Forest Tree Culture.

The Evergreen and Forest Tree
Grower, a monthly, devoted to the
consideration Of the subjects embraced
by It's title, has valuable article on
the imminent need of action of the
people in all parts of the country,
especially in the East, to provide for
the future by planting trees. From
the article we take the following re.
marks:
Having visited the centres of our
numbering trade, and carefully gather
ed statistics, we find that, at the pres
ent rate of waste, seventeen years will
complete the destruction of our pine
ries. 1t is estimated that five years
Will suffice for the forests of Maine,
once supposed to be exhaustless. =
Soon after our pine is gone our fine
hard wood forests (Which now supply
the immense manufactures, the agri-
cultural enterprises, and car works.
will be destroyed, and then the remain
ing timber will suffer very severe drafts.
Thirty years will inevitably see large
tracts at the East denuded of timber,
while beautiful groves, large enough
for building and manufacturing pur-
poses, will adorn many portions OF the
West. If properly cultivated and
tended, trees will grow to good size
in thirty years. There is great differ
ence between a natural and an artificial
forest. Before US, as We write, is a
section of Scotch pine thirteen inches
through, and the tree was thirty five
feet high. Go into many of our we'll
kept artificial forests, and you will find
that trees often make diameter of one
inch a year, and height of two feet 4;
and we have known white pines to grow
even three and four feet year. The
soft woods often show yearly circle
OF an inch in thickness, giving a dia-
meter of two inches year"

Shaving the Meadow

A sensible correspondent of the Country
Gentleman discusses the question why the
hay crsp is growing lighter from year to
year. Among other things he says:
Another thing has been whispered,
which is this /: That ON account of TIL
great competition among the different
moving machine manufacturers, as to
which machine shall shave-Yes literally
shave-the surface of our meadows the
closest, the roots of the grass are really
and permanently injured by leaving them
bare, and thus very liable to be frozen out
absolutely. We believe a good deal of
clover IS killed out in this way, the erewns
being sliced off to the very roots. Close
moving of grass, like close cropping of
the human hair, is a very senseless prac
tice. The "velvet CUT as it is called.
