PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Set the
Roots Too Deep In Soil.


The beginner in tree planting usually
sets his trees too deep rather than too
shallow in the relatively heavy soils of
Missouri, j. c. Written of the depart
ment Of horticulture of the University
of Missouri says.
Young trees should be selected for
planting, and they should be set at the
same depth at which they stood in the
nursery" Mr.. Written said. Trees
turn to the northeast and grow crooked
because Of the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season.
The tree should be set with the heavier
side to the southwest to avoid this.
THE roots should be trimmed so as
not ito be cramped' and any ragged
wounds taken off. Peach trees should
be pruned most severely after planting
of any Of the orchard fruits. Trim all
branches of, leaving single whip;
then shorten the whip to a height of
about two and one-half feet Cherry
trees should be less severely trimmed.
If well branched the center of the tree
should be cut out. The Japanese plum
tree should be shaped like the peach.
Other plum, apple and pear trees, hav-
ing only single whip, should be treat
ed likewise. Older trees may be treat
ed like the cherry, with the exception
that all branches may be shortened to
one-half or one-third of their natural
length

Sentiment Is Unknown.

That the mail order houses are after
your money is an undisputed fact.
Every dollar sent to them leaves your
neighborhood forever. The mail order
house may bear upon it's face the
semblance of friendship, but no human
heart beats under its cloak of hypoc-
risy. Sentiment to it is unknown.
The whole institution is as cold and
bloodless as a corpse.
There never was a farm in all
Christendom whose value was increas-
ed by the mail order houses. They are
parasites to which life is worthy Of
notice only while they can draw the
financial blood out OF the communities
to the upbuilding of which they con
tribute nothing. They create no local
market for the product of the farms.
They have no property in the country
which can be assessed to help bear the
burden of taxation,

Can Duplicate Every Offer.

In every town in the country the 10

duplicate every offer seductively set
forth in the catalogues of mail order
houses, and more. He will trump the
best trick the mail order house ever
played If you will put down spot cash
and accept from him class of goods
devoid of respectable ancestry and
upon which no reputable manufacture
er's name can be found, but in which
the disease germs of prison made goods
are secreted.
He can sell cheap goods if you will
buy them from him with your eyes
shut. He can meet the best price
ever made by mail order house if
you will plank down your money and
accept what he gives you without
question and without recourse. But
you must not expect him to he in his

The Quack Doctor of Commerce.

The retail mail order house is the
quack doctor Of commerce. 1t prom
ises much and guarantees nothing
Like patent medicines. the directions
are always on the inside, and you must
buy a nonreturnable package before
you can find out what they are.
The mail order house never helped
to build the little white school in your
district or turnpike the road past your
door. No mail order house ever took
you by the hand when you were in
distress and told you to let the little
account run until after harvest next
year. No mail order house ever sold
you vehicle and spent every cent Of
its profits in the community where
you and your neighbOrs could get it
all back again. No mail order house
ever showed its patent leather shoes
under your table and rejoiced with you
when you were glad. nor spoke en-
couraging words when affection visited
you, nor stood with uncovered head
beside the graves of your children.
