Planting Trees on she Prairie.
With large list Of readers on the western
prairies we deem It duty to urge every owne,
Of prairie farm to make generous tree plan
tations. Nothing would add 80 much TO the
value of the farm twenty-five years hence. l,
would be labor invested in safe bl,k at q
high interest that would not have the faint oil
usury. We quote an article by q citizen oil
Rockford, ILL.,, from the Prairie Farmer:
As Il is the duty of every man who owns a
prairie farm to plant portion of it in forest
trees, it becomes important for us to know wha,
trees to plant, either for durability, utility. OF
ornamental purposes. Some failures have taken
place and some have been discouraged. Twen
Eve or thirty years ago the planting Of Locust
was practiced to some extent, and g God, use
ful tree it was until its formidable enemy, the
borer, appeared. Next came the Balm Of
Gilead, the cottonwood. Lombardy poplar, &C.
and they are certainly better than 10 trees. but
they are but little value as forest trees. OF
late years some have planted considerably Of
the soft maple. It is a good, useful, thrifty
growing tree, bnt am afraid its days are
numbered; like the locust, the fatal borer has
attacked it In many districts already. accor
ding to report. where it is Of any size.
do not know Of any deciduous trees as fat
as my knowledge goes that would prefer to
our native elms, especially the Ulmus Amer
ieana, or white elm. 1t is tree of beautiful
foliage, easy to make grow anywhere; tough
useful timber for the farmer or mechanic, sci
dom breaks by the wind, cannot be killed mol
injured by any amount Of treading about it
Equals any Of our forest trees in size or Ion
gevity, q rapid grower, bears transplanting from
the forest first rate, or can be easily raised
from the seed, which ripens and falls about the
same time as the soft maple; and free from any
enemy as know.
Walnut, butternut and shell bark hickory
are also good useful timber, and can be raised
very readily from the nuts; they will generally
grow about two feet the first year If well atten
ded to; then transplant them, and in two year,
more will be ready to plant out in young
forests. If every farmer who lives on the
prairie would only plant few aires of these
he would in great measure help to avert the
crisis, which is sure to take place from the rap
i'd descration of our forests and pineries, and
beauty and enrich his homestead.

TIE BEST TINE TO Cur Wharf.-The unani
nous opinion appears to be, that if grain is Gu,
ned yellow, while the lower part of the stem
is still green, and the seed yet remains in q
soft and eoughey state, the grain will weigh
more to the bushei, and yield greater amour,
from given space of ground, that more and
better -four is made from it, and where The
straw is to be fed to stock, IL is relished better
and is more nutritious than II the grain was al
lowed to stand until it became fully ripe.
These experiments have been 80 frequently
made, and with such uniform results. that We
feel unwilling to let the coming harvest pass
without again reminding our readers of the fact.

DEAR SIR.-I receive no small degree Of
pleasure while making this report, in compar-

Of the comparison are these:
80 per cent increase in schoolable youths;
81 per cent increase in enrolment; 40 per cent
increase in average daily attendance; per
cent increase in average length Of school term;
10 per cent increase in average wages paid
male teachers; 40 per cent increase in average
wages paid female teachers; 80 per cent in
crease in total amount paid teachers. And all
this obtained with smaller expenditure of
money than was reported last year.
Our school Boards are familiarizing them
selves with their duties. More teachers who

PUBLIC READNGs.-The junior editor be-
ing the only person from this Office who had
the pleasure of listening to the public read
ings, by Messrs Wright & Chamberlin, two
weeks since, and having himself been absent
the most Of the week, no notice Of this excel
lent entertainment appeared in our last weeks
issue. We are sorry that not more OF our citi-
zens were in attendance. The audience, how
ever, though small, was an appreciative one.
As for ourself We were very agreeably disap-
pointed. We had anticipated that the read
ings would be.very commonplace, but we had
listened but once to each Of the gentlemen in
turn, when we perceived how very much and
how very pleasurably we should be mistaken.
The selections were all fine, and perhaps with
one exception, Of suitable length. The reci-
tations showed no small amount OF prepare
ton on the part Of the reeitsrs.. There SEEM
ed to be not only = perfect familiarity with the
matter, but q perfect understanding Of the au-
thor's meaning. What is generally most la.
mentable in professional eloeutionists, viz: q
| failure to have q clear. perception Of the au
thor's idea, and to catch the proper spirit o.
the piece, was not discernible. This can BE-
said Of both gentlemen with equal truthful
ness. Mr.. Wright has an extremely rich ane
melodious voice, and great power in modula
ton. These gentlemen purpose soon to give
another entertainment Of like character, oil
