THE SENTIMENT OF TREES

A LMOST everyone has the memory
II of some tree enshrined in his
"A heart from childhood. 1t need not
be an important tree, nor a specially
handsome tree, but just common tree.
Every boy who has lived among trees
can tell at a glance without any
botany the name of any tree; he knows
the quality of the fruit, the shape of
the leaves, the fragrance of the bark.
Every country, every state has some
trees dear to the hearts of it's peo-
pie. To a native New Highlander there
is no tree around which clusters more
fond memories than the sugar maple.
The sugar maple always reminds them
of "sapping time" and recalls visions
of the old sap house around whose
sunny clearing the snow melted early.
The squirrel and chipmunk running
about, the whole atmosphere suggest
ing the coming of spring, made the
carrying of trimming pals of sap
real frolic.
John Burroughs, the naturalist,
writes of the "motherly old apple tree
which has seen lots of trouble" This
saying applies to the sugar maple. For
the old sugar maple has truly seen
lots of trouble; while her life blood is
dripping into the bucket from the sugar
holes in her trunk, she hangs out her
delicate fringes of bloom and does the
best she can with the sap which is left
to make foliage and new wood.
In many New England towns the

planting all vegetables for the home
garden in rows. We are able to main
tain better order and better appear
ance throughout the garden, and 1t
facilitates matters greatly in cultiva-
ton. The only way in which to secure
the perfectly formed heads of lettuce,
clean cut and well shaped radishes,
beets, turnips, ETC., is by being able to
cultivate about the individual plants.
Good results cannot be secured by
crowding plants; therefore much trou-
BILE can be eliminated by planting in
rows rather than in solid beds. Some
vegetables demand a greater amount of
fertilizer than others. In such cases
we have made 1t a rule to use a good
fertilizer in the row. To repeat, we
have secured excellent results from
the use of pulverized sheep manure.
This fertilizer can be secured from any
local scotsman, and 1t is product
that is easily handled.
When the garden plot is ready for
planting stretch a line where row is
to be planted, and with a hoe make
furrow about five or six inches deep;
into the bottom of this furrow sprinkle
the pulverized fertilizer, replace the
soil that was ridged up in making the
furrow, mix thoroughly with the use
of the hoe; make the surface of the
soil smooth, and you are ready to
plant the seed at the side of the line,
or if it Is the plants from the seed bed,
plant beside the line the same way.
Plants of all vegetables that are in
season can now be secured from the
seedsmen, if one has not made use of

MAKE YOUR OWN GARDEN

n COURSE it is possible to have a
ID garden by getting the florist to
" send a man to dig the place and
fill it with a wagon load of plants, but
what interest would you have in them?
They are perfect strangers to you.
Had you sown the seeds yourself,
anxiously waited for their germina
ton, pricked out the seedlings to get
stronger plants watered, trimmed and
pruned and cultivated, they would
have a personal interest in your eyes.
Why should we not be our own gar
deners, and make for ourselves the
richness of color and beauty to be got
from the flowers? Why should We not
be prosaic and practical and raise our
own lettuce, radishes and peas? Or
why should we not have our own
strawberry bed, where we can pick our
own Strawberries?
Gardening appears to have terrors
for many people; some think they can't
afford to have a garden, others that 1t
is an art requiring years of study.
The best qualification is love for it.
You will study then in spite of your
self, and you will find pleasure in even
the seedsmen's catalogues.
An amateur will have no trouble in
managing fifty by one hundred feet;
he may have to have the heavy work
done in the beginning, but he can man

bark and with a decided air of gen.
tility. The blossom is a dainty little
tassel of pale green and the fruit a
little triangular nut, sweet and edible.
A fine oak is a noble tree and more
songs and poetry have been written
about the oak, 1.-THE grand old oak"
than about any other tree. Its mas
sive trunk, it's defiance of storm, its
great branches, have united to make it
the synonym of courage and strength.
The oak is a child at 40 years, and has
done little more than fasten it's roots
in the earth. The wood of the oak
is remarkable for it's strength and
toughness, and it's leaves for their
bright green color.
Trees contribute much to the worlds
beauty. They have appealed to the
artist and to the poet. We read and
sing of the sturdy oak, the lofty pine,
the stately elm, the weeping willow,
the slender fir, the broad leaved syca-
more, the graceful pepper, and the TALL
silver-shafted palm tree. The power
to gain pleasure and instruction from
the common and familiar is no mean
talent, and the study of trees is wide
and fruitful field for cultivation.

American elm raises her lofty trunk
and wide spreading branches. In some
villages ancient elms stand in double
rank along the main street, their
shadows falling on gray shingled roofs
and grassy lawns. 1t is from the elm
that the gorgeous golden and black
oriole loves to hang it's pouch, return
ing year after year to nest in the
same tree.
Trees are like men in some partic-
ulars. When they grow out in the
open they are more individual in type,
more independent, throwing their roots
and branches wide. In the forest they
crowd one another and each looks more
like his neighbor. They lose much of
their individuality as men do under
conditions which obtain in crowded
centers of life.

formed tree, with silky LEAKAGE, smooth

BEGGARY

King Cophetua, as the story runs, had wed
the beggar maid and was suspecting nothing
when to his considerable uneasiness, he dis
covered that his wife was worth ten million
dollars in her own right.
What faux pas have I been unwittingly
guilty OFF, exclaimed his majesty, for he was
very scrupulous
The queen tapped his cheek roguishly. I'm
Pittsburg where 1 was brought up" she ex-
planned "a girl who has only ten millions is
to all practical purposes a beggar."
And If he thought with regret OF the ideals
of a former age, 1t was too late to insist on
them.-Puck.

age so much himself. He must have
tools, good soil, etc., all of which we
have talked of in previous issues. So
make up your mind to be your own
gardener. Be ready to rise early, spend
an hour in your garden, and when the
days work is over you will want to
spend another hour in the garden, and
you will find these hours full of pleas
ure and happiness.

If one will take the extra precaution
and care to plant and fertilize, much
better results can be secured and more
gratifying returns pay for all extra
care taken at planting time.

material. Mrs. Gibbs was trying to
throw the lamp out doors. Her
daughters, hearing her scream, ran

flames with their hands, which
caused their burns. One of them
