KEEPING TREES HEALTHY
THROUGH THE WINTER

Irrigation Of ornamental trees in
early autumn tends to produce conttn-
ued growth and succulency in the new
shoots at . season when the new wood
should be maturing to resist winter
killing. .
After the leaves fall and before
the ground freezes it is advisable 70
water the trees in order to store moist
ure available for the roots during the
winter.
Most lawn and shade trees, grow
ing under artificial conditions and not
in forest soil, suffer for lack Of nutri-
tion. The trees would thrive better
if the sod were removed for several
feet around the base Of the tree, the
ground stirred by spading to secure
aeration, and fertilizer of wood ash
es, leaf mold or well rotted stable
manure applied each autumn at the
falling of the leaves. In the spring
the sod may be replaced, if the owner
objects to the appearance.
A good spring tonic for trees, and
one furnishing nitrogen, the elements
most likely to be found in too little
quantity in our soils, is found in the
following mixture:
pound nitrate of soda,
s pounds cotton-seed meal,
2 pounds acid phosphate,
2 pounds muriate Of potash.
The whole is mixed just before US
ing and applied at the rate of pound
to every 100 square feet, in the spring,
before the leaves come out.-W. J.
Morrill,, Colorado Agricultural College,
Fort Collins, Colorado.

new AERIAL TORyH
Enables Scout to Make 0bserVa-
tons at Night.
Capable of Illuminating Battlefield,
Protecting Itself, Finally ExpIod-
ing With Terrific Effect

Prominent military officers have ex-
pressed their approval of f1aring
torch, the late development of a Texas
inventor, that is primarily designed to
enable an aerial scout to make obser-
vations behind enemy lines at night.
The instrument has number of
ingenious features, and as q whole
the earmarks OF being not only an eff
fective, but also Il destructive Wea-
pom. 1t is potentially capable of bril-
liantly illuminating a considerable
area of Il battlefield for Il period of ten
minutes, formidably protecting itself
against disturbance in the meantime,
and finally exploding. destroying what
ever may be within 30 or 10 feet.
1t has three major parts. The base
consists of pointed cone that houses
a heavy bomb. On one side of this is
fixed a cylinder holding q quantity of
powder for priming purposes. At the
middle, radiating III all directions Il
couple of feet from the bottom, are 81
rifle barrels arranged in tiers of seven.
SurmOunting these is tank contain
ing a special powder that gives off an
intense light when ignited. Gaping
the top is parachute-Shaped reflector
that serves the double function Of
properly distributing the light rays
and in a degree breaking the fall Of
the torch, which is supposed to be
dropped from an airpIane.
In its present form the apparatus
weighs 3S pounds, and it is estimated
veniently carried by a military birIane.
As needed, they would he released by
the observer so as to strike desired
points within the enemyS lines. The
device is balanced so that it falls point
down, and from an average height will
penetrate the ground for a distance of
about a foot, thus firmly anchoring it
self.
The resulting impact discharges
percussion cap that ignites the cylin-
der of priming powder. This touches
off the Illuminating substance and ig
mites Il series of time fuses connecting
each of the rifles. While the torch
flares brightly, throwing its light in all
directions across a field, the rifles dis
charge one after the other, making any
attempt to overturn 1t exceedingly
hazardous. At the same time that
the light extinguishes itself a fuse
leading TO the bomb in the base is
lighted. The explosion of the latter
demolishes the torch and does damage
to anything near it.

Ancient English Tree.

There grows in the beautiful garden
Of the dowager counties Of Derby, in
England an ancient oak tree which Is
said to be the oldest one In England.
The size of the trunk of this vener-
able oak testif1es to its antiquity, but
on stone seat by its side is more d.
rect evidence. The seat bears tablet
recording that Wilberforce wrote in
his diary in 17SS that he well remem-
bered, after a conversation with Pitt,
and before descending ints the Vale of
Keston, sitting at the foot Of "an old
tree" and resolving to give notice In
the house Of commons that he would
move the abolition of the slave trade.
The tree in question, which was
therefore a. good age 130 years ago, Is
pr ssseEEed ed WITH zine- pIafV
where the damp might gather, and tkses
branches are held up with iron bars,
but 1t bears goodly crop Of leaves,
and seems good for many years Of life.

EVERY STATE HAS ITS STAR
Is Definitely Regulated by Law
and Executive Order

Did you know that every star In our
American flag has it's own individual
and particular state which it repre-
sentS and that its placement on the
square of blue is carefully and def
nitely regulated by law and executive
order?
In 1912, on October 26 the last ex-
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made. and it provided for the specific
arrangement of the stars, says the De-
troiU Free Press: They We're to be
arranged in six horizontal rows OF
eight stars each. Starting in the
right upper left-hand corner and plac-
ing each row from left to right. the
star corresponding to each state is
named in the order of the states rati-
ticHtion of the constitution.
Thus star No. l. in the upper left
hand corner. is for Delaware. Star
No 1S, in the lower right hand cor
ner is for Arizona.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh which
is an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood On the mu-
cous surfaces of thet system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
