about three feet in diameter and about
two and one-half feet deep for a two
and One-half inch tree. Fill the hole
with good rich SOIL which can be got
from vacant lots or purchased from
the nearby florists.
A stout box or iron tree guard or q
wire netting protector should be placed
around the tree trunk SO as to protect
1t from hungry horses, careless team
sters and the lawn mower. 1t also
acts as a support.
Manure and fertilizer may be ap-
piled to your trees and shrubs at this
time of the year. This manure should
be spread over the ground around the
tree and left lying until spring, when
it may be raked together and burned
or spaded into the ground.
Whenever possible all the leaves
dropping from the shrubs should be
left lying on the ground They furnish
a winter mulch and form leaf mold
which is as good as any fertilizer All
dead wood and unsightly branches can
be removed at this time of the year
without affecting the tree. Timely
tree trimming is one OF the great es-
sentials in proper tree development.
The simplest rule to follow In trim
ming ornamental trees is this: Cut out
all the dead wood, withered branches,
stubs or main trunks as soon as they
are seen. All living branches which
are Objectionable should be cut out
early In the spring.
All cuts should be made with q sharp
saw, well set. The cut should be made
close and parallel with the parent
branch from which it grew, and the
tut should be left smooth or with
slightly concave surface. The wound
should then be covered with heavy
coating OF coal tar to aid in keeping
out the moisture and rot spores.
Where the tree has been neglected
and cavities have formed in the trunk
Of the tree something should be done
to stop the increase Of the opening, for
the rotting will continue until the
opening has become so long as to en-
fircle the greater portion OF the tree,
and very often the entire center has
been destroyed.
! In cases where the life OF a tree can
/ be prolonged by treating 1t the cavity
! should be carefully scraped and
cleaned OF all the dead and decayed
wood; then give It thorough wash.

Genius and Insanity,

DR.. Percival II. Reaves, the aiienist
Of Denver, discussed at an alienist
banquet genius and insanity.
Genius and insanity are sometimes
hard to tell apart" he said. Take
Dostoviesky, the great Russian novel
ist. He was surely a little insane.
There was a touch of insanity, too, in
Swift, in Rossetti and in Poe.
"As a matter Of fact" concluded DR..
Reaves, smiling, eve might say that
the chief difference between genius and
insanity is that the lunatic Is always
sure Of bread and board. ."-Philadel-

Fine. fine" replied the poet.
"How much do you expect to clear to

Mr.. Riley soberly.

Prevention Of Hog Diseases.

Where large punches OF hogs are led
on the same lot year after year disease
is almost sure to take its toll in time
unless thorough cleaning and disinfect-
ing are the practice. Disease germs
accumulate season after season, the
ground becomes filthy, needs air, and
when a real favorable time comes the
hogs will suffer. Where possible about
the best way to clean lot is to plow
1t and grow a cultivated crop on it..
Cleanliness is the great disease enemy.

to the whole Northwest. The work is

GAMBLE
romOter Hester Wants to Take
Out a $4,000 Policy
AGAINST Rain.
UNITED PRESS IlnAsnD WIRE.

PRESS LEASED
Oakland, Feb. 17.-Acting for Sid
Hester, Clarence Coleman, of the
Coleman Insurance Company, of this
city, today cabled the London Lloyds
Insurance Company a request for a
policy for $4,000 against rain on
Washington's birthday, when Hester
will stage the Nelson-Wolgast fight
alta Point Richmond.
Hester has planned no covering for
his arena, and he fears that should
it rain on the day of the fight his re-
ceipts will be cut down to such an
extent that he would lose heavily on
the venture.
Coleman declared today that he
was unable to predict whether the
London insurance writer's would con-
sent to issue so extraordinary a poll
cy, nor could he estimate what the
premium might be. The premium
would depend largely upon the
weather forecasts and atmospheric
conditions as hours previous to the
fight day. These, he said, probably
would be learned by telegraph should
they consent to issue the policy, and
the premium estimated in a direct
ratio with the probability of rain.
The promoter already has insured
the life of Eddie Smith, who will ref
cree the battle.

Plenty of Salmon.
In the annual report of Master Fish
Warden McAllister, lately submitted,
it is shown that the 1909 crop of
salmon harvested in the waters of the
Columbia river. Oregon side, amount
ed to 17,604,997 pounds. which is a
decrease of S5S,549 pounds. The
chief reason for the decrease is
thought to be the shortening of the
open season by the legislature. Blue
back salmon alone show a gain in the
pack over 1909.
