MOST PERFECT MADE

There is no reason fruit trees
should not be set along the roads
in the country instead of other
shade trees. In the old countries
there are many places where the
roadsides are lined with fruit trees,
and the effect is said to be beauti-
full. Apple and cherry trees, and
some varieties of plums, make good
shade if allowed to grow as tall as
they will, and if such trees were
planted they would answer all the
purposes of other trees which do
not bear fruits. Nut-bearing trees
could be planted also, and many of
them make grand shade trees,
especially the hickory and chestnut
trees. Walnut trees do not make a
very good shade, and are open to
the objection that no field crop will
grow within the reach of the roots
of a walnut tree. This disadvan-
tage is Offset to some extent by the
fact that cattle and other stock al
ways seek the shade Of a walnut
tree, if there is one in the field they
are in. This is attributed to the
antipathy flies have for the odor of
walnut leaves.
1t may be said that fruit trees
set along the road would be robbed
by those who travelled the road to
and fro. If the planting of them
became general all over any consid-
cradle extent of country this would
not be valid objection, for the
amount of fruit taken would be but
small part of the total crop. If
but one or two farms had fruit
trees along the road, considerable
portion of the crop would no doubt
be lost to the owners of the farms,
but even in that case nothing would
be lost, for the trees would ill the
purpose of any shade tree, and even
if all the fruit were lost the owner
would be Just as we'll off as he
would have been if he had set out
naples or elms, and the general
public would be no worse off. The
strength of the argument is, it
seems to me, in favor of the fruit
trees.--Farm News.

A May-Day Picnic.

The children of the Colfax High School
held their picnic at Rocky Ford on
Thursday last, as was duly announced,
and under the supervision of Prof o. N.
Watts and Miss Maggie Kelly it proved
to be successful and enjoyable affair.
The children had been drilled to plat the
May pole with precision, and their songs
and maneuvers in carrying out this part
OF the programme were entertaining and
added very much to the pleasure OF the
day. Fully $50 persons attended, and
the fore-thought of the ladies in provid-
ing an abundance of good things for the
picnic dinner made the occasion one of
great enjoyment for all.
Only one accident occurred to mar the
pleasure OF the day, and it came very
near being fatality. Miss Alva Brashear.
of Alexandria, while swinging by grape
vine over bluff at the side of the bayou
lost her hold on the vine and fell to the
ground more than twenty feet below.
She was knocked senseless by the fall,
and for some time it was thought she had
received serious internal injuries. She
has been confined to her bed and unable
to walk since her fall, but it is on &C.
count of the soreness from the bruises on
her shoulders and body, and not from
any real serious hurt.
