Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo

three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan With
him (on the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.
She marvcled at everything until
they. sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all it's other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filled not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

and cultivation improve the early
growth of the trees, but add to the in
itial cost of the plantation.
Trees should be planted with the
least possible exposure of the roots.
The rootlets of the plant will dry out
IL exposed to the air for even a short
time. This is especially true of conf
ers. Some of the broadleaf species
may, with proper attention, live even
after the roots have dried out, but
conifers are far less likely to survive.
When the seedlings are received,
they should be unpacked at once and
their roots dipped into pail contain
ing thin mud. Until time for planting
in the field the trees should be "heeled.
in" according to the following method:
Dig a trench deep enough to bury the
roots and part of the stems. The
trench should run east and west, with
its south bank at slope of about 80
degrees to the surface of the ground
A layer of trees should be placed in
the trench on its sloping side, the top
toward the south. The roots and
stems should be covered with fresh
earth dug from the second trench, in
which second layer of trees is put
and covered in the same way. The
digging of the parallel trenches is re-
peated and layers of trees are put in
until all have been heeled-in as shown
in the accompanying illustration.
In the case of conifers care should
be taken not to bury the foliage, and
either to choose shady place for the
young trees or to construct a shade
over them with brush or laths.
The best time to plant trees is in
the early spring, before the growth be-
gins. In general, planting should be
done as soon as possible after the
frost is out of the ground. The trees
should be carried to the planting sites
roots downward in a pail containing
several inches of water. They should
be set in holes dug with a mattock.
The width and depth of the holes will
depend on the character and size of
the plants root system. In all tree
planting 1t is of the greatest impor-
tance to press the earth firmly about
the roots so that all air spaces are
filled. The soil should not, however,
be packed so hard as to be impervious
to water, nor should the earth be
raised in mound about the stem.
Information regarding general nur-
sery practice and planting may be OBJ
tanned from publications of the forest
service, which will be forwarded upon
request addressed to the forester.

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

The best method of establishing a
forest plantation is by the use of nurs-
cry stock. It is usually advisable to
purchase plant material from COM
mercial nursery. In extensive opera
tions. 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. Advice 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. Prepara
tion of the planting site by plowing
and narrowing is not essential, but Is
best if the land has been previously
utilized for crops. Such preparation

Currants and gooseberries are often

The red raspberry is still the most
popular on our city markets, but it is
difficult to grow in the west.
The strawberry beds at this time OF

weeds should be kept down.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is we'll known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that of the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

The End of Her Waiting

was known in Barclay street as Miss

her goodness and charity among the

After a little while / spent great

my life was no longer dull and lone

dearly, and she returned my affection.
