New York. Dec. 2S.-Prosecutor Mott of Newark, N. J., said today that he expects to have all three of the Ward law sisters within his jurisdiction by the middle of next week, and he will endeavor to place them all on trial at the same time.
 The delay in extradition is due to the fact that Governor Hughes will be absent from Albany over Christmas, and that the necessary papers cannot be presented to him for his signature until his return.
 There was rumor in Brooklyn to- night that New Jersey detectives who visited that borough this afternoon had discovered thirty more suicide notes similar to those found when Mrs. Car oline Martin was arrested here in an uptown hotel Prosecutor Mott to- night would not confirm or deny the run1or.

NEW METHOD IN PLANTING
New Method i'm Planting Trees Shows
How to Obtain Better Re-
Suits.

Tree planting reyolutionizes. 1t is
an article of faith among fruit grow
ers that fruit tree must be planted in
properly prepared soil, large, wide,
shallow hole, the roots carefully
spread out in all directions and ar
ranged near the surface with a slight
upward bearing at the ends.
Small quantities of the finer soil
are first worked In among the roots,
hollow places caused by arching 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.
But Spencer U. Pickering, with his
recent researches, declares that prop
er tree planting means small hole,
roots doubled up anyhow, the trees
stuck In, the soil thrown in and ram
med down as for gate post. With
extensive experiments SO per cent
show In favor Of the new simple
method, ~ show no difference, and
IA per cent show against the new
way. BY whatever criterion the trees
are gagged the new method is said
to have better results than the ortho-
dox. Although 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
flbrous roots. In planting the import
ant thing is to induce fresh roots for
nation, and ramming does this more
rapidly than the old wayTwin Falls
Times.

COUNTRY LIFE PROBLEMS

Rural society betterment, educa-
tional and Industrial evolution will
advance as fast as material prosper
ity allows, and no faster.--Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
Truthfully spoken, more truthful
ly, in fact, than many columns of
matter about rural life conditions the
daily newspapers usually print.
There are problems of rural life
just as there are problems Of city
life. President Roosevelt recently
sent out a commission to investigate
the rural problems, but no commits
sion could solve them.
The farmer, as well as anybody,
realizes the problems he has to face.
He could face them better IL he had
more money to do 1t with. Those
people who are so eager to tell the
farmer how he can improve his con-
ditiOn would be OF real help IL they
could tell the farmer how he could
get more money for his crops and
live stock. Given the money the farm
er will look after his improvements
himself.
ne farmer VINO mas money In the
bank is not the one who needs lee
lures on farm economy. Neither is
the farmer who can't pay his grocery
bill. Most Of the would-be improvers
OF the farmer seem to overlook the
fact that there are rich farmers as
well as poor ones.
The real work to be one, the work
that the Farmers union is doing SO
well, is In teaching the strong to help
share the burdens OF the weak, in ex-
employing the lessons of fraternity
and helpfulness.
The farmer is asking for a square
deal, not for theory. Those who
cannot give it to him might as well
turn their attention to other direc-
tons. National Co-Operator.

HERD AS SOIL IMPROVER.
Some Claim They Add to Land More
than They Remove

With the possible exception of al.
falfa, ! do not believe there is any
better pasture for hogs than common
red clover. They like it and do well
on 1t, but 1t does not supply COM
|plete ration. On account of it's small
stomach the hog cannot eat enough
bulky feed to make rapid and cheap
gains, hence clover must be supple
mented with more condensed feed.
have found it best to feed hogs on
clover and a half ration OF grain or
meal. Gains are more rapid IL more
grain Is feed, but If large amount is
given the grain is at extra cost. A
light ration of grain will cause the
hog to use more clover and produce
cheaper pork.
The kind of feed will depend upon
the values of grain and other stuffs
MY experience has not proven it pro-
fitable to use high-priced feeds but /
depend upon corn. Well-bred pigs
should make fifteen to eighteen
pounds OF pork for each bushel of
corn consumed on clover pasture.
1t Is a mistake to pasture any grass
too close during the early part of the
season. Glover should be allowed to
take good start before the hogs are
turned on it, and when it gets too
tough, 1t should be clipped with the
mower at intervals of week or ten
days. In this way new crop will be
kept coming on, which Is fresh.
This Is not wasting clover, but pre-
vents 1t from poisoning and getting
too tough for the hogs. The life of the
clover may be greatly prolonged by
this method of clipping.
Cows with pigs following them
should not be allowed to run on clio
yer when it Is wet with dew or rain,
as 1t is likely to produce scours. This
ailment is one to be avoided, as it is
often difficult to control. 1t makes a
loss in the growth and is an expen-
sive trouble.
Pigs should have plenty of fresh
clean water and cool place to lie in
during the days of summer. A box
salt, wood ashes and char
coal should always be on hand. These
let as a fermifuge and prevent dis
ease, and meet the hogs craving for
mineral matter in the feed.
When giving the hogs the grain |
eed, care should be taken that ami
