 The Westerrss Rural. reiterates the truth that ss to get the best results from the cultivation, of crops of the yariougd kinds, from one-fifth to one-fourth of the land should be in forests" <s Fresh stable manure should not be used for potatoes in any way old de- composed manure will benefit the crop. no matter how it is applied. If you have a sufficient quantity to top dress the field, the best way is to scatter the manure evenly over the ground after blowing, and harrow it in. If you Lave but little, spread it in the furrows, drop the sets directly on it, and cover with soil. 5 ss. :I11 1t1.1, ?

 Es4 Care o4 Forests.
 A message of the President has brought before Congress an important measure for the preservation of our forests. Atthe Portland meeting of the American Association for the Advance ment of Science, that body empowered committee to memorialize Congress- on this subject. The memorial recoml z mends the appointment of some man of J improved scientific and practical acl qualnfance with the subject as a Com missioner of Forestry. His duties will be to investigate the consumption,
 Importation, and exportation. of timber. sIfhe means for it's preservation and rel snewal,s the Influence of forests upon climate, and. the experience of foreign counties in these matters, There can be no doubt that prompt action is needL ed to save our forest lands from denul Sdatlon. The expense of measures hav- Ing this in view would probably be soon rem bursed by the increase of valuable timber and the economy In the use of what still remains. Even if 8 Forest Commission does little else than enforce existing laws, so as the check the prodlgal waste by axe and fire that is now taking place, great good will be accomplished. al A Disgraceful Riot .as2oi7 ..',....... -..
