TREE PLANTING.

With the rapid destruction of our forest trees,
it is none tsO early to agItate the biect of
placing the trees by cultivation in some practi-
cal form This subject is receiving special at
tenton in some parts of the West, aud indivi-
dual farmers communities, and clubs. are set
ting out trees large scale; will il pay in
New England The production of wood for fuel
and mechanical purposes, would, no doubt, have
a greater interest but for the too vague ideas of
the slOwneSs of tree growth. There are trees
that with proper cultivation will grow very
rapidly; some, it is sad will acquire a crcumfe-
renee in five years of from eight to ten inches.
With this rapidity of growth, it is easily seen
that a few acres in short time, with the pros
pect of a scarcity and high price of timber,
would make a valuable produce. We mention
different kinds of trees which are especially
valuable for their wood and fruit which are cas-
lily cultivated. One is the chestnut, which is al
ready specially with nursery-me who pro-
vide the small trees. But they can be grown
from the seed. This kind of tree is adapted TO
rough, untillable land much of which has been
cleared up and is now going to waste. The ma
pie, which is of little slower growth than the
chestnut, yet grows rapidly, and the wood is
very valuable; some varieties especially
adapted to wet, swampy lands. For ornamen
tai foliage aud for the sugar, the maple should
be one of the most popular, and the timber is
getting to be almost as valuable for mechanical
purposes of the foreign woods. 1t was
once stated that ash tree in this country made
over three thousand rake-handles. The tree
was seventy feet high without limb. We have
thus spoken of forest-tree culture as 4 source of
profit, and much more will be said, are sure,
of the practicablity of this culture after it has
been tried, for it is comparatively a new subject,
and needs at least to be Experimental upon to
get the facts. That it will pay, on small or
large scale, there can be question, if there
was no other object but to raise trees for their
timber-but we want more trees for their fruit
for their shade and protection, for fuel, and
especially for this climatic influence; for the de-
structiom of our forests has unquestionably had
the effect TO turn away the fall of rain, causing
the drying up of springs, and the decrease of
supply for our water power fed by the small
streams. If trees We're planted on the hill tops
of New England, they would break the force of
storms, shielding from the winds, and increase
the fall of rain. Tree planting by the wayside
or in the orchards should receive more attention
and it may become a department in agriculture
which will be as successful as any other-Ner

Mseful aud Curious.
Guard ,he u..r,h or school Girl.

The following is from the report of the super
intendent of Education in Massachusetts:
The vigorous and effective system of military
drill provided for all boys in onr High Schools
has, in my Judgment, been of incaleulable adj
vantage; and its moral results have been no less
than its physical effects. Ii is good, both for
those who command and those who obey. sun
feel bound to say, and to say it with emphasis,
that there is great room for improvement IN
physical culture We ought to aim, not merely
to avoid injuring the health of pupils while car
rying on their instruction in our schools, but to
Increase their physical culture, strength and
beauty. ] dare call that system of education a
failure which sends ont into the world, to hight
the battles of its finished graduates, with mar
row shoulders, fiat chests, crooked spines, pale
faces, weak muscles and low vital energy. our
boys receive less physical injury from their
schooling than girls. Nature helps the boys
more. The boy manages to get some wholesome
play. But the poor girl is easily crushed under
the terrible weight of school lessons. Her strong
love of appreciation, given to her for wise pur-
pose, is easily made to work her physical ruin
by the machinery of examination. L do not hesl-
tate to tell any mother in Boston that In the pres
ent state of things the head of Il class in school
is not a very safe ar desirable place for girl 10
occupy. In conclusion, urge two items OF I'M
mediate reform in this matter: First, that the
rules in regard TO the house lessons be rightly
enforced: and second, that our High School girls
shall no longer be carrying home daily, tor
study large bundles of class books.

Ts RoiI Corned Reef.

