Ornamental Trees.

We believe, after all that has
been said and done, shade and other
ornamental trees are not apprcciat-
ed. We hear one and another talk
Of cutting down this oak or that ma
pie that have been many years
growing, just as though they were
like building that could be re-
placed whenever desired. And
then, again, there is not one shade
tree planted where there should be
hundreds if not thousands.
Those who settled the county, and
it is true Of those who spread all
over the United States, felt it their
duty to level the forests and clear
up the land, no great matter what
becomes of it afterwards, and so we
find in the more thickly settled parts
ofthe country very few of the old
trees. There are miles of road and
street that have not single tree by
their side, that should have them
for shade and ornament their whole
length. There are tens of thous-
ands Of acres of land good enough
to grow woods that are now nearly
as the Desert of Sahara, that should
be planted with trees, or what
might be better in some cases, sown
OF planted with the seeds Of fruit
trees. In some sections of the
country attention has been given to,
and premiums awarded for planta-
tions of forest trees. This work
should go on until large part of
the rough, stony land of New Eng
land, to say the least, should be
restored to its former glory and
beauty, and, we may also add, prof
itableness.-JAs. F. c. HYDE, IN

Economy in Farm Management.

Most of the fortunes that are made
in this world are made by saving
and by judicious expenditure; by
first getting money, and then making
such use Of it that it shall keep con.
stantly increasing. Those men are,
as a class, the most successful in
amassing large fortunes who have
no idle capital. AS fast as money
comes into their possession they
find means of SO investing it that it
shall, in turn, help to enlarge the
general fund. In proportion as they
allow it to remain idle do they lose
all opportunity to add to their store.
If they launch it in losing ventures
they are still worse off, for it takes
the income Of other money to make
up the loss on this.
In farming the same general prin-
ciple holds true. The farm, the
live stock, the crops, the implements
and the labor, represent not so much
the capital as the opportunities OF
the farmer, and they will yield re-
turn not so much in proportion to
the interest on the capital as in pro-
portion to his knowledge and their
management.
Furthermore, there is in every
item of his establishment tenden-
cy to waste and deterioration that
demands his constant vigilance.
Weeds, rust, decay, disease, the es-
cape of ammonia, the teaching of
manure heaps, destruction of food,
the deterioration of the soil, and
the ravages Of insccts-these are
the never-ceasing sources of loss
against which he should wage a
constant warfare, and which will
surely conquer him unless he con-
quers them.
There is no use in manuring lands
to grow weeds; in buying tools to
rust out under a stone wall; in
erecting buildings to rot away for
want Of paint and care; in
buying animals and leaving them
to the unhindered action of
disease; in accommodating manure
to fill the air with its exhalations
and the brook with its teachings;
in raising forage to floor barnyard
with; in buying land to yearly lose
its strength and virtue; in growing
crops to feed UNDECIDED insects.
Yet more than one Of these defects
may be seen in almost unrestraned
operation on every farm in the
country, and the extent to which
they lower the average success Of
our farmers is greater than would
be believed.-Deitz' Farm Journal.

Heaves in Horses.

Heaves in horses is distinguished
by 4 kind Of jerking double-tlank
movement at each expiration, gen
orally accompanied with slight,
peculiar cough, often approaching
a grunt, which no one who has
owned horses that had the hcaves
will ever mistake. 1t is supposed
to be directly caused by the diges-
tive organs failing to supply so
full an amount of nutritive matter
to the breathing apparatus of the
lungs, as free, healthy action re-
quircs. When once established,
the disease is commonly regarded
as incurable, and the opinion is not
far from correct. 1t may, however,
he much mitigated, or suspended,
by giving proper food. Always
give green, wet, or succulent fodder
AS fresh grass in summer, and cut
and soaked hay in winter.
"A spoonful Of ginger added at
each feeding, will generally remove
the symptoms entirely for some
hours, but we could not recommend
the long continued use of a local
stimulant ofthis kind. When taken
early, in young horses, the disease
may be entirely cured, by mixing
grease or lard, in small quantities,
with the food, in addition to the
care already mentioned. In one in
stance a young horse was pcrma-
ncntly cured by compelling him to
drink the greasy water from wash
ing dishes, with portion of refuse
milk mixed with it, and the whole
commonly known by the specific
name, "dishwater." He soon learn
cd to like it, and it constituted his
chief and only drink for four years,
when every trace of the heaves dis
appearcd.-Countr Gentleman.

