NEW WAY TO PLANT TREES.
Proper Manner in Which to Plan,
Trees to Induce Fresh Root
Formation.

1t is an article of faith among fruit
growers that a fruit tree must be
planted in properly prepared soil, q
large. wide shallow hole, the roots
carefully spread out in all directions
and arranged near the surface with q
slight upward bearing at the end.
Small quantities of the finer soil
are first worked in among the roots,
hollow places caused by archings in
the stouter roots are filled up, the re-
mainder of the soil is put in, trodden
carefully down and the whole left to
the compacting influence of the rain.
The tree is supported by stakes until
1t is firmly established.
Spencer U. Pickering, with his re-
cent researches, declares that proper
tree planting means a small hole,
roots doubled up anyhow, the trees
stuck in, the soil thrown in and
rammed down as for gate post. With
extensive experiments SO per cent.
show in favor of the new simple meth.
cd, 27 show no difference and IA per
cent. show against the new way. BY
whatever criterion the trees are
gauged the new method is said to give
better results than the orthodox. AL
though an antagonistic cry has been
raised against the revolution theory
no practical man has been able to
give any reason for the old faith that
is In him beyond the fact that 1t is
sanctioned by established custom.
Examination proves that ramming
has led to copious development of
fibrous roots. In planting the impor-
tant thing is to induce fresh root for
nation and ramming does this more
rapidly than the old way.

With one dragging after each rain
we kept three-fourths of a mile of

The front. or cutting part of the

The house is floored and the colony
houses are built on runners SO they
may be easily moved from place to
place. They are shingled on the sides
and roof and contain a door and one
window. They should be fitted with
one or two roosts placed six inches
above a roosting platform, which
should be four feet from the floor.
This will bring the fowls above the
level of the opening and out of the
drafts.
In cold climates muslin curtain
may be provided to pull down in front
of the fowls at night, and IL desired,

REPORT THAT SULTAN ABDUL
HAND HAS ABDlcATED
THE THRONE.
HIS FLIGHT RUM0RED
ARMY OF HUsNI PAsHA, LEADER
OF YOUNG TURKS, MARCHING
ON THE CAPITAL.

Constantinople-The most impor
tant feature of the situation in the
Turkish capital Monday was the re-
port that Sultan Abdul Hamid had alb
dcated 1t caused the greatest ex-
citement in the lcbbies of Parliament
A rumor of the flight of the Sultan
on warship followed closely on that
of his abdication, but neither could be
confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the Brit
ish Embassy, where, other reports had
it, the Sultan had taken refuge, and.
there were also scores of inquiries at
the Russian Embassy concerning the
truth of the rumor that the Sultan was
under the protection of Russia on one
of its guardships.
At both of these embassies all
knowledge of the Sultan's movements
was denied and the Turkish foreign
office also gave strong denial to one
and all of these rumors.
The abdication of Abdul Hamid ap-
pears to be not improbable, and it ap-
pears that within day or two the con-
stitutionalists may accept as his sue

est son of the late Sultan, who is sec
ond in line, as they are strongly dis
pleased with Abdul Hamd's attitude.
The palace Monday was under
/ strong guard and even high officials
were not permitted to enter.
The constitutional forces Monday
| afternoon sent out small parties TO
reconnoiter and at o'clock in the
evening they were within sight of the
gates of Constantinople. They encoun-
tered no resistance, nor does any re-
sistance seem likely unless it is at the
palace.
The headquarters of the constitu
tionalists army is at Dedeagatich and
General Husni Pasha's forces, which
now number between 10000 and 10000,
occupy range of hills about twenty
miles from the capital. Every hour re-
Inducements are adding to their num-
| bers.
| At secret sitting at the chamber
today the deputies refused to act on IA
vote of confidence in the Cabinet. 1t
| was apparent that the chamber was
hostile toward the Cabinet owing to
the fact that many of the ministers
were identified with the old regime.
The grand vizier, Tewfik Pasha, read
declaration explaining that he had
assumed office from patriotic motives
at the moment of a crisis in order to
save the country and constitution
which everybody believed to be endan-
gered by recent events. He said he
counted upon the support of the depu-
ties and was ready to withdraw if their
confidence was withheld. He conclud-
ed by announcing the signing of the
Turks- Bulgarian protocol.
1t is not likely that the entire army
will reach the capital for some little
time, as Husni Pasha and his military
associates deem 1t advisable to with
hold their advance until they are
strong enough to win success by over
whelming numbers. They hope that
the so-called reactionary oppression
will yield without fighting.
The war ministry under Edhim
Pasha has been inactive. There have
been practically no preparations scr
far as can be observed to resist the
advance of the Saloniki troops.
