simple. First you determine the amount
of complete plant food required by
the tree which you are going to feed.
To do this measure the diameter Of
the tree at a point about feet from
the ground. To each inch of diameter
allow 3 pounds of complete plant food.
Inasmuch as the main feeding roots
of a tree extend out in a circle equiva-
lent to the circle made by the drip
of the branches, this is the proper
place to apply the plant food. Make
a series of holes, 2 inches in diameter
and about Is inches deep under the
drip of the branches in zigzag fash
ion. The holes can be made best with
a ground auger but a crowbar or
other pointed device can be satisfac-
torily used Fill the holes half full
Of the complete plant food and COM
plete filling with soil That is all
there is to tree feeding-really it is
easier to do than it is to tell about.

The stately old trees that beautify
your home would be difficult, and
certainly costly, to replace if they
should die. Old trees seem so strong
and hardy that few of us ever con-
slider their well-being, yet they are
subject to disease and the ravages of
insects as are all forms OF plant life.
Trees really don't require very much
attention unless decay has already set
in. The important thing is to be sure
that they are supplied with suffi-
cheney of all the food elements they
require. A well fed tree, like well fed
animal, seldom succumbs to disease.
Supplying four old trees with plenty
of all the plant food elements they
require is not at all difficult. for the
complete plant food that beauties
your lawn and garden and makes your
vegetables tastier, as well as quicker
maturing, will also have the desired
effect on your old trees.
The process of tree feeding is quite

when the range was finally procured
and fenced in 1909.
For selection of the range, Montan-
ans and the nation owe DR.. Morton j..
Elrod, long head Of the biological de-
partment at the State university, a
debt of gratitude. At DR.. Hornaday'S
suggestion, he ranged all western Mon
tana and the panhandle of Idaho in
quest of the ideal spot. Finally con-
Guiding that the area near MoieSe
looked best, he and Duncan MacDon-
aid rode forth and back over the area
for three days to more closely inves-
tigate types Of native grasses, soil and
water.
The little herd has prospered. Some
1900 surplus animals have been sold,
some for propagation purposes, some
dressed The herd now numbers $40
adult animals. Twenty calves have been
born already this spring and an addi-
tional 40 are expected.
Important only as a rarity is the
fact that two albino bison, the only
albinoS ever born in a managed herd,
have been reared on the MoieSe range
The incidence Of albinoS Is computed
at one in every 100000 to 5000 600
Last one Of these was a pure albino
lacking even sufficient pigment for
proper formation of lenses in the eye.
He was consequently blind and rear
ing him was g difficult problem since
his mother abandoned him because
he could not see to follow her. He was
successfully reared by DR.. Norton and
sent to the geological gardens at Wash
tngton, d. @.

NATIONAL BISON
RANGE HISTORY
DIR. ROBERT S. NORTON, MAN
AGER OF RESERVE, TELLS OF
ITS ORIGIN
Buffalo Once Ranged From Atlantic
SeabOard to Eastern Oregon and
From Slave Lake in Canada Nearly
to Mexico City, He Says.

The American bison and the
part played by Montana and Mon
tanans in rescuing Americas
greatest game animal from extinc-
ton were discussed before the Es-
quire club of Kalispell by DR.. Rob
ert S. Norton, manager of the ma
tiOnal bison range at Moiese. The
American bison, he said, once
ranged from the Atlantic seaboard
to eastern Oregon and from the
Great Slave lake In Canada to within
800 miles Of the site of Mexico City. At
their peak, the bison are believed to
have numbered 70,O00,000. Then came
the railroads and the hide hunters. In
a single year $1,000 hides were shipped
from Fort Benton alone. BY 1894 the
bison had reached almost the vanish
ing point In the United States the
best count indicated fewer than 400.
There were a few In Canada.
Alarmed at the condition, Theodore
Roosevelt, DR.. William Hornaday and
others organized the American bison
society. The remnant of a herd that
had taken refuge In Yellowstone park
was protected.
A small herd had been started pri-
vately in the Flathead. This herd
traced to two pair brought by Walking
Coyote, a Pend OreiIle Indian, by trail
from Milk river valley. When they had
increased to IA, he sold 10 to Pablo
and Allard, F1athead stockmen, and
the herd continued TO prosper. Major
share of the herd was sold to the Ca
madam government and the remainder
found Its way into the small Conrad
herd, which once pastured on the pres
ent site Of the Kalispell golf course
and gives the hill It's name
1t was this small herd which formed
the nucleus, with two gift animals,
for the government herd at MoieSe,

Pinks Make Nice Gardens

Dainty flowers with a wide range Of
coloring adaptable for many garden
uses, are to be found IN the many
varieties of the pinks. There are so
many different pinks that a whole
garden could be planted with them
alone. For bedding, cutting, edging,
rock garden, potting, or just garden
color, they have unlimited usefulness,
and fortunately most Of them are very
hardy and easy to grow.
The annual pinkS terminate from
seed with surprisingly alacrity, and
can be seen peeping above the ground
within a week of planting. Pink and
red are the predominating colors, and
they come in single and double forms
Transplant them to about inches
apart, and in a very few weeks you
will have a gorgeous flash of color in
your garden that will continue most
of the summer if you win keep the
blooms cut when they begin TO fade.
Plant them profusely in mass, and
as edgingS-in fact, in almost any
they will give unrivaled satisfaction
with a minimum of trouble and eX-
pense, so long as they have rich
rare and adequate drainage.
A fragrant flash Of pinks used for an
edgng for your garden walk is superb.
The Chinese and Japanese strains of
double pinks give an amazingly varied
collection of blended coloring, with
fringed petals. The single Towering
strains have larger flowers, some Of
them 2 or inches in diameter.
The Sweet williams, which are BIZ
ennials, belong to the family of pinks.
They should be sown each spring to
produce plants for the following year.
