FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Feb. ii, 1911. 
Mr. Day shot at 4280 targets in Registered Tournairents, breaking 4164. an average of 97 28?, exceeding by over 2? the highest official 
amateur average of any previous year. During the season Mr. Day made many long runs, among which are the following.

PARTICULAR ATTENTION 
is directed to the fact that all of Mr. Day’s shooting was done with PETERS REGULAR FACTORY LOADS purchased from dealers where the 
various tournaments were held. His shells were not special in any sense, but were regular stock goods sue oo f/ u ut vou w jji 
PETERS dealer. YOU can get this SUPERIOR AMMUNITION as easily as ordinary loads. You may not always score 97.28? but you w 11 
average better than with any other make. 
Shoot the shells that have established another World’s Record—97.28?—the hind 
that do not have to be used in any special make of gun to give best results.

New York, Feb. 4.—The following scores were shot 
last Tuesday night in our match for the week ending 
Feb. 4, against Louisiana State University, Baton 
Rouge, La. Everyone was in poor form, owing to the 
mid-year examinations, which reign supreme in the 
collegiate world at this time. All shooting was at 50ft., 
on the N. R. A. target, the 10-ring being *4in. in diame¬ 
ter. Artificial light and military rifles are used; the 
caliber being .22.

FISH ON DECK. 
The American liner Philadelphia, which ar¬ 
rived at New York the other day, reports that 
it shipped “seven boiling crests during a storm, 
and every crest was full of fish.” The prome¬ 
nade deck was like an aquarium.—New York

REFORESTING. 
Continued from page 219. 
If any one desires to establish a nursery to 
propagate his own trees we will be glad to ad¬ 
vise him.* The growing of evergreens, espe¬ 
cially the first year, requires experience and is 
not to be generally recommended if seedlings 
can be purchased at a reasonable price. 
Planting is best done in the spring, as early 
as possible, so that the trees may secure the 
benefit of the spring rains and become well 
rooted before the season’s growth takes place. 
We will ship trees in the spring as early as pos¬ 
sible, and they ought to be planted at once. 
When the trees arrive they should be taken to 
the planting field immediately and unpacked. 
The roots should be dipped in water and the 
plants “heeled in”; i. e., placed upright in a ditch 
and the dirt packed tight around the roots. They 
can be kept in this manner while the planting 
is in progress. 
In making a hole it is well to cut off and re¬ 
move a thin slice of sod, as this gives the plant 
a better opportunity to grow. The hole should 
be large enough to give room for the roots with¬ 
out crowding, but on a light soil the least dirt 
that is moved in order to set the plants prop¬ 
erly the better it will be. The plant should 
usually be placed in the ground at the same 
depth that it was before, but on light, sandy 
soil it may be set slightly deeper. The earth 
‘Detailed information in regard to this work will be 
found in Bulletin 76, U. S. Forest Service, which can 
be secured of Superintendent of Public Documents, 
Washington, D. C., for ten cents. 
should be packed about the roots thoroughly, so 
that the plant will be able to get all the mois¬ 
ture possible from the surrounding earth. Care 
should be taken also to place the roots in their 
natural position. 
Special pains should be taken to prevent any 
exposure of the roots tO' the sun. Once they 
become dry the plants are very likely to die. 
The trees “heeled in” should be kept moist at 
roots. 
The men continue planting back and forth 
across the field until the work is completed. The 
trees should be set at regular distances apart 
and the rows also at even distances in order to 
properly utilize the soil and light and to se¬ 
cure in time the greatest product. The spacing 
varies under different conditions, but for general 
forest planting six feet apart both ways is most 
desirable. When the trees are planted six feet 
apart in the row, and the rows are made six 
feet distant, it will require 1,200 trees to plant 
an acre. 
In planting spruce special care must be taken 
to get the tree in the ground the same depth as 
it has been growing. The roots should also be 
placed in as near a normal position as possible. 
Scotch pine is not recommended for planting 
on Long Island. 
Cultivation is not necessary before planting, 
but it will improve the growth of plantation. 
It is absolutely necessary that a much larger 
number of trees be planted on an acre than would 
be found in a mature forest. A close, dense 
stand of trees is necessary while they are young 
in order to produce a proper development in the
