FARMS AND TEEEs.-In my iulg
ment, the proportion of a small farm
that should be permanently devoted
to trees (other than lruiD is not less
than one-fourth ; while, of farms OK,
ceeding one hundred acres in area,
that proportion should not be less
then e,thisd, and may often be
profitably increased TO one half. |
Am thinking Of such as are in good
part superficial rugged and rocky,
or sandy and sterile, such as New
England, eastern New York, north
ern New Jersey, with both slopes of
the Allgheanics, as well rs the west
ern third Of our continent, abound in.
1t may be that il is advisable to be
content with smaller proportion OF
timber in the prairie states and the
broad, fertile intervales which en-
bosom most Of our great livers for at
least part of their course; but |
doubt it. And there is scarcely a
farm in the whole country, outside OF
the great primitive forests in which
openings have but recently been
made, in which some treeplanting
is not urgently required. In my own
hiIly, rocky, and often boggy, West
chester probably within six of be-
ING the oldest agricultural county in
tbn Jynion-I am confident that ten
thousand acres might tomorrow be

Comparative Value of Hay, Corn
and Roots.

An acre Of ground retained ex-
pressly for hay, yields on an average
not more than one a one-half tons OF
vegetable food an equal space plant
ed with carrots or ruta bagas vii!
yield from 10 to 90 tons, say Is tons,
which is by no means high average,
and has often been attained without
any extraordinary cultivation. 1t has
been ascertained by careful expert
ment that three working horses, Is
IL hands high, consume hay at the
rate of 200 pounds per week, or five
tons and l,O49 pounds per annum,
besides one and onc-half bushels Of
oats per week, or IS bushels per an
mum. BY repetition of the same
experiment it was found that an I'M
worked horse consumed hay at the
rate Of four and one-quar,cr tons per
annum.
The produce, therefore, Of nearly
six acres Of land is necessary to sup
port a working horse for one year
but half an acre of carrots, at 600
bushels per acre, with the addition
of chopped straw, while the season
FIR feeding them lasts, will do as well,
not better. These things do not
admit of doubt, for they have been
the subject Of exact trials, as some
of your agricultural friends can testi-
fly.
1t has also been proved that the
value of one bushel of corn, together
with the fodder upon which it grew,
will keep a horse in good working
order for week. An acre planted
with corn, and yielding SO bushels,
will be ample to keep a good sized
horse in working order for one
year.
Let the farmer, then, consider
whether it is better to maintain a
horse on the produce Of half an acre
ofruta bagas or carrots, or upon the
produce OF an acre OF corn; or, on the
other hand, upon the hay aud grain
from six acres of land-for it will
require six acres Of good land to pro
duce the necessary hay and grain as
above. The same reasoning mi oht
be made use i'll the feeding Of cattle
and sheep. journal.
