fifteen years your trees, you will find

and in fifteen years Is dollars a tree
and counting 1Os to the acre would
be equal to $1,000, and 100 acres
would be equal to $685. 900. Counting
your trees at $27 per acre is $27O0:
counting your land at $50, $4,000:
value of trees sl72, 900, value OF
trees and land $1,000, leaving a net
profit of $l64,30O. You may count
your trees at five dollars q tree, and
no one dare doubt that a low esti-
mate, which would leave you profit
Of $5l,333.33.
The crops on one hundred acres
will pay for cultivation and other
expenses.
We would further say that tree
raising is as yet in its infancy to
what it will be in the years to come.
See the broad expanse of territories
yet to be cultivated. The terrific
res of the United STAGES are large
empires, as will be seen by the area
they possess. What has been called
the Great American Desert, has OF
will turn out to be no desert at all.
The territories have an area greater
by 10000 square miles than that OF
all the admitted States in the I'm

making business. In a few years

To preserve hams through the
summer, make a number of bags, q
little larger than your hams. After
the hams are well smoked, place
them in the bags, and get the best
kind Of sweet, well-nade hay; cuA it
with knife, and with your hankls
press it well around the hams in the
bags; tie the bags with strings, put
on q card OF the year, to show their
age, and hang them up in garrett OF
some dry room, and they will last
five years, and will be better for
boiling than on the day you hung
them up. This method costs but lit
tie, and the bags will last forty years.
No flies or bugs will trouble the
hams if the hay is well pressed
around them; the sweating Of the
hams will be taken up by the hay,
and it will impart u fine flavor to
the hams. The hams should DC
treated in this way before the hot
weather sets in.

Tho Canada Thistle.

A correspondent from Michigan,
50 years of age, referring to the
Illinois law for the extirpation OF
the Canada thistle, says: 'They
can never be cradicated from the
soil of Illinois. l have seen the
plant dug from the bottom ola grave
four feet deep, so deep is the root.
l have lived and fought the thistle
thirty years, and spent a great deal
of time in trying to get rid OF it,

chickens under her during the night;
take her off and put her in a box
with the young chickens u few
hours; then take the chickens awav

Sailing Asparagus.

Salt may be spread on asparagus
beds at any time during the season
in heavy or light doses, and with
out injury. When the salt is scat
tered on the surface in June or
July, it will save considerable work
all the rest Of the summer in hoe
ing and wedding, and at the same
time, plants, especially in young
beds, will thrive under such treat
mcnt. The salt will not only furn-
ish food, but will keep the surface
moist. Five or six years ago a
friend recommended the application
Of salt to paths to keep down weeds.
Experience proved that the salt
effected this result the first season
very we'll indeed, but the following
year the weeds appeared to flourish.
But what was strange about it was
that for three years after one could
see at glance any morning just
how far the salt was spread on each
walk from the dampness of the sur
face, when the other parts of the
walk were apparently dry.
The same experiment was tried
again still later, on another part of
the garden, and with the very same
result. 1t is, therefore, a reason
able conclusion to draw, that salt
has strong Lygrometric power, and
this moisture does have a marked
influence on vegetable growth, and
especially on the growth Of aspara-
gus. 1t may be spread on very
thick without injuring the plants.
We have frequently put salt two
inches in thickness on old asparagus
beds without checking the growth,
but there seemed no advantage in
these heavy doses. A light sprink-
ling, say a bushel to two rods square
will be quite enough for all prac-
teal purposes. This may be APP
piled, say every other year, to adj
vantage. Some gardeners use less
quantity, aud apply it every spring.

trees, shells, fish, birds, insects and
thousands of interesting objects
surround the farmers sons, but
they remain in ignorance of them,
simply because there is no one to
encourage closer acquaintance
with these wonders Of nature.
The farm, no matter where situa-
ted, is one vast museum, and it is
only those who either have no ca.
pabity or taste for enjoying the
beauties of nature, that complain Of
the lonesomeness of country life or
the unattractivencss Of farming. 1t
is the man, not his occupation or
position in this word that makes
life a success.-Neao Yorker.

Profit of Fruit Raising.

