to work in earnest and Will. during
this year, build branch of their road
from La Cygne, kas., TO Clinton,
Mo. The shortest, most practicable
and profitable route from the latter
point to St. Louis is through this
county, via Versailles, on the survey
OF the St. Louis Emporia and Wes-
tern, thence through Miller county
near Mount Pleasant and thence cast
ward. We were informed by gen.
tleman here, this week, that the di-
rectors of the st. Louis, Emporia
and Western railroad company will,
as soon as possible, proceed with
their survey from the east line of this
county towards ST. LOUIS. Our citl-
zens did good thing who suhscrib-
ed and paid to have the survey for
this road located as it was. No mat
ter whether the road is built by the
St. L., E. q w. Company or not.
The subscription was a good thing
for our town and county; and it will
ultimately be the most potent factor
IN bringing the road, that is built,
through Versailles. That road
will be built we have said before, is
only question of few years at
most.

sHRUBERY AND SHADE TREES.
;. W. Fredrrck Before the Bates
County Horticultural Society.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: AS
the same hand that has given us
being has provided things in nature
by mans industry and economy
whereby man may not only prolong
his DAYS but make them pleasant.
Though not in the garden wherein
he was placed but in world of toll
and disappointment. '.What is this
lite without a home" and what is
home without something to make it
pleasant. and what IS more pleasant
than to have our yards and fields,
decorated with shade and ornament
al trees. While some of us make
our homes in the forrest and others
on the open prairie and for want of
thought, with many of us who build
in the tImber-chop and clear away
ever forest tree leaving only the bar
rem earth to mark the place-while
many who build on the prairie neg
lect TO plant tree of any kind, eth
er forest or ornamental. But as the
fruit growing has been properly ham
died by men whose names are en-
rolled IN this society and who prac-
tice what they preach, and as Mrs.
Henry will tell us Of the beauty of
flowers III her essay
The importance of shade trees,
should. under no circumstance be
overlooked by the farmer, and where
there is vacant spot where these
gifts of nature can be gwen a loca-
ton 1t should be done. The trees can
be used for both utility and ornamen:
around farm dwelling. and they may
be planted near the borders of cattle
yards thus affording the shade tor
domestic animals in warm weather.
In pastures trees can be set out in
groops for like purpose especially
when the fields are to remain in
grass. The cost is SO unimportant that
there IS 10 excuse for its omission by
the farmer. The prettiest country
home is the one that is almost hidden
from view by foliage. This also IS
applicable to town and village where
we have small yards and lots to
plant IN eyergreens, which are both
ornamental and healthful.
The kind to plant IS, balsam of
fur, scotch pine, norway spruce, az
bev-vita, white pine, Irish Juniper,
cedar and the saven bush. which can
be grown by striking 4 ilne in the
ground: and if properly trained will
make nice ornament for the yard.
The time to plant-As the fruit
and forest trees shed their foliage in
autumn, they should be planted IN early
spring. The evergreen is d,ffe-
rent from all others, as one
Leaf drops off another takes their
place, thus always keeping them
green. The proper time to plant is
from the first of May to the first of
June. but the most importance in
transplantlng is the taking them out
of the nursery. Be sure YOU get all
OF the roots and all the earth YOU can
get up with them. place them IN
tub or box where YOU can pack them
well with earth, plant shallow and if
your yard IS low and wet plant on
top OF the ground by hilling them
up. Place some stones or brick
around the tree as 1t is their nature
to grow III sandy and rocky soil
