fbrous roots are encouraged, and the
tree may be transplanted with greater
hopes of success.
ed in the method shown in the illus
trations, the ball of soil surrounding
the roots may be from to 71a feet
square, to 61% feet being good
workable size. The depth depends en-
tirely on the roots; usually from 21a
to 8 feet will be found the necessary
depth After the size of the ball has
been decided on, it is marked out alb.
solutely square; then in the center of
two opposite sides holes are made 21a
to 3 feet wide to depth of 9 inches
below the lower roots. The next item
is to tunnel under the ball below
the roots the tunnel being made large
enough to admit two oak planks. each
one being IL inches wide and 4 inches
thick, and long enough to protrude
from 6 to inches on each side of the
ball.
The first illustration shows the work
advanced to that stage when the tun-
mel is ready for the planks. AS soon
as these planks are placed in position
and packed up firmly to the ball. the
soil is dug out all round the latter to
the depth of the lowest roots, sever
ing strong roots and being careful
to preserve fibrous ones from in
jury. During this work care is taken
by accurate measurements to ensure
an equal distribution of weight. The
second picture shows the work ad-
vanced to this stage; the ends Of the
central planks are seen. A stout can
vas is then placed round the ball of
soil of roots and bound tightly with
ropes, pieces of wood 3 or inches
wide and one-half inch thick being
placed between the rope and canvas to
keep the ropes from cutting into the
soil. The next item is to excavate
sufficient soil, above the planks al
ready placed in position, along each
side of the ball to admit oak boards
9 inches wide and IL inches thick,
then the two remaining sides are eX-
cavated in the same manner to admit
similar boards, the ends of which rest
on those of the other side boards. The
ends of these boards protrude inches
on each side of the ball. Pieces of
soft rope are then tied round the
trunk of the tree, taken under the
corners of the side boards and made
fast round the tree again. All four

The question often arises as to what
Is the limit in size and age at which
tree may be transplanted. The an
swer is that these items depend en-
tirely on local conditions. Should a
tree only have to be moved to a short
distance very large specimen could
be satisfactorily transplanted. Elk
cept for special reasons, however, it
Is not advisable to attempt an unrea-
sonably large tree. AS a guide, any
deciduous tree may be attempted up
to 40 feet in height, with trunk diam
eter of IL or Is inches. Coniferous
trees such as pines and cedars are not
so easily transplanted; as rule, their
roots do not ramify so we'll and there
is q difficulty in keeping the ball of
soil from breaking.
The character of the soil is a great
factor in the transplanting of trees.
Should it be a moderately strong
loan, or even of a clayey nature, it
will be the best possible kind for
transplanting from. In such soil plen-
ty of fibrous roots are formed, and
they hold the soil together we'll. In
very sandy soil, even if fbrous roots
are produced, there is always the dan.

manure taken from box stalls, where
it has accumulated under the feet of
animals kept continuously in their
stalls, is divided into similar parcels
and treated with like quantities of the

After a few weeks the manure thus
treated, together with the two lots of
untreated manure, one taken from the
yard and one from the stable, are
spread upon clover sod at the rate of
eight tons per acre and plowed under

Table shows that manure rein
forced with gypsum has produced a
considerably larger increase than that
not so treated, the average net gain
being 81 cents per ton Of manure for
the yard manure and IS cents for the
stall manure. When kainit has been
used instead of gypsum the total gain
over the untreated manure has been
larger than for the gypsum, but the
greater cost of the kainit has reduced
the net gain to GA cents per ton for
the yard manure and Sc cents for the
stall manure. Kainit is crude salt,
mined in Germany, and is mixture
of the chlorides of potassium and
sodium. On soils deficient in potas-
stun but not in phosphorus it is prob
able that kainit might show relative
ly larger effect than has appeared in
this test.

The curious effect of slow daily poi

GAMBLING IN APPLES.
Speculation in Fruit Bought in Bios
som Has Sad Finale.

som Has Sad Finale.
Losses of more than 100000 it is
estimated, will be sustained by bold
spectators who last spring took the
chances on blossoming trees and
bought up the ungrown fruit in New
York State and part of Canada.
They now have on their hands 2,
100000 barrels, which they are daily
trying to unload, and it looks as
though before the season closed there
would be windfall for the piebakers.
The holders must get rid of the supply
at once, and the buyers are holding
back to a mournful extent.
One of the favorite forms of gam.
bling up the state is buying the future
apple crop. Some of the farmers &C.
quire the orchards of the neighbor-
hood, and the state in the spring is
traversed by brokers and SPECTATORS
who look over the orchards and offer
lump sums for the output, or agrees
to take the fruit at so much a barrel.
It is the custom to go long and
short on the apple market, just as it
is on stocks, and the game is played
with as much energy as though the
spectators were on the curb.
Placing money on 10 to 1 shot at
the race track is a mild amusement
compared with the chances which are
taken on the Baldwins and Greetings

York State.-New York Herald.
