So HELPS
PLANTING TREES TOO CLOSE
Mistake That TOO Frequently Mara
the Appearance of Streets OF
American Cities.

The close setting of trees is largely
responsible for the deformed arboreal
growth we now have in our cities. We
occasionally see rows Of trees that
have become hedges forty and fifty
feet high with numerous dead branch
es on the inside and whole dead trees
here and there, though nearly all such
examples are in rural districts. Out
IN the open we see trees growing SO
close together that no one of them
has good form. Each Is struggling
TO get out into the light. 1t is the
hardest thing in the world to induce
men to look forward for twenty-five
years and take the growth OF trees into
Consideration.
Said one man to the writer: well,
I want something that will look well
In my lifetime. When I am gone it
doesn't matter to me how the trees
look. They will not get too large in
to interfere with each other in my life
time"
This, we must concede, is not the
right spirit to control the tree plant
err. He, more than most men, plants
for the future. Perhaps some OF our
ancestors reasoned that way fifty
years ago, and as result we have
d mass of deformed trees now, many
Of them At only to be grubbed out
and cast into the fire. When We are
planting trees there is no reason why
the planting should not be done IN a
manner that will, give us satisfaction
now and those that come after US In
future years. Besides. even in our
lifetime a symmetrical tree with cum
shine all around It Is perhaps as beau
tiful as the tree whose branches min
gle with those of adjoining trees.

Selecting Ewes,

A Canadian authority said the best
time to purchase the ewes for farm
flock is in August just after the lambs
have been weaned. We can purchase
them as cheaply then as at any time
and can make the best selection In
choosing ewes that have raised lambs,
as their milking qualities and strength
can be ascertained. Besides, we will
have them in good condition for the
next crop Of lambs.
