/ A ride about the college grounds at
Ottawa will show what the Industry of
one man will accomplish, in two brief
years. Sucha ride we enjoyed with Prof.
Kelsey and Major Bowles few days
ago.
In June, 1865, Prof Kelsey came to
Ottawa to take charge of the cofIe1o
grounds. He had heard the usual croal-
ing against the growing of trees in Kan
sas. He directed forty acres to be brok-
en-. and went back East. Nothing more
was done until his return in the spring
of 1866. Then he put out nine bushels
of Usage orange seed, eight thousand
apple gratis, one bushel apple seed, one
peck elm, and three bushels maple seed
and about forty thousand little ever
green's from the woods of Northern
Wisconsin. The elm seed he gathered
himself along the stream. Healso built
about two miles Of fence
In the spring of 1867 he planted about
eight bushels of Usage. orange seed, five
bushels peach seed, eighteen thousand
apple gratis, a quntity of sycamore, ash
and honey locust seed in nursery rows.
Also twenty-five acres forest, consisting
OF black walnut, oak, hickory, maple,
Usage orange, cottonwood, white pine,
cedar, larch, arbor vita. &c. He sold
about 81, 200 worth of trees aud plants
that spring, and will sell about S2,O0G
| worth this spring, reserying all he needs
each year fer hi own planting. (
There are already two hundred and
fifty acres Enclosed with good fence. The
timber is ready, and in six weeks six
hundred and forty acres will be inclos-
ed. There are four and a half miles of
hedge, cutting the grounds, into con-
venient lots. There are also fifteen
thousand apple gratis, twenty five thou
sand evergreens, ten thousand peach
trees, two thousand grape vines, fifteen
thousand forest trees, besides those
planted for permanent forest, all one
! year old. as - s3ao9 Sill IS.
This spring he is putting out orchards,
forests, hedge seeds, and several miles
1 Of hedge fence. s- ii sy
His trees have nearly ali succeeded
| well, and he finds no fault with soil or
climate. His forests. one year old, are
in cultivated grounds, and free of
weeds. They have cost 81 to $40 per
acre. He thinks evergreens, larch, &C.,
too costly and slow for forests, but eV-
cry man should have few far armament
and wind-hreaks. We were delighted

A man living on the outskirts of
Springfield, Mass, found snow drifts SO
deep in front of his dwelling that he
concluded his neighbors should break a
path for him. lie inserted an adver-
tisement in one of the papers offering
his house for sale for mere song. The
plan worked like charm. From imme
diately after breakfast until late at night,
ana on the next day also, a stream of
hungry Spectators, on foot and in sleghss
and carriages, poured down the blocka-s
ded street to secure the great bargain.
Of course they were all just too late,
and the street was as smooth and hard
as barn hoor-and all for half dollar.