If the piece is very salt, let it soak over night.
If young beef, and properly corned, this is I'M
necessary. For boiling, throw cold wafer over
it after washing of the salt, letting the meat be
well covered. The rule is twenty-five minutes
to a pound for boiling meats, but cOrned beef
should never be boiled; it should only simmer
by being placed on a part of the range where the
simmering can be uninterrupted from four to
six hours, according to the size of the piece. If
it is to be served cold, let the meat remain in
the liqnor until cold. Tough beef can be made
tender by letting it remain in the liquor until
the next day, and then bringing it to the boiling
point just before serving. For rump pieces this
is superior method. A Brisket or platepiece
may be smmered until the bones can be easily
removed, then fold over the brisket piece. for
ming a square or oblong piece; tie over it Il
piece of muslin, place sufficient weight top to
press it where it will become cold. This gives
MS firm, solid piece, which eaten in slices, is a
delightful relish.

Pins vs., Kiyets,

The method Of making all the parts of bridge
peculiarly American. The plan still followed in
Europe is that of using rivets, which makes the
erection of a bridge take much more time, and
cost, consequently, much more A riveted lat
tice bridge one hundred and sixty feet in span
requires ten or twelve days for its erection,
while one of the Ph9nixville bridges of this size
has been erected in eight aud half hours. In
consequence of this method of working Ameri-
can iron bridges. despite the higher price of onr
iron, can successfully compete in Canada with
bridges of English or Belgian construction. The
American iron bridges lighter than those of
other nations, but their. absolute strength is as
great, since the weight which is saved is all dead
weight, and not necessary to the solidity of the
structure. The same difference is displayed here
that is seen in our carriages with their 81, nder
wheels, as compared with the numbering, heavy
wagons of European construction.

Colorado as a Cure-AIi.

Much, and probably too much, is claimed for
Colorado regarding the beneficial effects of its
climate upon various diseases, especially those
of a pulmonary character. Many sufferers in
the East come here only to die in a strange land
instead of recovering as they had delusively
been led TO believe. Some of orr philanthrop-
ic citizens, with the view of putting forth facts
for the afflicted of the world regarding the ef-
fects of Colorado climate upon disease, have re-
Gently held several meetings, appointed commit
tees, and collated facts which go far toward Civ
ing enlightenment as to who should and who
should not come when afflicted with any consti-
tutional ailmeDt At one of the meetings held ,

and who had been either entirely cured or great

testimony of each and all who had suffered was
universal as to the great and speedy effects of
the climate Of Colorado upon asthma. Some of

may be sooner. Lard should never be used on
a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work
its way around the tendons of the spokes and
spoil the wheel Castor oil is II good material

Permaueuey Of Orchard GrH...

There have been frequent discussions during
the past year as to the value of orchard grass
against timothy. 1t seems to yield a greater
weight per acre than timothy, but cattle are not
so fond of it, and it never brings the same price
For fifty years more there have been the
strongest forts made to bring it into general use
as the great hay grass; bnt it has not succeeded
in driving out timothy. When its unpopularity
with horsekeepers in cities is referred to- il is
usual to say that it is owing to the stubbornuess
of city feeders. They have become accustomed
to timothy, and are therefore prejudiced against
anything else. But we are satisfied that the
horse really does protest against the change and
this will always be against its general use.
Still it is valuable as a permanent grass
that, as COW hay, or for home feeding it will al
ways hold its own. In regard to its permanence
Mr.. Lewis +. Allen, one of our most celebrated
New York farmers, says:
We have q field of il, on n strong. sandy loam
which has stood for more than thirty years. 1t
has been cut for soiing; it has been cut for hay;
it has been pastured; it was first sown with red
clover and timothy, which it run out, and, al
though the white clover and blue grass venture
their presence to limited extent among it, the
orchard grass maintains its supremacy, and,
breast high at maturity, lords it over its di-
minutive trespassers in a bounteOus crop, while
its humber attendants, good in their place,
mOdestly fill up a great nutritious underground
at the bottom No grass which we have ever
grown has yielded so heavy swath as this, nor
one from which much cattle food to the acre
can be grown, aside from lueerne, which our
American climates will not consecutively, year
after year produce.
This permanent character gives it an advan-
tage in orchards, where do not wish to dis
turb the roots of the fruit trees and where we
want the grass to continue for many years. But
in regular rOtative system of farming we do
not want the grass fields for hay but few years,
and timothy therefore, is as good for this pnr-
pose one which will last longer. Each grass
has its advantages, but for general purposes we
suppose timothy will, for long time TO come, be
the leading hay grass of America.-PhH. Weekly
