Planting Trees on Sod Land.
l would say to the man that has just
purchased farm and wishes to set
out apple trees in sod land this spring,
that he can do so easily, as he would
have to prepare his ground anyway be-
fore planting. If had the planting to
do would plow the ground and pre-.
pare it just as would for corn. Then
l would plant my trees, which can be
done as late as the 5th Of May in ILL.,
nois.
I would plant between the rows of
trees such crops as onions, peas,
beans, cabbages, potatoes and sweet
corn of the low growing variety. Mel
ons and cucumbers also do very well
on new land. I also recommend sweet
potatoes. Field corn would choke the
trees more or less, and while they per.
haps would gro& just as well with
next spring would show them badly
frozen back, because the wood will not
ripen as we'll when shaded by the
corn as when they are free to receive
the light and air. But as do not
know how many acres of land the cor
respondent wishes to plant to trees
offer another idea:
Suppose that he wishes to plant an
acre or. two and that near the house.
He would do wise thing If he did
not break up the sod at all. Every
farmer has chickens and l assume that
this farmer has. He could skim off the
sod for about four feet square (or
round if he prefers) in the place
where he is to set each tree. He can
plant tree in each place SO prepared
and afterwards allow the chickens to
run there.
If your correspondent will buy only
trees that are dug fresh from the field
next spring, think the loss will be
small. But if he buys trees that have
been stored or heeled-in over winter,
his loss will be great AS to whether
it would be possible to perfectly pre-.
pare ground in so short time, will
say that it depends on other things,
including money and help, the latter
being the most mportant.-Henry

Simple Way to Cure Catarh by Hyomel Without
Stomach Dosing.

1t is the height of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to
cure nasal catarrh. It cannot be cured
except the catarrhal germs that are
present in the nose, throat and lungs
have first been killed.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smarting and raw membrane of
the air passages in the nose, throat
and lungs, kills off the catarrhal
germs and rids the system of the last
traces of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the purse or vest-pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hy-
omei, and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for so
cents.
Fiesler & McNeice positively guar
antee a cure when Hyomei is used in
accordance with the simple directions
on the package, or they will refund
the money. This certainly shows
their faith and belief in the virtues OF
Hyomei.

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

1 have found out by experience
that wood ashes is the best fertilizer
that we can put around our fruit
trees. Ashes should be placed closer
to the trunks of the trees than other
fertilizers. The quantity of ashes to
be placed around a tree depends up
on the size of the tree and the
strength of the ashes. About peck
of good strong ashes is enough for a
tree just set in the ground, but if
the ashes are leached, about again
as many may be used. Older trees
need more; about two bushels will do
for tree five years old. have found
that wood ashes make better fertil-
izer than barnyard manure. The ma
nure causes more rapid growth, be-
ing more apt to winter kill, while the
growth produced by the ashes is more
sound and therefore can better endure
the winter than the other growth. Ap-
pie trees treated with ashes yield from
one-half to one-third more sound ap-
pies. The trees and vines benefited
by ashes are peach, pear, apple, cher
ry, plum, grape, raspberry, blackberry
and strawberry Wood ashes are a
common and ready source Of potash.
They improve the mechanical condi-
tion Of most soils. The lime they con-
tain tends to correct "sourness" and
to promote the important chemical
process of nitrification. Corncob ashes
are the best for potash, as they sup
ply from Is to 20 per cent Of pure
potash. It has been estimated that
every one thousand pounds of hard
wood ashes will give about sixty
pounds of potash, and when COM
pared with that in cobs they are worth
much more in the shape of ashes.-

AL. COLES Announcement.

Hon. A. L. Cole of Cass county
announces his candidacy for the Office
of Governor in the following signed
statement:
L hereby announce my candidacy
for the Republican nomination to the
Office of governor. My official record
in the legislature and my public ut
terances on questions affecting the
state will no doubt be regarded as
more clearly indicating what my at
titude will be if elected to that office
than any promise I can make at this
time; and in year like this when
the rank and file of the party are dis
posed to take the reins into their own
hands and write their own platform,
it seems quite unnecessary for me to
attempt to formulate set of principles
for them. However, I hope I will be
pardoned for emphasizing few
questions which seem to be foremost
in the public mind.
First in importance let me say, is
a vigorous enforcement of our existing
railroad laws and the enactment into
law of such further safeguards of the
public interest as experience suggests.
Second: A vigorous policy of state
development, policy that is not con-
tent with the draining of swamps and
the settlement of our vast unoccupied
territory, but a policy as broad as the
state and which will bring an increased
measure Of prosperity to every county
in the state.
It is indeed unfortunate that on ac-
count of the persistence of activity OF
other states and the Canadian North
west many of our citizens have been
induced to leave the state and but
slight effort is being made to stop this
exodus or induce others to fill the
vacancies caused by their departure.
Now this is especially deplorable wnen
there are vast numbers of people
daily passing through our state and
on to locality which promises slight,
if any, advantages our own state does
not afford, while ours possesses mani
fold opportunities and advantages
which cannot be realized in the states
or provinces to which they are going.
A we'll directed, systematic effort
on our part, where all will pull to-
gether is all Chat is required to get
the tide of immigration setting in our
direction, and thus add to the value of
every acre of land and increase the
volume of every line of business in
our state. Should not the Republican
party do the usual thing and set the
place for state development, when all
other parties will soon follow in the
glorious work, which we have inaug-
urated.
Third: A change in our present
so-called "good roads law" which
will take road building out of politics
and thus make it possible to get
hundred cents worth of results for
every dollar expended.
Fourth: Such changes in our in
surance laws as recent investigations
have proven necessary.
Fifth: But by no means the least
are such changes in our tax
laws and their administrations will
make the burdens Of taxation rest
equally upon all classes.
I expect the public interest in the
foregoing and in many other import
ant matters will be clearly defined in
the party's platform, and if elected to
the honorable and responsible posi-
ton of governor, it will be my aim as
far as possible, to carry out the
policies so enunciated.

Dust Sprayino.

Spraying by means of dust has been
discussed in these columns quite oft
en-. So far as investigations have been
made in the past the liquid spray
would seem to be superior to the dust
spray. Some experiments have been
made in Delaware, however, that seem
to show that the dust spray can be
used proftably under some conditions
It was used there during the days
when heavy dews prevailed, and it
was estimated that the cost was about
half that Of the liquid spray. Apple,
plum, peach, pear and cherry trees
were sprayed. The codling moth and
apple scab were successfully con-
trolled by this means. The only dust
spray that seems to be effective, how
ever, is pulverized copper sulphate and
hydrated lime, to which paris green
ar some other poison has been added.

Mystery,


Fargo, N. D., April 19.-Not a single
clue has been obtained as to the
whereabouts of Ole Thorvildson, who
left his home in Northwood a year ago
last fall on a trip to the coast. AS
Thorvildson expected to be absent sev.
eral months, it was not until a year
had elapsed without any tidings from
him that his relatives became alarmed
about him. Inquiries then made de.
veloped the fact that he had visited
none of the people he had expected to
see on his Western trip, the last seen
of him being at Havre, Mont. Adver-
tisements have been inserted in all
of the leading papers on the coast and
throughout the State of Washington,
and systematic search has been
made for the missing man. but with.

Set the trees and then for at least
three years use an abundance Of well
rotted barnyard manure. Each year
cultivate the trees well till near the
middle of July. Then SOW the land to
COW peas and then turn them under
after the frost has killed the vines.
The vines will help to keep the hand
from washing and will furnish food
for the trees. Plenty Of cultivation
and food is what the trees WANT
