FRUIT TREES ON THE PRAfRfEs.

= Ht=
Tie great want of the rolling prairies
of Kansas is fruit trees. The valleys q
the streams which intersect The land, are
flied with cottonwood, oak. black walnut,
and other Varistiss of trees. but on ac-
count of the annual fires which sweep
the prairies, they do not grow on, the
higher ground. Neither viii. fruit trees
of the better kinds grow unprotected in
consequence of the severity Of the winds.
Il Was found, however, that this j ffiGulty
might be remedied by planting a barrier
of cottonwood, or some other hardy trees
on the outskirts of the field; aud some
1ne specimens of peaches have already
been raised as the result of this pan. Tie
suggestion might be valuable 10 other To-.

The "spggs stion" We hope will be
valuable in other loea litiss, . i is not
for Kansas. The great want of the
prsiries is forest trees, aud they will grow
spontaneously wherever the prairie is pro

This has been done by fencing the

thistle, and will take root on sand bar
or a ''high divide.'' The oak comes

pie are generally anxious OF securing the
best fowls. the following suggestions from
an expert will be found Invaluable:
A young turkey has smooth leg and
a soft bill. and if fresh, The eyes will be
bright and the feet moist. Old turkeys
have scaly, stiff feet. Young foels have
a tender skin, smooth legs, aud the breast
bone yields readily to the pressure Of the
foyer. The best ats those that have gel
low lege TIE feet and legs of hes old
fowl look as if they had seen hard ser
vice 10 the world. Young ducks feel ten
der under the wing aud the web is trans
parent, The best are bard and thick on
tbs breast. Young geese have yellow
bills aud the feet are yellow and supple;
tie skin may be easily broken by The head
OF 8 pin; the breast is plump and The fat
white. An old goose IS upft for ID {

above qaalities will usually be tender and
