EvEReREENs FOR THE LAWN

No trees or shrubs are more salts
factory for the lawn than are the
members of the evergreen family.
Chief among them in beauty and har-
diness stands the Colorado Blue
Spruce. 1t will grow in almost any
soil with proper care, and its beauti-
full, changeable colors of greenish
blue make it sort of connecting link
in the natural color scheme between
the green of the turf and the blue of
the sky. Arbor Vitae is another very
popular evergreen for hedges and
lawn planting, and in the large trees
nothing grows faster or makes a more
satisfactory appearance than the
Douglas or Norway Spruces and the
Scotch Pine.
Evergreens are much harder to han
die and get started than are the de-
ciduous trees and shrubs, because
they never are in a dormant state.
Plants in general are easier to trans
plant in the dormant state, because
they then suffer very little shock or
setback through being dug up and put
in a new location. The evergreens re-
main more or less active and in
green condition throughout the year
and they must be handled with very
much more care than other plants II
you are to have success in transplant
ing them.
The sap of the evergreen is also
radically different from that of other
plants. A deciduous shrub which has
become badly dried out can be re-
stored by burying its roots and
branches in the moist earth for a few
days. In the case of an evergreen un-
der similar conditions the resinous
sap in the branches solidifies and once
in this condition no amount of water
will restore IL to fluid again.
1t is very hard indeed to tell when
transplanted evergreen has been
dried out in this manner, as the leaves
will look bright and green for several
months after this has happened and
the first intimation you will have that
something is wrong will be the drop
ping off of the leaves, which may &C.
cur long after you have planted the
tree.
In putting out evergreens It is a
good plan to secure them as near at
home as possible, so as to avoid any
possibility of having them dried out
In shipment. II this cannot be done,
Insist upon having the nurseryman
take extraordinary precautions to
keep them in live condition, and
plant them as soon as they are re-
ceived They should be transplanted
very early in the spring or during the
rainy season of the fall, to avoid any
possibility of drought occurring before
the roots become established In the

BACKYARD FRUIT TREES.
'CoDyright Western Newspaper Unlon.)

great many suburbanites have one
or more fruit trees in their back yards.
Some city folks are as fortunate, and
everybody with a sunny back yard
can enjoy the shade, beauty and lus-
cious fruit of their own trees if they
will go to a small amount Of expense
and trouble.
One interesting and possibly dis
couraging feature of the backyard
fruit tree is the fact that very few of
these trees produce enough fruit to be
noticed. They produce the shade and
the beautiful blossoms to perfection,
but they also produce such a large crop
Of bugs and parasites of other kinds
that there is no room for the fruit.
1t is freely admitted that it is harder
to secure a good crop of fruit from
one or two trees alone than from the
same trees in an orchard, but II is by
no means an impossibility. In the
orchard there is less wind to blow off
blossoms and fruit There are other
trees to cross fertilize and there are
more bees to carry the pollen. On
the other hand, there are also more
trees to propagate diseases and bugs
in the orchard, and If the backyard
fruit grower will but give his trees the
same medicine that the commercial
fruit grower does, he will get all the
fruit that is coming to him.
If you have some sour cherry trees
in your yard, all you have to do is
prune out the suckers and interfering
branches and keep the birds away from
the reddening fruit. Nature will tend
TO your yearly reward. Keeping the
birds away is the great job, and it is
practically impossible unless you
cover the entire tree with mosquito
bar just before the fruit begins to
turn.
Peaches do not stand pruning well,
but plums, apples and pears should
be pruned every year. Cut out the
suckers and the inside branches.
Trim off the tops of vertical limbs
that promise to grow too high for
easy picking from a ladder. Keep the
tree free from dead and diseased
branches and clean out the center so
that the air and sunshine may reach
the fruit
Should your trees be infested with
scale insects Of any kind, spray them
thoroughly with a solution of lime,
salt and sulphur early in the spring,
Just when the petals drop and three
weeks after also, the trees should be
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture to
kill the apple worm, and put in a lit
tie paris green to get the caterpillars.
These remedies will prevent leaf curl
also. If there are plant lice on the
leaves a good spraying with kerosene
emulsion will put an end to them.
Any of these sprays can be applied
with a bucket force pump, and your
scotsman can supply both the mate
rails and full directions.

new soil. Dig your holes before the
trees arrive and have them deep
enough to set the tree a little lower
than II was set in the nursery soil
Make it wide enough so that the roots
can spread well, and see that they are
spread to divide the ground evenly.
Have the soil moist and pack it down
well over the roots, heaping it up a
little to take care of settling.
AS a rule evergreens are not pruned
or trimmed back as much as other
kinds of shrubs or trees, because they
are purchased SO young that the en-
tire root system comes with the tree,
and there is no necessity of trim
ming the top. Do not make the mis-
take of buying too large evergreens.
A tree that is four feet high has not
over half as much chance TO live and
thrive as a tree that is only two feet
high when transplanted, and by the
end Of five years you won't know the
difference. The smaller trees are
cheaper and much easier to handle,
and should be chosen in every case if
possible.

Won Distinction in Three Wars.

Gen. John b. S. Todd, a soldier of
three wars and governor of Dakota

FAIR PLAY From
PRES. MURPHY
Former Cub Manager Will Not

By Frank G.. Menke.

ATEW YORK, Feb. 12.-With base
N ball interest centerrns to-day
on the fight between Charles
w. Murphy, of the Cubs, and the de-
posed manager, John Evers, the gath
ering of the magnates of the national
game took on all the attractions of

lures:

2. Meeting of the National Leagues
board of directors to conclude unfin
ished business.
3. Meeting of the American League.
4. Meeting of the International
League to conclude unfinished bust

And, lest we forget. lust on the out
side of the canvas tent. housing "the
greatest baseball show ever seen"
lowered promoters of the Federal
League. waiting any opportunity to
grab off the star actors in the organ
lied ranks. President James A. GIL
more, of'the Federals made no secret
of the fact that he was after Evers.
Early in the day Evers held out no
hope to Gilmore, but he persisted in
his declaration that he would never
accept any proposition as a result of
which Murphy would benefit in a
financial way. He asserted that
though he would be glad to play in
Boston, he would never accept the
deal by which he was traded to Bos-
ton by Murphy in exchange for
Pitcher Perdue and Second Baseman
Sweeney.
EVERS said he appreciated the I'M
precedented action that had been
taken by the board of directors OF the
National League in giving him
hearing and unfolding him in his
fight against the Cub boss by guar
anteeing the salary to which he is
entitled under his contract, but as
serted that this would not cause him
to let down in his resistance. He was
subjected to pressure to yield from
many directions, however, his friends
advising him to accept Boston's
terms and drop the fight.
That the Federal League was cen
tering Its fight against organized
baseball on the league was confirmed
to-day by President Gilmore when
he said Ban Johnson is man J
honor and respect. l am glad the
American League has put the whole
question of our activities in his
hands"
GILMORE Intimated that Murphy's
~ team would be the main target in
the campaign. He refused either to
affirm or deny reports that E,vers had
been offered $4,000 for three years
service, but that was the proposition,
according to general reports around
the baseball meeting.
Gilmore anticipated help in his ef-
forts to get Evers from Joe Tinker,
who arrived this afternoon in re-
sponse to a, hurry-up call.
