MOVING LARGE TREES
Impossible to Exercise Too Much
Care in TranSpIanting.
Tramplng Of Earth Around Roots 10
One Of Most Important Festures--
Early. Spring 10 Best Time
Whore the Soil 10 Wet.

The transplanting Of tree, whether
1t be small or large, usually checks
its growth, and while this check is
not always detrimental, yet n usually
reduces the total growth for the sue
ceeding two or three years. This gen.
eral check he caused by the loss OF
roots which takes place IN digging the
trees. It matters little how carefully
= tree may be dug. IT will suffer q
severe loss OF roots ana In many cases
from one.ha1f TO threefourths of It's
entire root system, and practically all
of its feeding roots will be lost: is

fIled 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 well as take
up any water that may fall on the
surface.
Evergreen trees are more dinicult
to transplant successfully than decid-
uous trees, but II 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.
ProbAbiy the most favorable time Tor
transplanting evergreen is In the
spring. Trees transplanted just after
they have started into growth, start
at once to grow and in many cases

do not receive a perceptible shock.
Fall planting has been successfully
used in many localities, and where all
conditions are favorable. it is a safe
venture.
Large deep holes with plenty Of
moist earth in the bottom should be
provided for any tree. During trans
planting, the roots must never become
dried either by the wind or from the
sun. Another very important phase
in tree-transplanting is to make the
soil very, very firm around its roots.
If the soil is well prepared and in
proper condition, 1t Is impossible to
make 1t too firm. More newly trans
planted evergreens die on account Of
the planter failing to make the soil
firm about the roots than from any
other single cause. This Is the only
safe way to exclude the air from the
roots. and unless this is done, failure
is sure to follow. ~... !,

"Good-by." breathed the bride. Then
she hastily ran into the back room and,
picking up the plaster head with pro-
file like her callers, with great preci-
sion and dispatch she crammed it into
the waste basket and smashed 1t with
the pump hastily removed from her
left foot.-Chicago Daily News.

SPORTING
SIDELIGHTS
BY BILL BAILEY

II Is indeed amusing to read the dope
on boxing which is Iadeled out by alleged
sporting writer's who do not know the
difference between a kick on the shin and
cross-counter. knocking the modern
fighter. The writer has been a constant
follower OF the sport since the Sullivan
Ryan fight; he has seen the complete
revolution of the game from the old to
the new style, and believes that the
fighters of today. as a class. compare
favorably with the best Of the old school;
that is II there was a standard by
which their respective abilities could be
measured, but there is not.
John L. Sullivan evoluted from the
bare knuckle to the boxing glove cham
pion as did Jack McAuliffe, but poor
Jack Dempsey, the peer OF all modern
bare-knuckle fighters, fell before La
Blanche and FItZsimmons. With bare
knuckIes il is doubtful IL there was
man in the world who could have whip
ped Dempsey. not excepting the mighty
Sullivan himself. for he IL remembered
that Dempsey accomplished feat which
Sullivan had failed in. and that was the
whipping Of Domnick sicCanrey, but as
Eipling would say. that was another
story"
We can remember the anvil chorus
which greeted Fitzsimmons when he
sought a match with Dempsey; how the
sporting writers jeered Corbett when he
challenged Sullivan: how Jeftries was
hooted from the ring in New York and
numerically fiayed by every sporting
writer in the country, with but few eN-
ceptions. The great trouble appears 10
be that the average sporting writer draws
upon his Imagination for facts. and upon
his recollection for wit. Every time We
pick up a newspaper We can almost smell
the burning flesh of Gunboat Smith.
Frank Moran. PaCky Mcfarland. Mike
Gibbons. Johnny Kilbane. Johnny Cou-
lon. and other really great men who are
honestly striving TO reach the coveted
goal.
Frank Moran has an excellent chance
to whip Jack Johnson. who could never.
in his palmiest days. stand a wallop on
the chin: Joe Choyinski knocked him
out in three rounds: Stanley Ketchell
had him crazy from the only solid punch
he gave him, and Marvin Hart made
him virtually quit in twenty rounds.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien made johnson
"tin-can'' for six rounds. Moran is to-
day a better man than either ketchell.
Hart, Choyinski or O'Brien ever were.
