A man interested in the growing OF
trees will find It instructive to study
the comparative growth OF trees in
forest clumps or in open lawns. He
will find the one no comparison Tor
the other. A tree planted on the lawn
has some light on all sides OF 1t. 1t
probably grows in diameter many
times more rapidly than the tree In
the forest. Trees in the forests are
by nature sown thickly. sometimes
10000 seedlings, a few inches high,
growing on a single acre OF land. In
the course of ~ years most OF these
are killed out and the number is re-
duced to a few thousand, but even
1000 or 900 trees on an acre is &
great many. Four thousand trees on
an acre will give nearly a square yard
to each tree and 1t Is not unusual to
find forests thus thickly planted. In
such a case, however, the tree re-
ceives it's light mostly from the top,
and this accounts for it's slow growth.
The side branches are small, and the
twigs far apart and with scant leaves.
The real head of the tree Is at the
top, and that may expand for only a
few feet in each direction. The mum
Der Of leaves is comparatively small.
The slow growth Of the tree is caused
by the fact that all food for the in
crease of cell structure must first be
elaborated in the leaves, and these
leaves are few. The amount Of work
that a single leaf can do in a season
is extremely limited. 1t is not sur
prising therefore to learn thai the
red spruce tree eighteen inches in
diameter, growing in the forest with
other trees has required $50 years to
reach that size. Men familiar with
the slow growing of forest trees have
been astonished at the rapid develop
ment Of trees planted in the open
Thus, a maple tree given an album
dance of room develops hundreds oil
thousands thrifty leaves on all sides
Sometimes these leaves are so thick
II arrayed that one cannot see
through the branches Of the tree. II
NUT be remembered that each leaf

building, and that this food already
prepared for use by the tree is sent
down in immense quantities every day
during the growing season of the
leaves. This should be a lesson tc
those who wish to have good shade
trees in a few years. 1t does not pay
to crowd shade trees. Give them ar
abundance of room. No maple tree
on a city lawn should be planted near
or than fifty feet to another tree of the
same kind. Elm trees may be planted
somewhat closer, as their branches
are more open and n tree does no
seriously interfere with another tree
in it's development. The man sha
wants a single beautiful tree at som
point in his lawn should plant !
where 1t will have an abundance O
light at all times of the day and /
will then develop symmetrlcally AM
will grow with astonishing rapidly.

SMUT GRASS (sPoRO3ULUs INDICUs)
cattle and horses eat it with evident
relish. TO all appearances 1t is a val
liable grass. All parts Of the plant
are plant and succulent. If it is
closely pastured it sprouts again
quickly and has n long growing sea-
son, lasting from May till the coming
of heavy frosts. 1t usually grows in
low and small tufts. AS yet it has not
been largely cultivated. but scientists
express the belief that it may become
very valuable under cultivation.

Mature Fruit Keeps Best.

1t used to be thought that ap.
plies should he picked just be-.
fore ripening to have them keep
the best. This is shown to be
erroneous by ecent experiments
carried on by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The best
keeping apples and peaches are those
that have attained full maturity and a
coed color, but which are still hard
and firm when picked. The pear
keeps best when 1t is picked after it
has attained full size and before the
yellow has begun to appear on it.

thistles. There is not room enough
for all these, and the wheat is puny.
With some the schemes and plans and
toll and struggle choke the word.
The deceitfulness of riches has left
Rockefeller little of even human love,
affection, devotion. Between good
faith and property many are like the
young man who "Went away sorrow
full because he had great possessions"
Many would have time enough to
pray if they did not have to dance,
and attend wine parties, and theatres,
and keep in the swim of gay society.
Many students could have graduated
if they had not needed SO much time
for checkers, and chess and other
games. Sunday does tine nearer some
good, but the rest of the week has no
room for religion. So there is mans
life in which religion is sick Or is held
in his wife's name, life without much
blessedness here Or much hope of
Heaven.

to do ours" Can [ have good and
honest heart? Yes. Jesus told us to
ask and receive, that God is more
willing to give the Holy Spirit than
we to do good to our children. In
the power of the Spirit given in
answer to prayer, fulfil the word of
the prophet, snake you a new heart"
Such heart will bring abundant fruit
of love, joy, peace, mercy, good
works; and against such fruit there is
no objection.

