Servant Women No More.

During the last thirty years the dc
mand for servants has doubled. while
the supply has increased only hN half
in the last decade only by per cent. In
1870 there WAS one to every twelve:
even i'm the recent crisis, when the cities
were filled with unemployed, the demand
still outrau the supply. And YET. during
the thirty wears past. the number Of self
supporting womeu-that is, the actual Ia
hor markct-has more than trehled.

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
for 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 little deep
er In the soil than they stood in the
nursery row, or where previously
grown. The soil must be worked in
underneath the large roots and 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.

RipeninR Apple. ON Trees.

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
iy reach the full perfection of favor
only late in the winter or the early
spring 1t used to be considered a
marvellous and almost an impossible
thing to keep apples over from the
fall till the first summer apples APP
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.
