The Purchase 1f Fruit Tree*. ’1
The Ohio Experiment Station ia
often appealed to regarding* the best •
place to buy trees. ,Such queries can j
seldom be answered specifically ex- :
} cept in the case of certain varieties, i
not to be found in all nurseries.
As a rule, it is best to purchase ;
trees direct from established nurseries,
near home; but in exceptional casfe
j it is safe to buy through agents, and
also to ^end orders to distant nurser-
ies. To give an order to aa agent of j
a reliable nursery is as safe as to deal
direct, but one needs to be sure that
the party who claims to represent the
nursery is an agent, and not a mere
1 dealer, who buys where he pleases and
j sells at whatever price he can get.
Dealers are seldom responsible and do
not hesitate to make any promise to
J refill the older free of charge in.case
of loss in transplanting, nor to make
any . claim as to genuineness and su-
periority, in order to effect sales. *
Honest men find it hard to compete
with tbe rogues in this branch of the }
business, while the temptations to de- j
celt are so great and the restrictions
are so few that reliable tree dealers
are rare, hence this class is to be
avoided. If a salesman claims to be
an agent he should be able to show |
papers to that effect, and the financial
standing of the firm can be learned at
the bank.
Financial standing is not a proof of
honesty, but it is more or less depend-
ent upon business integrity. At any
rate one need not be in a hurry to or-
der trees and can easily ascertain the
business standing of any firm, espe-
cially the one near home. Agents very
a„ often exceed the authority given them

Keep Warm by Breathtnjf-
The simplest way to get warm after
exposure to cold, says AH Heih is to
take a long breath with the mouth
firmly *hut. Repeat this several times
qntll you begin to feel the heat return-
ing. ; It requires a very short time to
do this. The long breath quickens the
pulse and thus causes the blood to cir-
culate faster. The blood flows into all
parts of the veins and- arteries and
glvea out a great deal of heat. It is
stated that this method of deep breath-
ing prevents colds and a great many
other ailments if begun in time.

The nurseryman often takes this lib-

Cotton Company, owners of the Round-

cused of attempting to gain a monopoly,
ot using “-trust” methods, but gradually
tbe facts are gaining headway that the

Then, again, objection is made to the

he made of thick lumber, three feet
wide, of any desired length,v with a
slope of at least eight inches from the
back to the. front so as to shed the
rain, but the slope should be so ar-
ranged as to allow as much sunshine
as possible. If‘the frame is thirty
inches deep, at least twenty inches
•' should be in theiground and the earth
banked up as close to the edge as
possible. Fill in with fresh horse ma-
nure, well trampled, until a foot thick,
and then cover the manure with four
inches of rich soil, wetting the whole
with urine. In a short time the ma-
nure will begin to heat, when two
Inches more of soil may be added. If
the heat becomes too great, it may be
reduced with cold water. There are
j. many modes 'of making the hot bed,
however, and of securing th# heat,
much depending on the kind of ma-
nure, Should the heat be slow, add a
little air slacked lime to the manure.

Hot Beds —The bot bed should be
made in February or March or its use-
fulness* will be lessened; The object
of a hot bed is to secure growth of
tender plants in winter in order that
they may be transplanted during mild
winter weather, thus avoiding the lo6B
of time required for germination and
for procuring an early supply of the
: desired crop before the main or tlater
krop^are ready. Unless the hot beds
are properly managed, however, no
advantage will be derived from them,
as plants may be forced with warmth
and rich soil so as to make but little
progress when transplanted in the open
air.- Ex.
