Chamber OF Commerce places that honorable

could they allow things to be so cut and
dried as to evade the question at issue ? can
a few designing men lead and influence the

the character of the merchants here if they

The Charleston Ne,cs and Courier tells of
two thousand houses and lots recently for

thirty thousand acres have been forfeited in

suppos people would lose their property
in this manner, or incur heavy costs, if they
could sell or otherwise avoid tax-sales. The
simple truth is, people pay as long as they
have OF can get money, and hope against
hope till they are ruined.

do modify climate; that they tend to
equalize the rainfall, though they do not
affect the amount Of the annual rainfall
over large scope of country. Hence,
the cultivation of timber is getting to be
acknowledged as one of the most important
industries in countries destitute OF, or III
supplied with, trees; first, because of their
influence on climate and vegetation, and
second, because scarce commodities are
always valuable.
In this view of the subject few hints
on the proper conditions necessary to the
termination of the seeds of trees will not
be without interest. OF trees that will
bear transportation and transplantation
readily we will not speak at present, since
the seeds of this class of trees terminate,
as rule, readily; but the hard-shelled,
nutbearing trees, as the hickory, black
walnut, butternut, ETC., sometimes do not
terminate readily; never the first season,
unless submitted to the action of frost
and moisture during the winter pre-.
vious
If the nuts are gathered in the fall,
when mature, placed on the ground and
covered with leaves, or other substance
favoring fermentation, the husks will soon
become sufficiently decayed SO that the
nuts can be place in well-drained boxes,
mingled with five or six times their bulk
of moist sand. They should then be
placed where they will be subjected to the
action of frost through the winter. If
planted in the spring in direct lines, four
inches deep, they will terminate, a large
proportion of them, the first year. Acorns
will all terminate the first year if sound,
and that portion of the hard-shelled nuts
that does not grow the first year will do
so carly the next.
In planting everything except oak and
hickory the Western Rural advises drill
| ing three feet apart between rows and
pretty thickly in the row and transplant
| ing at the end of two years; but for oak
and hickory plant three by three feet, in
| check rows. The cultivation will be the
same as for corn, except that they must
| be hoed at least once; more if the land is
| very weedy. The cultivation, however,
until the plants get above ground may
| be done entirely with the harrow with the
teeth slanted back, provided the soil is,
as it should be, in fine filth. The object
| in planting close is that the trees sooner
shade the soil and grow more upright
and without many side branches. When
they begin TO crowd each other they may
be thinned out and the poles will soon
begin to pay for the labor.
Another advantage with planted tim
Der is that you have just such kinds as
you want and nine-tenths of your land is
| not numbered with comparatively worth
| less timber that does not more than pay
for the cutting.
In following this plan for raising tim
Der it is necessary to plant the nuts as
soon as the soil is in condition in the
spring, else they may sprout in the boxes.
| III the land be thoroughly plowed in the
fall it will forward this work fully a
week, and if the spring is wet and un-
toward, much more than week West
