There is no other spirit quits so
catching as the thrill of war. 1t makes
us all desire to fight, no matter who
or what we are. The quaint peace
advocate is wild to shoot somebody in
the back, tn married man subdued and
mild, becomes a raging maniac, the
son rushes from his frock and wants
to scatter ball and shell, the quiet
man along the block begins to fulJni-
nate and yell, the veteran who testi-
fes that war is hell begins to dance,
the women, who have tender eyes,
appeal for haversacks and pants, the
meek and lowly Of the earth intimi-
date the bold and brave, and all that
any man is worth is food and filling
for grave.

Giving Of Presents.

1t was the custom among Romans
to exchange gifts at their winter fes-
tival, and this custom may have de-
scended to us from antiquity. But
Christians like to feel that 1t was be-
cause the wise men brought gifts to
the infant Jesus, and because of the
gift of God to the world. Gifts to the
poor seem from the earliest Bible times
to have been an expression of thank
full heart.

CUSTOM OF GIVING is OLD
Popular Practice Associated With
Christmas Ancient as Rome's
Seven Hills.

When Caligula, at the Roman Ka-
lends preceding the New Year, real
lied that his daughter was going to
be married while, to all intents and
purposes, he was broke. although he
was running the great Roman empire,
he sent out word that, If his country
men were going to send him gifts that
year, they might as we'll make their
gifts cash to help him provide her with
a proper dowry. Next day he had to
wade through hills of gold at his pal
ace door.
Our Christmas giving. as a custom,
is as old as Rome's seven hills. The
old Romans used to start In with their
Saturnalia, and a few days later, at
January 1, they dashed brilliantly into
the Kalends. 1t was the season for
feasting and merrymaking, with pro-
fuse and universal generosity thrown
in for good measure.
In the homes of the wealthy luxu-
rious abundance prevailed; in the
dwellings of the poor there was al
ways some striving for the makings
of feast. All that was connected
with toll was abandoned; even the
children didn't have to go to school
The very slaves were permitted to for
get their thralldom. From end to end
of the vast empire people We'd with
one another in giving presents, and
the very misers were expected then
to open their Golfers and remember
that money was made to be spent, not
I boarded.
So there, in ancient Rome, were all
the popular makings of our own
Christmas season, right down to the
school holidays.

HOW TO PLANT FRUIT TREES
Root Growth Is Retarded by Too Lib
eraI Use Of Manure-little Bene-
fit From Watering.

By ]. G. MOORE. Wisconsin Agricultural
College)
The common practice OF using sta
BILE manure in planting fruit trees, is
one which cannot be recommended.
When a tree is planted its activity
should be the development of a strong
and extensive root system. II large
amounts of fertilizer are placed around
the roots of tree the root growth
will naturally not be so extensive as
under normal conditions because there
will be no necessity of its searching
far for sustenance.
When such a method is followed and
the supply of food materials provided
at planting by the addition Of stable
manure is exhausted, the root system
will not have grown sufficiently to Sc
cure food enough to keep up normal
conditions in the growing tree. What
was done with the idea of helping the
tree will thus only serve to retard Its
growth.
Under ordinary conditions little or
no benefit is derived from watering
newly-set trees. II water is applied
1t should either be put on before the
top soil is filled in around the tree
or if applied to the surface, the soil
should not be left to become baked,
but must be stirred to depth of about
two inches and put in good filth. II
this is not strictly adhered to more
moisture is likely to be lost than was
added at planting.
