HOW TIMBER NfAY BE NsUI,-
'TEPEHED.

One OF our exchanges has the fol.
lowing TO say in reference TO this
important subject:
Much has been written about
raising timber, but all the light that
can be shed upon the subject by all
the arboriculturists in the land will
not be amiss. There is no want in
the not distant future which has so
forbidding look as the increasing
scarcity of timber. Our forests are
not producing one-twentieth of the
supply we are annually consuming
or are destroying. More attention
should be given at once to its prop
agation and preservation. 1t was
said by some philosopher that he
who makes two blades of grass
grow where but one grew before is
benefacter to his race. If this be
true, and none will dispute it, how
much more credit is due him who
makes a landmark by the cultiva-
ton of trees? Reference to this
subject brings back TO our recolIec-
ton suggestion we saw some time
ago in regard to simple mode by
which timber may be increased on
those tracts of land upon which it
is being cut away. 1t is as follows ::
Plant the ground in the fall with
acorne, black and white Walnuts,
butternuts, the seeds of the ash, etc.
The nuts should be covered lightly
with the soil and decaying leaves,
so that boys and squirrels cannot
find them. They come up in the
spring, and if the cattle are kept out
of the woods-as they should be by
all who would preserve the young
trees-they will make rapid
growth, under the immediate super
intendence of Dame Nature her.
self, who has been pretty success.
fully engaged in this business of
tree culture, more or less, ever since
the silu, ian age. In the same way
cuttings may be put out in the tim
Der in the spring. The mulching of
the ground by the falling of the au-
tumn leaves is the best dressing
that can be put around such young
tress, which in a year or so will
surprise you with their rapid
growth. We would discourage no
one who can do SO from planting
out groves on the prairies, which is
one of the best works farmer can
do; but these hints carried out will
enable many TO utilize places now
going to waste, and get a good re-
turn for their efforts.
REMARKs.-Care must be taken
that the acorns do not become dry
or they will never veget4r". They
stick out a pointy root into the
ground in the fall. The same with
chcstnuts and the like.-The Shaft.

THE GREEDY REFORM.

And soon will hear ihrm cry Ing.

And with him goes our sncient Judge,
Displaying their vast powers,
Full well be knows his chance is slim.

And therefore all who vote for him
Escape from purgatory.
1t is in vain for him to go
On the Greely Reform trail, sir,
lie IS sure to meet his overthrow,
by old Bill Martindale, sir,
And when he looks back DER the storm
How well he will remember,
peeged out by tadpOIe reform
On the third day of November.
Then there is Governor Samuel j.,
Who is known quite near and far, sir,

And practice AT his bar, sir;
For though he once controlled the State
And ruled the people boldly,
Since then folks won't appreciate
And the voters treat coldly.
Then there is our Old friend Perry b.

lie has taken stock this fail in three

But all have left him in the cold,
And we will leave him there, sir.
His politics we have been told,

Then there is the Emporia Mayor,

Who with his partner are the the pair,
Who run the EmpOria Ledger.
Their language always seem to say,
You need not make a fuss, sir,
Its for us alone to make display,
And wisdom dies with us, sir.
The Ledger it makes quite noise,
And is quite ably run, sir,
And when they are mad the Ledger boys
Make quite 4 little fun, sir.
Well, luck to them in all their plans,
And long continuation.
For when you die 'tisvery plain

But as my piece is getting long,
I'll bring it to close, sir,

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A fine oil has lately been discov-
cred in the seeds OF the ochra plant,
of quality equal to olive Oil.
Brown coal comes from coal beds
more recent than those of the car
boniferous era; it is generally of
brownish black color, but often re-
sembles ordinary bituminous coal.
When the coal retains the form of
the original wood it is called Ignite.
Jet is black variety of brown coal,
compact in texture and taking a
good polish, whence its use in Jew
elry.
VI. DeCherville, in LIE Temps,
gives some useful hints for deciding
whether red wine is artificially col
ored. ''Pour into glass;" he says,
''a small quantity of the liquid you
wish to test, and disolye a bit of
potash in it. If no sediment forms,
aid if the wine assume a greenish
hue, it has not been artificially COL
ored; if a violet sediment forms,
the wine has been colored by elder
or mulberries; if the sediment is
red, it has been colored with beet
root or Pernambuco wood; if vio-
let-red, with logwOod; if yellow.
with peytolac berries if violet-bIue,
with pIivet berries and if pale vio-
let with sunfioWer."
Says an artist: s'I think the col
ors at the dispoal of an artist are
not in any way inferior in brilliancy
to those of flowers; they are the
same as used in dyeing, and the hue
of soldiers new scarlet coat is
more brilliant Than that of geran-
ium or poppy, although not trans.
parent. The real difficulty that
arises is loss of briiliancy from
want of graduation and quality

facts of many colored illustrations

The New York Times has the fol-
lowing apt words on the habit of
many people in leaving their good
manners at home when they go
abroad: There are hundreds of
persons who consider that in trav-
eling-either for business or pleas
ure-they are priviledged to throw
off what they term "all restraint"
and be as disobliging as they please
to every one. On the railroad the
representatives of this class feel
themselves justified in retaining
possession of two seats while other
passengers stand; in opening the
doors of private sections in draw
ing-room cars and going through
to the right or left aud take the
passage common to all in telling
vulgar stories in the smoking-room
loud enough to be heard in any
part of the car; in conversing with
each other on popular" scandals
from opposite sides of the sleeping
car; in whispering audibiy about
the occupants of different berths and
sections; in short, in committing
any number of acts that they would
never dream of committing at
home. 1t is no wonder that con-
ductors, brAkemen, and porters are
so often rude and impairment con-
sidering that their daily life is
passed among such company.
