Ives was interviewed by a Times reporter the first of the week, relative to the possibility ofa prac- tical manner of exterminating the little green worms which havefor the , pastfew years infested the maple trees of this city. Theee worms are hatched early in the spring from eggs of a , * white moth, and immediately attack the soft maple trees, completely de- vastating them cf leaves ina few weeks. Prof. Ives says that these worms may be starved to death by keeping them away from these maple leaves, which seem to constitute the main article of food, which may be done by wrapping a roll of raw wool or Rs cotton about four inches in diameter _/-). about the body of the tree.

Carthage, Ill., Jan. 11.—After con. fessing that he - murdered Gideon Browning in the church at Battle Run, Mich., and attempted to burn his body in the church stove the Rev. John Havelund Carmichael put himeelf out of reach of the law by cutting his throat. Since suepicion has been directed towards the preacher it has been eus- pected that he committed the crime while {nsane. The correctness of this supposition was made more proba- ble by the letter by the suicide, in which he safd that he committed the crime while under the hypnotic influ- ence of his wife. Carmichael cut his throat in the boarding house of Miranda Hughes here. His identity was not suapect- ed until after his act was discovered and the letter which he left was read. He was not dead when found, but the efforts of doctors éo save his life were fruitless. ?

HEELING IN TREES. Method cf Caring for Nursery Stock Until Planted In Spring. A word about heeling in trees at this time will doubtless be of benefit to some of our readers. Where fall delivery of nursery stock is received, it is probably best to heel the trees in rather than to set them out in their permanent location. The setting c-n usually be more satisfactorily done in the spring. John B. Katzner, a suc- | cessful fruit grower of Minnesota, of: | fers the following advice on the sub- ject: | I consider it very important that | ; you buy and order all fruit trees to be delivered in the fall. There is more time all around for the nurseryman | as well as for the farmer at that time | | of the year, and you can take care of | the stock just as well, if not better, | than the nurseryman can by heeling | | in your stock over winter. For this | | work select a place where the water | does not accumulate. When you get | notice that the stock has been shipped, dig a hole the length of the trees, a \ few inches deep, for the tops of the | trees, slanting down to the north to | about two feet for the roots, and wide | enough so‘that all the trees can be | | placed in the trench without crowding | | them too much. For a hundred trees | \& hole six feet wide ts about right. | | When the trees arrive, unpack at! once, prune the roots slanting—so that | the tree will stand on the cut part of | the root when planted, to insure a downward growth of the new roots. | Cut off all broken parts of the roots. | Now place the trees in the hole—| which ought to be a little deeper just where the roots come so that they will | not be injured. When you have put) in about five or six trees, throw a| little dirt on between the roots. Above | the first tier of trees you can place | , one or two more, When all the trees | are in the hole, shovel some more earth on the roots till all are well covered. Now place a board on the ground over the roots and similar boards across the stems and branches, so that the trees are entirely covered. A few short stakes under the boards will keep too great pressure off from the trees. Fill up the hole with dirt, | make a mound a little higher than the surface to let the water flow off and then put on a mulch about a foot deep when the ground freezes up, The _ trees are covered with boards so that they shall not be injured by the shov- | el when they are taken out in the | spring. | The stock is now well heeled in and | will come out of its winter quarters full of sap and vigor, ready to start | {nto active growth at once. It is my experience, running back over the last | 15 years, that trees so handled will not fail to make a growth of from six inches to three feet the first season. If you compare the growth of these trees with spring delivered trees, if you think of the consequent success in the one case and the frequent failure of the other, the great advantage of fall delivery stock will be evident to you. Another advantage of fall de- livery which we must not lose sight of is that we have our trees on hand in spring to plant whenever we are ready. | | A HANDY SACK HOLDER. | It Ie Adjuetable to Any Height Which | Is Convenient. The material for making the sack | holder shown in illustration consists | | of a one-quarter or three-quarter inch | rope about ten feet long, a block of | of wood six or eight inches long, three | or four inches wide, and three-quar- | | Sack Holder In Use, | ters or one inch thick, as shown at A) and the strip B. This strip should be} about three inches wide, and of a) length to suit the sacks used. A hole, is bored in the center of B and three holes in block A as shown. These) holes should be little larger than the| rope used. Thread the blocks as| shown, by putting the two ends! through the center holes in A. Bring | the lower end down, and tie fast to |, strip B, the other end is made fast to block A by tying in the top hole. Now drive two sharp-pointed wire| nails through strip B as shown at) C C for holding the sack. If desired | a heavy wire or strap of fron may be} made fast to B and the ends bent to! fit inside to assist in holding sack | open. The @older has advantages over any other we have used. It is easily moved, as the rope may be| slipped over any nail or projecting Harve M. Robinson, Nevada, Mo boxe Ra werent gp ensngedDhrcd height by pulling the slightly | Stella B.

