PLANT SOME FRUIT
TREES EVERY YEAR
No Better Way Of Utilizing Spare
Time in Fall After Crops
Have Been Harvested.
(By MEADE FERGUSON.)

In the economy of man and Of ma
ture trees are Of great value not only
through the products which they yield
as food and materials for industrial
purposes, but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, soil
and the healthiness and beauty Of
community The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have
shade trees and, If space permits, fruit
trees The farm from an economic
standpoint must have trees fer shade
and protection from the winds and to
such as building. manufacturing tools,
burning, etc. Whenever a soil cannot
by any ordinary process be rendered
tit for corn or grass and will bear
trees 1t may be planted as the only,
perhaps the best, mode Of turning 1t
to profit. There are some tracts OF
thin, stony or gravelly soils covered
with no growth Of any value which
will pay for no improvement whatever
except starting a tree growth.
In the fall and early winter, after
The crops are harvested and the fall
seeding Is finished, one could utilize
some spare time to no better advantage
than planting trees. There Is always
room and a suitable place for them
Landlords could easily effect an agree
melt between themselves and their
tenants under which the tenants
would be required to plant and care
for trees upon suitable areas each
year.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected
shade and ornamental trees, CT which
there are so many beautiful specimens.
Perhaps short list may encourage
trial For Towering trees there are the
double Towering crab, English haw-
thorn, pink horse chestnut and catalpa
For striking characteristics there are
the camperdown elm, weeping beech
variegated elder, Rivers purple beech
and the linden.
Nothing adds more to the welfare Of
a family than fruit. besides which
there is pride and Joy in producing 1t
at home Think Of the big red apples
and the long winter evenings OF your
childhood. Then go out and put the
old orchard in shape, liant new trees
to take the place Of the old and be
happier. If you have only town lot
and not space for the standard sorts
plant dwarf apples and pears. They
occupy little room and will bear In two
or three years. Anyway, plant trees
every season. for they will grow while
you sleep, add comfort to your old age
and make your children glad, all rea-
sons worth consideration.

PROPER AMOUNT TO
FEED TO CHICKENS
Some Hens Require More Food
Than 0thers-They Differ
Also in Preference.

The old rule Is that five pecks of
grain will support hen for year,
and ono quart day for II hens is a
fair allowance; but 1t is well known
that one hen may consume even six
pecks, hence any attempt to feed hens
food will fail in securing expected re-
suits. They differ also in preference
Of food and in their condition. a lay
ing hen requiring different food and
more Of it than a nonlayer.
1t is difficult to measure a mixed
diet, but there is one safe rule to fol-
low. which Is to give them half as
much as they will eat In the morning.
less at noon and full meal at night.
For dozen hens three or four pounds
OF wheat can be put in the trough, the
birds allowed to eat until the last one
has walked away, then the quantity
left over can be weighed, which will
show exactly how much was eaten.
Then the next morning give them
half as much as they ate before, but
scatter the food in litter and let them
work for it. 1t Is better to keep them
a little hungry than otherwise. At
night fill the trough full of all sorts
of food that Is at hand and suitable
for the purpose intended, and let them
eat until they walk away from it, then
remove the remainder In thus feed
ing tho hens it requires but two or
three days to fully understand the re-
Quirements Of the flock.

Haymaking Is an art which great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method of making hay
Is far different from that of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks-if
time permitted-and slowed away in
dark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern haymaking, time Is es-
sential II the crop should be cut a
day too soon 1t will easily spoil. II
a day too late it's quality may be i'm
paired by its dry, woody growth. II
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, it's quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
haymaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given us, the proper
ton of farmers who make a sure
thing" of their hay crop every year
Is all too small.
There always has been great deal
OF trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much of its value is lost be-
cause Of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure 1t and take care of 1t
sitter it has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly. and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
methods are employed.
The side rake Is another fine ma
chine which helps us in saving the
crop, and II clover is cut at exactly
the right time the use OF these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save all there is Of his crop. with at
least 80 per cent Of its feeding value.

suits With Sheep in Neinh-
borhood Of Large Cities.

