A despatch from St. Petersburg say:

been coming to see Sister subowna of

that there was enough dyrnunite iu the

PROVINCIAL REVENUES.
Large .lnwunts in Succession Duties and
Company Fees.
A despatch from Toronto says: The
gross amount of succession dillies re-
ceived by the Provincial Treasury dur-
ing the InunHt of April was 8308,381.
(•t Uds $150,000 was a deposit pending
fimnl adjustment with the estate of the
talc Senator Fulford, which had prcvi•
rusty paid $100,000. The papers rela-
tive to the estate of 11►e late Hon. A.
G. Blair have arrived, but the amount
of succession duties receivable has not
yet been made out. 1'{te approximate
nel value of the estate Ls $192.000, one-
third of peach goes to the widow, and
the balance is to be equally divided be-
tween the seven children.
The receipts of the Provincial Seore-
tary's office for the four months ending
Tme.sday totalled • 133.257.28, compared
with 870.6e5.55 for the corresponding
period of H105. or an increase of $62.-
57L63. The increase WaS due largely

with the result That Henry L. Lee, a

Threats to Destroy C. P. R. Property
at Fort William.
A despatch from Fort \Villiaut says:
It is probable that a strike may happen
at the local elevators unless the men
eulllloyed receive considerable advance
in wages. The company have already
advanced the pay of the shovellers from
20 cents Io 22e, cents per hour, and 28g
cents for overtime, but it is understood
That the Well are not satisfied. 1f the
sten strike, a serious Wow will be given
19 western grain. Several hundred
gain loads of wheat are on their way
to the lakes, whilst many are already
awaiting unloading. A big flirt of boats
is on its way for cargoes of wheat, and
unless these can be handled much delay
will ensue.

FOREST PL.t\TI\G.
Melhods of Planting on Easily -Worked
Sults--then and Ilow to -Heel 11)."
In planting trees in a forest planta-
tion. three things absolutely necessary
to attend to are: (1) Keep the roots o
the trees moist, (2) spread tho roots well
when placing the trees in the ground,
;31
trump the earth firmly around lite
roots. In order to keep Il1e roots of the
trees from drying, they are carried in
baskoLs and covered over with wet moss;
of they can be carried in pails, pertly
filled with water, or, better still, will
very thin mud.
1f the trees arrive at a time when they
cannot be planted inunodiately, they
should be "heeled in." For ..cis purpose
select a shat'ed spot which the sun and
the wind cannot get al, and here dig a
V-shaped french, with the sides sloping
a! quite an angle. Now take a pail or
other vessel and in it put water and
earth, so as to forst a thin mud; or,
simply dig a holo in the giv,und and pour
some water in it. Take the seedlings and
dip therm in this Thin mud. then place
them in the trench.. rowding them pretty
closely (but not too close), throw the
earth back over the seedlings and tramp
it down thoroughly; then put down
another row of seedlings. and so on.
Tho seedlings will keep all right in this
condition for weeks Iwo t more; but
Iwo \ or mo ra
it Ls not wise to keep them thus for a
longer time, on acocunt of the danger of
injury to the roots when they ure finally
moved.
If the ground is soft and easily worked,
the planting may be ('one with n spade.
.x spadeful of earth is taken out, and in
the hole Thus made a Tree lateen from the
basket or pail is placed. The roots of
this Tree should be well spread out.
Then the earth is put tack and well
tramped down. The tree should los
placed in the earth nhoul 1111 inch deeper
than it was in the nursery sed, in order
to allow for heaving of the soil by
frost, etc.
Some prefer to plough ftrrutts.as far
apart as the rows of trees are intended
t n stand. Then the planters go along
the furrows and at the required dis-
tances put down the tree, hold it in posi-
tion and throw seine loose earth about
the roots, then tramp this earth down
thoroughly, and teen on to the next tree.
The earth may be thrown hack into
place by another furrow ploughed along-
side the first one.
The rate of planting will vary n great
deaf. in easily worked soil six n1ert-
ought, after :some practice, to be able to
plant about live thousand trees per day.
II is best to have some men do the actual
Willing while others carry trees to
then. One man or boy can 4)11011 carry
trees In supply Iwo men planting.
The number of plant; per acre will
depend 011 the spacing. Planting four
feet by tour feet, 2,725 trees will bo
neceesnry ; for planting live feet by live
feet. 1,750 trees. and for planting six
feet by six feel, 1.210 trees.
