SETTING OUT TREES.

Nursery stock usually leaves the
nursery in first class condition and it
is packed to carry safely. If the
trees are promptly cared for as soon
as they are received, there is not 60
lnG to be much danger in losing them.
Right here is where injury is usually
done. The trees are unpacked and
the roots are exposed to the wind and
sun. The roots should be kept damp,
and they should not be uncovered
until they are ready to go into the
ground. When large number are to
be set out, heel in the bundles at diff
ferent places over the orchard, where
they will be handy for setting, and in
this way only one bundle need DO
taken cut at a time. Then dig the
holes big enough to take I'm all the
roots without bending. Slft the fine
dirt about the roots and see that no
air spaces are left. If the ground IS
not rich loan, some well-rotted
manure should be placed i'm each
hole, but not deep enough to como
in contact with the roots. Then don't
be afraid TO trim off the branches.
Prune down so that top and roots are
evenly balanced. These points about
setting out trees are the things which
make for success. indiana Farmer,

FEEDING TOO MUCH CORN.

One of the hardest things with
which to impress feeders IS the folly
of using so much corn. These feed
ers argue that they have fed corn al
most exclusively to their live stock
for years, and they have never no.
ticed any bad effects. and, taking one
season with another. they have made
money out Of their feeding opera
tons. The practice of feeding corn
exclusively, to hogs, has no doubt
lost millions Of dollars to feeders,
for wherever this practice is fol-
lowed for several years, disease in
variably follows in it's trail. During
the first six months foods which
promote growth and not fat should
be used Every experiment shows
that clover, middlings and like foods
are much cheaper, and far better
to bring hogs up to say 1900 pounds.
If much corn has not been fed up to
this time, the hogs can be fattened
quickly and without much danger
from excess corn feeding.

KEEPS THE BOYS ON THE FARM

My experience in growing buck
wheat in the last few years, proves
to me it is very valuable crop and
can be grown and harvested with very
little expense. 1t can be grown with
other crops successfully. / some
times SOW it in the corn, as l am lay
ing it by, dragging mower wheel
through the rows to level the ground
and cover the seed. Last season
sowed three bushels on three acres

and packed it we'll, so as to hold the
moisture, and sowed on he third day

A LEAF FROM MY GARDEN BOOK

To keep vegetables free from in
socts they must be kept in a fine,
vigorous condition. A coating of hen
manure, say one-fourth inch, If
spread over the soil around cucum-
bers, elephants and other vegetables
will add greatly to the vigor of the
plants.
Straw is~best for mulching vege-
tables, as it does not lie closely, there
fore will allow free circulation of
air. 1t retains. the moisture nicely.
Weeds and green material make the
poorest mulch, as they will ferment
ii put on too thickly.
Before applying Il mulch the soil
must be hoed deeply SO as to give
opportunity for a free circulation of
air. If the mulch is used at intervals
and the soil hoed up we'll the results
will be all the better for this extra
labor. 80

How Marbles Are Made.

Most OF the stone marbles used by
boys are made In Germany. The re-
fuse only of the marble and agate
quarries IS employed. and this is
treated In such n way that there Is
practically no waste. Men and boys
are employed TO break the refuse
stone into small cubes, and with
their hammers they acquire q mar
Vicious deNterity. The little cubes
are then thrown into mill consist
ing of grooved bedstone and re-
volving runner. Water Is fed to the
mill and the runner is rapidly re-
volved, while the friction does the
rest. In half an hour the mill is
stopped and bushcl or so of per-
fectly rounded marbles are taken out.
The whole process costs the merest
trile.-Philadelphia Record.

Some Divorce Customs.

A great variety of divorce laws pre-
vail In different countries. The an
cient Jews had discretionary power
OF divircing their wives; and in Hin
dustan a man and wife may become
divorced through an incident which an
an American might take as a matter
OF daily domestic life.
A curious custom regarding divorce
prevails in Cochin China. where a
couple may become divorced by mere
ly breaking a pair of chop sticks be-
fore a company which is assembled to
witness the service.
Divorces are scarcely ever known to
occur in Greece; while in Tibet it Is
almost impossible to obtain di-
vorce, and remarriage is positively for
hidden
Two kinds of divorce are known in
Circassia. BY the first the divorced
people are allowed to remarFy at
once, and by the second remarriage
is not allowed within n year.
1t is said that among certain tribes
of American Indians divorce may be
accomplished by breaking the pieces
of sticks given to the witnesses at the
marriage ceremony.
