HEELING J. ! 6 IN TREES
Method Of Gazing for Nursery Stock
Until Planted Ia Spring.

| II so s a5 { 6$
A word about heeling in trees at
this time will dou ubtless be Of benefit
to some Of our readers. Where fall
delivery Of nursery: stock is received,
1t is probably best to heel the trees
In rather than to set them out In their
permanent location. The setting can
usually be more satisfactorily done IN
the spring. John B. Katzner, a sue.
cessful fruit grower Of Minnesota, Of
fers the following advice on the sub.
ject:
7 consider it very important that
you buy and order all fruit trees to be
delivered in. the fall. There is more
time.'al around for the nurseryman
as we'll as for the farmer at that time
of the year, and you can take care of
the stock just as well, if not better,
than, the nurseryman can by heeling
In your stock over winter. For this
work select a place where the water
does not accumulate. When you get
notice that the stock has been shipped,
few inches deep, for the tops of the
trees, slanting down to the north to
about two feet for the roots, and wide
enough so that all the trees can be
placed in the trench without crowding
them too much. For a hundred trees
a hole six feet wide is about right.
When the trees arrive, unpack at
once, prune the roots slanting-so that
the tree will stand on the cut part of
the root when planted, to insure
downward growth of the new roots.
Cut off all broken parts of the roots.
Now place the. trees in the hole
which ought to be a little deeper just
where the roots come so that they will
not be injured When you have put
in about five or six trees, throw a
little dirt on between the roots. Above
the first tier of trees you can place
one or two more. When all the trees
are in the hole, shovel some more
earth on the roots till all are we'll
covered. Now place board on the
ground over the roots and similar
boards across the stems and branches.
so that the trees are entirely covered.
A few short stakes under the boards
will keep too great pressure off from
the trees. Fill UP the hole with dirt,
make a mound a>little higher than the
surface to let the water flow off and
then put on mulch about foot
deep when the ground freezes up. The
trees are covered with boards so that
they shall not be injured by the shov-
el when they are taken out in the
spring. } ..
The stock is now we'll heeled in and
will come out of it's winter quarters
full of sap and vigor, ready to start
into active growth at once: 1t is my
experience running back over the last
Is years, that. trees so handled will
not fail to make growth of from six
inches to three feet the first season.
If you compare the growth of these
trees with spring delivered trees, if
you think of the consequent success in
the one case and the frequent failure
of the other, the great advantage of
fall delivery stock will be evident to
you. Another advantage of fall de-
livery which we must not loss
sight of is that we have our trees on
hand in spring to plant whenever we
are ready.

Jaffa Palestine, Oct. ia mob to-,

here and destroyed number of mail

grew out of the efforts Of political agi-

Tho trouble began OH the arrival
today OF the Austrian mail steamer
The lighter men of the port refused to
have anything to do with her and 1t
was impossible to land her cargo. The
mails and passengers eventually were
jisembarked, however, after which the
people moved on the postoftice and
vented their anger on the property or

at other points IN Turkey for the pur-
pose of insuring> the safe and prompt
transmission of mail between their re-

TAFT ELECTORS WITHDRAW.

Head OF .tAmcricnu'' Ticket.

The Taft electors VIII not allow thar
names to appear on the ticket Of the
hybrid aggregation locally known as
the Taft Liberal" ticket, placed in the
E field by the Americans. This step
WAS decided upon at II meeting OF thc
Republican state committee held at the
state headquarters in the Judge build
Ing Yesterday afternoon. The commit
tee adopted a resolution directing that
the destinations of the Taft electors tc
be candidates upon the eonR!omeratc
ticket be sent To the secretary of state
This was done at once, and the names
will be withdrawn Immediately.
Considerable speculation is being IN
dulged In as to the prohu Bile. result of
the action Of the regular Taft electors
in Withdrawing from the American
ticket. 1t was VIGOROUSLY a plan cen
gcocted by the 5..American'' leaders TO
SCOOP in votes for the rest of the
american local ticket that the Taft
Liberal ticketwas placed in the field;
and the action of the electors may
drive the Kcarns outfit to resort to an
effort to compel the secretary of state
by attempted legal proceedings to allow
the "Faft-Liber$l" electors TO remain
on the ticket.
No action Of a similar nature has as
yet been taken by the regular Bryan
electors, as to the II. Bryan National
gllCkSls sNlllGu plttN-
ing on the ballot There are some who
declare that the Taft electors having
Withdrawn from the ticket. leaves the
American" tickets lheadless, and there
fore incompetent to appear on the bal
lot at all. And it is claimed again
that the hybrid Bryan ticket proposed
by the "Americans'' may be retired by
the questioning of the right of one 20

of another. ID

ORIGIN OF ox-TAm SOUP.

The now familiar ox-tail soup is
said to have had its origin during the
reign Of terror in Paris, in 1893.
when many of the nobility were re-

abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the
tanners, without removing the tails,
and in cleaning them the tails We're

noble beggars. while happening to

it TO his lodgings and made what is
now famous--the first dish of ox-tail
soup. He Immediately told his friends
of the good luck he had had, with the
natural result that the tanners We're
