trees should be millchcd 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. IL
cutting back, it is best generally to
leave a central leader or trunk as far
as possible.
In shortening side branches. It is
best to cut back to side twlg, SO
the part of the limb which is left will
be terminated by growing point.
Evergreen trees, including pine
spruce, fir, cedar and the like, are
best, however transplanted Just as
they are beginning their new growtl
in spring. In moving the evergreens
it should be borne In mind that theii
roots will not stand being exposed &c
the drying influence of the air ever
for o few minutes. Small evergreeri
should have their roots plunged in {
tub of water as soon as they are dut
up, and kept in water until they are
planted in their permanent position.

earth should be tramped very frml!

125,OO0 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In n report OF the House Committee
(Washingtonl appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All Of which ,s true and II is now
the part OF the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist In
Western Canada which, In addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found In the
letters contributed by some OF the
settlers. Fer instance: A former Min
nesotan,' writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says. applies generally 10
all of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four OF them
we're first class, one OF them very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and In 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as / have seen IN this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches OF
moisture, so that am thoroughly con.
WINGED that with normal conditions.
that Is, from twelve 10 fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural In
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
IN the world We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether Just as desirable Q country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds OF letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can.
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

Planting and Care of Trees
Plant in the Fall or Spring.
Or. J. c. Written, Professor Of Hor
ticuIture. University Of
Missouri.

Shade trees may be planted either
In fall or spring. In fact 1t may be
done at any time in the year after the
leaves are off in the fall, and before
they leave out again in spring. when.
ever the ground is not frozen, and
when the soil is not wet enough to
bake, plaster and harden when
worked.
II the autumn is excessively dry, so
the trees are likely to dry out curing
during fall or winter. 1t is best to
delay planting until spring. Perfectly
hardy species, however, II planted as
soon as the leaves are OFF in the fall,
will make some root growth and be.
come well established before winter
sets in. and be ready for vigorous
growth In spring. Autumn painted

or knot Is left. this knot will die and
the wound can not close over Wounds
viii perhaps heal more readily Il inc
limbs are cut just at the time growth
is beginning in spring. This gives
but q brief period for pruning and
where many trees are to be pruned,
the work may be done in winter when
other form work Is not pressing.
II Is not we'll to remove very much
of the leaf surface of the tree by prun
ing in midsummer. This stunts the
growth Of the tree.
Severely cutting back or dehorning
rapidly growing trees like the water
maple Is a mistake. This is frequent
ly done on the supposition that such
trees will break down II their limbs
are allowed to get long and heavy.
However, breaking down" may be al
leviated by shaping the tree from the
beginning 80 it will make q 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 1t forms, by cutting on
one side Of the fork, allowing the
other side to straighten up and be
come the leader or main trunk of the
tree. II cutting close to the trunk In
removing one side OF the fork is like
ly to leave too large wound, the
young stub thus cut may be left
from four 10 six inches long SO as to
contain n few buds. These will push
out us side branches rather than re-
placing the fork.
Cutting back or dehorning a tree
tends to make It form Objectionable
forks from the old stubs which are
/ left Furthermore these old stubs
will rot more or less, making weak
points OF attachment where the new
limbs form, so that the breaking
down" process will, in the long run
be worse rather than relieved.

be pruncd from year to year so as to
allow them TO take their own natural
form or habit. Ordinarily 1t Is not
best to clip trees into low or compact
forms by annually clipping them back
or shearing the outer surface.
Most of the pruning should be done
In winter but when the wood is not
severely frozen. Dead or dying limbs
should be cut out at any time. how.
ever. Where It is desired to secure
long trunks 80 one may see out under
the trees. the lower limbs may be cut
out from year 10 year as the tree
reaches upward In height. Wherever
the limb is cut, however. 1t should be
cut close to the trunk Of the tree so
the growing layer may easily close
over the wound. II even short stub

Now the scoring rules require
that each man who handles ball
on which a put-out is made must
get an assist. Ordinarily it is
easy to get the assists properly al
lotted, for an experienced scorer
jots them down as they are made
However, as this is the first time
Mobile has ever played in Atlanta,
as most of the players are new here
and as the press box is long ways
from the line between first and
second, considerable confusion
arose over the question of who In
the dickens had handled the ball
anyhow during the progress of the
run down. 1t took the arbitra
ton commission of the press box at
least five minutes of careful fig
uring to decide who had been in
the play and then the award was
made on the liberal basis of giving
everybody an assist on general
principles. And all because of the
amazing elusiveness of Hemphill.
