METHODS OF FOREST PLANTING.
Where Many Trees Are Needed Start
Home Nursery.

The best method of establishing a
forest plantation is by the use of nurs.
cry stock. Ii is usually advisable to
purchase plant material from COM
mercial nursery. In extensive opera
tons, however. 1t may prove more
profitable to produce the planting
stock in home nursery. Such a
nursery, however. will demand the
careful supervision of one experienced
in growing young trees. Ad-ice In re-
gard to nursery practice is contained
in extract 376 from the year book Of
the department of agriculture for 1905,
which can be had upon application to
the forester.
Forest planting must be done by
simple and cheap methods. Prepare
ton of the planting site by blowing
and narrowing is not essential, but is
best If the land has been previously
utilized for crops. Such preparation

FOR THE FRUIT GROWER.

Last call to cut out the old black.
berry and raspberry canes! And don't
let the cuttings lie in heap all win
ter Burn 'em now.
Currants and gooseberries are often
set out in the fall
Continue to cultivate and hoe the
strawberry bed. But don't let the run.
ners set too thickly; cut off the sur
plus plants as IL they were weeds.
The red raspberry is still the most
popular on our city markets, but it is
difficult to grow i'm the west
The strawberry beds at this time of
year should be kept growing and the
weeds should be kept down.
Do not let the orchard ground re-
main bare all winter. If no cover
crop was sown last month (as we
then advised) attend to it at once.
Put the wood ashes in the orchard
Any place in the orchard is a good
place, but IL put around the trees
it will help to keep the borers out.

crops or crop failures i'm many places
will surely result in increased de.

Encourage Child In Music.

Encourage your children II they
show a fcndness for music. Teach
them little kindergarten and nursery
songs which are bright and swinging.
The music should be easy enough for
the Childish voices to master without
any difficulty. Do not start a child
to studying instrumental music when
too young, for the practicing will be-
come a drudgery and the chiids tai
ent may be ruined. A child should be
at least IL or is years of age before
1t is made to study music, and many
authorities claim that 16 is the proper
age. If child has no taste or fond
ness for music. do not force 1t to
study for 1t will be time and money
wasted and II is sometimes ruinous
to a child's disposition.

RAILWAYS BUILT FOR WAR.
Russia Has Recently Completed Last
Strategic Line.

Russia has at length completed the
great steel and concrete bridge across
the Oxus at Karki, on which it has
been busy over since the autumn of
1906. This bridge is the last and
principal link in the new startegic rail
way which is being built between the
great city of Samarkand in Russian
Turkestan. and the little village of
Bosaga, on the Afghan frontier, and as
soon as the rails are laid. which will
be in few months time, the car
will be able, should he so wish, to
mass easily million of men upon the
borders Of this debatable territory. An
other Of these strategic railways has
also been recently completed from the
Caspian to Penjdeh, by way of Merv
This means that iIerat, the tradition
al key Of India" is now within easy
striking distance of ST Petersburg
These great trunk lines have been con
structed secretly. They have never
been opend for traffic, except local on
certain sections. They are, in fact,
railways built for war. The sterile re
sfons through which they run can.
for the most part. never support any
permanent population. They stop short
ON the frontier of Afghanistan, amid
tumble of mountains and morasses and
uninhabited salt deserts.

Not a slip Of the Tongue.

1t Is dangerous to pretend to knowl-

little education was once a guest at
dinner, during which a servant stun
bled SO that a roast tongue fell from
the platter he was carrying. 1t was an
embarrassing moment, but the quick
witted host saved the day by remark
ing, Never mind, gentlemen. it's only
a 'lapsus lingua.'" This caused much
laughter and applause, and instead OF
being spoiled the dinner was a great
success. The boor. wishing to shine as
a wit himself, shortly afterward gave
a dinner, TO which none Of those pres
ent at the first dinner were invited.

Experimenting With . Hybrid That
Will Live IN Warm Water.
Experiments at the Cory hatchery
with the aim of producing a hybrid be
tween the brown trout and the brook
trout have met with success appar-
emily, writes a Harrisburg pa cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Press.
The brown trout is a fish which fire.
uuents waters several degrees warmer
than that for which the brook trout
is adapted, but 1t Is a fish which does
not have the gamy characteristics OF
the brook trout.
Fish Commissioner Meehan says that
II the happy medium can be struck In
a hybrid the state Of Pennsylvania at
large will be greatly benefited. 1t is
hoped to breed a fish which viii be
only slightly larger than the brook
trout but will have the physical char
acteristics of the brown trout 30 far
as thriving in warm waters In con-
cerned.
It is believed that the hybrid VIII be
able to reproduce its kind. Commis-
sioner Meehan says that other hybrid
lsh do this. and he sees no reason why
such a hybrid trout should not do so.
