tree, with thick trunk and small
head. The pruning continues with Il
great degree of severity. the poplar
becoming ugly and repulsive. TIE
roots of the poplar are also an UNI
desirable feature. for the fine root
let's fill up sewer pipes and stop the
flow of water, and the large roots
lift up flags and put the curbing out
of line.
In the matter of the choice of trees
there Is popular notion that oaks
grow slowly. and for that reason these
trees are not planted. People Will
say that it takes lifetime for an oak
tree to reach any considerable size.
Such an idea is easy to overcome by
showing what oaks will do when prop
erly planted and cared for.
Some of the finest streets in the city
OF Washington are planted with oaks,
notably Pennsylvania avenue. planted
plnted with red oaks. In the city of
East Orange some streets were planted
with pin oaks four years ago. and
they have grown in many cases even
more rapidly than the other spe-
ces, with the exception of the ori-
entail plane.
There are about 70 miles Of streets
in East Orange. The trees on about
40 miles Of those streets We're pruned
under the direction of the shade COM
mission since its organization. In this
work, too the street was treated as a
unit. All trees We're pruned to a uni
form height. height that would per-
NIT the uainlpeded passage of vehicles
and would allow all street lights to
be seen at night.
Few things are more important in
the care of trees than proper pruning.
The cut should be made close to md
even with the trunk. When pruning
is properly done the scar will heal.
When short stumps are left they dry
and rot, prevent the wound from heal
Ing and carry decay into the trees.
! GUARDS ARE NECESSARY.
A matter that is neglected when
trees are left to the individual to look
after is the placing of guards around
them of all mechanical injuries to
shade trees, those by horses are most
fatal. On any street having trees may
be found scores OF examples of trees
which have been barked by horses.
The preservation of existing old
| trees is even of greater Importance
| than setting out new ones. Tree sur
! gerry forms one OF the important divi-
| sions OF the care OF trees. Cavities in
I, trees no matter how caused, are thor
oughly cleaned of all decayed wood
painted with tar and filled with ce-
/ nent. Small cavities are filed with
/ the usual mixture of one part of Port
| land cement to two parts of sand. In
! the case of larger cavities bricks and
I stones are used to retain the concrete
| and the result is that a strong ma
I, sonry column is erected within the
| hollow tree and II is thus strength
| ened. The filling follows the contoul
| of the tree: but the cement Is not filled

but is filled up to The line separating

L. D. S. CoLoNISTS AND MINES.
Ell Paso Is a city of some $1,000 in
habitants, and Is the distributing point
for the southwestern part of the state,
some parts of New Mexico and Arizona
and the northern portion of Old Mexi-
co. Mining and oil developments are
talked of considerably here. Even the
Mormon colonists of Mexico are con-
cerned In such promotions, ]. c. Peter
son and Taylor & Sons of Juarez are
promoting big schemes, which, if sue
cessful, should be sufficient to satisfy
any half dozen men. They show fine
samples and describe big veins of rich
ores, and as they own the ground and
have large bodies blocked out, it
would not seem difficult matter to
interest sufficient capital to put the
properties on a paying basis. Mexico
mining business is different to what 1t
is in Utah. The Mexican government
is very liberal in Its, grants, but it

SHADE TREE COMMISSIONS.
Eastern States Take Up Problem OF

Keeping the Bordering Trees
In the Best Condition..

YIN New Jersey more than a dozen
4 cities have now established shade
tree commissioners. Pennsylvania
last year passed a law, drawn after
the New Jersey statue, providing for
the establishment of shade tree COM
missions in municipalities.
Municipal Engineering magazine de-
scribes the workings of the commits

about 400 trees have been planted.
The species used were the Norway
maple, the red maple, the European
linden, the American linden the rink

the gingko and the ash. Only one
species Of tree was planted on street.

and when matured there Is sufficient
space between the outstretching limbs
for the admission of light and the
free circulation af air. Streets that
have become famous for their beauti-
eful shade trees, both in this country
and abroad are planted with one
species of tree. This plan is followed
in Washington where some of the
most notable streets are East Capitol