Few persons know the true value
of their fruit, and stop there to make
the estimate of their own little or
chard, and with what little labor
and expense every farmer could
have a small orchard of five or ten
acres. Ifyou talk with your neigh
Dor about. this, and ask him what
such and such tree Is worth, often
or fifteen years standing, he will tell
you five, ten, or twenty-five dollars.
Now we will make an estimate
Of ten, fifty or one hundred acres.-

A CnustIc CrItleisn,.

The cynical man who writes for the
Chicago Times, referring to Cough 8
lecture, un5urdens himself in the fol-
lowing fashion:
Mr.. Cough exercises a strong in
Auence over his hearers, but it is great
pity that all his fine rhetoric, pathos
and beautifully turned periods should go
for naught. Not but his fond admirers
appreciate all that he says; but what
is the use OF carrying coal TO Newcastle
Nine.teuths of his hearers never drank
a tumblerlul of liquor in all their life
A great many would never know that
there is any such thing AS intem-
perauce in the world, if Mr.. Cough,
under the inspiration OF fifty cents a
head, did not come round semiocca-
sionally to tell them of it. Your jolly
old bloat upon whom his cloquence
might exert beneficial effect, is never
seen among his fashionable auditors.
If he should accidentally stun Bile into
the hall or church, under the impression
that it was saloon, polite doorkeeper
would send him about his business in
shortest order. There is little danger of
the latter class ever coming within the
seductive influence of the eloquent ora
tors voice so long as fifty cents will
buy ten glasses of beer. If the Noble
gift of oratory-givon to some men, no
doubt, for grand purpose, often shame
fully abused-is ever to exercise its
proper influence, the scene must not be
gilded, rep,cushioned church, where
an every day sort of man dare not show
himself; but it will be in more acces-
sible resort, free to all. Paying for a
lecture on temperance is a good deal
like charging admittance to the house Of
God, on the Sabbath day, to hear the
word. To be temperate goes further
than any other one thing toward saving
man, both in this and the other world.
There are Credit Mohilier exceptions,
but the rule will be conceded, for, aside
from worldly point of view, strict con-
struers of the Bible must believe that
no drunkard can enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.

The Rncinr senson Of ISIS.

There have been great gaps made in
the ranks of horses since last fall The
mighty LoHgfellow will never again be
saddled on race track, nor will his old
opponent Kingfsher. Lyttleton and
Glenelg, too, are incapacitated for fur
ther training. But the majority OF those
who have done great things are well and
flourishing. Joe Daniels, Monarchist,
Harry Bassett, Alarm. Helnbold, Sauces
box, London, Abdel Koree, Alroy, Azure
ola, Ortolan, Tubman, Hubbard, Wood
bine, and other public favcrites are all
on the war path, and some rattling and
exciting struggles are sure TO be wit
messed when they meet. A change in the
weights has been made by the Saratoga
and Mammoth Park Associations, the
six-year old weight, which used to be l8
pounds, being reduced to III pounds,
which is now the maximum weight.
There is no doubt that the change will
be beneficial in one respect, as the old
horses formerly had a great disadvan-
tage. But it would have been wise
step for the associations to raise the
scale Of weights all through, SO az to
ohviate the difficulty which exists of
procuring good riders. The weight for
three.ye olds in the purse races is only
ninety pounds, far too small, aud it is OF
course next to impossible to get a good
rider at this weight The mania for fast
time is one reason for the low scale, and
there can be no obi bjection to having it
raised: 4 three,year that cannot carry
0pe hundred pounds two miles is not
worth the ezpanse Of training.
Not taking into account the four days
racing at Baltimore, as that cityis rather
beyond the limits Of the metropolitan
circuit we find that between the 7th of
June gnd the 18th Of August there will
be twenty-six days racing, during which
about ninety races will be contested.
Last year 34S race-horses ran at the
great meetings, two-thirds Of them in
New York State, and il ig certain there
will be even more this year. With
more horses in training than ever be-
fore knowH, with more money given to
be run for, and with the iperessipg taste
for this kind of sport among the people,
are we wrong in predicting that the
coming season will be far more brilliant
than any previous one2 Those who have
studied the subject will, We think, agree
with this opinion.
