How to Plant a Tree.

In anticipation of the needs of
Arbor Day the Oklahoma experiment
station has in press a bulletin on
"Tree Culture" by Professor Morris
of the horticultural department.
While the bulletin treats of many fea-
lures, such as the best trees to plant
lor shade or post and pole production,
perhaps the most timely and useful
advice is that relating to planting
which is as follows:
The trees should be set a little deep
sr in the soil than they stood in the
nursery row, or where previously
grown. The soil must be worked In
underneath the large roots n lamp
ed firm about them. The top of the
tree should be leaned slightly to the
southwest.
This enables the tree to resist the
hard south winds and before the end
of the first season the tree will. be
standing in an erect position. 1t Is a
good plan to shake the tree several
times while tamping the dirt around
the roots and to pour water ABOUT
the tree in order to bring the soil IN
contact with every bit of root surface
After the water has been poured on,
another inch or two Of dry soil and
good surface should be thrown about
the tree to prevent baking.

The longer apples remain on the
tree, unless the weather becomes too
cold to permit their exposure, the bet
ter the flavor and the keeping quail
ties. The fruit that comes to perfec-
ton the farthest north, as that in the
Hood river region Of Oregon, appears
to have the finest keeping qualities
without deterioration in flavor.
OF the varieties raised in the East
the winter russets keep longest with
out being put in cold storage and real
ly reach the full perfection Of flavor
only late in the winter or the early
spring. 1t used to be considered a
marvellous and almost an impossible
thing to keep apples yer from the
fall till the first summer apples ap-
peared, but with methods of cold
storage SO extensively used as they
are now this is easily achieved and
with far less deterioration in flavor
than might reasonably be expected.

Fertilizer for Meadows.

Experiment station tests have shown
that nitrate of soda is the one fertiliz-
er most needed by meadows in the
spring. As early in the spring, the
second year after wheat, if clover has
been grown, as new fresh growth
shows, make a mixture of equal weight
of nitrate of soda and fine dry earth,
and apply broadcast at the rate of 800
pounds per acre. 1t would be quite
useless to use any other form of fer
%tilizer, for everything depends upon
immediate availability of the plaut
food. BY this treatment not only will
wild grasses be kept back, but also
sporadic patches of clover. The young
timothy will develop very thick
growth, due to very extensive stooling.
The cost of fertilizer and it's applica-
ton will be about 81 per acre if no fall
application was made, and 1915 if It
was necessary to fall fertilize.

REFLECTING GODS GLORY.
By Rev. Robert Stuart Macart

by Rev. ROBERT stuart macarthur.
And it came to pass. when he
came down from the Mount hat Moses
visit not that the skin of his face
shone while he talked with him.-Exo-
dus 34:29.
Very wonderful indeed was the in
terview of Moses with God on the
noun during the period of forty days
and forty nights. Moses was there in
intimate communion with God, and
during this entire period he did
neither eat nor drink. He was thus
taught, by a strange and blessed ex-
perience, that man does not live by
bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out Of the mouth Of God.
In developing the thoughts of this
incident, attention may fittingly be
called to the shining of the face of
Moses. Moses carried with him from
God the two tables of the testimony
written by the finger of God; but he
also carried back to the people the
best kind of personal adornment-a
shining face. No mar is ever so beau
tifully adorned as the man whose face
glows with the light Of God.
The face often is the man. The soul
looks out through the eyes; the heart
often voices itself by the lips. A shin
ing face is suggestive of a peaceful
spirit, and a musical voice of a proper
ly attuned soul. 1t thus comes to pass
that when men have lived with God
they carry the very glory of God in
their faces. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if ever after that moment until his
mysterious death Moses was a differ
ent man in face and in spirit from
what he had been before.
Mysterious joy often comes into the
hearts of Gods people, and the glory of
the Lord often shines in their faces.
Christian joy will make a homely face
beautiful; a rugged and scanned face,
if illuminated with the glory of God, is
a sight to charm the soul of an artist
and to inspire with joy the heart of an
angel. God loves joy and not gloom.
The gloomy Christian misrepresents
the Heavenly Father; he practically
says that God is a hard master. A long
face on a Christian man is truly a
false face. Do not tell me that men OF
the world are joyous. They v know
genuine joy, such as they might know
if they were men of God. They call a
life of sin a life of pleasure. 1t is a
life of slavery. He who serves the
devil serves a hard master. There is
a great difference between Joy and
happiness. Happiness is just what

A Level-Headed Woman.