And as she lifts her down-cast eyes She ylelds her trembling lips to me= | Ah, Adam knew no Hips like these, Felt not this thrill of ecstasy! For Eve was never such as she Who clings upon my willing breast, And never love was quite like this Upon its most triumphant crest! Thus runs the world of love along—~ The same old ways that Adam had! But never lover will admit That Adam had it quite as bad! And never one but knows his Eve Is fairer, purer than the rest, With kisses sweetest that a maid Ere yielded on her lover's breast! The Best By Byron Williams Ah, you traveled men of action, Men who know the ways of men— | You who drink at Pleasure's fountain Or who tread the sylvan den, Have you found in anclent land Or on any coral strand Bliss that equals that you knew In the boyhood’s days, too few?

Behind is coastline, grim and stark, The dangers that a sailor braves Who in some fair, sequestered vale Has harbor where the river laves! Ah! In that sweet and fragrant vale, That fair, sequestered, hallowed spot, A refuge from the storm-swept sea, There stands secure my lowly cot! And as the colors gild‘the sky And on the sunset vapors cling; I haste toward the harbor land— The harbor land where Love is King! Upon the weary seas of life Where tempests rage and breakers beat, I go through all: the danger lure To this, my haven and retreat! Ah, here no wave can search me out, No beetling rock can pierce the foam, For there is harbor, safe, secure— The harbor of my Love—and Home!

L, Ives, , Saturday evening (night), March | 20 fs set for the final Spelling Con- teat at Butler. The township chatr- | men and teachers should now make definite arrangements for the town- | ship contests. | The following {a from Miss Laura Clapp, teacher of the Mulberry achool j{n Homer township: “Your Decem- ' ber Bulletin {s recelved and carefully | read, With reference to the ten ques- |tlons, I can safely say that I can answer nearly all of them in the | affirmative. Our atteudance {sgood | and the pupils are progressing nicely. We are working hard on the Spelling | Contest.” | Much interest is being manifested |in the Spelling Contest. Teachers {and pupile are at work in earnest. Mr. J.N. Hunt, the author of the | Spelling book to be used in the con- test, has offered a fourth prize, a | handsomely bound volume of Web ster’s Collegiate Dictionary. This | prize does not in any way disturb, the other three prizes. There will | now be four winners in the final con- | test Instead of three, the foursh win ner recelving the dictionary. | Refering to the December Bulietin sent out from the county superinten- dent’s office, John R. Kirk, President of the Kirksville State Normal! School writes: “I should like so tel! your school boards how seusibie she | ‘suggestions are, especially as to ,school buildings and grounds. And_| then the suggestions as to school government. I should Iike to plead | \with your teachers to take those suggestions to heart. Civilization | means quietude while we work, and | much shouting and romping out uf | doors while we play. And the ten | questions. Each teacher ought to | write a 10-page essay on those ques- | tlone.”” | Mr. E. F. Carpenter, teaching the Haynes school in Hudson township sends some of his pupils’ arithmetic papers for inspection and then suys: | “Our elghth grade had a box supper; recently and made enough money to |buy an International Dictionary | and stand and some maps.” So the Haynes district is waking | ap, too. Now, ifthe people will re- | patr and paint the old school house and furnish a good blackboard and |library and some other apparatus, |then the teacher will be able to do really efficient work, and the chil- dren will. find their school work a pleasure instead of a drudge. | Thecounty Superintendent has re- jeelved from the Missouri Library 'Commiasion a professional library |for teachers, consleting of 33 vol- jumes, These books contain some gf | the best thought of the world con- jcerning the teacher and his work. |The brary will be kept {n the super- | intendent’s office tor some time and Butler Adrian Nevada — Educationai Notes. is open so all Bates county teachers tree.
