What Limits the Heght ! of Trees.
WJlllo the youn ! ; trees are mnkmg
clean trunks do mpltlly during the
( lo'rlod of greatest yel1rly heIght growth I
they are , also. makIng . . .thelr Jfcatost.
annual gains in dlnmeter , for these
two Corms of growlh generally culm I. I
nnto about the BamO time , oays Glf.
tord Plnchot In n report on Corest
lrees. A lIlUo later , If there Is any
dlerence ( , the younJ ; forest's highest
yearly rate of growth In volume Is
also roachcxl. For n time these three
kinds of growlh lcoep on at the Bnmo
rate as In the past , but aCterwards all
three heJln to decrease. Growth In
dIameter , nnll In volume also , It the
trees nro sound , gooa oh unUl ex.
tremo old ago , but height growlh sinks
very low whllo the two others are
stili strong. For many y nrs before
this happens the slruggle between the
trees has not been so deallly , because
Uley have been almost wIthout the
means of overtopplnJ ; ono anot'her.
When the end of the perIod of principal -
pal height Jrowlh Is re ched the trees
are InterferlnJ ; with each other very
little , and the struggle tor lIfo begins
again In a different wny. As tbo
prIncipal heIght Jrowth ceascs , nnd
the tops no 10nJor shoot up rapidly
above the side branches , the crown ;
lese lhelr polnled shape and become
comparatively Onto 'fhe chief reason
why trees stop growing In height I !
that they nre not able to l"eep the
upper parts oC tholr crowns properly
supplied with water above a certahi
/dlstanco from the ground. Tbls , dls
"tance varIes In different dnds of trees ,
and with the health and vigor ot thf.
tree In each species , but there Is II
limit In every caBe above which tht
water docs not rench. The power 01
the pumping machinery , mal'O than
any olher quality , determines thE
heIght oC the tree.
Shallow Cultivation.
In all work in the Jardon It Is bet.
ter to give shallow cultivation than
Ileep cultIvation after the roots of thE
plnnts have extended Into the bare
s a cs b tween the rows. DeCoro that
time the cumntlon may be deep , nd
should be deep to Jet the soil thoI'
ouhly loosened up , so thnt the rootl :
of the plant3 , as soon as they reacH
out Into this fresh soli , will bo nbl < ;
to strlko deep and remain below the
IIno of the shallow cultivation that
Is to follow. If the ground is not
stirrell to a good depth at first thE ;
roots wIU extend along the surface 0' '
the ground and will be conotanUy In'
terfered with by the cultivator , nc
matter how shallow it may be run
With the proper preparation of thE
grounll , and wIth this deep cultivation
at first , the latter cultivations , thougb
shallow , wIU be .found to bo very ben ,
eficlal. They will not breale of [ thE !
enlls oC the roots , but will leeep the
soil well aerated and thus help to
loosen up the plant food and place It
In a usnble condition. ThIs aeration
of the solt Is of far greater Import.
auco than most ot our Carmers have
sllspected. It is far better to cultl.
vate often than alter long lapses oC
U'me , as In the latter case the STound
becomes h rd , capillary tubes are
formell , and soU moisture Is wasted ,
Thc Universal Fruit.
The strawberry Is coming to be con'

that there are places on the Jlobe
where It will not grow. However , It
has a. wider range of habltaUon than
any other fruit Imown to AmerIcans.
not excepting the apple. From thE
Gulf to nrlUeh' America it Is grown
abuudauUy. It Is easy to propagate ,
eas ) ' to protect from the cold of win.

"As soon as n. fellow "ells two or ,
three things to U10 magazines , " says
Jack London , "hIs friends all ask him
how ho managed to do It , " and then
he goes on , in hIs own racy way. to
tell how It happonell to 111m.
Ho had many liabilities nnd no assets -
sets , no IDcome nnd several months
to teed. Ho llved In CaUtornln , tar
Crom the great publishing centerl1 ,
and dId not Imow what an editor

thousanct words was ptl.ld , and Ogured
on earning $600 a month , wIthout
overstocltlng the market.
One morning the postman brought
him , Instead oC the usual long , thlclc _
manuscrIpt envelope , a short , thin
ono. He coullln't open It right n.way.
It seemed a sacred thing. It coa.
talned the wrItten words ot an editor
oC a big magazine. When , moll est ! \II
ever , he hnll fIgurell In his mInd what
the ofter for this 4000.word story
would be at the mInImum rate-UO ,

Jack London , and had the paUenco to

Introduction and dIscover the colclen ,

Hero Is the Incident that proved
the turnlnJ ; point In Jack London'o i
literary career , as l.1e so graphically
tells It :
"NothlnJ ; remained but to Jct out
and shovel coal. I had done It be.
tore , and earned morO money at. It. "
I resolved to do it again , and leer- ' 11\ \
talnly should have done It , had it not
been tor The Black Cnt.
"Yea , The 'Black Cat. The postman -
man brought me an offer from It Cor
& 4000-word story which wus more
lengthy than strengthy , it I woulel
grant permIssIon to cut It down half. "
Grant permission ? I told them they
could cut It down two-halves If they'd
only send the money along , Vfhlch
they did , by return maU. As for the I
$5 previously montloned , I finally 1'0'
celvell It , after publication and n great
denl of embarrassment and trouble. "
Anll the rate he received for his first
Black Cat slory was nearly 20 times
what the fho-dollar edItor palll !
Nor Is Jack London the only writer
who has becn lICted from obscurity to
promlnenco by the lucltY Blaclt Cat , ,
whlcb , as the New Yorlc Press has I
truly saId , has done more for short-
story writers and short-slory readers
than any other publlc tlon.
Ea'ch of Its famous prlzo compeU-
