Roadside Fruit Trees.

A writer in the New York Tribune,
in treating OF the utility Of planting
fruit trees by fences pays: Zone adj
vantage attending this planting is the
economy Of drawing handsome returns
from soil otherwise unproductive. as
roadways or lanes. The roots of the
trees search this through, and find album
dant available food, for no growth robs
the soil, not even grass, while 1t Is con-
tinually receiving manurial droppings.
Another very important gain results
from the safety Of the trees from
wounds. The fence shelters the stem
from sun-scald and from cattle-rub-
bling, and the roots are safe from that
ruin Of orchards, the plowshare. which
not only tears the roots while ia the
height Of Summer activity, but, what
is worse, though least seen or suspec-
ted, shears of the feeding rootlets at
the same fatal season-these innumera-
BILE points being found near the surface
whore their most wholesome food il
most abundant. Fence-row trees live
longer than trees exposed to injury In
open orchards. Trees of erect habit
should be chosen, and preferably Win
ter sorts Of color green or unattractive
before ripening in the cellar. Such
fruits. while the most valuable, do not
attract depredators, and field crops are
out of the way before the time arrives
for gathering the apples. Such rows
OF well-shaped trees embellish farm.

A gentleman who was several years
younger than his wife. and who was
besides small and rather boyish in ap-
pearance, entered dry goods store in
one Of our towns with his wife and re-
quested to be shown some carpets.
The proprietor himself, to whom Is 1t
happened they were unknown, waited
on them. He showed them very polite
ly his extensive stock OF carpets, and
exhibited with great pains their beauty
and excellence Of quality. The gentle
man and his wife seemed somewhat
undecided as to what suited them
among the various patterns displayed,
and the proprietor, with the laudable
desire Of assisting them to decide, re-
marked blandly 10 the gentleman.

The gentleman looked little sur
prised. but quietly said, "she is not my

less to add that she did not find any
carpet to suit her, and they left the

The practice grows on them continual
