Setting Trees.

mixture.
Setting Trees.
Setting a tree OF shrub so it viii
grow is very easy matter. There are
a few simple things 70 keep in mind
while at work 1t is through the roots
of the tree that the tree gets its sup
ply of water. This water must come
up from the subsoil by capillarity. In
order to get water to rise by capil-
larity the soil must be solid and well
packed. Too often we place several
inches Of loose dirt below the tree with
the mistaken idea that roots grow bet
ter in such situations. What we have
done is to create an air space below
the tree and if abundant rains do not
come Immediately the roots will dry
out and the tree will be injured.
The hole should be dug large
enough so the roots can be placed ir
their natural positions and deep
enough so the tree can be set little
deeper than it grew in the forest or
nursery.
In digging and handling the tree
many roots are injured. These should
be cut off. The top Of the tree should
be cut back to balance the root system,
At best the roots of the tree are going
to be taxed in their new situation 20
supply as much water as the top has
been using If part of the top is
removed less water will be needed.
1t is a good practice to prune out 4
large amount of the top.
In setting the tree or shrub don't be
afraid to pack the dirt around the
roots. Use the feet and tramp the dirt
in well. Begin with the first shovel
full and tramp it solid to within three
or four inches of the top. This top
should be left loose for mulch. But
don't be afraid to tramp the dirt about
the roots of the tree. The heavier the
man that does the work the better.

H. c. HOFFNESTER,
A PIONEER, IS DEAD
Well.Known TiIsit Man Suffered
From DrOpsy and Paralysis
Was "a.

Henry c. Hoffmeister, "a years old,
Civil War veteran and one of the best
known residents Of Cape Girardeau
county, died at his home in Tilsit at
$50 o'clock last night, after linger-
ing illness of dropsy. His illness was
aggravated by q stroke of apoplexy,
which eventually caused his death.
The funeral services will be held
from the Evangelical church in TilSit
tomorrow at l o'clock. Burial Will De
in the church cemetery.
Mr.. Hoffmeister, who was born in
Germany, came to this country when
he was but a boy, and had lived in the
vicinity of Tilsit for half q century.
When the Civil War broke out he
Joined the Union army and served
until the restoration of peace. Few
persons in this county were better
known than this pioneer. He is I
member of the wcll-known Hoffmeis-
ter family, who have been prominent
i'll the business and political circles of
this part of the State for two gen.
erations.
Mr.. Hofmeister had suffered from
dropsy for four years. His illness
kept him confined to his home, and
when he suffered a stroke of paralysis
three years ago it was not believed
that he would survive. But in spite
of his age and general physical con1i-
ton, his health improved. For the
past year, however, he had suffered
general decline and his death had been
expected for many weeks.
Mr.. Hoffmister is survived by his
widow and several children.

MAN FALLS DOWN
BIG SMOKESTACK
Expert, Working On Brewery
Chimney, Is Saved By
Damper.

John Weber, an expert of St. Louis,
who is constructing new smoke stack
at the Cape Brewery & Ice Company's
plant on South Middle street, fell q
distance Of more than forty feet yes
terday, but was saved from serious
injury by dropping on the damper.
He was sitting on a rope, which
was stretched across the top of The
stack. In driving rivet he made q
misstrokc and the riveter struck the
rope, Severing it.
He was precipitatcd down the huge
chimney, but strucI, the damper near
the bottom, breaking his fall. Tho
damper had been closed to shut of the
draft while he was at work, and this
prevented him plunging to the pave
mont below.
Mr.. Weber vas bruised, but not
badly hurt. Workmen, who were as
sisting him, saw him drop into the
smokestack and rushed to his as
siStance
'T'm a lucky guy" exclaimed Weber
to the rcScucrs, who expected TO find
him mangled if not dead.
THAT was pretty hard bump, and
| am glad I didn't fall head down
ward" he added.
Weber climbed back on his perch
and renewed his work.

dcrS are permissible if the alley is
Low and needs filling, but they should
be rakcd out smooth to present a neat
appearance. Keep 4 large box in
your ward to receive the tin cans and
broken crockery. Never put garbage
in the box. The best thing to do with
garbage until we get some method Of
collecting it, is to get your laundrcss
to take it twice or three times week
for her chickens, or make yourself a
chicken yard and feed the dry stuff to
them, but keep in mind that chickens
do not eat raw potato peels readily,
nor celery tops; these two bug-bears
to the housekeeper can be boiled and
drained and then the chickens will
clean it up. Otherwise burn them in
the range or bury IN some part of
your garden. Each housekeeper must
solve this as best she can. We hope
some near day may see Cape Girar-
deau with garbage ordinances. In the
meantime don't throw it in the yard
or alley. There are wire or iron bas-
kets, which hardware stores sell, that
are fine to burn papers, etc, in, so
there need be none flying around the
ward or street. You can get unslaked
lime nowadays in quantities from five
cents worth up. 1t takes only few
Jumps mixed with some water to dis
solve Il and some tallow or parafine
wax or salt and little blueing, then
more water, to make a quantity of
good whitewash which is easily put
on with an ordinary large paint brush.
Any man or woman can make the
wash and apply same to fences, tree
trunks, outhouses, etc. Unslaked lime
is good to throw under houses which
set on open foundations, also to put
in damp places. around the yard, in
chicken yards stables, outhouses and
under porchcs, in cellars, etc. Lot
of places around our premises ar
benefited by it.

SOY BEANSPOPULAR
IN CAPE COUNTY
c. M. McWilIiams Says They
Can be Planted With
The Corn.
(By C.. NJ. M'WILLIAMS.)

A number of inquiries have come to
the office of the county agent for soy
bean seed. 1t seems that this crop
will be used more this year than
formerly. Soybeans, especially when
planted with corn, yield large returns.
They may be planted with the corn by
using cowpea attachment on the
planter, or-as several men did last
year-the corn may be drilled and the
beans drilled in the same rows. The
corn and beans make almost perfect
feed for hogs. The entire crop may
be cut with z corn binder and put in
the siIo, or the corn may be harvested
and the sOyboans pastured afterward.
The varieties best known here are the
"2Iongel," MEDIUM Yellow" and the
Get" The soybean yields a higher
percentage Of seed than the coWpea
and where they are grown largely for
the grain this is a considerable adj
vantage.
