PLANTING A FRUIT TREE.
The Method Has Much to Do with Its
Subsequent Development
and Growth.

Multitudes of fruit trees are annu-
ally lost by being incorrectly planted.
The careless man loses more trees
than any other man simply because he
tries to save trouble in the work OF
planting. He saves work in preparing
the ground for the tree The worst
method is quite commonly followed,
which is to merely dig big hole in
soil that has been for long time un-
disturbed. The soil in the hole is
loose, and soil around the sides and
on the bottom is hard packed. Often
this hard packing is made worse by
the men getting into the hole and
tramping it while shoveling out the
dirt. This virtually ''puddles" the bot
tom II the soil be moist and this rem
ders it almost imperyious to water
Stock ponds are made water tight IN
that way.
When the tree is set in the hole and
the dirt filed in. the conditions are
ripe for the killing of the tree at the
first heavy rain. The hole becomes n
sort of sink in which the water re-
mains. Air cannot get to the roots of
the tree and hence no food can be ia
ken into the system of the tree.
When the warm days come, the tree
sends out its leaves. which are deveI-
oped from the latent plant food stored
up in the tree from the previous year
hut no new food gets in. as the roots
are immersed in water. After little
time the leaves on the tree begin to
wither. and this owner wonders what
is affecting the tree In another
month the tree is dead
The right way to plant tree. says
Farmers Review, is to prepare all the
g-ound by stirring it up thoroughly
and providing some way to let on the
water. Frequently the slope OF the
ground will do this. if the trees are
not placed in mere holes With the
ground well stirred up the water that
falls will not collect around the trunks
OF the newly set trees, and the soil
will not be for any long time saturated
with water.
Trees should not be set too deep.
Some seem to think that the deeper a
tree is set the better. but most trees
send out their roots near the surface
OF the ground. 1t is allowable to set
& tree one or two inches deeper than
it was in the nursery row. as the
ground Is sure to settle some around

MUCH NEED FOR cAReFuLNEss
Beekeepers and Newspaper Men on
Common Ground.

At a recent convention of beelieep-
ers in Jenkintown. Pa. Archibald II.
Mayhem of Sunbury held hundreds OF

little insects to wander at will through
his hair and beard. Some even got
up his sleeves and down his shirt
without causing him any inconve'
nience.
But" said Mr.. Mayhem. bee-covered
and smiling. Il could not conduct this
startling exhibition with any but eau
casian bees. A novice at Bookkeeping
if he should attempt to initiate me
with an ordinary species would take
his life in his hands. Bee-keeping, as
a matter of fact, is pretty dangerous
matter for uniformed persons to take
up. An ignorant, reckless beekeeper
at large among lot of valuable hives
is apt to do himself and them as much
harm as an ignorant. reckless answers
to correspondents man will do to his
newspaper and its subscribers"
Mr.. Mayhem paused, brushed hall
dozen bees from his mustache and
resumed:
Perhaps you have never considered
how important a post the answers to
correspondents man holds on a news
paper. To such man the people
come with all their troubles-lawsuits,
illnesses, worries, fears, wrongs, every
thing.

safe, as he supposes, in his fraudulent
claim, because he thinks his wronged
brother is dead He is the exact
image of the cashier, as we all know,
and he was received by Grovedale
people with open arms. His extra
ordinary nerve, ingenuity, and fertil-
ity of resource carried him through
various tests and examinations. and
he was installed in the place of the
true and lawful owner and tenant OF
the Hamilton estate. But there was
one, gentlemen, who did not receive
him. 1t was Mrs. Hamilton. She
could not believe he was her husband
and what testimony is better than
that of a wife who for seven years
lived with him and came to know all
his ways, his movements. his tricks
of manner, everything which goes to
make up personality. which we all
know does not consist entirely OF
features, height, voice, complexion
Personality is of a more subtle,
elusive nature. 1t may elude recogni-
tion by all except the more intimate
friends. In this case 1t evaded all but
that of the wife, the true, loving wom-
an who, through all would not be
cheated by false resemblance"
Then in a low, impressive voice Mr..
Morley broached the matter OF physi-
cal odor which, exhaled from the ma
terial body, enables a dog to distin-
guish his master from all other per-
sons. Lost children, slaves. fugitives
from Justice have been tracked by this
physical odor, so powerful and unmis-
taxable as to cling to articles OF
clothing worn by the person. Many
people have the sense of smell strong
ly developed, as others have that OF
sight. taste, hearing; and Mrs. Hamil-
ton was thus highly endowed, he
said.
Then the plaintiffs counsel went on
to speak of the shot fired al his client
in the grounds fraudulently held and
occupied by the defendant. which he
attributed to some person interested
in removing him beyond reach Of MAX
ing trouble. We will suppose, said
Mr.. Morley, that Ashley kad at last
recognized the true claimant in Pri-
mus Edes, and that he realized his
own dangerous position, from which
nothing could extricate him but the
death of this man. We will suppose
that he saw him approaching the
Hamilton house and shoots him from
his window and then rushes upon the
scene flinging the pistol one side. and
was there, as we know he was, be-
fore Mr.. Carter could get there. Or
we will suppose that some other per-
son, Solomon Marks, for instance, got
possession of Dan Fry's pistol and
followed Edes, shot him, and diaap-
pe..red down the river.
1T is well known in Grovedale, and
can be proved by half a score of wit
nesses, thai Solomon Marks was
twice closeted with the defendant.
