PLANTING TREES FROM RICH AND PROM

IL plant taken from Il nursery of rich soil

One reason for this is, that in the latter

the principal or more frequent cause of th,.
difference lies in the fact that the trees
raised in poor soil make more growth

APRIL'S FREAK.

When April still was young.
And full OF her tricks and wiles
Often frowning and sad,
again all grace and sm lies -
One day TO herself she said,
Il Will feign I. at am dead.
"The sun and the Wind will mourn,
For they love me well know;
will hear what they say ofme
In my drapery OF snow"
So silently IN the night.
She clothed herself in white.
The sun rose up in the morn
And looked from east to westl
And April lay still and white.
Then he called the Wind from his rest,
&" Sigh and lament" he said,
" sweet April the child is dead!
a she that was always fair,
Behold how viii e she lice .
Cover the golden hair,
Close down the beamIng eyesl
One last time let me KISS thee;
Sweet April, we shall miss theel
The sun touched his lips to her cheek,
And The color returned in glow;
The Wind laid his hand on her hair,
AS il glstened under the snow,
As, laughing around in her glee,
Sweet April shook herself free.

BUTTER AND CHEESE DAIRYING.-We
nave watched with great interest the prog
ress of the " dairymen's conventions
which were held during the month of Jan
larv. Feeling the Importance of these
Institutions to the interests represented by
them we devoted some time to attend
them. We may say that we were partic
lIarly intereste and gratified with the en-
roy, enterprise, and intelligence exhibited
" the Associated Dairymen. The pa
pers read at these meetings We're OF
rreat merit and usefulness, and the speech
rs and discussions which followed the re-
marks of the orators We're marked by the
rreat practical experience and intelligence.
This fact promises well for the continued
lccess of the dairy interest which now
rep 'esents an annual value of nearly 800
millions of dollars. he cheese manuflc-

THE HIDDEN LIFE.
BY GEORGE MACDONALD.

One shining day,
Shining with sun and snow he came and sad
What think you, father--is death very sore?'
" My 6oys the father answered 1--WE Will try
To make it easy with the present God,
But, as judge though more by hope than signt
1t seems much harder to the lockers on
Than to the man who dies. Each parting breath
We call gasp, may be to him who knows
A sigh of pleasure; or. at most, the sob
With which the unc othed spirit, step by step,
Wa les foI Tn into the cool, eternal sea.
think my boy, death has two sides to it
One sunny and one dark; as the round earth
Is every day half sunny and half dark:
We, on the dark side, call The mystery death;
They the other looking down in light,
Wait the glad birth, with other tears than ours"
" BE near me, father, when DIE" he said.
" ] Will my boy, unit better Father
Draws your hand out of mine. Draw near in turn
When my time comes. you in the light hey ond,
And knowing all about all dark"

PETROLEUM On SHINGLES.-Q. Is it
safe to oil shingles with crude petroleum,
putting %, 900 shingles on one roof? will
it not catch FIRE by the burning heat of the
sun in the hottest seasOn?-A. We find it
il common opinion that petroleum makes
shingles more intiammable, and we see
this opinion urged by some of our more
intelligent agricultural journals. They
would be more inhammable if the oil re-
manned at the surface us it does not, but
Immediately penetrates the wood. 1t is
unlike any other oil in this respect. One
coat will penetrate pine fourth of an inch
literally, and nearly an inch lengthwise

wood itself, rendering it more compact
1t will thus change pine or blsswood to

liability in shingles to form Il fuzz on the
surface by the acton of the weather, and
rather decreases than otherwise the ten
| dtncy to take fire. We have made repeat
ed trials by holding oiled and uuole,l
| shingles near or in flame, and found the
unolled quite as liable to catch as the
other. The heat Of the sun is of course
perfectly inadequate to produce combus-
ton in them. We may mention an add-
tional proof that the oil penetrates entirely
the pores of the wood in the fact that on
oiling the roof of Il dwelling, the first rain

oil, bat was nearly pure; but if, like some
other oils, it had remained on the surface
