Best Wav to Plant Trees.

When setting out fruit trees. If the
best possible results are desired dig the
holes fully three feet deep and twice
the diameter required by the roots
Mix the dirt that was removed thor
oughly with manure. using half as
much manure as soil Fill up the hole
with this compound so that the trees
will not be planted deeper than they
were I'm the nursery. Over this mixture
spread n little soil so the roots will not
come In direct contact with manure
Set the tree and cover the roots with
soil that has not been mixed nth fer
tilizer. After the roots are covered fill
the space with the mixture. Before set
ting the tree n pailful or two of water
should be used. and pailful or two
after the tree is set will settle the soil
and keep 1t moist so the tree will be
sure to start. Stamp the dirt well about
the roots before applying the last pals
Of water.
This Is considerable work. but II will
be forgotten very soon. Trees planted
like this will thrive and be lifelong
satisfaction. a reminder that what Is
worth doing IL worth doipg well.

July 4 In Ante. prohibition DAYS.

One Of the earliest genuine Fourth
Of July celebrations ever recOrded-that
at independence hall. Philadelphia, in
179O-is chronicled by Christopher Mar
shall In his diary Of the American Rev.
Olution. 1t is graphic sketch, II not
a lovely one:
July A: Commencement began at
Philadelphia College this forenoon, Mt
which many attended. "" This be-
ing the anniversary Of our freedom
from English bondage, sundry vessels
saluted the town. -" The company
Of Artillery and the Invaders Regi-
ment marched to the State House,
where the Congress, President Of the
State and Council with a number OF
officers attended; bell-ringing, guns fir
ing till the evening, and until numbers
were 80 drunk as to reel home"
1t was q wonder any Independence
hall was left. Perhaps on account Of
that very tendency to irresponsible
drunkenness and equally irresponsible
gunfire the more intelligent classes re-
Trained from encouraging celebrations
Of the Fourth at the statehouse.

TO GROW TOMATOES.
Characteristic of the Good Plant 10 q
Strong and Extensive Root.

Characteristic of the Good Plant 10 q
Strong and Extensive Root.
Many growers of late tomatoes for
canning purposes underestimate the
Importance Of good plants for setting.
says a bulletin recently issued by tn,
New Jersey State College of Agricul.
ture.
Under ideal weather and soil condi.
tons very small and weak plants will
i've" the bulletin continues. but the
experience Of several years past in
some parts Of New Jersey has shown
that such conditions are not apt to
prevail; hence. in dry seasons and al
ways In nOrtherly localities where re-
planting is likely to give too late q
| crop, the strength Of the first plants
set is an all important point. Some
planters prefer to run the risk Of los
ing plants, with the intention Of re-
planting such as are lost, rather than
to take a little extra care In produc-
ing sets Of the best kind. In the un
usual season. such as that of 1914.
such, growers are almost certain to
sustain loss.
1.-THE first characteristic Of the strong
plant is strong and extensive root
system, since with such q root system
there usually goes a stock stem, which
all growers like to have. Crowded
plants cannot develop the right kind Of
roots, for the simple reason that they
have not room enough for expansion.
Some growers who aim to get an early
start by sowing seed in the greenhouse
or cold frame may often lose all they
expect to gain, because they feel COM
PEELED to utilize all the space to the
utmost by cfowding the seedlings. In
many such cases field sowing with
more space between the plants would
give as good or better results with
less labor.
ut Is the opinion Of the experiment
station authorities that transplanting
could be done much more easily and
cheaply than many growers seem to
think. Where transplanting is not
done. thinning is advised. Growers are
urged to try the underwriting method
on few rows this year, as this meth
cd promises good results"

In fruiting. If your orchard

DESTROY CATTLE GRUBS.

Farmers Lose Millions Annually From
This Destructive Pest.
Thousands Of dollars may be saved
If cattle growers will this spring re
move and destroy the grubs in the
backs Of cattle.
L. j. Talbert. specialist in ento
mology In the Kansas Agricultural col
lege extension division, says that the
season when grubs are prevalent ex
tends from January to June. wheI
about half the cattle that 60 to market
are infested.
The damage amounts to between
$50. O00. 900 and $5O.O00,OOO year. The
grub weakens the cattle, causes them
to fall Off In flesh and milk and de
creases the value of the hides.
The characteristic Jumps or swellings
which, may, be found under the skin on
the backs Of many cattle at this time
contain grubs. The grubs may be
pressed out through the opening at
the top OF the swelling. A sharp knife
and pair Of tweezers will often IA
Cilitate the work. Care should be TAX
en- to crush all the grubs removed, SO
as to prevent their further develop
ment and transformation into flies. II
Is advisable to examine the cattle for
Jumps or swellings over the back every
two or three weeks during late winter
and early spring
Various oils are often used, the To-
ton being smeared over the infested
region or applied TO the mouth Of the
breathing hole Of the grub. Kerosene
emulsion. fish oil and train oil are
often used with good results One or
two applications are usually sufficient
The objection to this method is that
the wounds do not heal readily unless
the grubs are removed.
These measures may not be practica-
BILE in the case Of large herds Of half
wild cattle. as 1t is necessary to bring
the animals into close quarters In
small pens or chutes. In the case Of
small herds the removal and destruction
Of the grubs are an easy task. The flies
do not migrate far and often the clean
ing up of individual herds and the
care Of animals brought to the prem
Uses will control the pest.
