TREES PUNTED TOO THICKLY
Mistake Made by Many People Who
Set Out the Desirable Shade far
the Summer Days.
A week ago the writer saw a street
where trees had Just been planted but
twenty-fire feet apart. There is no tree
large enough for street use that should
be planted so thickly. Could every
other one be taken out at the end of
tsn yearn from planting, no fault could
be found with the scheme.
At a score of yfears after planting,
pepper trees are close enough at «0
feet apart For the first ten years
they could well be maintained at 80
feet apart; but who will cut away the
offendlns alternates when the Ume la
ripe? Unfortunately, all are left, to
form a solid wall of green on each
side of the street so that no glimpse
of anything may be seen outside this
narrow and uninteresting channel
tubbed, usually, "a beautiful avenue of
Hring green," a serious misnomer.
Bach tree should be silhouetted
against the sky so that its Individual-
ity may be seen. Its beauty of outline,
grace of carriage, form and color of
foliage and flower, and also that a
clear view may be had of both the
near and the distant landscape. Let
In the glorious sunshine and air; also
let them out, and have landscape
views as free. Neither fence In any-
thing 'or fence out anything. The
trees may with propriety be made to
appropriate their Just share of the ter-
ritory and the view, but no more.
There should be other rights and
other places for other objects.—L«s

A Problem of the Life to Come.
Small Johnny was wriggling and

After several futile attempts he called

) Laughter
Laughter begins either with the
mouth or the eyes. Then come the
otlier muscular groups and then come
the vocal expressions of laughter, such
as brays, cackles, sniggers, simpers,
giggles, snorts, grunts, fog-horn rum-
bles, yells shrieks, guffaws, trills,
chuckles, sniffles and all sorts of pe-
culiar bird notes and musical sounds.
Spreading the Scriptures.
It Is estimated that the Bible, or
eome part of it, has been published
In 600 distinct forms of human
speech. Since its foundation in 1804
the British and Foreign Bible society
has issued over 263,000,000 copies of
the Scriptures, of whic more than
S8.000.e00 have been In English.

These Ten Commandments for the
spring clean-up are Just as good In
this town as they were In Winfleld,
g«w, where the Courier printed them:
Thou shalt honor thy neighborhood
and keep It clean.
Remember thy cleaning day and
keep it wholly.
Thou shalt take care of thy rubbish
heap else thy neighbor wiU bear wit-
ness against .thee.
Thou shalt keep in ordey, thy alley,
thy back yard, thy hall and thy stair-
WThou shalt not let the wicked fly
breed on thy premises.
Thou shalt not kill thy neighbor by
ignoring fire menaces or by poisoning
the air with foul odors.
Thou shalt not keep thy windows
elosed day and night. «
Thou shalt support the city, county
and state health officers In their work
and obey their Instructions.
Thou shalt eat less, breathe deeper,
rise earlier and bathe oftener.
These things do that thy days may
bo long and healthy upon the earth.
Setting Out Trees and Shrubs.
Now Is the time to set out trees and
shrubs. In setting any plant of thlt
kind in a new location It Is necessary
for the hole to be large enough to
allbw the roots to be spread out Ths
soil should be worked around the roots,
as every space under them will mean
Just that amount of Idle root Too
many empty spaces under the roots
mean a dead tree or shrub. When the
earth is filled in it should be tramped
In aa firmly as possible. It is some
times desirable to wet down the soil
to make it pack more firmly. The soil
particles must be forced against ths
roots to enable the soil water to be
carried to them through the action ol
capillary attraction. Many of the fail-
ures in transplanting corfie from per-
mitting the soU to lie too lightly ovei
the roots.

BI6 INCREASE OF
FARMPROOUGIS
Province of Alberta Shows In-
crease of Over 20 Millions.
Plgurea Just compiled by the public-
Ity branch of the provincial depart-
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite a third of the pro-
vince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced In the province showed an In-
crease of over twenty million dollars
ever that of the previous year. Al-
though southern Alberta had a had
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
proaperity, due principally to mixed
terming, which is becoming more gen*
sral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farmtng, in fact,
waa never better illustrated than last
year aa the vglue of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking Into consideration the
value of the better, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,882 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 84,897,117 bushels, or 80.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of 60c
per bushel, these yielded a revenue of
$17,198,558. Comparatively little win-
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short of one million bush-
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,088 bushels, the
yield per acre being 15.20. At an aver-
age of $1.26 per bushel, the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,387,812. The total production of
barley was 7,847,040 bushels, which, at
65c per bushel, yielded a revenue of
$4,216,202.
Other productions were ss follows:
Flax, 207,115 bushels, $310,672 00; rye,
201,848 bushels, $196,392.00; spelts, 42,-
707 bushels, $32,080.00; hay, 200,000
tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four million
bushels, $8,000,000; turnips, three mil-
lion bushels. $750,000; carrots, 360,000
bushels, $180,000; mangolds, 640,000
bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered
and eold, $20,000,000; butter and
cheese, $1,600,000; milk, $3,000,000;
wool clip, 1,800,000 pounds, $100,000;
fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600,*
000; horticultural products, $150,000;
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod-
ucts Is given as $78,616,601, as com'
pared with $58,098,084 in IMS.
The statistics slso show that the
▼alue of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,.
660, this being an Increase of $7,762,-
645 over the previous year. There
were 009.125 horses, 760,7$0 swine,
601,188 sheep, 192.905 dsiry cows, 166,-
065 other cows, 100,928 beef cattle and

School Children Maks Bird Housss.
The boys and girls of the Columbus
public school, under the direction of
one of the teachers, are making bird
houses. They have already made
twenty, of sixes ranging from one to
nine rooms. These are intended for
the martins, especially, since they con-
sume such numbers of destructive in-
sects. The old idea that the only use
a boy has for a bird is as a target for
•tones and alrgun is surely dying out
In progressive communities. Intelli-
tent people, old and young, recognise
birds as invaluable friends to the
farmer, the fruit grower and the gar.
dener and protect them as such. We
are glad to note that seversl Brook-
rille boys are providing bouses for
wrens and bluebirds and are thus do-
ing their part In this good work.—

FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fst on ths
infsnt'e Milk Dlst—Child
1a Desd.
The elghteen-months-oTd child of
Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead,
following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons bad de-
clared to be impossible, says a Goshen
(Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
While visiting her parents in Syra-
cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sickly and loat flesh.
Treatment for indigestion waa given,
but ft did not reach the seat of the
trouble. Then an X-ray examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted in a frog
welghiag more than half a pound be-
ing taken from the infant.
Doctors .who operated said they be-
lieved that when the child drank hy-
drant water in Syracuse a tadpole was
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient in large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and com-
plete recovery was practically assured,
when pneumonia developed, causing
death.
Candy Believes Fatigue.
The value of candy is recognized by
military authorities. The British sol-
diers In France are reported as con-
suming "prodigious quantities of
sweets." A captain at the front with
the British army reports that the can-
teen has "five times the demand for
sweets that was expected, and one-
flfth the demand for beer." The Aus-
tralians encamped In Egypt have eaten
all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar baa
much food value and is a good sub-
stitute for alcohol. Chocolate, for ex-
ample, Is harmlessly stimulating. Sol-
diers have discovered what scientists
knew before, .that sugar will relieve
fatigue quickly and give a sense of
strength that Is real without the sub-
sequent depression experienced by
those who use spirits. Sugar and can-
dies are found to be useful not only
to the physically tired, but to those
who suffer mental exhaustion.—West-
