A Picturesque Figure in
 A Mountain Pathway

An artist friend was telling me yester- day of an experience that she had recently in her attempt to sketch from life bit of tram cars on what is known at the coal mines as the "tipple." I recalled that this dusky specimen had once been pointed out to me as an object of interest. and I read fly understood that he had pleased her ar- tistic fancy. "They called him Greasy down in the village" she said, because he oiled the tram cars, and incidentally himself. He was quite black to begin with, and his clothes, what there was of them, were completely covered with the black oil with which he daubed all day. But he was picturesque little figure, standing on the hill side. He wore a coat, through which his ebony skin glstened, and his trousers were absolutely in rags. His feet were thrust in huge shoes, and one leg was bare. A black hat was set on one side of his head, and he carried a bucket of oil. He stopped for a moment when we called out to him, and I explained that we wanted to sketch him.
 Greasy I said, q want you to come over to the hotel just like you are. l am going to paint you"
 seemed quite willing at first and I wondered if I would ever sketch him in just the picturesque attitude that he pre- scented against the mountain side. But afterwards he said that he did not think he could come, that he must go on to the tipple, where he greased' the cars. l told him that I would come on up there, and he rugged along the hill side, wondering, l suppose, what I meant to do.
 "At last, however, he declined fatly 10 pose for me, and no inducement ever al- tered his final decision. 1 should not want, however, better study than this little fig ure, standing in the mountain pathway.

WgNDBREAKS
Press Bulletin No. 4 From the New
Mexico Agricultural College and
Experiment Station.

The most noticeable permanent i'm
provement at the Agricultural college
this spring is the planting OF wind
breaks fer the protection of the build
ings and feeding lois Of the College
Farm. Thrifty trees OF the Green Ash,
C4talpa, Russian Mulberry, Honey
Locust and Black Locust are growing
in several places near Mesils Park as
well as on the College Farm, and IL
was decided TO use seedlings OF these
varieties, leaving space in the plsnta-
tiOn for other forms which can be add
ed later. One year old seedlings
were secured at an average
cost of $500 per thousand
delivered by express. The trees were
three and one half feet apart in the
row. The Forestry Division at Wash
ington has donated 5000 Evergreens TO
the college. These will be grown this
year under a brush screen, and when
well established will be trsnsplanted
to the windbreaks, which will make
the trees 3tx3t feet apart when the
planting is completed. Seeds of white
hickory, pignut, Texas oak ano Other
hard wood species will be added to the
permanent plantations, thus making
them proving grounds for large num-
ber of sorts.
On all the plats set this spring Rus
sian Mulberry has been more largely
used than any other species. 1t is well
TO the locality, makes a dense
shade, branches low and grows num-
berless twigs, thus making it one of
the best varieties for forming screen.
Being good shade maker il will force
such thin-sbadiug kinds as Black
Locust to make tall straight growth.
AS the locusts are valuable post tim
bers, they are useful trees
for farm planting. A wind break
made of number of Varieties
is much more attractive than one com
posed of a single kind. The greater
number should be quick grown during
youth, to afford early prote ctiou. and
among these other X nds can be mixed
In varying quantities. even such slow
growers as the Burr Oak being includ-
ed spa-iugly. If, however: only one
kind can be had good wind break can
be made by planting thu trees close
and giving them necessary cultivation.
AS the prevailing winds at Mesilla
Park are from the west, the plsDta
tions have been plac- d to the west and
north of the buildings and feeding lots
They are eight rods wide and OF vary
ing length. A few rows of trees are
not sufficient to make an effective
There must be width
enough for the trees to loose their io-
dividual character and form a mass in
which each tree supports it's neigh Dor.
There is yet ample time for the
planting of wind breaks in most parts OF
New Mexico, and there is hardly a
more important piece of work for the
farmer and fruit grower.
