The Value of Timber Trees.

IT will not be long before tree planting
for profit will be a necessity. All over the
country timber is being searched for and
some kinds of timber bring very large
prices. Among the scarce kinds is the
black walnut This is now SO valuable
that in some districts considerable tact is
resorted to in order to keep down the price
of the trees and bring in large profits to
the saw mill proprietors. An Indianapo
lis paper says the way it is done in that
part Of the world is to quietly locate a
saw mill in a secluded nook; and after
this has been made secure, an agent quiet
ly goes around from farm to farm and asks
the price of any fine walnut tree that may
be standing on the property AS general
thing the owner has not been educated up
to the value of timber, and it is quite like
ly it goes at low offer. The privilege OF
letting it stand year is secured, and at
once the buyer takes machine from his
pocket, blazes smooth place, and puts
his initials with the date of purchase, and
the tree becomes his-he paying part
cash Or all cash, as the case may be, on
the purchase. Some people, who read the
papers, and thus get an inkling of what a
tree is worth, get very fair prices for the
trees. The average between those who
value trees and those who do not brings
the price to about $40 per tree
One agent in single county in Indiana
has thus quietly bought, in three months,
trees to the amount of $4,000. These
people buy walnuts chiefly, but also use
up any timber tree that comes in their
way. Next to walnut, the tulip poplar is
in request.
There is no doubt but, as we have more
than once suggested recently, the time
will soon come when timber planting will
pay handsomely AT present if one has
timber on his farm it hardly enters into
account in the purchase when sold But
as soon as there is an evident demand for
timber it will be different, and young
plantation will be valued as railroad
stocks now are, in proportion to the near
ness Of time when dividend may be
drawn from it. Now a railroad share
may be nominally worth $50, but as it
does not pay dividend it sells at perhaps
$25; but as year by year the business OF
the road approaches nearer a dividend
the value of the share increases, until
when it earns money over its expenses
the stock sells above its par figure. And
it will be SO with timber trees Now PEG.
pie are often afraid to plant for fear, on a
sale, it would not be counted as of any
value. But with this growing appreci
alton it will be held as any other stock is
and the nearer it approaches a saleable
size the more will it be valued, and the
more it will bring.
This is. feature which may be en-
couragingly dwelt on, in addition to what
we have recently shown, that it is not SC
long as many people suppose before a
plantation comes into actual profit

How, to Make a Farm Pay.

We are often asked by young farmers
and gardeners what they had best grow.
and how best to proceed in order to make
money at their occupations. This seems
simple sort Of question. It is almost
impossible to tell another how to make
money. The man whom we generally say
is successful is usually the one who has
quickness and sound judgment enough to
take advantage at once of circumstances
as they arise; and as no one can foresee
these circumstances, no one can tell any,
thing about them. But, for all this, there
are general principles, and, so far as the
culture of the soil is concerned principles
which in the long run are sure to tell
measurably on success. ~.
One of the best of these solid founda-
tons is thorough love of the pursuit
There are some men who go on the land
because they believe there is money in it,
and for no other reason. Once in while
such one succeeds. The most of these
people do little more than become com
Portable. The majority fall through. It
is not SO with the one whose heart and
soul is in it. He does not always succeed.
Sometimes even the greatest enthusiast
fails. But Of hundred men who follow
agricultural pursuits because they love
| them, as compared with a hundred who
are led into them by the money phase, the
preponderance Of wealth is largely with
the former class. One who has no great
love tor the pursuit is easily disheartened /;
but the one who loves it continues on in
spite of disaster, and soon finds out that
| the experience gained by his losses is
really worth more to him than success
would have been.
But another and great principle of sue
cess is the ability to withstand the temp
tation to part with the last dollar Many
farmer has been ruined by profitable
crop. The gains were large, and without
| waiting to consider the chances of
| another such streak Of good luck, the
whole profits are re-invested and debts in
Cured on the faith of those future sue
cesses which never come This is gen
orally the starting point of ones down
ward career. Very often there is but a
temporary fall in the price of grain or
other articles of farm produce; but the
| debts are due and must be paid, and thus
the crop has to be marketed at whatever
sacrifice, and this sacrifice being often
more than the whole profit of the former
year.

the soil the writer ever knew, and who is

Diseases in Potatoes.

People speak of and newspapers write
about the cattle disease, the horse disease
the potato disease; and when there is any
| remarkable disease travelling through a
country at some particular time, it is def
mite enough for all practical purposes
But yet it leads to confusion at times, and
| we have again exemplified the Babelish
experience of people not understanding
one another's tongue. 4 ms
| When reference is made to the potato
disease in our own country, we may be
speaking of or reading about two very
distinct things. One is caused by a small
| beetle, about the size of grain Of wheat,
which deposits an egg in the potato stem
soon after the potato is above the ground.
This egg comes to small grub or cater
! pillar, which eats out the heart Of the
potato stem, and this then willis up under
hot suns, and dies away before the pota-
toes are half grown, when the potato
| tubers cease to grow any more, and the
| product is almost worthless.
Another disease is caused by the
growth of species of zynotic fungus,
as those are called which promote Ter
mentation. If we have cider, or other
vegetable juices, we can keep them pure
for a long time if we keep them from the
"
| or introduce little yeast, which con
tains this fungus, it soon operates on the
whole mass. These small fermenting
fungi, when they get a Judgment in the
potato plant, cause fermentation in pre-
cisely the same way. They are bred in
the atmosphere, and are taken into the
plants system through the leaves of the
plant This is proved by the fact that it
has been found to travel from place to
place at about fifty miles day, or as fast
as the average wind understanding
fast and sometimes almost a dead calm,
and does not wait for rain to carry the
germs into the ground, as one would sup
pose from the tubers rottings This is
what most of US understand by the dis
ease, and it is the one which SO badly de-
Vastates the potato crops of England and
Ireland at times. But the potato disease
OF France is very different thing from
any of these, and has probably as yet made
It's appearance nowhere outside Of that
country. In this case the set sends up
only threadlike stems, and these yield ex-
ceedingly diminutive tubers, and every eff
fort to make the plants grow strong and
vigorous, when they are affected in this
manner, fails. $500 al ad aa 1H M
There is, we believe, still another seri-
Gus potato disease in Europe; but we see
from what has been said that it will soon
be as necessary to be as specific in nam
ing the peculiar diseases Of plants as it is
in reference to the diseases of animals.
At present we have not got much further
than to speak of blight, and rot, and mil
dew, and rust There is evidently much
more behind all these.-Forney's Weekly
