Setting out Trees by the Roadside

The growth of timber to take
the place of oar rapidly disappear
ing forests, has led farmers in some
sections to set out trees. While it
may not be convenient or desirable
for all to adopt this plan, every one
can set trees by the roadside along
his own land. There are many adj
vantages to be derived from them,
which can be seen at once to more
than pay for the trouble. They
beautify the premises, and give u
better appearance to the landscape.
And if the trees are maple, which
are the best, and the most easily
raised, when grown they will fur
nish large yield of maple sugar.
If buitcrnut or walnut, the nuts are,
in Il measure, Il compensation tor
setting them out. There is to be in
the future such demand for wood,
that it will not answer to cut down
and not replace IN some way. In
Baden, and in other German States,
rs we'll as in some of the countries
OF France, the law obligcs n person
to plant tree in place Of every one
cut down. In this way, miles of
rows Of shade trees line the roads,
making pleasant, shaded walks
through all the towns and villages.
1t is a fact not generally known,
that trees increase their wood ma
king capacity in about the ratio, rs
the square Of the number of years
Indicate their age. The third year
they make nine times, the fifth year
twenty times, and thetcnth year one
hundred times the amount of wood
they make the first year. The tree
grows more rapidly as it gets older,
and we cannot afford to cut them
down until they get their growth.
Some towns in this section have
already formed associations for
beautifying their towns by planting
parks and setting out trees by the
roadside. If this is not done, indl-
viduals can, with but little trouble
and without expense, procure trees
and set out in front of their own
lands, and stimulate their nelghbors
to do the same, so as to make uni
form and continuous line of shade
trees along the roadsidc.--Ner E''g-

The proprletors of THE REGISTER. having learn
ed from experience what newspaper should be
to suit the people of Iowa, enter upon the ne
year with increased facilities for the collection

We need not say that Politically it will be Re

its powers shall be lent to the aid OF pure, old
fashioned Repubicanism, which never changes
any more than liberty changes. Devoted to the

Fruit Growers Prospects.

Fruit Growers Prospects.
Fruit Of all kinds has been low
+ Dc past season, and good many
fruit growers are grumbling and are
discouraged. But is fruit the only
farm crop that is low? How is it
with the corn grower, the oats
grower, the pork producer? Are
not all their commodities equally
low? 1t is true, they are discour
aged. But, because their products
are low this year, shall they say,
We will no longer raise corn, oats
or hogs? One production may be low
one year, and it is not right to give
up any. The proper way for the
farmers is to pursue system Of
mixed husbandry. He should not
throw all his strength into any one
crop. He should raise variety
not to great a variety, but such
crops as will not interfere with one
another. He ought to raise some
grain, and he ought to have good
orchard, also. He should raise some
hogs to sell, and cattle, also, or
sheep, or horses, or some of all Of
them-though one has generally
better success in making special
ity of some particular kind Of stock,
especially if he talks pains in breed
ing from it.
We see no reason why fruit
should continue permanently low.
The past season was remarkable
one. There has never been such an
abundant crop Of fruit all over the
country. There was a remarkable
Withholding OF late spring i'rosts,
and north, east, south and west of
st. Louis, on the line Of every rail
road, there was 4 large crop OF
fruit. This found its way TO the
st. Louis market, and glut was
the consequence. Such season we
are not likely to have again in q
score of years. Fruit was never so
low before as this year, and it is
not likely to he so low again. Then
the facilities for shipping fruit north
are yearly improving, as is also t c
demand for fruit, and the market
demand will yearly increase, Re
munerative returns may be expect
ed, and we look for as good prices
for good fruits as other crops will
receive in proportion.
We beg our fruit-growing friends
not to be discouraged. 1t may be
well enough to have some other
strings to their bows, if they are
able to have them. And there is
nothing much better adapted to be
an adjunct to a fruit farm than a
small dairy. More or less help IS
required about fruit, as there is
about the dairy, and they work to-
gethcr very well. The truth is, we
have been planting too largely. If
we had planted fewer trees, and Ia
ken better care of them, it would
have been better for us. The Sc
crct OF success IN tru't-SfoWinS, as
in everything else, is unwearied
care and attention. Many think
that if a tree is put out, that is the
end of it; but it is no such thing.-
1t needs almost rs much nursing as
an infant. The ground must be
plowed, and rcplowcd, and then
plowcd again. Judgment must be
used in pruning and Shipping. The
insects that intcsj the trees or fruit
must be destroyed. Every want of
the tree must be supplied. Trees
thus cultured will thrive and be 4
pleasure and profit to the owner
Ones heart must be in the work if
he would be a successful fruit grow

A Snake and where it was Found

The Lawrence Democratic Standard tells
the following remarkable snake story:
Considerable excitement was OCCASION
cd in this city o short time since by a sin
gular case, and its remarkable treatment
by noted local clairvoyant medicine wo-
man. The lady physician Of whom we
write possesses considerable shredwness,
and is generally successful in the treat
ment of cases brought to her notice. She
is, withal, reported to be o pleasing man.
ner and speech, and ofcomely appearance.
She has had to deal with some difficult ca
SEES the hardest being brought to her, af-
ter treatment elsewhere, for relief. She
was not, then, surprised when one morn
ing rather good-looking colored girl was
brought to her for treatment. The trouble
was of an extraordinary nature. The
friends of the girl were alarmed and
her acquaintance, to the number Of
about one hundred, besought tho clairvoy-
ant to afford her relief. The medium at
once threw herself into "the state,' and the
white eyebrows of her dusky audience
protruded in amazement when it was an
nounced that the girl had swallowed o
snake-that the dreadful commotion felt
below the wastband Of the suffering pa
tient was nothing more nor less than the
wiggling of an enormous serpent. APP
pearancos favored the idee Of the ia it'll
full clairvoyant. The troubled girl had
grown to an enormous size, and other in
dicatiOns showed plainly that no ordinary
disease had taken possession of her. The
question arose, how did that dreadful
snake, unknown to the patient, find lis
way to her stomach. But there it was,
sure enough. And then the question forced
itself upon her friends how shall we re lave
her ; This the clairvoyant promised to do.
Her treatment was simple. The girl must
eat very little-in fact she must almost
starve herself and the snake must DO
driven forth by hunger. The treatment
was commenced. Little food was fur.
nished, and the girl was made to sit for
hours during the day and night with q
pan Of milk just in front Of her, placed
there to tempt his snakeship forth. But
he didn't come. The girl grew thin and
weak, but this time the wriggling monster
would not be tempted. His Internal slash
ing around grew more psroeptible as the
poor girl grow weak from hunger. HUI.
man nature could stand it no longer, and
the patient took to her bed. Still the faith
full clairvoyant attended her, and the milk
dish was always near. The girl grew
worse, but food was denied her, and tho
snake was expected to leap forth at any
moment. In fact one bright.eyed little
colored girl declared that she saw the head
of the monster dart out fiom the mouth Of
our suffering friend and quickly disap-
pear again. This was when no one else
was looking. One morning the clairvoy-
ant was called. Everything was commo-
tiOn in the house of the sufferer. The
snake had come during the night and cried
for milk the first thing. 1t was boy
snake, weighing seven poundsl The mat
ter is kept profound secret. We hope
our readers will not divulge it.
