What is the difference between a
septic tank and cesSp0Ol?

septic tank and ceSSpOOi!
A septic tank is water-tight reser-
voir placed below the surface of the
ground into which sewage enters and
leaves near the top Of the tank. While
in the septic tank the sewage is de-
composed or broken down into liquid
form, so that it may be more easily
purified by bacteria of the soil when it
passes out into the seepage system. A
cesspool may be considered as large
inverted bucket which is usually placed
deep enough in the soil to reach a
sandy or coarse sub-soiI. Little purify
ing action has chance to take place
in a cesspool and it is, therefore, not a
safe way to dispose of sewage.-Nor-
ton v. Ives, extension agricultural en-
gineer.
Can a twenty-foot spruce tree be
successfully transplanted, and if SO,
when and how should it be done?
The movement of so large a tree
can best be done in the winter time.
In the fall, just before freeze-up, dig a
trench around the tree about three
feet away from the trunk. Then under
mine this core or large ball Of earth,
leaving only stem at the middle. Dig
hole large enough to hold that ball
of earth in the place where you want
the tree and fill this hole with straw.
cover the dirt that you dig out to
prevent it from freezing. Some time
during the winter when the ball of
earth containing the tree has been
thoroughly frozen, break, it off from
the ground, put it in the hole that you
have prepared, fill in around it with
the dirt that you have kept mulched
and lamp it firmly. Retamp it again
in the spring. Handled in this way,
the tree should hardly know that it
has been moved-E. G. Cheyney, di-
vision of forestry.
