TREE ROOTS. 4 North Dakota Agricultural 4* College. One of the most vital parts of a tree Is its roots. It is not known where the roots do their feeding. In M#. K, which is a photograph of a tree which Is being dug preparatory •e moving, the roots are seen spread tM la all dlrectloas and quite near fee surface. That the tree needs moisture goes without saying. How is the tree with Mi roots just below the graes roots to AM its moisture where the rainfall is wteulj Incboe or less? The grass •pole helng nearest the surface get (feo first chance at the moisture and ^e tree suffers this explains why there are no trees on the prairie Where tho rainfall is less than twen ty Inoheo. Trees oan, however, be made to grow, and grow fast in this •eotton, by cultivating the soil over the roots so that the tree gets all the moisture that falls. The cultivation •lust extend out quite a ways as the foots extend out farther than the tranches. Mulching with straw can be used In stead of the cultivation. Use clean Bkraw. Manure is apt to stimulate late growth, which keeps the tree from properly ripening up its now wood In the fall. Weeds will also •tart quicker in the manure. The illustration—study it. The roots have been uncovered to quite a dts taaee yet less than half their length kas been dug out. The feeding roots MM the tiny new root fibers and not fee big roots, which means that most 41 the feeding of a tree takes place at the end of the roots. The secret of tree growing on the yvairie is giving Uae tree all the mois ture that fall* over its roots and the to 4o It is to keep grass and weeds from growing over the tree •oets, which can be done by culttvat kg or mulching. NEBRASKA GATE ON WHEKLS. Prise Device). Mr. Editor: I have a Tory useful flkrm gate which differs from the ordi aary gate in that there is a buggy wheel attached, on which the end of the gate rests. This wheel makes the tueh easier to open and close. A Fine for a heavy gate. Single bar or latoh can be run through feo epokes of the wheel, from the end of the gate to the end post of the i, to hold the gate shut—Helmer It Hegbarg, in Nebraska Farm Jour- Ratlen Per drawing Plge. A good ration might bo made by aging two parts by weight ot oorn aad «ae part eaeh of ground rye, jrmfi «ate aad oilmeal. For little pigs tho itifs should bo ground fine enough so that the hull Is reduced to meal If this cannot bo done It would be better to sift the hulls out for a time after woanlag. All of tho ground feeds would bo bettor If they could be ground fine. Tho pigs should not be fed as muoh of this 'mixture as they will eat, but should be fed. rather limited tuantltles up to five or six months of age. After six months of age, if the pigs are to be fed for mar ket, tho oilmeal might be omitted. The Prefitsble Dairy Cew. Don't allow that old reprobate of a sow to fool you by giving a profuse How of milk for five or six months, then going dry. It's the cow that gives a reasonable amount of milk from MTon to nine months in the year feat you oan safely bank on as a member of your dairy herd.

Plat A of the wheat shows great deficiency in moisture, compared with Plat A of the corn, and this deficiency increased with the depth, until at the tenth foot the corn plat contains 9 per cent more moisture than the wheat plat. The chart plainly shows that the growing of corn every year has allowed the water to penetrate to a depth of ten feet, and, judging from the appearance of the curve, at least five feet more. In the case of the wheat plait, no moisture has been lost by percolation beyond the reach of the roots, while in the corn plat, water has been lost in this manner how' much, cannot be told. The amount of water used by the corn crops for the four years of growth, plus the amount found in the soil indicated by the chart, equals Depth 123456789 10 FIG. 3—Shows relative per cents of moisture for each foot to a depth of ten feet as determined in the fall of 1910 upon Plats A, continuous crop, spring plowing, for the two crops, wheat and corn. about forty-one inches. The amount used by the growing wheat crops grown upon the plats, plus that found in the soil shown on the chart, amounts to forty^ix inches. As the rainfall since the land was broken amounts to about eighty inches, it if seen that the loss of water amounts to from 55 to 60 per cent. The loss has been greater in the case of the corn plats than in the wheat plate. The extra loss incurred in the eora plat is evidently duo to the sinking of the waters to a depth greater than ton feet. The loss of some forty-four inches of water from the wheat plat may be accounted for by the natural run-off, by evaporation at other times than during the growing season, by drifting snow that did not find lodff n&ent upen the plat, by light showem that evaporated without having pro duced effect upon growth, and by other possible causes. LOCATION OF THE ORCHARD •election of Site a Most Important Matter. Since the atmospheric condition* are largely influenced by the contour of a country, tjie selection eC a site Is an important matter. In level Stretches like the Red River valley, there is little opportunity for choioe, but la rolling sections one may dis criminate. By observing the spots that the native trees and shrubbery select, one may come to a very eaay and correct solution of this point. Even In the arid portion of the state thrifty shrubs will be found growing toward the bottom of the north side of the hills and buttes. It is not weU to plant too lew down on the hill sides for the cold air settles there, ln ereaeing the danger from late froets. Too near the top of the slope the soil Je often dry and thin and the expo sure needlessly great. A little Intelligent study of the land will enable one to seleot a site having some protection, good atmosphere drainage and the proper soil. South slopes are too dry, the MM is too hot there and the drying process altogether too active. They should ho avoided. vi" .r i, .-JH. r'I -.sit ... ,f. ..' .v. -N4'" va-P MS ATTORNEYS 6reinleaf, Bradford & Nash Attorneys at Law John Khr block Minot North Dakota F. B. LAMBERT Lawyer.
