HARVESTING MACHINERY FROM THl
WORLDS FAIR CITY.

CHICAGO, April 10Th, 1890 Speolal)
A monster freight train by two en-
gines left this city to-day for Minneapo-
is. The entire train was loaded with
Deering Irvine Binders and DeerinS
Mowers, from the works of VIM. Deer
ing n Co., this city, said to be the larc-
est manufacturers of harvesting machin-
cry in the world. The train was highly
decorated and a brass band in uniform
accompanied it. On one ear binder
and mower were shown set up ready for
work. Dispatches from points passed
oday show that enthusia. tie crowds
greeted the train at all stations. and the
trip 50 far is one grand triumphal pro-
cession. It is not unusual for this firm
to send solid train loads Of machinery
all over the country, but this train at
tracts especial attention.

10 RLANrlnc OF Aaaoa n.x.


Sec. 1, Chap. Az, laws Of 1889, is a
follows: THE governor is hereby al,
thorized to set apart by procla matior
one day in each year, to be obserV ed a
tree planting or arbor day. requesting
all public schools and colleges to Oh
serve the same by suitable exercises
having for their object the imparting Of
Knowledge OF horticulture, in the de
partment known as arboriculture. and
the adornment of school and public
grounds"
1t IS not intended that this day ike
the usual legal holidays, shall be chiefly
observed by closing schools. locking
school house doors, and teachers en-
ploying their time as best suits their
individual dispositions, but it is rather
day Of special instruction and should
be prepared for by more or less drill on
the part of the pupils and teachers, in
essays. declarations, orations, dialogues.
class drills, &C.. &c, suited to the spirit
of the law. Meth er is this holiday dis
tinctly confined to the pupils and teach
ers for it is eminently fitting and proper
tLat the fathers and mothers also take
active part in the exercises. No harm
can come if it is made a general picnic
day for each district throughout the
state and the school ground be made the
place of meeting. 1t is more than prob
able that if the parents of the school
children spend one day on the school
premises, there will be a general over
hauling of school matters and a conse-
quent improvement in various particu
lars. April the 80 is the day set apart
by the governor for Arbor Day this year.
Trees should be planted in grounds not
already so ornamented and if there is
occasion for vines of any kind they may
also receive attention. No good reasons
can be given accounting for the large
number of desolate, uncared for school
premises, such as may be found almost
everywhere, the we'll kept ones being
notable exceptions. School houses and
grounds should be as attractive at least
as the homes and grounds of enterpris-
ing citizens usually are. Trees of all
kinds are cheap and easily obtained.
Elm, ash, hard and soft NAPLES, bass
wood. butternut and walnut trees can
be had for the trouble of digging and
carrying them from almost any stretch
Of timber, and If properly supported and
cared for will in a few years add much
to the general appearance and comfort
Of any school grounds in which they are
planted. 1t is not at all necessary that
the planting of trees and vines be put
of until April so They may be plant
ell at any time, the sooner the better,
tut the exercises suited to the occasion
should not take place until the date set
by the governor respectfully.
