TREES BY THE ROADSIDE.
Must Not BE Placed So as to Exclude
wind and gwm

Must Not BE Placed So as to Exclude
wind and Sum.
Country roads can be made far more
useful and attractive than they usually
are, and this may be secured by the
expenditure of only small amount Of
labor and money Although such i'm
provements are not necessary, they
make the surroundings attractive and
inviting and add to the value of prop
erty and the pleasure Of the traveller. /
Not only should brush and weeds be
removed from the roadside, but grass
should be sown, trees planted and side
path or walk be prepared for the use Of
women, children and other pedestrians
going to and coming from church,
school and places of business and amuse-
ment.
If trees are planted alongside the
road. they should be far enough back to
admit the wind and sun. Most strong
growing trees are apt to extend their
roots under the cutters and even be-
meath the roadway if they are planted
too close to the roadside. Even If they
be planted at safe distance those vari-
eties should be selected which send their
roots downward rather than horizontal
ly. The most useful and beautiful tree
corresponding with these requirements
is the chestnut, while certain varieties
Of the pear, cherry and mulberry an
swer the same purpose. Where there is
no danger Of roots damaging the sub
drainage or the substructure Of the road
some other favorite varieties would be
'elms, rock naples, horse chestnuts,
beeches, pines and oeiarH Climate,
variety Of species selected and good
judgment will determine the distance
between such trees. Elms should be 80
feet apart, while the less spreading
varieties need not be so far. The trunks
should be trimmed to a considerable
height, SO as to admit the sun and air.
Fruit trees are planted along the road
sides in Germany and Switzerland,
while mulberry trees may be seen along
the roads in France, serving the two
fold purpose Of food for silkworms and |
shade. If some of our many varieties Of |
useful, fruitful and beautiful trees
were planted along the roads In this
country and If some means could be de-
vised for protecting the product, enough
revenue could be derived therefrom to
pay for the maintenance Of the road
along which they throw their grateful |
shade

ArriculturaI Rreritis..

All through Long Island and New
Jersey grain and grass follow the po-
tato crop, without extra fertilizing.
The fertilizer farmers use the bulk
Of their fertilizers on the potato crop,
the wheat and grass making fine yields
on what the potatoes leave. Wheat
and rye both do better after early DO
tatoes than any other crop in the rota-
ton, says The Rural New Yorker.
Royal red Clawson wheat gave the
best yield. 20.S7 bushels per acre. this
year at the PENNSYLVANIA station.
In New York state hops were two.
points higher in condition Aug. / than
at the corresponding date last year.

the home last night. wbero many friends
OF the Family had gathered to condolo

and never have / known a more noble al
more upright young man. He had nrish

dencs caused by his wretched health,
could have prompted the tragedy that
has cast such gloom over his home.
