GREAT POWER OF PUBLICITY
Public Utility Corporations Now Rec
osnize the Value to Be Derived
From Advertising

Advertising not only pays, but its
value as news is coming to be more
and more appreciated There is not an
enterprising corporation or shrewd
business firm that is not now inform
ing the public through the medium Of
advertisements what kind of new
business each is engaged in and what
are the prospects for the future.
The Old-time method of silence on
the part of public utility corporations
have been abandoned. Even the Stand
ard Oil company was finally obliged
to advertise its purposes and to au.
thoriZe its managers to give out in.
terviews. No one Is advertising to
a greater extent than the heads of big
transportation companies and those
corporate bodies engaged in the dis
semination of intelligence by tele,
graph, telephone and wireless. These
are sensible moves.
The public is intelligent enough TO
appreciate all publicity based on the
truth. The truthful advertiser sue.
ceeds all the time, and he is deserv.
ing of all the increased patronage he
is sure to receive When there is a
lull in business from any cause shrewd
men of affairs get busy and advertise.

in the digging and transplanting OF
trees, and especially in dry severe
climates.
The time or season of the year for
transplantng deciduous trees is gov
erned by the development of the tree
the condition Of the soil, and, the
weather that is apt to follow trans
planting. Many trees may be success
fully transpianted at any time during
their dormant or leaf1ess period.
while others require that transplant
ing be done at certain seasons of the
year If the trees are fully matured,
the soil moist not wet, and the WIN
tiers not too severe, one may feel safe
in fall planting If the soil is wet and
poorly prepared and the trees are not
we'll ripened off, it is safer to plant
in early spring Deciduous trees
should be planted from one to two
inches deeper than they grew in the
nursery. Thoroughly pulverized moist
earth should be worked in among the
roots. until the hole Is about half
full, and then this earth should be
tamped until it is solid. The tramping
of earth around the roots of the tree
is one Of the most important features
of transplanting tree.
Water may be applied to the hole
either the day before the trees are
planted or after the hole is half full
of earth, but if the soil is moist it is
usually best not to use any water
The upper half Of the soil that is
filled into the hole may be left loose
or lightly tamped, and the surface
left loose and finely pulverized. This
will serve as a mulch as we'll as take
up any water that may fall on the
surface.
Evergreen trees are more difficult
to transplant successfully than decid-
uous trees, but if the proper time be
selected, the trees properly handled
while they are out of the ground the
manner OF planting be not too faulty
and the care they receive after trans
planting be reasonable, one may usu-
ally expect success, With the proper
care, an evergreen tree may be trans
planted any month during the year
Probably the most favorable time for
transplantng evergreen Is In the
spring. Trees transplanted just after
they have started into growth, start
at once to grow and In many cases

underground is described. The advan-
tage of such silo is that it can be
filled cheaply with limited power, since
1t is not necessary to elevate the
silage. There is less danger from hav-
ing the silage freeze when 1t is put
underground. The greatest disadvan-
tage is the inconvenience of taking
the silage out. There is always some
danger in such a silo of poison from
breathing carbon dioxide gas. This
gas is thrown out as the slage fer
ments during the first two weeks in
the silo. The gas is heavier than air,
and thus settles down to the bottom,
as there would be no possibility OF air
drainage in pit silo. 1t would be
dangerous to go down into such silo,
as it would into well where this gas
Is present The chief danger seems
to be when the silo is partly filled and
left standing for few days. Before
going into such a silo it is better to
start the cutter and let 1t feed into
the silo for five or ten minutes before
workmen are permitted to 60 down.
A test Of the danger involved would
be to lower a lighted lantern or'cand'e
down into the pit. If the light con
tinues to burn there would be no
trouble. II It goes out no one should
venture down until the air in the silo
has been thoroughly stirred up. There
would be no danger in the winter
time, as rule. since the gas does not
form in large quantities at that time.
Also the air in the silo is warmer than
that outside, and this would create
draft to carry the dangerous gases
