HORSE INJURED
IN FALL, IS SHOT
Animal Is Hurt in Collision With
Street Car on Twentieth
Street.

A horse belonging to Henry c..
Willms, fruit grower, who resides on
Brasher street near Seventeenth, in
South Rock Island, fell to the pave
ment yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock, after a collision with a street
car, and was so badly injured that the
police were forced to shoot the animal
an hour later.
Willms was driving across the street
car tracks on Twentieth street, be-
tween Third and Fourth avenues. The
horse had just reached the car track
on the west side of the street, when
it fell to the pavement The back
wheels of the buggy were on the east
side. A Long View car was coming
north at the time, and before the mo-
torman could stop, the fender of the
car brushed in the rear wheel.
The horse was dragged over to the
alleyway on the west side and a veter-
mary summoned. 1t was evident af-
ter an examination that the horse was
injured internally and the physician
ordered it shot.

LOOK FOR ARMY WORM MOTH
WITH ONE COLORED WING,

Everyone interested in the destrue-
ton of the army worm pest is being
requested by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture TO look out
for army worm moths with one arti-
ficially eolored wing The depart
ment's entomologists are catching
army worm moths where they are
plentiful, eoloring one wing of each,
and then liberating them in the same
territory, so that they may deter
mine whether these moths fly directly
west, or north, and how quickly and
far they will spread. A better knowl-
edge of the habits of this pest should
enable the department to control its
spread. No moths are to be let loose
where their liberation could possibly
add to the natural damage.
The moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia and in Mary
land, and the departments agents
are catching specimens at Portsmouth
and Charlottesville, in Virginia, and
Hagerstown, in Maryland. The
agents at Portsmouth are applying a
red stain to one wing of each speci-
men caught; those at Charlottesville
a black or yellow stain, and those at
Hagerstown a violet color. Then the
moths are left to follow the natural
course they would have pursued.

nure, leaves, or similar material, ap-
piled on top of the ground directly
about the plant, is of great value,
particularly the first season. 1t helps
in holding the water, which is neces-
sary until the plant has been growing
long enough to send it's roots down
into deeper soil.
Large trees should be kept from
swaying until the roots have taken
hold of the ground. This can be
done by stalking from three points.
Old rubber hose about the wire where
it comes in direct contact with the
tree, Will prevent it from injuring
the bark.
Trimming Trees and Shrubs.
Generally, it will be found most
convenient to trim before setting the
tree or shrub. but it really does not
make any difference at which time ii
is done Perhaps there is an excep-
ton TO this, because it will often be
found best to defer the trimming of
fall-planted trees and shrubs until
early the following spring
About the best general rule to fol-
low is to trim back about one third,
which means to cut off that proper
ton of the top.
Some kinds of trees do not need
trimming so severely, and be sure not
to remove the leader (top bud) in hard
wooded trees like oaks, beeches. etc
With shrubs, generally, it is best to
cut them back more severely. While
this may seem to spoil the appear
ance of the bush. it really is the max
ing of it. 1t will grow more vigor-
ously, and can be developed into the
shaped plant desired, whereas. if ii
were left untrimmed. the growth
would be slow, and the bush would
never branch out into so shapely a
specimen as the one which has re-
ceived more severe pruning at the
time it was planted
Evergreens scarcely ever need prun-
ing at the time of planting.
Care After Planting.
With trimming and planting prop
erly done, there is very little after
care required, except to see that the
plant is supplied with water.
Remember that the roots for the
first have a very small area from
which to draw, thus the Importance of
keeping that area sufficiently moist.
This should be done much the same
as nature supplies it, by giving a
thorough soaking and then allowing
it to dry out gradually. A little

gives more loose earth in which the
new roots can develop, and a larger
quantity of good soil. enabling the
plant to grow better and more quick
ly. In locations that are inclined 10
be very wet additional drainage
should be provided in the form of
stones or similar materials in the
bottom of the holes. These should be
covered with soil before setting the
plant in the ground above them
Remove any broken roots and make
clean, fresh cuts on the ends q the
larger ones. Set the plant the same
/ depth that it has been growing, which
can easily be told by the appearance
of the bark This small thing is of
more Importance than some people
think, il being easy TO kill tree by
planting too deep. and shallow plant
ing is likewise detrimental
Roots Need Air.
The reason for this is that the roots
need air, which does not penetrate the
soil very deeply, and, on the other
hand, they need more protection than
shallow planting provides.
Make sure that the soil is finely pull
verified, so that it can be packed in
firmly about the little roots This is
