Our Shade Trees.
EDITOR STANDARD:

EDITOR STANDARD:
Every once in while somebody
through the medium of the city papers
urges the people to plant shade
trees to adorn and bcautily the streets,
and great indeed would he the i'm
provement, especially in the suburbs, ii
every one would plant shade or orna-
mental trees along the front OF their
otherwise pretty homes. This is an
order-loving people; yes, and beauty
loving people, and still the question is,
why don't people do more to make
attractive their particular streets?
Let each one do little and astonish-
ing will he the result as a whole.
Well, Mr.. Editor, and all interested
people, l beg leave to tell you the ex-
perience of one orderly and beauty
loving person in regard to planting
shade trees, where everybody's COWS
are permitted to promenade oul
streets, early and late, and all the
time if they want to. Three years
ago, l planted with great care foul
beautiful shade trees in front OF oul
two small lots. The neighbors said
was planting them too close. They
need not have been concerned about
it, for the slender trees inclosed in up
right boxes did not stay planted wortl
cent. Every one of our neighbor:
kept a COW. and in a very few day:
every one of those COWS had taken :
taste of our trees, box and all, and in :
month they were not (the trees,
mean). Not being easily discouraged
l tried again next year, planting or
namental trees to beautify our part o
the street, and enclosed them Thu
time in sort of cage, made as strong
as tough fir lumber and nails coult
make it, and looking something lik,
an awfully tall hen-coop, and ever,
one of those neighborly cows and som,
that came from distance, took turns
at sharpening their horns with grea
energy on our hen-coops. l SHOULD
say tree protectors, well after making
ourselves quite ridiculous all summe
chasing cattle, We gave up in despair
and let them take our cherished trees
which they did, root branch and pro
tecting cage.
Still the question remains, VIII,
don't We plant shade trees? A neigh
Dor has lived here sixteen years
planted fifteen shade trees, and to da.
just one tree is left to show for all tina
pains-taking effort and expense. Thi
solitary tree is protected by an un
slightly rail pen. Shall we protect ou
shade trees with rail pens that obstruc
the sidewalk and intrude into thu
street, or will the city fathers kind,
permit the cows to daily-yes ant
nightly-exercise in the public square
until our ornamental trees have :
chance to get rooted III. l.. |.
