PUTTING Trees to Bed.

An interesting method of protecting
peach trees from frost during the win.
ter has been practiced for several
years at the agricultural experiment
station at Canyon, Colo. Early in No
vember the earth is removed from a
circle about four feet in diameter
round each tree, and water is turned in
to saturate the soil. When the ground
has become soft the tree is worked
back and forth to loosen the roots and
is then pushed over on its side. The
branches are brought together and
fastened with cord, and bur1ap Gov
cred with earth is put over them.
Thus the trees lie snug until spring,
when the covering is gradually loos-
ened and finally removed, and they are
raised and propped up.-Rocky Noun

Wearing Them Publicly.
Writing from South Africa about the
sights to be seen in that country, E.
w. Howe in his monthly says:
ION the line between Bulawayo and
Salisbury there are a good many
towns, including one built around the
best gold mine in Rhodesia And how
the people turned out to see the train
come in! At one place We estimated
that there must have been 800 around
the station.
Trains travel over the line only two
or three times week, and people
seem to come from great distances in
the country to see the trains go by.
But between the stations there were
millions of acres of land as wild as it
was In the days of Adam.
early in the morning our English
passengers walked about in pajamas
when we stopped at stations. English
men love that sort of thing, At Vic
toria falls they visited the Rain forest
In pajamas, and in Johannesburg | was
