TREES AND TREE PLANTING.

Apropos to the recent proclamation
by his excellency, Governor Norris, for
.Arbor day, few suggestions may not
be out Of place. says Prof. F. s. Cooley
of the Bozeman agricultural college.
The corps of farmers institute work
ers has brought prominently to the at
tention of the people gathered at insti
tute meetings the Importance of plant
ing ornamental and useful trees about
the home.
The homestead should be looked upon
more and more as place to live; to
live the abundant life. rather than IA Il
mere money maker to provide means Of
town life later on.
\ special phase of the extension edu-
cation in agriculture during the season
has had to do with tree planting. Fu-
ture Institutes will continue the same
kind of instruction.
Kinds of trees-The poplar. box ell.
der. mountain ash. birch, soft NAPLES
and some Of the evergreens do we'll in
Montana. The earlier and harder varie-
ties of apples are good, such az the
Duchess. Yellow Transparent, Transcend
ent Crab Wealthy. Wagner and McIn-
tosh. Sour cherries and pums succeed
Bush fruits. currants and gooseberries
thrive. and raspberres do we'll if laid
down and covered in winter.
How to plant-Dig hole large
enough and deep enough for all the roots
so that the tree may set two inches
deeper than when taken up.
lrunr off bruised and broken roots
and excess of top. with Il sharp knife.
Fill i'll around the roots with the best
top soil and tramp it hard and firm.
Leave the surface two inches loose and
mellow and keep it mellow. Do not pour
in water and than leave the surface to
crack. but stir the soil and make mulch
t" hold the water. DO not pile straw
or manure about the tree stem. Keep
them II few inches away if used.
Set young trees. One or two year old
apple trees are best. Other sorts are
easier t" make live when Young Keep
the surface soil loose about trees and
keep animals away from them for few
years

that we came near losing Thanksgiving after
all. and that all the famous men Of the day got
into a very bitter quarrel over st and ate a
turkey dinner at daggers drawn, so TO speak.
The idea OF Thanksgiving day originated
With Alexander Hamilton, W~ashington's secre-
tary Of the treasury. who. IN August. 1883.
preached the subject at a cabinet meeting In
September, 1883, Elias Boudinot, a New Eng.
land member Of the house OF representative.
introduced a resolution requesting the presi.
lent TO set aside a day OF thanksgiving and
moved its adoption. The motion was seconded
by Roger sherman Of Connecticut. The resp
luton at once met with opposition. Many
members Of congress denounced the custom Of
sueh observances as efete and monarchicaI
ana some members became 30 personal IA
their discussions that blows were struck over
the matter In the streets OF New York which
then was the national capital. the sessions Of
congress being held in Federal han.

ana state. but the resolution passed both

terson's opposition prevented this spectacular
exhibition and Il finally was determined that
the DAY was a domestic holiday and should
be observed in the privacy Of the home after
the good old New England manner.
This settlement was gratifying TO Mrs. Wash.
inston, who as once made arrangements TO
hoid a levee In true colonial fashion az the
executive mansion on Franklin square. Every
one Of prominence in the new government was
invited, from the chief justice OF the supreme
court down, and they all came: for IN addition
20 being president George Washington was a
gentleman, and TO be asked 20 his house was a
social distinction.
Hamilton, however. eager 70 do anything cal.

servaneos likely to make Thanksgiving a noisy

pleasant feeling had been enEenderod between
cabinet factions. and the friction IN that quar-.
