Provision in Forest Tree Culture for
Minor Heirs.

I can not help believing that there
must be very large profit in setting
our abandoned lands in any or all the
following named trees Hickory, pc
can, ash, walnut, cherry, sugar maple,
yellow locust and Usage orange. The
three first are in great demend for
handles for cutlery, the three following
for fancy work of all kinds, and the two
last for the construction of wheeled
vehicles. If Tennessee is ever to be
the great manufacturing center we hope
for, her forests must be preserved from
further wanton destruction, and also an
additional supply of valuable woods
planted for posterity. An old field,
getting poorer every day, almost worth
compound interest, may not be an en-
ticing inheritance to be delivered TWEEN
ty years hence to the infant of to-day.
But stud it with trees and carpet it
with sod of grass, and let these grow
up with the child then few acres
will be a fortune to commence with.
Certainly any father, imbued with a
decent share of pride and humanity,
would feel happy to know that his
wisdom, foresight and energy had thus
so easily rendered his child free from
the necessity of half lifetime of cease
less toll, in order to procure the COM
forts of life. 1t is a provision of espe-
cial Importance to young daughters, for
it needs but little if any attention after
the first three years, continues to grow
as they do, is subject to no calamities,
and they can not be swindled out of it.
Certainly these virtues are greater than
can be claimed for any sort of bonds or
bank stock, and appeals to the rich
father as well as the poor one.-SiJas

Sheep-Killing Dogs.

ct would like to keep sheep on my
billy farm" writes a correspondent,
"but am afraid of the dogs. Is there
any remedy ?" There are three RENE
dies: 1. If there is a tax on dogs in
your state see tnat it is enforced in
your neighborhood. 2. If there is no
dog law in your state vote for no man
who will not pledge himself to do all
he can to have one enacted 3. Let all
the sheep men in the neighborhood
form themselves into an association.
Let nothing be done to crafty personal
spite but if a suspicious dog is found
providing about the farm shoot him.
Then if the owner can prove damages,
let the associationpay him and repeat the
process. City and village dogs must be
kept at home. They are often abused
and half-starved, and it would be a
mercy to give them one good meal of
mutton, with a liberal allowance of
strychnine in it. The neighbors might
be told that this feast was provided
solely for visitors, so that they can keep
their dogs at home. A good plan to
adopt is, when a sheep dies, dress it
and wash it with water containing few
tablespoon-fuls of crude carbOnic acid
1t will preserve the meat for months.
Cut it up into joints and hang it up, and
you will always have pcice of mutton
on hand for hungry dog that may visit
you from the city or village or swamp.
If this work is done Systematically and
constantly it will have wholesome eff
feet. It is rarely that well-bred and
well-fed dog attacks sheep, and it is not
often that such dogs wander far from
home at night. If there are any good
dogs in the neighborhood inform the
owners of the fact that you have set a
trap for the half-starved providers from
the city, and that they had better fasten
theirs up at night. In this way no
harm is likely to be done.-Anaerican

Abandoned Cotton Lands.

The Mobile correspondent of the New
York World, writing under date of July
IL, says "The question of the per-
centage of acreage of land originally
planted in cotton which has been aban-
doned in the cotton states, is an impor-
tant one in estimating the probable
yield of cotton this year. According to
the recent, the second, crop report of
the cotton exchange of this city, Sc
rious loss from this cause has been en-
tailed. The report publishes data from
only three states, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee. In Alabama the aban-
doned acreage is variously estimated at
from to 25 per cent. of the whole ave-
rage for the state, 10 per cent. In Mis-
sissippi the percentage of abandonment
of original planting is about per cent.
in the average for the eighteen counties
heard from. In both these states the
replanting has been to limited extent
only. Full 10 per cent. of abandon
ment is reported from Gibson county,
the single county heard from in Ten
nessee. If the same proportions as
those noted above should hold good in
the case of all the cotton states, it is
easy to perceive that this abandonment
of cotton lands must operate largely,
among other adverse agencies, against
even an average yield. The report,
which includes dates up to July 1,
states, however, that since the intelli-
received from the three states was pre-
pared, other and more favorable &C
counts have been received from various
sections, which state that fine weather
in many places has enabled the planters
to kill the grass and place the land in a
proper condition for the growth of the
cotton"

