GROWING TREES FOR POSTS
Most Endurabie Are Black and Honey
Locust and Hardy cataIpa-
Set Close Together.

Almost every irrigated farm ha
some small piece Of land which can
not readily be used for growing field
crops. but which might be suitable for
growing enough fence posts to supply
the farm in the future, says a Colo
rado Bulletin. The most endurable
timbers, naturally, among trees
adapted to this region are the black
and honey locust and the hardy cat
alpa. The hardy catalpa, however, is
grown at its northernmost limit in
most parts of this state north of Den
yer and is liable to suffer from winter
Injury, at least during the first few
years.
The most rapid growing trees for
fence posts are the willows and the
Carolina popular. OF the two the will
low is considered somewhat more dur
able. The Carolina popular, however,
Is capable of making such {. rapid
growth that it will produce, under
favorable conditions, three or four
posts in five years after planting. Its
straight, single stem. moreover, is
especially favorable for this purpose.
The timber, however. is so lacking in
durability that 1t is hardly worth
while to set it for posts without CIV
Ing some preservative treatment.
Two coats of gas tar creosote can
readily be applied with brush, after
seasoning the posts for six or eight
weeks. and thus make them of consid-
cradle greater durability. An mex
pensive tank arrangement, or even a
barrel, may be used for dipping the
butt ends of the posts, by which
means their durability may be greatly
increased
All trees for posts should be set
rather close together, about four by
six feet, in rows. Frequent cultiva.
tion during the growing season will, to
some extent. take the place of irri.
CATION. Some pruning may be neces-
sary during the first few years in
order to secure single stems without
forks or bad branches.

BILLY AND SPORT

Billy wandered away from home
and got lost. His folks were very
mueh frightened and his papa and
the men were all out hunting for
him when he got home his dog,
Sport showed him the way home.
II Billy hes no brothers nor sisters
and they live 'on a ranch ten miles
from neiglhbors who have children,
so ahis papa got Sport for him to
play with. Here lis Rilly's story.
| Sport and / took a long walk
/, down by the creek. We walked
along the creek for IA long time
having fun. Sport caught fish and
brought it to me but / left it on the
ground, ut felt so slippery and cold
Ut begun to get dark and l was
hungry but could not find the way
home. I was scared then, it was so
big and lonesome outside, and 1 be-
gan to cry, but nobody came and l
was afraid of the dark.
!. When Sport heard me CRYING he
came and licked my hands and kept
very close to ne. I wasn't much Ia
fraid then and stopped crying, but
when he trotted ran along by his
side cause it was so lonesome to be
left alone
l was SO hungry and tired 1 cried
some more. was afraid Sport
would go away and leave me and
kept as close to him as l could, it
was getting SO dark but he kept
running back to me and then he
would lick my hands.
Pretty soon we came to the lane
wh CHI goes to our house and | knew
we were near home. When we came
i'm my mamma YVES crying, too.
She Rugged me tight and cried
hard, and told Simon to go and tell
papa a-d he did and brought papa
| home.
Papa said if Sport had not been
with me maybe he could not have
found me, so mamma fixed him a
big plate of meat and bread and
| gravy at supper, and | made,
beg for it. cause he begs
funny. Sport is the incest dog ever
| saw.

The Baby Squirrels First Lesson
One bright day a mother squirrel
was trying to- teach her baby how
to jump from ore branch Of the tree
ito another. They were rather high
up i'm a big oak tree and having
lots of fun running up and down
the limbs. i,
Every few minutes the mother
would jump and then turn about,
ard chatter for a moment and then
jump back again.
The baby WATCHED his mother
jump several times, then he began
to chatter to her as if saying:.I
want to jump too, mother, show me
how you do it,
The mother gave another jump
and went sailin down to another
branch, then she turned and called
back in her squirrel language to
her baby.
He poked he's little head out over
the edge of the limb where he sat
a nd locked a her and chartered.
| Then she came running back and
gave him a few more instructions,
lea ed to branch near by and
back again, and then stood beside
the little one as he was making
ready to jump.
Ii Final y he screwed up his courage
ventured to the end of the branch
and gave a spring in the air.
Poor little fellow!He missed the
NIB and fell to the ground fully3O
feet below, where he lay stunned
and apparently dead.
The mother came down the tree
like a streak of lightning and was
by her babys side almost in an
| instant
She put her paw about his head
ard limbs, felt over his body and
seemed at loss what to do. He
still lay apparently lifeless. She
fitted around him, changing the
position of the body by moving
twigs ard leaves, apparently trying
to make him comfortable
When he showed signs of re-
turning cons iousness she seemed
to kiss the hurt places to make
them we'll, then taking the baby in
her mouth size ran up the tree,
jumping from limb to limb until
she reached their nest in the
trunk of the tree.
Two days later the little squir-
rel was jumping and frisking a
round jhst as lively as his mother.
He had learned how to jump in the
y right way.
