TREE PLANTING.

The suggestion which has been made
in Talbot county to plant trees along
the public roads is an admirable one.
The two trees that have been named,
the walnut and chestnut, are well Sc
lected. Both are beautiful shade trees
and both are valuable for their timber.
There is good market for walnut for
joiners' work and furniture, and as
fencing material chestnut has no equal.
Another advantage Of the chestnut is
its rapid growth. 1t is curious fact
that in the great lime stone valleys of
Frederick and Hagerstewn, in West
ern Maryland, the chestnut is not
found. The mountains on each side
of the valleys are covered with the
chestnut tree, but the limestone soil
seems to be unfavorable to it. In
Southern and Eastern Maryland it is
one Of the most abundant trees. But
our Talbot county friends need not ex-
pect to get trees by merely planting the
nuts. The most troublesome part of
the business is to protect the young
trees from cattle.
To have the public roads leading be-
tween avenues of trees would do more
to beautify country and make it at
tractive than the same amount of wvrk
and money expended in any other Ii az
Der. The carefully trimmed trees al'ng
the roads are among the chief beauties
Of the landscape in France. A stranger
visiting country for the purpose of
buying property or for any other pur-
pose is as much impressed with
the appearance of the public roads
as with anything else. A bad impress
sion is made when the road is enclosed
in unsightly fences choked up with
briars and the sides of the road are a
nursery for weeds, whence the seed is
scattered far and wide over the adjac-
ent fields. The old Laird of Dumbe-
dikes gave bis son an excellent bit of
advice on his deathbed, when he told
him to plant a tree whenever he had
nothing else to do. SIT will grow for
you," he said, "while you sleep"
Middletown transcript., 1897-10-09
ORNAMENT, YOUR FARM.

Ornament your farm, not at great
expense, but with good sense. Do it
with skill and judgment, with a few
trees here another there, and bunch
elsewhere. You may never want to
part with your farm; that makes no
difference; place beautiful is just as
good for you as anybody else, and a
few artistic touches will often do it at
little labor or expense. The beauty
thus added to ours is not only an ex-
ample but stimulus to others to do
likewise, and presently you may find
homes Of beauty all along the road from
town to home and added value that
few could fail to appreciate. The high
ways and the travelled roads of our
country could be made as cool, shady
and attractive as the famed roads of
Europe if the owners of the farms
bounded by them could only be induced
to plant shade trees within their
fences. And does the reader suppose
for moment that such trees need be
only ornamental ? Not for moment.
Beauty adds value, it is true, but
timber has value in addition to the
beauty it affords, and as well food aud
protection for birds and for live stock,
fruit and nuts for the young, and 10
the years to come, when our forest
timber is gone, be of more than or
dinaly value for the practical purpo. g.
of life.-Chicago Times.

TRANsPLANT1Ne FOREST TREES

TRANSPLANTING FOREST TREES.
The smaller the tree the more certain
it is to live when transplanied. But
il, you want trees Of fair size, or
six to ten feet high, with a stem one or
two inches in diameter, select such and
then proceed to dig them up. saving as
many Of the roots as possible. After
they are dug, pr ceed to the pruning,
bearing in mind that all loss in the way
of roots must be fully made good re-
ducing the number and length of the
branches, and, to be sure of it, cut all
back at least two-thirds of their 0rigi-
nal length. If the branch is six feet
long, cut away four feet. But 10 this
pruning leave the stumps of branches
in such shape that the head Of the
tree will be well balanced when the
new shoots appear the following sea-
son. This may appear at first to be
rather severe treatment, but it is the
only safe way of insuring the life of
the specimens transplanted. Besides,
before the end of the following sum-
mer far more and lsrger shoots will be
produced than if not severely pruned.
If forest trees of all deciduous kinds
are treated in the same way, there is
little difficulty in making them live and
thrive, even if their roots are few in
number when dug from their native
habitats. Little or no attention need
to be paid to the position or number of
buds left on the pruned tree. for these
will appear in due time, and often
more than are really required to form
a good hard tree. The new shoots
springing from the pruned branches
will be in proper condition for receiv-
ing the cions in the spring of the
eecond year after transplanting. Un-
less such trees as you purpose trans
planting have very large lateral roots,
they should be staked when set ont to
prevent being blown over by the wind
during heavy rains and winds in ia II
and early spring. New York Sun.
