"The best time to prune trees II

est,' suggests Prof. N. E. Hansen Of
South Dakota State college. He says:
"The white elm, which is South Dako-
ta's favorite shade tree, needs careful
attention because it has the fault Of
making too strong extension of young
branches, which are subject to being
broken off close to the main trunk by
strong winds. The tree is like a ship
that has set too much sail. To avoid
such injuries care should be taken In
the early years of the growth to head
back the top in June, about one-half of
the new growth, il needed. This
checks the exuberance of growth and
makes a stronger top for the young
tree. For the best results, long-han.
died tree-pruners should be provided,
as it saves much climbing and makes
access easy to trees that otherwise
would remain unpruned. "a very
dense shade is afforded by the native
box elder. OF late years it has been
much subject to the box elder bug. II
the box elder is trimmed prperly, it
will make neatly rounded top. The
native ash needs very little trimming,
as 1T naturally makes round top. It
leaves out rather late in spring. Care
should be taken to trim up the top be-
fore the branches get too large. All
limbs should be trimmed if possible
before they are one inch in diameter.
The soft maple in the southern part
OF the state will suffer from breaking
of branches by strong winds. The
strongest growth of any is made by
native cottonwood and it's allies, such
as the Carolina and Norway poplars,
but they soon get too tall to cast much
shade. On low lands no other tree
makes as much lumber in a short
time as our native cottonwood. In
pruning, never leave stub. The
downward flow of sap never climbs the
stump or stub left in pruning. Prun.
ing wounds, especially large ones,
should be covered with lead paint"

COYOTE FRIGHTENs THE TOWN
Savage Animal Finally Driven Away
by School Children Unaware Of
Danger.

A gaunt gray coyote terrorized Por-
tola, Cal. It was first noticed when 1t
attacked two dogs at the residence of
Thomas Dorithy.
Mrs. ]. Hardy, who was passing at
the time, narrowly escaped being bit
ten when the coyote broke away from
the dogs and attempted to attack her.
The dogs pulled it down again, how.
ever, before it reached her.
During the recess period it appeared
at the schoolhouse, but the children
chased it in a body and frightened 1t
away. They were not aware Of the
real danger.
A number of hunters are securing
the hills close to town in an endeavor
to locate and kill the coyote.
