HEELINa IN TREES.

There arc some very good reasons
why it is better to have trees that
are intended for spring planting de
livered in the fall. the one draw
back being the difficulty OF keeping
the trees over winter. The careless
man should hot attempt it. but the
person who takes pains with his wor.
need not fail.
The trees should be unpacked as
soon as possible after they are re-
eeived. to guard against injury by
drying or heating. This Will, OF
course. necessitate heellng in. The
bundles should also be cut, for Il
left In packages it is difficult to III
in the earth around all the roots. A
somewhat sloping position should be
chosen. aud the ground should be
prepared by plowing deeply. and. If
too dry, it must be made damp by
irrigating or other means. There is
little danger of getting the. soil too
wet when trees are heeled in for q
short time IN the spring; but too
much water must be guarded against
in the fall If the soil is damp
enough to work well, it will be just
right to keep the trees in eXcellent
condition through the winter
A trench is now dug of sufficient
width to hold the roots of one row
of trees and of sufficient depth SO
that when the trench Is hned the
roots will he covered with two feet
of earth. The trees are placed In
the trench one at a time, With the
tops sloping at an acute anglo no
the grade. The earth is now filed
in, and pains must be taken to sec
that it sifts in around the. roots, leav-
ing no open spaces. The tops arc
now bent over to the ground and The
trunks and tops are covered with AT
least six inches of earth. 1t is nov
generally considered that 1year-olt
trees are the best for planting in
Colorado. and trees OF this age arc
certainly much more easily protected
than the larger. older ones.
Il
one nursery firm in the state ha'
made a practice for several yoars Of
taking up all their fruit trees from
the nursery rows in the fall and pro
tecting them during the winter a'
above described, Their stock invar
iably comes out in the spring plum
and fresh-quite contrast to th'
dried out, worthless stock that to'
often comes to us from the so-cal!e'
cold storage cellars.
Care must be taken to see tha
the covering IS not allowed to re
main too long in the spring. Muel
Injury results to most trees If th'
growth has started before they arr
planted. In the case of sweet cher
ries this usually results in death. Th'
exact time when the covering ma
be removed from the tops and trunk
Will depend upon the locality an(

"wmow WOMAN" GOOD ENGLISH

Numerous indeed are the motives which have led and still lead men to resort to explosives, Certain of those now in use contain little more than a repetition of the same idea expressed by two different words. A part of the compound has become obsolete or archaic; hence it needs or needed to have It's meaning strengthened Luke for instance, meant "tepid" but as 1t came to be eomewhar unfamiliar, the sense was brought out with precision by adding to 1t "warm.' Different from this, though possibly allied to it, may be the attribute use of "widow" in the expression widow woman" The see- ond word of the combination is clear ly unnecessary; but 1t may not have been always so. The difference of the final vowel in the original Anglo-SaXon words constituted the sole distinction between "widuwa" a "wldower" and "wlduwe" a widow. When the level- ing processes that went on after the Conquest gave to both these words the same ending "-e," natural way to fix definitely the idea of femininlty, be- fore Ger" was added to create the masculine form, would be to append "woman' to the common word. If this were so 1t would be almost inevitable that the combination would survive long after the necessity for it had dis appeared. However this may be, the expression has subslsted for centuries In our speech. When in our version of the Bible the wonan of Tekoah tells King David, "I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead" we are supplied in the same short sentence with illustrations of two different sorts of explosives For the one, the original Hebrew is necessarily responsible; for the other, the sixteenth century trans- lators The Wycliffe version of the fourteenth century had woman-wid- ow." But whatever the origin, the ex- pression has come down to the pres, ent time. Nor Is it confined, as if often asserted. to colloquial speech. To citt one instance out of many, it is used ir "Barnaby Rudge' by Dickens, when speaking in his own person. "To find this widow woman" he says

MAKING ALCOHOL.

Every farmer can now set up still on his farm and make alcohol from any grain, vegetable or other product that will yield 1t, and he will not be interfered with by the government provided alcohol is denatured Just what he must put into it, and how much will be made known to him by government officials, but the alcohol must be so treated that 1t cannot be used for adulterating whisky or any other intoxicating drink As the new law went into effect only few days ago the farmers have not yet taken advantage of It. nor is it likely that many of them will do so It is more than probable that in the future, sev- eral farmers in community will combine and set up a large still, rather than each farmer have his own small one. When this is done many waste products can be turned into al- cohol and the latter be either sold at a fair profit or used by the farmers for fuel in their houses or to run their farm machinery Some day, perhaps. alcohol will supplant gasolene as a source of power in automobiles, and then the farmers may have ready sale for all they can distill-Newark News.

TIE WORK OF GETTING
 4 PLAY PRODUCED The Author of Eight Tells How It Can Be
 Done. SOME DOUBLE TROUBLE Took Him Four Weeks To Write One Play--Nine Years to Produce.
SOME DOUBLE TROUBLE

Any one can write play, but only a genius can get one produced" said an ambitious playwright. The physi- cal labor of transcribing words and ideas is trifing, but the strenuous ef- forts to get some one to produce your play, or even read it, deserve a Car negie medal.
 "Once upon time it took me four weeks to write a play. It took me nine years to get that play, or any other play produced, But after nine years of continuous, earnest effort, of constant letter writing, of campaign of persistence and patience, of i'll faith and carelessness on the part of managers and stars and on the eX- pendlture of much time in useless personal argument and of about $127 in real money for typewriting have just had my first play produced
 What were your impressions on the first night?' I was asked. I could not answer, for in the first place refused to attend the first perform ance. And as was several hundred miles from the scene of the disturb ance l am in total ignorance of what took place. Such meagre informa- ton as I have been able to gather from newspaper clippings said that the play pleased large audience A week later I quietly sat in the last row and watched the performance.
 Alas, it was my play no longer. In the process of production certain changes, wisely--or unwisely-sug- gested by the stage manager, trans formed the whole manuscript into an affair which, whatever it's faults or virtues, bore only a distant resem- blance to my play.
 To soothe my disappointment l was told that plays are seldom pro- duced as they are written. Even Shakespeare has been pictured at the prompt table altering Hamlet's solilo- quy. But I dare say few aspirants for the profits of playwriting realize what is in store for their manuscripts when first they send them forth in chase of the elusive manager
 Many people fall into this pernici- ous habit of writing plays through prizes occasionally offered by maga- zines anxious to elevate the drama and unearth the great American play.
