PROPER PLACE FOR ORCHARD
Rolling Site, Somewhat Elevated, viii
Usually Afford Air Drainage
Avoid All Wet Spots.
tRv <. a: KIRKPATRICKN


There are two types of drainage
that must be kept in mind in locating
and planting an orchard: air drainage
and soil drainage. The spot selected
should be high, for cold air seeks the
lower levels, and frosts come first in
pockets" and low-lying belts. If a
valley or coulee is chosen, it should
have wide opening at its lower end.
A rolling site, somewhat elevated, viii
usually afford good air drainage.
The soil drainage also will generally
be good in a high, rolling exposure.
Fruit trees can't stand wet feet"
Perfect soil drainage must be pro-
vided, if it is not already present Tile
or open drains may be called into use.
If tile is used it should lie in the mid
die between the rows, to effect even
drainage and to prevent as far as pos
sible the filling Of the drain with roots.

GOOD TREES FOR WINDBREAK
Evergreens Planted on West Side OF
Yard or Buildings Tend TO Soften
Rigors of Winter.


4 double row Of evergreens as a
windbreak is Of equal value for pro
lection with board fence of the same
height. The general method Of plant
ing evergreens around feed yards,
houses, gardens and small fruit or
chards is to plant the trees in double
or triple rows so that there will be
no space between the trees for the
wind to find its way through.
When planted on the west side OF
the yards or buildings they soften the
rigors of winter and add many dollars
value TO the appearance OF the farm.
A large number have been unsuc-
cessful in growing these trees, but
with proper care and the right
methods of starting the young trees
il is quite easy to start an evergreen
tree. The only condition Of success
is that their roots must be kept moist.
Foreign varieties when imported
are not SO sure to thrive and do as
well as the native trees. When trees
of small size are started they should
be set in small beds convenient for
watering in case Of drought, and
shaded with brush or cornstalks a
few inches high-above the tops of
the plants-coveTing the surface with
leaves or straw or old hay-also a
covering over the tops of the young
plants In winter will insure their win
tering in good condition.
When they are firmly established
with new and fibrous roots they are
ready to be set out for good and 1t
will be found best to set in rows about
six feet apart and from three to four
feet in the row and give good care
and cultivation as would be given a
garden for two or three years until
the trees shade the ground.
White and Norway spruce are the
most rapid growers and are the most
valuable for planting White pine
viii make very rapid growth in
some places and the aTbor vitae will
make a very good growth.
In all cases cultivate well the fore
part of the season and keep down the
weeds and grass. BY close planting
an upright growth is procured and as
the trees become too thick they may
be thinned out and the best ones left
until they have obtained their growth.

Kissing in Various Chimes.
The primitive kind of kissing is prac-

method of salutation is to blow in

the custom of rubbing the right ear
and to put out the tongue. In many
places they salute by rubbing noses
The Malay kiss consists in rubbing one
nose against another. This form of

CONCESSIONS AT
PANAMA EXPO
Many Wonderful Amusement Fea-
lures At Big Show

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-NIore than
two thousand applications for conces-
sions, filed by amusement purveyors
in all parts of the world, have been
received by Director of Concessions
Burt of the Panama Pacific Internal
tional Exposition. Many of the con-
cessions will be extremely original and
striking. Eight of them will, in the
opinion of Mr.. Burt, involve an expen-
diturc of more than two million dol
lars. The concessions will be notable
not only for their great size and their
splendor, but also for the fact that
they are selected with a view to their
educational value. The art of pre-
senting Cyloramas and panoramas up
ON an elaborate scale has made trc-
mendous strides in the past few years
Among the more important Conces-
sions already accepted are: "'Phe
Grand Canyon of Colorado" a splendid
spectacle to be displayed by the San
tn Fe railway; The Panama Canal"

great work at Panama CWo thousand
visitors will be able to make the
trip along the canal every twenty
five minutes); The Grand Trianon
at Versailles" reproducing the famous
battles of Napoleon. The canvasses
for this concession will be painted i'm

known as THE Creation" is based on
the first chapter of Genesis. An elab-

cessions.
The Grand Canyon of Colorado. in
all of its grandeur and color, as seen
from the platform of an observation

all the concessions. Walter Burridge.
the widely known American scenic
artist, will execute the paintings,