A peculiar divorce suit was decided at
Grangeville, Idaho, by Judge Steel, who
granted a divorce to Mrs. Anna G. Muir
ply. whose husband, J. w. Murphy, has.
been considered dead for five years. Muir
ply lived with his family on a farm near
Grangeyille until six years ago, when he
suddenly disappeared and has not been
heard of since. Mrs. Murphy recently
exercised her widows right to file on
land. and to make sure that no compli-
cations would arise instituted action for
divorce on the grounds of desertion, the.
decree being granted yesterday. Mrs.
Murphy has also continued during her
husbands absence to keep MS life lnsur-
ance assessments paid up. and at the ex-
p~iration Of seven years from the time OF
his disappearance will be able to collect

TO CONSERVE A q

Scenic Aspects at Niagara.

Scenic Aspects at Niagara.
In June, 1906, Congress passed an act
authorizing and directing the secretary
of war to appoint "a committee OF land,
scape architects and others well fitted
by training and experience to advise him
in deviSing such measures as will result
i'll protecting II preserving and improv-
ing the scenic aspect on the American
side of the Niagara river, particularly in
what is known as the milling district,
Immediately below the falls" where a
HOUSES occupy the brink of the gorge for
nearly a mile.
Acting under this authority, President
Taft, while still secretary of war, APP
pointed Frank d. Millet, Fred Law Ohm
stead, John Stephan Sewell and Charles
w. kutz, the latter a captain of engi-
neers in the army, who have recently
submitted their report to Secretary Dick
inson. Their investigation was thorough
and they have already accomplished
much good by moral suasion among the
property owners and manufacturers
along the brink of the gorge, and they
recommend, as the only permanent solu-
ton of the problem, the acquisition by
the United States of a strip OF property
extending the whole length of the gorge,
not less than 100 yards wide, along the
rim, this strip to be converted into a ma
tional park and reservation as fast as
the buildings now upon it can be gradu-
ally removed.
The committee declares that if pres
ent conditions continue and the gorge
remains in private ownership, not only
will the disf1gurements increase and null
tiply, but the extent of them will in
crease rapidly until the whole gorge will
entirely lose its value from an aesthetic
point of view.
A bill has been prepared at the war
department under the direction Of Sec
rotary Dickinson, and has been intro
duced into both houses, to carry out the
recommendations of the commission, and
the multitudes of people who feel a
share in the worlds greatest wonder will
be gratihed when it becomes a law and
the suggestions of the commission are
carried out.

SELF REALIZATION.
By Rev. Walter Y

By Rev. Walter w.
Text: II count not myself to have
apprehended; but this one thing do,
forgetting those things which are be-
hind, and reaching forth unto those
things which are before, | press to-
ward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Jesus Christ
Philippians BIB, ID.
There is great danger in mediocrity.
The dead level of ~commonality, uni
versal mediocrity, would be monoton-
Gus indeed. 1t would be like living
forever on the vast rolling prairie and
never seeing a hill or mountain. We
need tall men, tall physically. tall
mentally, and tall morally. We need
beautiful women, beautiful in face,
form, heart and soul. Such men and
such women are the source of inspira-
ton for others striving. They lead
to high and noble endeavor.
The primary and strongest desires
are those of hunger and love. These
desires have been and are the COM
polling forces in society. And when
kept under the control of the directive
agent, the mind or soul of man, and
the soul influenced and nodded by the
law of Christ, these desires will lead
to the highest and best possible human
attainment.
The desire to advance is natural and
proper; but there is great danger OF
error in judgment, danger of selecting
a course that will not lead to progress
and advancement.
There must be an enlightened CON
science and an illumined soul as we'll
as a developed judgment.
Man by his choices and initiative
can change the current of society. He
can bring into light new ideas, call
out new purposes and lead to a de-
sired and desirable goal. And If ever
in the history of the United States
the sage was needed, he is needed now.
We need a seer who can see and a
prophet to teach and lead.
Christ comes to us in His infinite
wisdom and power and offers us His
gentle, patient and loving help in the
control of our desires. By communing
with God through Christ, by the in
dwelling of the Christ spirit our de-
sires may be brought into harmony
with the Divine will. By daily COM
partnership with Jesus u desires and
purposes will be fashioned by His
thought and life, and in this trans
forming progress we shall find that
we are attaining to our Highest and
fullest self-realization.

An insufficient supply of bees will
hinder the setting of fruit. While 9th

rely chiefly upon honey bees. Expert
