Sod Easins For Trees.

The landscape gardeners of one
OF New York City's parkways have
devised an attractive way of protect
ing the base CT tree-trunks by arrang-
ing square border OF sod. two feet
wide, around each one of the trees
bordering the boulevard. In this way
the soil between the border and the
tree-trunk may always be kept loose,
allowing the moisture of rains to soak
into the ground and nourish the roots.
We're i: not for this sod basin the
gravel path. coming close to the tree,
would, in time. become firmly trodden
down, causing the tree to suffer ac-
cordingly.
The idea is one that could be adopt
ed elsewhere to good advantage.

the other a pet. 1t is not a difference

worked, a difference in the money
they have earned for the owner.
All the milk of these COWS has been
weighed and tested for three years.
a record has been kept of every
pound Of feed consumed by each ami
NAL, both summer and winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average II $50 pounds of milk, con-
tanning 4O5 pounds OF butter fat, but
during the same time Gilt averaged
only $3.50 pounds of milk, with 1873
pounds Of butter fat.
These cows were both cared for in
the same way; they were given the
same kinds of feed and allowed to
eat al they wanted Gold ate one
naif more than Gilt. but produced
three times as much milk.
Equal amounts Of feed made in the
one case 1SS pounds of butter fat
and I'm. the other 100 pounds. The
one COW produced nearly twice as
much as the other from exactly the
same feed in kind and amount.

shaft, which was sos feet deep. Mr.
Stark was killed and Eggers had his
ankles both broken and suffered
other injuries He had followed the
mines In Nevada for fifteen years
but this narrow escape turned his
mind toward other lines of employ
ment. In the fall of 1890 he was
elected recorder of Elko county a
position he held for sixtee nyears.
Four years ago he was efecter to the
office of State Controller, position
In which he has made a record for
efficiency and attention to duty.

America when very young. He was
raised on farm in Illinois and had
the theee usual struggle for aeduc
common to boys on the frontier at
