planting. 1t Is important TO set the
plants a little deeper than they were
before. If planted too deep, however,
the bark OF the buried stems would be
injured and growth would be checked
until roots form nearer the sur
face. .
In planting dormant bushes 1t ia de-
sirable to trim the ends of broken
roots and any that r too long just
before they are put into the hole, SO
that there will be smooth. fresh sur
fnces which can cnllus and heal over.
1t is usual to have this fresh-cut sur
face on the under side Of the root. The
hole In which the bush is to be
planted should be several inches
larger across than the roots will ex-
tend and ample in depth, with a little
loose earth On the bottom. The roots
should be separated well In all direc-
tons with the soil well worked in
among them. separating them into
layers, each OF which should be spread
out like the fingers of the hand. When
the hole Is partially full, the plant
should be shaken up and down so as
to make sure 1t Is In close contact
with the soil under the crown where
the roots branch. When the roots are
we'll covered the soil should be firmed.
This Is best done by tramping. If the
soil Is In proper condition tramping
cannot injure the plants. This will
leave a depression about them, but all
the roots will be covered.
When oil are planted. each one may
be watered, although this usually Is
not necessary. especially IL the roots
have been puddled before planting. II
water Is applied. permit 1t to soak In
about the roots and then fll the hole
with dry earth. DO not tramp after
watering. With the soil wet 1t would
be injurious to compact it more. II
not wntered the depression should be
filled with loose earth the same as
though 1t had been watered. After
planting no watering should be done

The. pillar roses are those not growing

about four months and Is carefully watched. 1t has never been possible

After they learned how to age the cheese they were confronted with the

necessity. The experts treated cows mil. in a special way and found they
could make Just as good or better RoquefMt with II.
Now that the cheese has been made IN experimental laboratories here It
