Street improvements.

The work of macadamizing Main
street has been considerably interfered
with by the bad weather. However, some
progress is being made, and if the
weather will permit within the next
few weeks quite showing will be
made. The idea is to macadamize the
worst places in the different streets at
this time and gradually fill in the va
cant places.
The cement and other material has
been ordered and the work on the ce-
ment walk from the postofice to jamie
sons corner will be commenced in a
few days.

has the characteristic of producing Its
fruit upon the last summer shoots and
those orchar,iists who persist in clip.
ping the fruit from this variety of
cherry will be rewarded with good
crop every year-careless gathering
may remove the best bearing wood for
the next year.
AS far as the observation of the
writer goes. cherry trees are much
neglected in this section. They re-
quire pruning and training as much
rs other fruit trees and will fully re-
pay all the trouble by their generous
production of fine fruit.
II allowed to overproduce they will
run to fine twigs and the fruit will be
small and poor in flavor.
The varieties that are most thrifty
in the neighborhood of Canon City
are Early Richmond, Montmorenoic,
wragg and ostheimer. The Morrella
and the sweet varieties appear to be
attacked by borers, the bark becomes
hardened and splits; where the split
occurs there appears a fungus growth
and the south side of the trees dies.
Observations made in many or.
chards. both for personal and govern
ment guidance, show that trees with
wide spreading branches are healthier
and more productive. that cherry trees
which are plsced where they receive
much moisture are diseased and exude

rs it is when the rows run from east
to west, hay or straw should be placed
on the ground around the roots to
keep the ground soft and moist
When the vines begin to sprout
there will be many s'uall shoots upon
the old wood; as these shoots seldom
bear fruit or produce wood nit for
fruiting they should oe rubbed off
not cut, but rubbed with finger and
thumb and removed close TO the stem
Upon the new wood which is TO
produce the present years crop there
frequently appear two shoots from one
eye, the smaller or poorer one should
be carefully rubbed off as one will
stsrve the other. two punches of in
ferior fruit will be produced instead
of one large bunch of fine favored
grapes.
Free bat shallow cultivation is nee
essary to keep the ground between the
rows perfectly clear from weeds; this
is very important during the summer
time; for it is great advantage to
the growth and timely ripening of
the fruit.
Vines of all sorts may be propagat-
ed by cuttings; this is good season
to plant them.
The cuttings must be shoots of last
summers growth. and shortened to
ten or twelve inches, leaving only
three eyes or buds to each cutting !;
plant them in rows fifteen inches
wide and eight inches apart in the
rows, place two buds under ground al.
lowing the other to appear little
above the surface. Irrigate once q
week or less il the season is damp.

Arbor Day Observed with
Fitting Exercises by Schools

Among the less pleasing birds are the
useful but disgusting ravens and buzz
yards, and the hawk and magpie. who
are the enemies uf chickens. The
magpie. however. is often kept for a
pet. and sometimes talks quite we'll.
Then there are the swallows, pewees.
wrens, cat birds. butcher birds, snipes,
quail. woodcock, and many others.
OF wild fowl we have duck. turkey.
prairie chicken. grouse and ptamagan.
And far above all the others among
the Rocky mountains we have the
great eagle. the king of birds.
A violin solo by Edward Smith
completed the program.
Instructors, pupils and visitors then
repaired to the lawn where the trees,
eighteen in number. and of the soft
maple variety. were to be planted.
OF this numher four were set out and
named by the difernt classes Of the
High school, each class selecting for
their tree the name of its teacher.
viz. Miss Saisie Allen, Miss Cathe-
rine Wilder. Miss Bertha Evans and
Godford Truman. All the members
helped in the work of placing their
tree by emptying 9 shovel of dirt
about the roots.
At the other buildings the day was
obreryed much in the same way.
Three soft naples were placed on the
lawn about the Lincoln scnool, and q
like number Of the same variety at
the jefferson. None were planted at
the Washington, there being already
a sufficient shade.
In this way greater part Of the
morning was occupied, the pupils be-
ing released at 10 o'clock. Collecting
in parties they betook themselves,
equipped with lunch, to the various
parks and resorts in and about the
city, where the remainder of the day
was spent picnicing.

One important suggestion in connec-
tion with planting appie-trees Wa.
overlooked in the article referring to
that subject. viz: The distance the
trccs should be placed apart.
An orchard planted to young trees
looks quite bare when they are placed
only twenty feet apart, but rs they
grow and spread in the form best
suited to the dry climate of Colorado
they will become too crowded to pro-
duce fine results. therefore, they must
be placed fully thirty feet apart each
way. thirty-fve feet Is better and
some experienced growers advocate
forty feet as the most valuable dis
tancc; as the life of the tree will be
longer when abundance of room is al
lowed. Plenty of room makes all the
operations OF care and culture easier
to perform.
Some orchardists plant cherry or
peach trees in alternate rows, to fill
the spaces for few years, but IL is
not desirable to have such n combina-
tion in one block, the apple requires
the room for the spread of its roots.
Shade crops of corn or sorghum are
profitable and will not injure the
young trees.
Those who have had experience
will admit that it requires more than
ordinary human courage to dig out n
fine young tree that is just entering
upon its best bearing period, yet that
is what has to be done If the planting
is closer than thirty feet apart. This
applies to apple trees. Pear trees do
not spread to the same extent, indeed,
the pyramidHl form permits Of close
planting. also the fact that the pear
strikes its roots deeper than the apple
and spreads less If not irrigated too
close to the tree.
Cherry trees will do we'll twenty
feet apart. They grow rapidly in
Colorado, at least. In this part Of the
ArkansAs valley, and should not be
too much crowded. The AorrellA

The planting Of trees aud the hold
ing of appropriate exercises character.
ized the observance of Arbor Day by
the public schools of the city on Fri
day last.
At the High school building a
special literary and musical program
relating to trees and birds was rem
dered by the pupils. Their efforts
were most creditable. and were much
appreciated by the school and by the
several visitors in attendance.
The program opened with "Ameri-
ca, {" sung by the school. and was fol-
lowed by the reading Of Gov. Pea
body's message, by George Hsdden.
An essay on Trees" by Miss Adah

in its preparation, and the warmth OF
its reception proved that it was ap.
