INFLUENCE OF FORESTS ON
CLIMATEs.-The influence Of
forests on the climate ofa coun-
try is now an admitted fact. 1t
is so universally believed in
France that the people have
petitioned government to en-
gage in the work of planting
trees all over the country in
the hope of retaining from
baroness the land which has
become almost desert by the
lack Of rain. 1t is thought that
the Emperor will accede to the
request and add another to the
list Of public improvements dur
ing his reign. The almost
undisputef fact upon which
this action is based, is one Of
the most remarkable admon-
itions Of Nature against too
great density Of population,
as it does that the ef-
feet Of an excess Of what is call
Cd improvement is to render
the country less habltable for
even a smaller number. It is
the common way in this country
to cut down forests and float
them down the streams to be
manufactured in mills situated
on some Of the falls below. On
this theory this practice is. real
~ improvident, since it
diminishes the volume Of water
available for more complicated
but equally necessary manu-
features that follow upon the
Of the lumber supply. |

When went into sheep feeding it

land, which at that time would hardly
grow good crop Of beans. My sue
cess has been beyond anticipation.
POUR SPEARS OF GRASS FOR ONE.
wanted TO get two spears Of grass

tanly got three, and my neighbors

erly cut one-halt to one ton to the acre
| now get two, Then I could not
raise rye, Last year got from IS acres
400 bushels and straw enough, if | had
sold it, to have amounted to 5000.
BREED OF SHEEP.
My twelvc-years' experience teaches
me that the breed has much TO do
with early maturity and success in
tsttening. have had Leicesters and
their grades, Cotswold grades, South
Down grades, Mcrino grades, and
have always found that where the Lei
cester blood prcdominates, / have had
an animal which would tatten quick
and at an early age, and make good
weight. Ihave had no trouble when
| have had sheep OF onehalf Leicester
blood, in making them yield one hun
dred pounds OF mutton at twenty
months old.
ECONOMY IN FEEDING
OF course, profits depend much up
on economy in feeding. l have my
teed boxes so arranged that instead OF
wasting halt bushel at feeding, as
is often done, l scarcely waste pint
in year Part of this result is due
to the fact that arrangements are
made so that the sheep can iced with
rapidity and without any crowding.
CLEAN TRoUGHs.
1t is necessary also, to have perfect
arrangements tor keeping the troughs
clean. Mine are kept clean by being
inverted, which is rendered easy by
special arrangements for that purpose.

MAHOGANY IN NEvApA-We notice
paragraph going the rounds to the
effect that large forests OF mahogany
have been found growing in Nevada,
and that it has even been selling as
cord wood tor fuel This is simply
absurd, as may be learned by refer
ence to any general encyclopaedia
Only four or five species OF mahoga-
ny are known to botanists, who have
named the tree Swietena mahogani,
the latter being the name it is known
by among the natives OF the West In
dies aud Honduras. Mahogany grows
only in tropical climates, and cannot
stand the least degree OF trost-being
a native of South America, Jamaica,
Cuba, St. Domingo. and especially the
shores OF Honduras Bay. The trees
are tall and straight, sometimes from
tour to six feet in diameter. The flow
ers are dull white or saffron color, and
| the fruit is about the size of turkeys
egg.
THE discovery of the beauty of this
wood is generally attributed to the
carpenter of Sir Walter Raleish's ship,
when the vessel lay at Trinidad in
1895. 1t is not generally considered
to be in perfect condition for cutting
until it is two hundred years old
In addition to the South American
species, there are two that are natives
OF the East Indies, and another ma
tive of Senegal, in Africa, the wood OF
the latter being very hard and fine
grained.
In the Island Of MADEIRA they give
the name of mahogany to the wood of
a tree they call Vinatico. 1t is not a
mahogany at all, as it belongs to the
laurel tribe, and Is known to botanists
as Persealndica, another species of
which is the Avocado pear, SO highly
esteemed in the West Indies as an ed
IDLE fruit. Our native Sassafias tree is
also one of the same tribe.
Some species OF Taurus may grow
TO large size in Nevada, and they
may call it mahogany, but no true ma
hogany does grow or can grow in Me
