VALUE OF EVERGREEN TREES
AMONG FRUIT TREEs.-A we'll grown
evergreen tree gives off continually
an exodium of warmth and moisture
that reaches distance of its area in
hight; and when the tree planters
advocate shelter belts, surrounding
q tract of orchard of fifty or more
acres, when the influence of such
belt can only reach . distance of the
hight of the trees in said belt, they
do that which will prove of little
value. To ameliorate climate, to
assist in prevention of injury
against extreme climatic cold in
winter and of the frosting of the
germ bud of the fruit in spring, all
orchards should have planted, in
and among them unfortunately,
evergreen trees at distances each OF
not more than one hundred and fif-
ty feet apart. Such q course pur-
sued, we have no doubt, will rem
der greater health to the trees, and
be productive of more regular and
uniform crops of fruit. AT all
events, it is worth trial, and we shall
be glad If our readers can inform
US Of any practical experiments or
the subjt ct.-Scientific American.

Extract from Minutes Of the EX-
CcuaIve Committee of the
state Grange.

From the Farmers Vindicator
The Executive Committee of the State
Grange of Mississippi would respectfully
submit TO the different Subordinate Gran
ges of the State, the following statements
and propositions for their consideration.
ave regret the question of Immigration
las the important question for considera-
ton OF the Order. In this question is
involved the future veal or woe of our
State. We must have an influx of good
men into our State, or by continually
worse. Let every Patron consider that
in the discussion of this question, he is
considering the salvation of Mississippi.
Al our last State Grange meeting steps
We're taken towards immigration. In our
deliberations on this question, as your
Executive Committee, we see the neces-
sity for the establishment of State I'm
migration Office there must be a central
head To this work.
A feasible, practical, and we believe
Il plan which would prove successful in
the organization If this work is submitted
TO Us; we are disposed to adopt it; in fact
the State Grange has adopted the plan
and only want the means to put the ma
chlnery IN operation. We cannot start
this work with less than FIVE thousand
dollars. We repeat, we have confidence
in the movement; we ask then, that every
Grange in the State-every member of
the Order-make a donation, such as his
generous impulses may dictate, to enable
Us to establish this office, and put into
operation this noble work
We call upon the Patrons to act, and act
atoncc as the Importance of the question
demands
If sufficient amount Is sent up we will
go to work. If not, the amounts will be
placed in the Treasury of the State
Grange, subject to the order of the party
sending.
This Office, if established, will receive
aud compile all inducements offered by
the Subordinate Oranges and individual,
to immigrants, take steps to induce immi
grafton, act as a land commission Office
and furnish labor In short, it will
t,ke complete charge OF the Immigration
work.
All response should be sent as soon as
possible 10 the Secretary Of the State
Grange, at Rieud, Alcorn county Missis

Common Name. Of Flowers.

IN response to our friendly correspon-
dent, We can only say that we give the
popular name OF flower in every case
where il has one sufficiently common to
be Of any use. Often flower has a
dozen common namGs. The pansy, for
instance, is called heartsease, violet, love
and idleness, jump up-and- kiss-me, JON
ny jump up, butterfly violet. The Ger
mans call it stepmother, and the Italians,
mother and daughter in-law. There is
town in this State where there is album
dance Of chicory growing on the road
sides and other waste places. Ask any
one, almost, the name Of the flower, and
they viii tell you Evans pink, because
the seed was Introduced and sold for
pink-seed by a person named Evans 1t
is its common name there, and it is
known by no other. Should we adver-
tise il BY this name, the world would
wonder what it was. 1t is in this way
common names are created and multi.
