PLANT TREES WITH DYNAMITE
Excellent Results Secured at Two New
Jersey Experiment Stations-cost
Is Little More.

With peach trees planted at the
Vineland substation of the New Jer-
sey experiment station, the average
growth of the dynamited trees the
first season was 794 inches, as COM
pared with an average growth Of 655
inches for trees planted in the ordinary
way. In all cases the ground was
thoroughly plowed before planting.
In another test in the same orchard
there was a difference ranging from
$50 inches, or over fifty-four feet, Of
growth to 1897 inches, or over 116 feet
Of growth per tree in favor Of dyna-
hitting. Similar results were obtained
with peaches at New Brunswick,
whereas the apple trees showed prac-
tically no difference in the amount of
growth between the trees planted with
dynamite and those planted in the or
binary way. In all the tests made the
percentage of trees living through the
first season was practically the same
under both methods of planting.
The cost of planting was about five
cents greater per tree for the dyna-
mited trees. Although no conclusions
are drawn from the first years work,
the opinion is expressed that the use
OF dynamite for planting fruit trees Is
worthy of thorough trial.

Sensation Not Altogether Pleasant,
F. Though Almost Every One Seeks
the Experience.

When the European or American
tourist first lands In Japan he at once
demands jinrikisha. Having read OF
it and heard so much of 1t he wants
an immediate experience of 1t as soon
as he finds himself in the land OF Its
birth. Almost any day one may see
procession Of men and women, ashore
for a day or two from a steamer In
port, making their way up the crowded
thoroughfares of Tokyo, sitting rather
awkwardly in their jinrikishas, trem-
bling unbalanced over the axle. not
knowing whether the thing Is going to
tip backward or fall forward, so loose
ly does the puller seem to hold the
shafts. The first time one gets into
jinrikisha he always feels like baby,
and this gawkish sensation coupled
with that of the uncertainty of ones
position in balancing 1t, renders the
experience not quite so pleasant as
anticipated. But the only way for
comfort Is to sit back at ones ease
and leave the responsibility to the man
who pulls it.-Japan Magazine.
