The Value Of Trees.

From the St. Joseph Gazette.
The residents of western cities do
not seem to appreciate the value Of
trees. as do those of eastern cities
Nothing adds more to residential
city than a showing of lordly elms or
poplars lining its streets. What more
pleasant, during these torrid summer
days, than to sit under the shade of a
friendly tree either at home or in the
yard of neighbor? Some householders
of course appreciate the value of trees
not alone as a means of identifying
ones premises, but as protection
against the heat of summer and the
storms of winter, and give proper at
tention to the matter of growing them.
The great mass of our western people
however, pay but little attention to
this highly important matter and for
this reason few of our cities are well
provided with trees.

FENCES

The fence question has been blazon-
ed on magazine pages to such an ex-
tent that we quite believe that the
promoters of fenceless yards-back
yards and other semi-socialistic propa-
ganda in a mild form, thoroughly be-
lieve that they have discovered the
"back yard beautiful" for themselves.
We wonder how many of them know
the real beauties and delights Of the
gardens of Charleston, Baltimore and
Richmond, Virginia-the old walled
gardens with the emanating perfume
of the really old fashioned flowers?
Some of them seem almost enchanted.
And a great part Of their enchantment
seems due to the very walls themsel-
yes. They are almost like those Of
the Arabian Nights-places of dreams.
These are not gardens beautiful
they are beautiful gardens. There is
a decided difference.
Listen then to the complaint of a
woman writing OF the fenceless state
In the Atlantic Monthly and then de-
eide whether you will tear down your
back yard fence or wall. True fences
and walls are not OF themselves beau
tiful from their nature-but with a
little ingenuity much might be accom-
plished for their sightliness and much
might be spared the woman who
speaks as follows:
Il suppose the man behind the
whirring mower knows where our

der marks the line. 1t is the neighbor-
