MODE OF NOURESEEING STREET
TREES I'm PARIS.

The RurdI Neoo Yorker has the fol
lowing paragraph:
CAN the boulevartls of Paris are planted
with trees, many of which were, no v
ever, destroyed during the revolution OF
1913. New trees were, therefore, plant
| ed, and their growth fnsterId with an
amount of sl1illful attention that has pro-
| duced Astonishing results, when the natu
raj disadvantages are taken into consider
alton. The trees are planted in loan that
| has been previously mixed with sand and
transported to the city. This is con-
! tanned in large receptacles, lined with
| brick, sunk below the surface of the foot
| way, and coated over with cement, so as
to render them impervious. They form,
In fact gigantic watcr-pots; and into them
are conducted the roof drains of each
house block, from which the earth derives
its water supply. These basins or flower
pots! are built of capacity sufficient
to admit of considerable expansion
on the part of the roots of the trees.
An ornamental circular iron grating, set
flush with the footwsy, is placed over
these basins and around the trunks of
these trees. This admits of air for the
proper support of the roots. The roots
of the trees are thus removed from the
deleterious influences of escaping street |
gas and the poisonous emanations from
sewers, causes which are well known to |
have destroyed the vegetation in the
streets of many cities.
The want of trees in the streets and |
yards of our large cities is due mainly to |
two causes, according to the Prairie
Farmer. First, to the leakage of gas
below ground, which, occurring in the
growing season, kills all the roots with
which it comes in contact. No tree,
however hardy it may be, can Withstand
its effects. The second discouraging fea-
ture is the coal smoke or gases, set free
in burning bituminous coal. While
there are no trees which can long escape |
The gases among their roots, there are,
nevertheless, large number, among them
some of our most popular shade trees,
which will grow unframed in smoke as

innate, however, that very large pro-
portion of trees usually employed for
Ihade and ornament do not long survive
he blighting effects of coal smoke. 1t
S the more to be regretted that
his class includes all our hardy
both foreign and native,
lot one of which can stand even though
heir roots are in good soil. To the
rowded denizens of great cities it seems
0 US that this question of shade is one of
,reat practical Importance, and one too
which cannot be too soon and earnestly
onsidered. If we could wall and cement |
p the passages for gas pipes so perfectly
s to prevent the escape of gas, then the

sections of our western towns. !

There lived in one of New Englands
small villages a schoolmaster noted for
his severity. A new scholar, who had
heard of and consequently feared him,
was called to the stand one morning,
when the following dialogue ensued:
Teacher, in loud tOnes-'What is your
name?" Boy, in weak voice. Johnny
Wells, sir" Chow old are you, John
Wells?" 'Twelve years old, sir. !"
'ENow, John, tell me who made this
grand and glorious uuiverse?n 'Don't
know, sir" "What! twelve years old
and don't know who made this noble
spherel James Smith, go aud cut me a
whip" The birch is brought and held
over the trembling boy. In laundering
tones the rigid disciplinarian demanded,
Snow, tell who made this great world
we live in?n In fearful voice Johnny
answered: 81 did, sir, but 1 won't do it
again.

4 NICE little boy in Pittsburgh went to
the circus the other day, and amused HIM
self throwing stones at the elephant while
he was drinking. When he got through
the boy tried to propitiate him by offering
apiece of gingerbread. Before accepting
the cake the elephant emptied about sixty
four gallons of water, beer measure, over
the boy, and then slung him into the third
tier to dry off. The boy is very indiffer-
ent about circuses now. He says he be-
lieyes he doesn't care for them as much as
he used TO.

CALIFORNIA is largely cultivating, be-
sides the grape, oranges, lines, citrons,
figs and walnuts. In Lower California
there are now 1000 orange trees in bear
ing. They yield from 600 TO 1900
oranges to a tree, depending on its age.
About seventy trees stand on an acre,
which commence producing in eight
years from the seed. For good oranges
the price is $40 per 1000. Lemons,
lines and citrons yield crops averaged to
be worth 81, 600 an acre. 1t takes eight
years to get the trees in condition to bear,
however. English walnuts are raised in
plenty, and sell at twenty-five cents per
pound. A large tree will give 800 pounds
of nuts. The figs are plentiful, but are
not of q good quality.

About Pruning.

It is the fate of all good ideas to be
pushed to extremes. Ever since the day
when the ass broke into the Grecian vine
yard, and taught by his browsing that some
good followed summer pruning, thousands
of leaves have been stripped off and mil
lions Of vines injured by a too free use Of
the pruning knife. We have labored as
sincerely as any to show how much is lost
in this way; and have pointed out that
pruning as generally practiced, tends to
weaken vitality and pave the way for fu-
ture diseases.
But We observe that some people go to
another extreme. Prune not at all, is get
ting to be- popular but too common cry ;
little pruning, unlike little learning is
not a: all a dangerous thing.
Darwin has shown that there is among
individual plants a struggle for life always
going on. The stronger crowds out the
weaker one; but so long as it lives, the
weaker one has some effect on the stronger
one.
The same law is as true of branches as of
distinct plants; each struggles for light
The vigorous shoot shades the weaker; but
that in turn sometimes interferes with the
strong one, and prevents it from utilizing
the light to the best advantage.
Thus it will be seen, that to have the
best results, we must regulate this struggle
in nature. A dozen branches we'll devel-
oped and having the ability to display all
their leafy charms to the admiring sunlight
will be worth much more to the plant than
double the number closely interfering with
one another.
A good gardener must have foresight.
He should be able to see in imagination a
tree year ahead of its growth, and prune
in advance of the necessity Of the tree.
This will prevent much Of the temporary
injury which undoubtedly flows from Sc
we're pruning all at once; and which if au-
nually continued is great evil.-Gardcn.