Animals, like men, attain their best
growth and development when they
have pure food and air.
In England 1t has been found i'm
possible to raise sheep with good re-
suits in the neighborhood OF large cit
les, where the air was polluted by
smoke and gas.
Tho wool obtained from these city
bred animals was of such poor quail
ity that 1t did not pay to rear them.
No doubt this was due partly to the
fact that the grass on which the ami
mails fed was also of poor quality.
Horses which are brought up in
fresh country air attain their growth
more quickly. and 1t takes less food
and care to keep them in good con-
dition.

Heretofore, much of the hay of
this country was lost through allow
ing it to stand in stacks in the field.
The hay barn Is now a necessity on
every good farm where the most Is
made OF everything. Where hay is
still stacked, canvas covers help a
great deal, but the only way to prop
erly care fer clover hay is to put 1t
into a we'll ventilated barn.
The value of the hay crop depends
largely upon the man who makes it.
He must have exact knowledge of
the time to cut it, just how 1t must be
cured in all kinds Of weather. and
how to store it. He must thoroughly
understand tho use Of all haying ma
chinery, and know how to make the
most Of every hour Of the haying sea-

OUR DIPLOMATIC VICTORY"
Germany Respects Not Us, but the
Pressure in Europe.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial page ever since the
sinking of the Lusitania has been a Leading
light to many of us, and now appeal to you
to give space to timely protest
II is quite obvious that whatever conces-
sions Germany may decide TO make us in her
submarine policy they will reflect but smaii
credit upon the United States as a worIu
power. Germany's contempt for our unpre'
naredness lies recorded for all time. Ana II
will astonish many patriotic Yankees II the
Kaiser's forthcoming submission (aireauy
jubilantly hailed by many New YORK news
papers) is not found to have string at
tached 10 it. Even if the Kaiser seeks no
humiliating counter concessions we wou'u
have not our own miserable weakness, but the
strong arms of the Allies to thank only pe-
cause the central empires are at war wlth
half the white men Of the earth do they now
court the favor of a comparatively harmless
government.
How hateful to forward looking Americans
the last week has been-to see their felow
countrymen tremulously waiting upon the
Kaiser's pleasure!
Germany has imposed her will to the last
And a Yankee hardly dares to cross the Great
Pond. Because of political pressure in East
ern Furope the murderers of our citizens may
modify their policy of frightfulness. And, 10!
there is rejoicing in all the land over a "vic-
tory!
The only victory, as The Tribune this
morning finely expresses 1t, is our belated de-
cision to substitute action for Intellectual
words.
For one, I am unconvinced that even now
Germany intends TO grant our demands-if
no hair trigger utimatum is penned at the
White House.
For one, must feel that any favor got
from Potsdam is unworthy of the rejoicing
Of the sons of Concord and Gettysburg. Our
place, even a year ago, was in the trenches
with the defenders of human freedom. (Untll
this terrible war | believed in treaties, in
non-resistance and in peace ALMOST at any
price,
There is a percentage of fools and towards
in all nations, persons who cling to peace
even at the expense of honor. That percent
age is liable to be high in lands removed
from visible aggression, such as America.
Here we allow free speech to be fashioned
openly by the lackeys Of foreign rulers into
weapon against our institutions and our
cherished liberties. And in every national
crisis the voices of the hyphenated prOpa-
gandist, Of impractical dreamers and of igno-
rance and cowardice threaten to over
whelm us.
How long shall our great people be so per-
ilously naive? r. T.

I'm Splendid Isolation"
tor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II Germany should win this war
which is inconceivable-the world would 20
back TO feudalism. No countries realize this
quite so acutely as England and America
which stand for all that is highest and no
blest in civilization. 1t is just as much
Americas duty as England's to put down the
monstrous outbreak of insanity that Is dew
astating Europe, and which, II not checked
will eventually spread all over the world.
England saw her duty and unhestatingly
faced it. America saw her duty and shirked
il. The result will be that when this war
is ended America will stand in splendid iso-
lation without friend in the world. Her
Golfers will be bulging with gold and the
countries that need gold will either have to
borrow some Of it or take it. Which Of the
courses will be adopted will depend upon
whether America is as powerful as she is
rich.
II it had not been for the chronic short
siehtedness of America this country and
England would have had an open alliance
for defence years ago, and il this alliance
had existed there would be no war raging in
Europe to-day, and Belgium would not have
been violated II Americas protest had gone
with Englands, Germany would have stood
still. Even at this late day if America
would act up to her ideals the light OF san
ity might illumine German Kultur
