perienced planter cuts all the branches
back alike, while the experienced
planter bears in mind that his pur.
pose is to check evaporation.
He knows that the smaller branches
make the heaviest demands and that
the more vigorous ones are more sap
py. He cuts out the smaller thin
branches and leaves the more vigor-
Gus ones. He can give the tree a
severe pruning without running its
form.
The roots should be pruned so that
they will contain no bruised roots and
so that they will correspond with the
size of the top.
The top and the roots should be
evenly balanced.
Numbers of trees die because they
have too many roots, that is, they
form a thick mass that prevents the
soil from packing around the stronger
roots and the tree can not make mois.
ture connections with the soil.

This requires but a comparatively
short time and when he transplants
he takes off a portion of the vegeta-
BILE leaves to balance the amount of
the root system that is destroyed by
re-setting in order that the water
losses through the top will not exceed
the water supply from below. We
may safely say that whenever a tree
or plant dies it is the fault of the
planter, unless it is practically dead
when operated on.
Many times when q tree is half
dead and has but scarcely any roots
judicious pruning and proper pack
ing of the roots around the tree,
would save it.
How much to prune plants and
trees, will depend upon the locality.

CHAPTER xxxlIl.-continued.

About the same time, the man who
was still her husband according to
the law, rolled out OF berth number
two. There was an amazing clarity
to his vision. He lurched as he made
his way to the mems room, but it was
plainly the trains swerve and not an
inner lurch that twisted the fortnight
of his progress.
He squeezed into the mems room
like a whole crowd at once, and sang
out, Good morning, all" with won
derful heartiness. Then he paused
over a wash basin, rubbed his hands
gleefully and proclaimed, like another
Chantecler advertising a new day:
"Well-I'm sober again!"
Three cheers for you,' said his
rival in radiance, bridegroom Lathrop.
How does it feel?" demanded Ash
ton, smiling so broadly that he en-
countered the lather on his brush.
While he sputtered Wellington was
Tipping water over his hot head and
incidentally over Ashton.

When the excitement over his re-

versation:

"They-who?' said Ira, through his
flying toothbrush.

Mushroom. This was more than Well
ington saw, for he went on talking
from behind a towel:
"Well, If l were a bridegroom and
had a bride like that, it would take
more than quarrel to send me to
another BERTH"
The others made gestures which he
could not see. His enlightenment
came when Mallory snapped the towel
from his hands and glared into his
face with all the righteous wrath OF a
man hearing his domestic affairs pub
licly discussed.
Were you abiding to me- Mr..

Little Jimmie almost persisted with
apoplexy: You, your" he mumbled.

Mallory tossed him the towel again:

dignant Lathrop.
Mallory returned to Wellington with
n fiercer: whom, them"
He was in a dangerous mood, and
Ashton came to the recue: "Oh, don't
mind Wellington. He's not sober
yet"
This inspired suggestion came like

Why Is 1t that a mere cutting or
willow stake should be more success
full in the hands OF an experienced
person than a well rooted tree in the

The answer is simply the tree is a

have an adequate supply OF water.

Ing Ended.

The Lee county Teachers Institute,
! which has been in session in Keokuk

close, ended yesterday noon, when the

performed their work thoroughly and
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
One feature of the meeting proved to
be the lectures and readings by Prof.
MacMurray, of Ames, who, on each
morning the Institute was in session,
delivered lecture in the High school
assembly room to the teachers, and on
each afternoon gave reading from
well known authors and poets.
The visiting teachers, while In Keo-
kuk, were entertained In various
ways. They were shown the dam and
the works, and on another evening.
Jesse E. Baker entertained them with
musical entertainment, when a
dozen selections from his auxetophone
We're enjoyed.
More than IT'S teachers were enroll
ed at the Institute brought to a close
yesterday, and they came from prac-
tically every town and community in
the county and in addition. there were
some enrolled from outside counties.

Michigan railway commission has re-
celved a letter from the Detroit Unit
ed railway calling attention to the
proposed Detroit ordinance increasing
TIE tax on freight cars to $40 each.
Glasgow and Hemans
say they attach no more Importance
to the letter than they would TO a
communication from any common
carrier In the state. The letter fol-
lows:
Our attention has been called
10 proposed ordinance under
discussion before a committee OF
the Detroit common council re-
specting the operation OF our ex-
press cars in the city OF Detroit
AS We are advised. II Is proposed
TO exact a tax OF s. per car In

on each express car entering or

amount TO sum IN excess OF the

AS you are aware, the company
Is conducting this business ac-
cording to the state and federal
laws and It's rates are duly pub
lished and accepted by the COM
missions charged with the duty OF
enforcing such laws. While the

II must be realized that II We
!. are subjected 10 such discrimina-
