the trees. But such rights are often
difficult to secure. and are not always
satisfactory either to tho public-serv-
Ice corporations or to the owners of
the property. The former naturally
do not care for these rights Of way
unless they are legal and permanent,
and the owners in granting perma-
mont rights run risk of lowering the
value of the property. Most Of the
very high tension transmission serv-
ices, however, are at present on pri-
vate property and seldom interfere
with trees. High tension lines are at
fected seriously merely by close prox-
unity to trees.
On general principles it Is not wise
to allow wires to be attached to trees.
although this is often done. Trolley
and electric light wires are frequently
guyed to trees. but they are a source
Of danger. since injury is likely to oc-
cur from the crossing Of the wires
and lightning discharges occasionally
pass from the wires to the trees, caus-
ing damage. 1t is, however, often bet
ter to allow this than to endure the
erection of ugly poles; but proper
insulation Of the wires should be in
sisted on, although ordinary insula-
tors have little> effect on lightning dis
charges. The lagbolt system in COM
mon use for guying wires to trees is
not the best method, for sooner or
later the wire and bolt become i'm
bedded in the tree and cause injury.
Moreover, direct metal connection
with tree is Objectionable, as it has
in more than one instance proved The
block system is better, although 1t
may not in all cases be free from OBJ
jections. In no case should wire be
allowed to pass tightly around tree.

wires come into contact with limbs,

ployed, sof which there are various
types. some being quite effective in
preventing injury from low-voltage

The ctp,nrnon n1tle red ant, which
makes tiny hills on our walks and IN
the grass, can be destroyed by pouring
a little gasoline in each hole. Half
teacupful to teacupful will suffice TOR
from three to six holes. Do not be
afraid to use plenty of gasoline, In
order to reach the queen or queens
which lay the eggs. This liquid, how
ever, will kill grass or plants where 1t
comes in direct contact with them.
The large mounds out of doors. each
Of which is occupied by hundreds OF
ants can be easily treated with bi-
sulphide OF carbon. Make eight or

throw a couple of wet burlap sacks

While ants, when seen climbing up
apple trees, or shrubbery and plants.
1enerally do not directly injure the

In many instances each line OF tile
Is made to empty into an open ditch.
This saves the expense and work OF
laying the main tile. However, the
difficulty Of keeping SO, many open
ings free from obstruction is usually
so great that it pays better to COM
bine the water from all drains into q
single main, having but one opening.
In using this system the lines OF
tile should, Of course, run with the
slope of the land, rather than across
1t.
The grouping system Of drainage
Gig. 81, is used where the land Is ir-
regular in contour and has depres-
sions needing drainage with higher
land between not requiring drainage.
Much land is so situated that great
benefit would come to 1t, with very
small expenditure. with this system.
Some Of the important benefits Of
Drainage may be briefly summarized
as follows: It removes surplus water
and makes room for more capillary
water, thus increasing the supply
available to iplant-roots.
It makes possible the storage Of
large quantities of moisture against

bear in mind, however, that until the

continue to come.

What Slope is Best
For Peach Orchards!

Where an orchard occupies site
that Is adjacent to large body Of wa
ter, the importance of a relatively
high elevation largely disappears. To
be a factor in the matter, however.
body of water must be of sufficient
size and depth to have an apprecia-
BILE influence on the local climate. Be-
cause the water warns up IN the
spring more slowly than the atmos-
phere. 1t acts In effect as refrigera-
tor. making the temperature In It's
immediate vicinity colder than 1t is at
points somewhat distant from 1t. For
this reason vegetation within the zone
Of this influence advances more slowly
in the spring than 1t does outside OF
that zone. The tendency is for the
poisoning of peach trees situated
within the zone to be delayed until
after the season of spring frosts Is
past
In the fall frosts are delayed In
similar manner, except that the large
body Of water, having absorbed much
heat during the summer, cools on In
the fall more slowly than the atmos-
phere, and hence it tends to keep the
Temperature wit lin its zone of influ-
ence warmer tt an it would otherwise
be.
1t is because Of these reasons that
peaches are grown with marked sue
cess and injury to the crops by adj
verse temperature conditions is COM
paratively infrequent 'in the portions
of New York and the province of On
tario that border Lake Ontario;
in Ohio along Lake Erie; In south
western Michigan, on Lake Michi-
gan, and In some other districts which
are adjacent to large bodies of water.
AS rule, the zone of influence OF bod
les of water, such as those named. Is
rather narrow. usually not extending
back from the shore more than few
miles.
The slope or exposure Of site is
the point of the compass toward which
the land inclines. A question very
con, monty asked is. What slope is
