Methods of Planting on Easily -Worked Soils -%Then and How to ''Ileel In." In planting trees in a forest planta- tion, three things absolutely necessary to attend to are : '1) Keep the roots of the trees moist, (2) spread the note well when placing the trees in the ground, (3) tramp tho earth fir•nrly around the roots. In order to keep the roots of the trees from drying, they are carried in baskets and covered over with wet moss; or they can be carried in pails, partly filled with venter, or, better still, with very thln mud. 1f the trees arrive at a time when they cannot bo planted immediately, they should be "heeled in." For ells purpose select a shaded slot which the sun and the wind cannot get at, and here dig a V-shaped trench, with the sides sloping FiGHT AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA. United States Sailors Attacked by Chilian Police. A despatch from Santiago do Cuba says : A conflict between police and sailors of the United States cruiser Taco- ma tool( place here after an orderly ban- quet, which was given at the Cafe Loon de Oro by a number of first-class seamen of the cruiser. The sailor's say they were returning to their ship in a reasonably sober condition, when they were sudden- ly attacked by the police with revolvers and machetes. A tierce fight ensued, with the result that henry L.

The see clings will keep all right in this condition for two weeks or more; but ft Ls not wise to keep them thus for a longer time, on acocunt of the danger of injury to the roots when they are finally moved. If the ground Is soft and easily worked, the planting may be c'eerre with a spade. A spadeful of earth is taken out, and in the hole thus made a tree taken from the basket or pail is placed. The roots of this tree should be well spread out. :Shen the earth is put back and well --t PROVINCIAL REVENUES. REVENUES. Large Amounts in Succession Duties and Company Fees.

The increase.' was due largely to the increased number of companies obtaining incorporation and the fees re- ceived from them. -- 4, than it vas in the nursery bed, in order to allow for heaving of the soil by frost, etc. Some prefer to plough furrows as far apart as the rows of trees ore intended t stand. 'I't,en the planters go along the furrows and at the required dis- tances put dowel the tree, hold It in posi- tion and throw soma loose earth about the roots, then tramp this earth down thoroughly, and then on to the next tree. The earth may be thrown back into place by another furrow ploughed along- side the first one. The rate of planting will vary a great deal. In easily worked soil six men ought, after seine practice, to be able to plant about five the►usand trees per day. It is best to have some men do the actual planting while others carry trees to them. 0110 rein or boy can often carry hoes to supply two men planting.