EARLY CUCUMBERs.-Pla the
early sets in hot beds. AS soon as
they show rough leaves, sever the
top roots some distance below with
sharp trowel or knife. In day
transplant in a hot bed, without per-
hitting the earth to drop off the
roots. In week cut the latcrals
with a knife, an inch off; then lift
the ball and transplant it. Shorten
the roots once week, going further
out each time. Transplant into
cold frames. When the open soil
becomes warm remove them in balls
to their final place of growing.

Thick and Thin Seeding Of Oats,

l have observed that oats standing
very thinly on the ground (as it is
probable these did), are several
days in ripening, and are much
more liable to he injured by rust,
than those are that are thickly sown.
have raised them in drills and
have seen them raised in this way,
and in nearly every case they were
more or less affected by the rust,
and were from one or two weeks
later than those sown in the usual
manner, in some cases were so bad
" rusted as not to ripen at all.
Two years ago at the time ofsow-
ing my oats, the wind blew very
hard, making it almost impossible
to SOW them evenly. Too wide a
piece was taken the first time round,
and strip across the field, about
two feet in width, was missed, only
small quantity Of seed being scat
tered over it, probably not one fourth
as much as on the lands adjoining.
At the time of cutting them, the oats
that were thickly sown were ripe,
the straw bright and clean, showing
no signs Of rust, while those on the
small piece were perfectly green and
very badly rusted. Most Of the
field was sown at the rate of three
and one-half bushels per acre.
To test The question of thick and
thin seeding, a small part Of
the field was sown at the rate Of
two bushels per acre. On this
piece the oats were two or three
days later than on the rest of the
field, and showed signs of rust, but
were not materially injured by it.
The result of my observations is
that oats that are thickly sown are
much less liable to be injured by
rust, that they ripen earlier, and
that the straw is brighter and of
better quality than when only a
small quantity of seed is used.
This liability to rust is one of the
great objections to very thin seed
ing. From observation and cxper-
inent, l am led to the conclusion
that the quantity of seed usually
sown is not sufficient, that more
might be used to advantage. The
quantity of seed usually sown in
this section is from two to two and
one-half bushels per acre. In ordi-
nary seasons and on ordinary land,
when this amount of seed is used,
the oats stand thinly; the straws
are so far apart that nearly as many
more might stand on the same
ground without being crowded.
But, say some, the heads will be
enough larger on the thinly seeded
piece to make up the deficiency.
This is not so in my experience, and
the crop is much more liable to be
injured by rust. The largest crops
of oats / have ever seen raised were |
sown at the rate of three and one
half bushels per acre.
On my land | find that if two and |
onc-half bushels Of seed will produce
a certain number of bushels to the
acre, three and one-half bushels will |
produce from a fourth to third |
more, and | cannot make the extra
bushel of oats pay as much interest
in any other way as can by sowing
it. l know this is contrary to the
opinions Of many, but in my exper-
fence l find it truc.-WM. NEWTON,
IN Country Gentleman.

The best thing you can do with
your old strawberry bed, which is
SO matted together and difficult to
weed, is to dig it in and plant a
new one. If you have plenty of
ground, make it in u fresh place,
and keep the old one for what little
fruit it may give, and dig in as soon
as gathered. If you make the new
bed on the same place as the old
one, give it liberal dressing of
manure, and trench deeply so as to
