The Right Way to Plant Trees

The rop way to plant a tree Is to
make a small hole, to double the
roots up anyhow and stick the tree in,
throw in the soil, and ram it down as
hare as If one were fixing "A gate-post,
The experiments seem conVinc nS
enough. They have been mad at
Woburn, Harpenden, Bedford, various
places in Cambridgeshire. and in Dew
onshire; SO per cent of the sets showed
in favor of ramming. 81 per cent
showed no difference g. e., all the
elaborate detail of the ordinary way of
planting was simply a waste of time).
and only IA per cent were against
ramming. 1t makes no difference by
what criterion the trees are judged
planting in this new way gives better
results than planting in the orthodox
fashion.
When "A new fact is established by
scientific experiment that no longer
fits in with the old practical formula
all cases there Is invariably to cover
all cases there is invariably a cry
raised about the antagonism of theory
Cor science) ana practice, This has
duly happened in the present case. But
no practical man has been able to give
any reason for the faith that is in
him beyond the fact that it is sane
toned by established custom; these
appear to be the first serious expert
ments OF the subject, and they do not
seem to be Vitiated by any constant
error. Examination of the trees shows !
that ramming has led to a copious de-
velopment of fibrous roots. Direct ex-
periments showed that the fibrous and |
roots produced in the nursery |
before lifting play no great part as
roots during the subsequent life of
the tree, the important point is to in
duce fresh root formation. n ram
ming does this more rapidly than tho |
orthodox method Of planting. No harm
was done, and sometimes even good
resulted. when the old roots were de
l|iberately damaged before planting.
The reports issued from the Woburn
fruit farm are always interesting, be
cause they deal with fundamental
problems of universal importance, ana /
not merely with local matters. No
fruit grower could afford to make cx-
periments himself on anything like
the scale on which they arc carried out
at Woburn. and fruit growers every
where are under an obligation to the
Duke of Bedford and Mr.. Pickering
for investigating their problems for
them and publishing the results In 50
accessible a form.-E j. Russell In

first string OF barges before the close
of the present navigation season"
Suitable barges for flour traffic can
be built for $500 each, and will last IN
the opinion of riVermen from 10 To -
years. Each will carry ten carloads
Of freight at average stage. and even
more in high water.
Captain Windns Of the toWboat
Pathfinder. who has been engaged in
the towing and rafting business on
the upper river for years, has given
the millcrs his opinion tht the plan
is thoroughly practical and can be
made to pay. Advices recently re-
ceiVed indicate that barges are now
under construction for various pur-
poses at saltwater. La Crosse, Du-
buque,' keokuk and other ports and
that the construction of flour bargcs
can be readily expedited even for this
seasons business.
The mixers point out that an es-
pecial advantage of exporting via New
Orleans will be that on cargoes des-
tined to South America or Mexican
points or for the isthmus, the cost of
trans-shipment at New orleans will
be less than from the all-rail or lake
and rail lines at eastern seaboard
points.

MISSING LINK COMING.
Mr.. Darwin is a Member of Ring
ling Brothers Big Menagerie.

Mr.. Darwin is coming to Mex
leo. He is not the illustriOus
gentleman born a hundred years
ago, who wrote profound theories
about our ancestors, but a
creature so like the missing link
the great philosopher predicted,
that scientists must ponder when
they see him.
Darwin lives in miniature
house with a fire place, bay
windows, electric lights and pic
lures on the wall. In a little back
room he has an iron bed and
table. He sits at his table, drinks
from a bottle, eats with a knife
and fork and after his repast
smokes a soothing pipe. His house
has wheels and occupies the place
of honor in the menagerie of
Ringing Brothers circus which
exhibits here on Friday, July 16.
This big menagerie has been
wonderfully improved since the
Ringing Brothers last came here.
They have about every specimen
of animal life that belongs to ibis
age, and many animals the like of
which no other show possesses. At
the head of this department are
the two largest giraffes in cap
tivity, forty elephants, a single
horned rhinocerOs and a hippo
potamus as big as the state of
Rhode Island.
Just as the menagerie excels so
also is the circus the greatest that
ever toured in any part of the
world. In fact, in the selection
of their many great acts the Ring
ling Brothers have far surpassed
their former brilliant records.
Not in the history of the show
business has any other amuse-
ment enterprise possessed single
fifty features which these five
famous circus kings are present
ing this season.
New York City was amazed at
the size of the institution when
the seasons opening was made
at the Madison Square Garden. It
was the circus surprise Of the last
twenty-five years and the great
audience room was taxed to its
utmost, so great was the demand
for tickets.