A Domestic Tragedy and it's Moral

When a woman puts three mackerel to
soak over night in a dish-pan whose
sides are eight inches high, and leaves
the pan on stairway, she has accom-
plished her mission and should go hence.
This was what Division street woman
did, Friday night. Filled the pan at the
pump, and then left it standing on the
steps to the stoop, while she went into
the next house to see how many buttons
would be required to go down the front
of redingote. And a mighty impor-
tant affair that was to be sure. And
there was her husband tearing through
the house in search of a handkerchief,
and not finding it, of course. And then
he rushed out into the yard, wondering
where on earth that woman could be,
and started down the steps without see
ing the pan, or even dreaming that any
one could be so idiotic as to leave it
there. Of course he stepped on it; or,
at least, that is the supposition, as the
neighbors who were brought out by the
crash that followed, saw Mortified man,
and high dish-pan, and three very de-
moralized mackerel shooting across the
garden, and smashing down the shrub
berry. And he was nice sight, was that
unhappy man, when they got him on his
feet. There wasn't dry threadon hi :,
and his hair was full of bits of macke-
rel, and one of his shoulders was ont of
joint, and his coat was split the whole
length of the back, and he appeared to
be out of his head. He was carried into
the house by some of the men, and laid
on bed, while others went after the
doctor, and sixteen women assembled in
the front room, and talked in whispers
about the inscrutable ways of Provi-
dence, and what warning this was to
people who never looked where they

The nutritive value of all food de-
ponds much upon the amount of gluten
which it contains, as this is the sub
stance which goes to form muscle. The
proportions of gluten in whole grain,
bran, and fine flour are as follows :
Whole grain, twenty per cent; bran,
fourteen per cent; fine -four, ten per
cent. By sitting out the bran we, there
fore, render the -four less nutritious as
well as less wholesome. As bran con-
stitutes from one-eighth to one-fourth
of the whole weight of wheat, on the
average one-sixth, there is a great waste
of muscle-forming material by boiling.
True, it may go for the nourishment of
inferior animals, but it sells for less
price, does less good, and thus used is a
drawback on the just profits of the
farmer. As compensation for this loss
in the sale of his wheat and flour, the
farmer should use all his bran in feed
ing his stock, and if he purchases the
bran of his neighbors, those who live
in Illinois or California, or any other
country where manure is a nuisance,
both his stock and his farm will be bene-
flied. Wheat bran may not put as
much fat on cattle as does corn-meal, as
it does not contain so much starch and
oil, but it will produce more muscle
and more bone. We have seen that it
contains more gluten muscle materially
than fine -four, and if we burn any given
weight of bran and fine meal we shall
find that the amount of ash Ozone mate
rial is at least six times as much in the
former as in the latter. As it is this
inorganic matter which is so much
needed on our old soils, farmers can in
no more economical way renovate their
old lands than by feeding bran heavily
to .-NOrthaUestern Farmer.

~ managed, and this too with little Ia

raise them after early potatoes by plow-
ing as soon as the potatoes are dug.
Any time in July will answer, or even
as late as the 10th of August. After
rOtted manure, with a sprinkling OF
wood ashes. Sow the seed broadcast at
the rate of a pound to the acre, and if
sown just before a shower they will
need no bushing. As soon as the plants
are up scatter upon them a little plas-
ter, two or three bushels per acre is suf-
fcient, and this is all the attention they
will require till harvest time, about the
LIST of November. A good mode of
raising English turnips is to turn over
piece of sod land after haying, top
dress and proceed as before If the
grass land is too wet to pillow in the
spring, July generally furnishes an OPP
portunity, and, if it is desired, the
land can be restocked with grass-seed
at the same time the turnips are sown.
We have restocked with grass, in con-
nection with turnips, with great sue
cess. The variety we prefer is the red
top strap-leafed. OF course, it will not
keep as well as the Swedes, but it is
better table turnip till February and
sometimes till March 1t is too late
to put in the Swedes this year, but If
bookkeeping turnip is desired, and one
of excellent quality, also, both for feed
ing and eating, it can be found in the
Aberdeen, which is grown also in the
same manure, as the strap-leafed. No
sort can pc raised with less labor than
either of those varieties, and they will
put bones into your stock, feeh into
old, and health into both young and old.
