WIEN TO PLANT EvERGREENS
sest Time to Put Them in Ground Is
Early In Spring Just When
Seasons start.

A New Jersey farmer writes to know
whether it will be safe to plant ever
greens in August.
The best time TO plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth Is starting 10
IS a mistake to plant too early and II
the planting is delayed until June the
trees are not apt to do well unless
frequently watered and mulched dur
Ing the summer months.
Some planting is done in August,
but we do not believe the inexperi-
enced can make their trees grow when
planted so late.
Nurseries frequently put out their
evergreens in July and August but
more from necessity than choice be-
cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do the work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered
and a dust mulch maintained around
the roots until winter sets in.
1t Is difficult to tell by the looks Of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring trees that die turn
brown within two or three weeks
The time to plant eyergreens, is, in
our opinion, in the spring and we
see not reason why fall planting
should be resorted to unless through
necessity.

Prevention Better Than Cure.

Preventive measures are always
more practical than remedies, whether
1t be in fighting crop and fruit pests
or diseases which assault the herds
and fiocks. In fighting fruit pests it
will be a great deal more effective to
remove and destroy the infested fruit
this year than to try TO overcome the
pest next year by spraying. This is
especially true of the cooling moth.
Remove and destroy the worm-eaten
apples as soon as they fall to the
ground, and there will be a great deal
less trouble next year.

An eastern mining paper, in COM

gives considerable space to Belmont,
from which the following excerpt is
taken. The article, which gives the
local property a strong boost, was
written by a correspondent at Phila-

OPERATION

An operation that promises to
prove entirely successful was per-

Frank Everett, who killed Foreman
Malone of the Nina shops four
years ago.
The operation was performed at

such an unusual and delicate one
that eight doctors participated in
or were spectators.
A portion of the occipital bone
nearly two inches square was re-
moved and a portion of the brain
which was diseased was taken out

case, his epileptic condition, which
was laughed at by the alienists,
but now has been demonstrated to
having been due to the presence of

there since his boyhood.

started to secure his pardon if he
recovers.