MINE WORKERS MAKE PROPOSAL
FOR SETTLEMENT OF WAGE
SCALE DISPUTE.
AGREEMENT TO BE FOR TWO YEARS
OPERATORS ASK UNTIL MONDAY
BEFORE REPLYING TO LAT
EST PROPOSAL.

New York, April 6.-The following
statement was issued by President
Mitchell of the miners organization
mt the conclusion of the conference
with the anthracite operators:
THE subcommittee of operators
and miners met at l O'Clock and the
miners submitted the following propo-
,gition:
1.-The committee appointed by the
Shamokin convention of Dec. IA last,
representing the employees OF the Varl-
GUS companies operating the mines,
Washeries and breakers in the anthra-
cite coal region having under consid-
GRAFTON our proposition to you dated
Feb. u, together with your commit
tees proposition Of March 8, which
was a continuation of the award of
the anthracite coal strike commission,
have decided in view of the great pub
lie interest involved aside from those
we represent directly it is our duty to
make some further effort and even
sacrifice Of what we believe justly our
due in the matter Of wages and condi.
tic OF employment IN order that
great public calamity may be avoided.
Therefore, We propose that subject to
the approval of a convention OF an
thracite mine workers, which shall be
called at the earliest date possible,
the differences between us AS stated
in Our propositions and your counter
PROPOSITIONS be referred for determlna-
ton and settlement to board of arbl-
tration composed of the members OF
the present board of Cancellation pro
vided for in the award Of the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, with Judge
George Gray or any person he may ap-
point to act as chairman and umpire.
1.-The decision of this tribunal or
the majority OF members thereof, inso
far as it influences wages, to be effec-
tive from April /, 1906, and to con-
tinue in force until March 81, 1908,
such decision to be final and binding
upon all parties in interest. The en-
ployes of the anthracite mines, wash
cries and breakers to resume work i'm
mediately and to continue at work
pending the decisions Of said boards.
The operators asked for an adjourn
ment to Monday to consider the pro-
posal.

Strayiug to Other Fields.

Poor returns on fruits and vegeta-
bles shipped out of south Texas last
season operated to discourage thou
sands of inexperienced growers so that
membership in many local truck grow
ers' associations has greatly decreased,
says Farm and Ranch. These amateur
truckers are drawn to the light shining
from that will-o' the-Wisp, fifteen cent
cotton, and are willing to throw away
the valuable experience Of last year
in an effort TO make a ten strike" on
cotton. They have forgotten the boil
weeyil and other uncertainties that
doth hedge this king about.

Manure SDreader.

In a recent prize contest American
Agriculturist asked farmers to state
what implements they most needed on
their farms 1t now reports that al
most three out Of every four of the
700 farmers who sent replies to the
question said they wanted a manure
spreader Either they had none, or,
having an old one and recognizing it's
value in labor saving and profit max
ing, they wanted new one. Another
point about this particular implement
Is that the demand for it, as shown in
this inquiry. is relatively as great in
the central west as in the middle or
New England states. The call for gaso
line engines. telephones, ETC., is almost
equally great.

MRS. DoWlE coLLAPsEs.
Wife of Deposed Leader Of Zion City
Fears Serious Conflict.

Chicago, April 6.-Physical collapse
of Mrs. John Alexander Dowie fol-
lowed rumors that the party in favor
of the first apostle" had grown so
strong that a serious conflict between
the two factions in Zion City might
follow the return of her husband.
Friends of Mrs. DoWie say that she
expressed The belief that bloodshed
might result. Early in the day she
fell in a swoon while in her home and
it was feared for time that she had
suffered stroke of paralysis. 1t was
reported later that she is suffering
only FROM severe attack of nervous
prOstration.
The appellate court during the day
by a decision deprived DoWie of $751;
600, which had been left to him by
frederick Sutton, New Zealander.
The heirs of Sutton brought suit to
have the will set aside on the ground
of undue influence and won their case
in the lower court. DoWie appealed
and the court decided against him.

Seven Additional Mines Resume in
Pittsburg District.

Pittsburg, April 6.-Work was re-
Bumed at seven more mines during the
day and the conditions throughout
the Pittsburg district were much i'm
proved Officials of the Pittsburg Coal
company reported 70 per cent of their
mines now in operation. Orders are
again beginning to come in and Chair
man Robbins claims the company is
doing as much business as it can ham

ieyes 10000 men will be at work in
the company pits.
The Independent operators are TAX
ing advantage of the idleness at their
mines to make repairs and clean up.
They say there is plenty of coal

of work in the anthracite and Western
