Proper Planting Of Shade Trees.

TIOPST V1auSSU9 " ouaOS "uVSSos
The beauty Of a shade tree depends
upon its normal and symmetrical
growth. In order to insure this, be-
fore planting cut off the ends Of all
broken or mutilated roots; remove all
side branches save upon evergreens,
so that straight whiplike stalk alone
remains. Dig holes at least two feet
in diameter and one foot deep in good
soil, and make them four feet across
In poor soil. The sides of holes should
be perpendicular and the bottom fiat.
Break up soil in the bottom of the hole
to the depth Of the length Of spade
blade. Place two or three inches Of
fine top soil, free from sods or other
decomposing organic matter, in the
bottom of the hole. On top Of this
place the roots of the tree, spread
them as evenly as possible over the
bottom of the hole, and cover with
two or three inches of fine top soil
as before. Tramp firmly with the feet
and fill the hole with good earth, leav-
ing the surface loose and little higher
than the surface of the surrounding
soil. When the work Of planting is
completed, the tree should stand about
two inches deeper than it stood in the
nursery.

smoking started 315.
Defective chimneys we're the cause
of 297 blazes. and sparks from the
