trees should be mulched about their
roots with straw OR manure through
out the winter.
The tendency OF beginners is to set
such trees too deep in the ground.
In very dry sandy soils they may be
set little deper than they grow in
the woods or nursery. In heavy clay
loan, however, they should be planted
just about the depth at which they
grew naturally.
In planting, the tops of the trees
should be cut back considerably to
balance the cut back root system. III
cutting back, it is best generally to
leave central leader or trunk as far
as possible.
In shortening side branches, it is
best to cut back to side twig, so
the part of the limb which is left will
be terminated by a growing point
Evergreen trees, including pine,
spruce, fir, cedar and the like, are
best, however transplanted just as
they are beginning their new growth
in spring. In moving the evergreens,
it should be borne in mind that their
roots will not stand being exposed to
the drying influence of the air even
for few minutes. Small evergreens
should have their roots plunged in
tub Of water as soon as they are dug
up, and kept in water until they are
planted in their permanent position.
In setting any kind of trees, the
earth should be tramped very firmly
about the roots as fast as it is shaken
in with the shovel. The last inch of
soil at the top should be left loose,
however, so the soil will not bake
about the tree.

based in each respect upon the same
principles as planting ornamental!
shade trees. This applies to season
of planting, method of pruning, handl-

ly done on the supposition that such
trees will break down if their limbs
However, "breaking down may be al
leviated by shaping the tree from the
beginning so it will make straight,
upward central trunk rather than
forming forks. Any tree which has
opposite buds like the maple is liable
to form forks when the terminal bud
at the growing tip dies in winter,
Such forks may be corrected the first
winter after it forms, by cutting off
one side of the fork, allowing the
other side to straighten up and be-
come the leader or main trunk of the
tree. If cutting close to the trunk in
removing one side of the fork is like
ly to leave too large a wound, the
young stub thus cut may be left
from four to six inches long SO as to
contain a few buds. These will push
out as side branches rather than re-
placing the fork.

tends to make it form Objectionable

1NvERsAL sUFFRAGE.

Three countries in Europe are facing
grave disorders on account of re-
stricted suffrage. There is a hint of
! revolution in the air. Hungary, Bel
GUM and Holland are filled with I'M
rest. and violent outbreaks against the
government are quite possible.
These states are not like unhappy
and incompetent Portugal. They are
neither debt-swamped nor sinking
from poverty into deeper distress. All
of them are filed with vital energy.
They are rich in hope and in the
achievements of a long period of pros
perity and progress. Their disturbed
and menacing condition is due to the
gross injustice of their limited suf-
fraRe In all of them the demand of
men who would not stop short of
revolution if they had the power to
overcome the forces of the govern
ment is for equal rights for all citizens
at the polls.
America knows that this is rea-
sonable and righteous request. In this
country few men doubt that universal
suffrage is the only sure foundation
for any government. However they
object to some consequences of equal
rights at the polls they are sensible
enough to realize that worse things
might be expected to come from any
form of restricted voting.
There is no logical or practical stop
ping place short of entire equality in
the elective franchise. Experience has
proved that nothing less will satisfy any
nation. Hungary, Belgium and Hol-
land will all have to come to the broad
foundation upon which government
rests in the United States. They will
travel by different roads and their
journeys will be of unequal duration
but they will get to the same goai in

ma TIME OF FLowERs.

Q Love! do you know the spring is here.
With the lure of her magic flute?
The old earth breaks into passionate
bloom
At the kiss of her fleet, gay foot.
The burgeoning leaves on the almond
bough,
And the leaves on the glad lakes breast
Are crowned with the limpid, delicate
light,
OF the gems in your turban-crest;
The bright pomegranate buds unfold,
The frail wood lilies appear,
Like the blood-red jewels, you used to
fling
Ger the maidens that danced at the feast
of spring
To welcome the newborn year.
Q Love! do you know the spring is here?-
The dawn and the dusk grow rife,
With scent and song and tremulouS sur
The blind, rich travail of life.
The winds are drunk with the odorous
breath
OF henna, sirisha and neem.
Do they ruffle your long, strange, Tranquil
sleep,
Or trouble your lonely dream
With poignant thoughts of the world you
loved
And the beauty you held so dear?
Do you long for a brief bhthe hour TO
wake
From your changeless slumber, for sweet
loves sake,
To welcome the newborn year?

BASEBALL.

This is also the season of the year
when the baseball magnates, the man
| ayers of the big league teams the
star players who syndicate their idea
'abCut the game and everything else
under the sun to the four ends of the
earth, and the sport writer's of all de-
grees of fame, consume as much news
paper space as they can with technical
and more or less learned dissertations
to the effect that the results of the
ga mes for the worlds championship
will depend upon the condition and ef-
fectiveness of the opposing pitchers
What profound deduction! Has
there ever been a championship series,
Stree they were instituted, which this
was not so? AS a matter of fact isn't
it generally true of all major and lesser
leagu ball games that their results
depend upon the condition and the
effectiveness of the opposing pitchers.
That seems to be a rule with rare eX-
ceptions 1t is true that occasionally
a team will make a few hobbies and go
to pieces behind a twirler who is pitch
ing gilt-edged ball. Sometimes a chance
hut at an opportune time wins a game.
But take it from the beginning to the

pitchers are the players on whom falls
the brunt of the contest. This hasn't
been the case since baseball was first
played, but it certainly has been so
during the past decade and longer, and
il seems to be becoming more so with
each succeeding season. The pitcher is
the king of the nine. And he is usual
ly credited with either the defeat or
the victory that perches on the banner
OF his team.
There is much more to baseball be-
slices effective pitching, to-be sure But
o. late years it has been emphasized
above all the other departments of the
game. And this may not be the very
best thing for the future of baseball.
People are apt to tire before long or
being treated to little more than pitch
ing duels between experts at that art
The winning or losing of games almost
solely on the ability of one man on
team to deliver the goods is likely to
became a trif1e to monOtonous to hold
the attention of the sport-loving pub
lie
And it might not be a bad plan for
the experts who control the baseball
situation throughout the nation to be-
gin to devise plans that will minimize
the Importance of pitchers to the sue
cess of a team. Surely there must be
a feasible and fair way to open up the |
game so that the pitchers will cease
to be the whole show.
