Alderman Downing. Tammany leader Of

Alderman Bowling said he reoffered the
old code in the hope that all parties i'll

An excellent method for planting
trees straight is a follows:
First stake off the ground, then
take piece of inch lumber 1x2 of suf-
flcient length to reach across the
hole or excavation; bore a k-inch
hole in each end, cut a notch in the
middle to accommodate the tree
trunk, A. Make or have the black
smith make two ss-inch iron pins one
foot long with ring in one end, c. To
use, place the board into a notch A,
shove your pins we'll down in soil
through holes B, B. Withdraw one
and swing the stick around like a
gate, replace the pin in the ground
to mark the place, then dig the hole
to accommodate tree, swing the stick
back in place, replace pin in hole
through the stick and into the hole
in the ground put the stock of tree
into notch A, and fill in the dirt and
it will set straight with the other
stakes.
AS ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid in the production of
flowers and foliage, the Towering sea-
son necessarily controls the time of
pruning.
Many of the early blooming shrubs
develop their flowers the year before;

Water shade Trees.

How many people neglect to water
their shade trees and flower beds?
The editor of this department knows
a Texas man who is still gathering
fresh roses from his bushes, when all
his neighbors, in fact, most of the resi-
dents of his town, can only point to
their withered, parched bushes and
trees. This man. on the hottest day
Of the year. had his home grown flow
ers on the table, and they were al
most as fresh as flowers would look
in early summer. He simply waters
his trees and flowers; waters them
right. and they return him, for his
service, beauty OF bloom.

SINGLE CROP
FARMING BAD
Specialization Is Profitable An
Favorable Seasons. But Often
There As Failure.

One-crop farming is in vogue in
many agricultural districts. If a manu-
facturer employs an operator he fur
nishes him with steady employment at
all seasons of the year. The profit Of
labor is the manufacturers reward. If
only one commercial article is pro-
duced the quantity is increased to
give the operator constant employ
mept.
The farmer is a producer of agricul-
tural necessities which enter into
daily consumption and to concentrate
all his energies and capital to produce
a single crop leaves him part of the
season without employment. The far
mer is his own employer and does not
have to divide the profits of his prod
ucts, and therefore should arrange his
system of husbandry to insure steady
production of some agricultural output
that enters into daily consumption.
Unquestionably specialization farm
ing is profitable in favorable seasons,
but occasionally there is a partial or
total failure of the crop and the far
mer wants some reserve product to
tide him over a disastrous season of
special crop exploitation. In some To-
calities the soil is admirably adapted
to potato culture. In another section
to onions, and still another to horticul-
ture. When any of these lines of hus-
bandry are followed they pay large
profits in favorable seasons. Another
class of farmers are interested in
wheat or corn production, both of
which are profitable branches of agri-
culture.
The farmer engaged in specializa-
tion crops finds himself unemployed
part of the year. If his labors are rea-
sonably rewarded for time devoted to
raising and marketing crop of wheat,
corn, potatoes or fruit, IL should be his
ambition to add to his agricultural op-
erations the production of other things
that will pay profit the balance of
the year. To obtain the largest posi-
BILE recompense from agriculture the
farmer should arrange for steady en-
ployment the year around.
Special crops can be exploited in
conjunction with live stock husbandry.
If the farmer raises a crop of clover it
leaves the soil in elegant condition for
a crop of potatoes, while the clover
will make excellent feed for live stock.
A crop of potatoes leaves the ground
in prime condition for wheat seeded
down to clover. Live stock industry
in conjunction with special crop pro-
duction will not only give the farmer
remunerative employment at all sea-
sons. but the rotation of crops and
feeding live stock will keep up the
fertility of the land.

Unique Relationship Of Potato.

An authority tells us that the pota-
to has large and unique relation
ship. Tobacco, tomatoes, eggplant
and peppers belong to the family.
Probably that is why the potato bug
is so often destructive to these crops.
1t is asked: How can potato grow
other potato vines from the eyes,
since 1t is not root, fruit or seed?
That is answered by way of illustra-
ton: A stem of almost any plant
will produce another plant from the
place where the leaves come out on
1t. If one will break off a piece Of
rose bush and plant 1t in a favorable
place 1t will produce another rose
bush, just as potato will produce an
other vine.

layed until just after their Towering
season, Deutzia, spirea, forsythia and
many other popular shurbs are of this
character Soon after their Towering
season is over they begin to develop
buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter.
This will result in larger blooms on
the remaining buds. Such plants as
the hydrangea and the clematis,
which make their towering buds on
shoots grown the same year, should
be pruned heavily while dormant, as
this will give a greater profusion Of
shoots on which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduous flow

out, struggling branches either short
ened or removed and all suckers aris-
ing from the roots should be de.
stroyed. Where shrubs are planted
in clumps branches should be cut out
