How VARIETIES ARE I1PRoyED.-Alr. Lane,
of Vermont. who has been so successful with
his sugar-beet culture, sends Us an account
Of his processes. lie commenced y years
ago, selecting for seed the best sly beets Of
those that approached nearest to the partieu-
lar type he wished to proiuce. From the
crop raised from this seed the best six were
again selected and so on until. the present
time, when be claims to have produced his
ideal ''ol a good beet to raise for The dairy
a beet that for uniformity of shape, color,
solidity, quality, size, and yield Is not excell-
ed by any beet or mangold that Is raised IN
this country. The largest beets
raised the paat season in our vicinity weigh
/ cd - to 81 lbs" The specimens exhibited
/ by NJ. Lane at the time OF delivering his ad-
dress weighed respectively lbs, and 10 lbs.
Grown at ! $ in. Y 30 in. spaces, roots averag-
/ ing lbs, would make crop ofnearly thirty
! five tons per acre: roots averaging 10 lbs.
would make ffty-eight tons per acre. Mr..
/ Lane has also made EXPERIMENTS Of the same
/ character with onions and he thinks that
/ instead Of trying to get better vegetables by
producing new varieties, If VIC would i'm
/ prove the best old varieties, We would attain
/ more uniformly and better quality. HC
thinks he can take the Pcachblow potato
and by selecting few specimens for seed the
nearest the type he wishes to produce, CON

mat0c- and Indian corn are examples In
which We can mos. strikingly see the good
F results Of selection. s. with flowers. BY
choosing for seed those specimens only that

planting ~ ON ACE.-No have known
landowners TO neglect or refuse TO plant
iruIt trees because they Were 't0o old To get
the beneit from them. They were partly
correct, - far rs their reasoning WAS based
on the old way Of planting in grass, followed
by neglected culture by which twenty years
or more were required for the trees u reach
the growth they might attain in FIVE years
under the best care. We remember the case
of the late David Thomas, the pioneer cult
yatOr Of fine fruit in Western New York
After be had long passed half century Of
yearc, and hls head was whitencd By age, be
Commenced planting large fruit garden
which was afterwards so widely known 70
his pomologIcal friends. Some Of his acquain
tances Who knew but little Of improved tree
culture at that carly day, wondered what
he Wac setting ont those trees ior-hc could
never expect to live long enough 10 Get any
fruit from them But the trees did hear in
time fur him 10 eat Of the fruit. for they
were set out and managed in the bert man
ner' and Tor more than twenty years from
the time they began 10 bear, he enioved
IRON them al abundance Of delicious crors
OF peaches aprieo,s, plums, pears and cher
ries, which many Of his friends can well re-
member Tor their rareness and excellence Ii
was nm old rhyme that he who plants pears,
plants for bis heirs but modern cultivators
have learned better, and can have good fruit
the third year, by selecting early bearers.
and taking care OF the trees. The Bartlett,
Julienne, Belle Lucrative Summer Doyenne,
Howell Gifard Seckel, and several other
sorts, come quickly INTO bearing, even if not
worked as dwarfs. A similar selection NAV
be made of early and later apples. The small.
err fruits and grapes give even a quicker re-
tarn.as Tor instance, strawberries in full
bearing IN one year, raspbe,ries and black
berries IN two and three years, and curranti
IN moderate quantities as soon a. the bushel
attain any size, and abundantly as they ar,

matter by long notice in the Pail Nal Ca
.etc on the subject of Indian forests. II is
now several years since the attention Oi the
British government was called to the reckless
destruction of the standing timber ln India
as in this country, the people had come u
look upon the wood supplYas iuexhausuble,
and a practice known AS the dhy0 system
had become very extensive. This system is
50 very like what Is done in soma Of our more
thinly settled states that is worthy % de-crip-
ton. A woodman makes q clearing, and
burns the trees, using the ashes for manure.
In very few years be finds that the land
has lost Its richness, 80 he moves away and
repeats the process. OF course this was fatal
to the forests, and when the Indian railway
system began 10 be developed it became cyi-
dent that the most valuable woods were very
scarce. The stringent measures which have
been adopted are likely To effect 4 radical re-
form and in that tropical climate a few years

lands f. j. not too late for Us To profit by the
experience OF the rest Of the world, and our
government would 90 well 10 take the mat
ter energetically in hand. The fires Of the
pact year have destroyed an amount of
standing timber which IL is impossible TO es-
innate with even Approximate accuracy. The
wUsteiuluess of lumbermcn has been made al
most Insignificant in comparison with the
wholesale destruction wrought IN Michigan
and Wisconsin, but wLiie 1t If perhaps inn
possible to avoid ire in the woods, We can at
least check the havoc made By the AK. How
long it will take TO arouse the people 20 a
sense of the danger which threatens our al
ready sufficiently reduced forests. depends
largely upon the earnestness Of those who re
alize the Importance OF the subject. We hone
10 DO our duty in the matter, and if we can
secure the attention Of few we may hope in
the end t. influence the many. We are glad
to see THAI some Of the Western states are
Offering bounty Tor the cultivation ct for-
ests on rrsirie lands. and We hope that be-
fore long farmers viii begin to ask their Con
cressmen to advocate tie establishment of an
