How to Plant a Maple Grove.

THE sugar maple is easily raised from
its seed, which ripens in October. The
seed is sometimes planted Immediately in
beds of finely pulverized earth and cover
ed three-quarters of an inch deep, when it
will sprout early the following spring; but
with a warm, moist fall it is apt to grow
before frost and thus be destroyed by the
winter; and perhaps it is better to gather
the seed when ripe, mix with dry sand,
place in a cool cellar, and SOY early the
following spring. The seedlings at one
year old should be transplanted into the
nursery rows, two feet apart, and the plants
eight inches in the row. In two years
they will be from four to six feet high, and
are then ready to transplant into the
forest rows. But many thousands of
young plants may be found on the out
skirts of maple woods, where cattle do not
browse them. Those are better for being
transplanted into the nursery rows and
grown Tor two years before planting In
forest.
The seeds are sometimes planted direct
" were intended to grow in the forest
rows but this is not a good way, as 1t in
wolves much more labor to keep them
clean and the growth will be slower.
The land to be planted should be put I'M
der good cultivation and worked in some
hoed crop, for a few years after transplant
ing the naples. When the young trees
get a good start, seed down with orchard
grass, which will grow in shade, or IAN be
cut and fed green or cured for hay. 1t
may be pastured when the trees are too
large to be injured by cattle. The crops
will pay for all cultivation and expense Of
trees for the first five years.
Now when ready to set the young trees
in the forest rows, draw straight, shallow
burrows, north and south, twenty feet
apart, and set twelve feet apart in the fur
row, and you will have 1872 trees to the
acre. Allowing for some loses, you may
have 1900 trees on twelve acres. These
trees, with proper attention, will be twelve
inches in diameter twenty years from set
ting; after which you may make one
pound of sugar per year from a tree for
the next ten years Estimating sugar, or
an average, TO be fifteen cents per pound,
and we have $500 per year; but deduct

Still Onward and Upward.

The extraordinary incr ase that has taken place
in the sale of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters during
the past yelr, is another proof that an intelligent
people, although they may try all things, hold
fast only to that which Is good. No amount OF
puffery can lift inferior articles to the position OF
standard specifics. To use the words of Tom
Paine, they may go up like a rocket, but are sure
to come down ANONYMOUSLY like its extinguishsd
stick. Hundreds of such nostrums have gone up
and come down since the Introduction of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, nearly the fifth of a century
ago. Yet it still remains the supreme tonic OF the
age. 1t has not, and never has had 9 rival in ef-
fc .cy or popularity, and now stands at the head
of all proprietary remedies manufactured on this
side of the Atlantic. Ineveryc civilized community
on this continent, or in South America, it is the
accepted remedy for dyspepsia, bilious com-
plants, constipation, general debility, nervous
weakness, a d many other unpleasant or danger
Gus maladies. A medicine so widely extended Is
of course pirated snd initiated by dealers without
conscience or integrity:
Therefore, let every man and woman who de-
signs to purchase the genuine Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, see to it that they have what they pay
for, and not the results of an infamous impos-
ture. Look carefully at label, stamp, and name
blown in the glass, and do not forget that the
true 6itteTs is sold in bottles only.
