DEMAND FOR CHERRY STOCK.
Chance for Some Enterprsing Amer
lean Horticulturist to Grow Trees.

w. F. Heikes of Huntsville, Ala,
states there are imported into the
United States from France annually
10000,0 900 to 100000 cherry stocks.
Fairly trustworthy figures show that
from this number of stocks the output
Of understandable trees at two years
old, of all sizes, is not more than one
third of the number of stocks planted,
and of these not more than one-third
will grade five-eighths and up. The
first difficulty encountered in cherry
growing is in getting stand. So
much depends on the condition of the
plants on their arrival from France.
There are various causes of injury
from the time the plants leave the
grower in France to the time of their
arrival at destination. There is more
or less danger from freezing or heat
ing on the way. Sometimes the plants
are dug too early, and suffer from be-
ing heeled in, or they are dug when
the ground is too wet and packed in
boxes before they are separated from
the mud and properly dried. In this
condition they start to grow in the
boxes, and however carefully they
may be handled, there is sure to be
a heavy loss in planting. In some in
stances the plants are grown on land
unsuited for their growth, when they
suffer in health, quality and appear
ance. Such plants are abnormally
branched, and usually present a
blackish appearance of the roots.
There is room for some enterprising
horticulturist here who will collect
Mazzard cherry seeds and grow some
of the seedlings required by nursery
men for budding and grating pur-
poses.

NURSERY TREES.
Proven That They Do Not Exhaust
the Land of Its Fertility.

All experience proves that crop OF
nursery trees does not exhaust the
land of its fertility, says T. R. Peyton
Cooper county, Missouri. In fact, it is
generally considered that land from
which trees have been moved is in the
very best condition for crop of wheat
or potatoes.
The best nursery lands are those
which contain a basis of clay, and
these are the ones which soonest suf.
fer under unwise treatment. The land
is kept under high culture, and is,
therefore, deeply pulverized. There
is practically no herbage on the soil
to protect 1T during the winter.
The soil, deeply broken and robbed
of its humus, runs together and ce.
ments itself, and it then requires
rest" in clover or other herbage crop
to bring it back to its rightful condi.
tion.
This resting period allows nature to
replace the fiber in the soil and to
make it once more so porous and mel
low that plants can find a congenial
root-hold in it.

MODERN DEMAND FOR SILENCE.
German Newspapers Protest 1t Is Be.

How the times change!" says a
writer in the Frankfurter Zeitung. I'm
the days of our fathers no description
of a homelike, cosy room was COM
plete without a reference to the tick
ing clock. 1t was this gentle sound
which emphasized the quiet of the
place. People had no nerves in those
days. To-day the thought of a ma
chine ticking off the seconds and strik-
ing the hours is a source of worry and
distress. Time is going, but they do
not wish to be reminded of it continu-
ally; no clock is better than the tick
ing machine. And now to meet the re-
quirements of the nervous people, a
factory at Schramburg is making a
noiseless clock" In an article on the
same subject another paper says:
THE anti-noise craze has made disa'
greeable and uncomfortable some of the
noises which once were music to us,
and soon we will find way to silence
the birds and to muffle the sound of
the rustling leaves"

What man has done. man can do"
ran swiftly through Williston's brain,
and with no idea of abandoning his
search until he had probed the mys.
terry. he mounted and rode northward,
closely examining the edge of the
precipice as he went along for any
evidence of a possible descent. Pres
emily he came upon a cross ravine, de-
void OF shrubbery, too steep for a
hoc-A but presenting possibilities for
a man. With unerring instinct he fol-
lowed the cross-cut westward. Soon
a scattering of scrub oaks began to
appear, and sumach already streaked
with crimson. A little farther and the
trees began to show spiral wreaths of
woodbine and wild grape. Yet little
farther, and doubtless there would be
outlet for horse as well as man.
But Williston was growing impa-
tient. Besides, the thought came to
him that he had best not risk his
buckskin to the unknown dangers of
an untried trail. What # he should go
lame? Accordingly he was left behind
in a slight depression where he
would be pretty we'll hidden, and Will
liston scrambled down the steep in
cline alone. When foothold or hand
hold was lacking, he simply let him
self go and slid, grasping the first root
or branch that presented itself in his
daredevil course.
Arrived at the bottom, he found his
clothes torn and his hands bleeding;
but that was nothing With grim de-
termination he made his way through
the ravine and struck across the sand
trail with a sure realization of his
danger, but without the least abate-
ment of his resolution. The sand was
firm under his feet. The water had
receded a sufficient length of time be-
fore to make the thought of quick
sands an idle fear. No puff of cloudy
smoke leaped from a rifle barrel. If,
as he more than half suspected, the
island was a rendezvous for cattle
thieves, a place surely admirably fit
ted by nature for such unlawful oper-
ations, the rustlers were either over
confident of the inaccessibility of their
! retreat and kept no lookout, or they
were insolently Indifferent to expos
ure. The former premise was the
more likely. A light breeze, born of
the afterglow, came scurrying down
the river bed. Here and there, where
the sand was finest and driest it rose
in little whirlwinds. No sound broke
the stiffness of the summer evening.
What was that? Coyotes barking
over yonder across the river? That

alien sound! a mans laugh, a curse, a
heart-breaking Eellow of pain. Willis
ton parted ever so slightly the thick
foliage of underbrush that separated
him from the all to familiar sounds
and peered within.
In the midst of a small clearing
man-made, for several stumps were
scattered here and there-two men
were engaged in unroping and releas-
ing red steer, similar in all essential
respects to a bunch of three or four
huddled together little to one side
They were all choice, well-fed animals,
but there were thousands of just such
beasts herding on the free ranges.
He owned red steers like those, but
was there a man in the cattle country
who did not? They were impossible
of Identification without the aid of
their brand, and it happened that
they were so punched as to completely
battle Williston in his eager efforts
to decipher the stamp that would dis
close their ownership. That they were
the illegitimate prey of cattle rust
lers, he never for one moment doubt
ed. The situation was conclusive. A
bed of glowing embers constantly re-
plenished and kept at white heat
served to tighten up the weird scene
growing dusky under the surrounding
cottonwoods.
Williston thought he recognized in
one of the men-the one who seemed
to be directing the procedure of this
little affair, whose wide and dirty hat
rim was so tantaliZingly drawn over
his eyes-the solitary rider whose un-
expected appearance had SO startled
him short time before. Both he and
his companion were dressed after the
rough, nondescript manner of cattle
men, both were gay, laughing and
talkative, and seemingly as oblivious
to possible danger as if engaged in the
most innocent and legitimate business.
A little to the left and standing
alone was an odd creature of most
striking appearance large, spotted

1t was quite impossible to mistake such

PLANTING Temporary Trees,

We note that horticultural writer
advises to plant temporary trees be-
tween the trees meant to be perma-
nent, for shade purposes. 1t is bad
plan. The owner does not have the
nerve to dig out the trees meant to
be temporary as soon as he should,
and in the meantime these trees are
taking light and plant food from the
other trees. The matter of light is a
very great one, far greater than most
people suspect. Any shutting off of
the light from growing tree results
in the malformation of it's outlines.
The beautifully shaped trees we some
times see grow with an abundance of
light on all sides Of them.

last moments of Chopin are thus re.

some melodies by Rossini and Bellini,
and this she did with sobs in her
voice. Listening to her voice he
passed away" Speaking of the fu-

QUEEN and his own funeral march
were performed with the assistance of
Lablache, Viardot and the concert So
