Jones or Smith families,
some characteristic term like the Val
ley Road, - Cliff Road" or River Road"
can be pressed into service. When a
highway leads Enthusiastically through a
town it might be called the Harrington
road"
Not only would the practice of official
ly naming highways prove to be con-
venience to travellers, remarks tho
Prairie Farmer, but the custom would
add pleasing charm to every locality.
There are so many reasons why the
farmer should enjoy every convenience
possible that we feel that this well-rec-
ognized city custom to this extent could
be most appropriately established.

The Coffee Debate.

erly educated physician, chemist and
food expert.
Please remember we never say ordl-
nary coffee hurts everyone.
Some people use it regularly and seem
strong enough to Withstand its attacks,
but there is misery and disease in store
for the man or woman who persists in
its use when nature protests, by heart
weakness, stomach and bowel troubles.
kidney disease, weak eyes, or general
nervous prostration. The remedy is OBJ
vious. The drug caffeine, contained In
all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued
absolutely or the disease will continue In
spite of any medicine and will grow
worse.
1t is easy TO leave off the old-fashioned
coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee,
for in it one finds pleasing hot break
fast or dinner beverage that has the deep
seal brown color, changing to a rich
golden brown when good cream Is added.
When boiled long enough (15 minutes)
tle flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee
but very like the milder, smooth and
high grade Java, but entirely lacking
the drug effect of ordinary coffee.
Anyone suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive variety can absolutely depend
upon some measure of relief by quitting
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea-
son expect it to disappear entirely in
reasonable time after the active cause
of the trouble is removed and the Gel
lular tissue has time to naturally re-
build with the elements furnished by
Postum and good food.

and it may be well worth your while to

STILL THEY COME.

Since the Republican state press
began discussing the necessity for
state supervision and examination of
public accounts about six months ago,
county commissioners of severae
counties have undertaken to check
up things little. The latest county
heard from is Bent, where a book
keeping snarl and "a shortage in the
treasurer's accounts are reported, and,
as usual. the peculations, it is said,
cover a period of several years. The
utter folly of permitting this slip
shod method of supervising accounts
to continue must be apparent to ev-
cry sane citizen. Local supervision
of accounts has proven a costly tiz-
zle. The Ohio remedy-a state bur
eau of inspection and supervision OF
all public accounts-is badly needed

In recent letter-from London, II is
stated that the bulk of the shares of
the Camp Bird mine are now neld for
dividends and speculation with them
is confined to very narrow limits. AS
a result there have been but few
transfers of the shares. The prob
able reason for this is given in the
letter which says that there was in
the treasury at the time of the acci-
dent 10000 pounds, or approximate
ly 100000.
Just short time previous to the
accident dividend of "a cents
share was declared and paid. What
little stock is being sold in the Lon
don market is going for about $3.50
although it is believed that it will
rise in price in just a short time.
