1t is strange that the Mosaic pre-

taken from the tabernacle writs,
have become, by common consent,
the bill of fare Of civilized society,
with variations Of course. In the
cities, especially, the articles Of food
are those which the laws Of Moses
recommended. When in former

many became hogs themselves, and

To the Editor Of the Dallas Herald:
The uninitiated outside world is
gropIng in ignorance of the extent of
grasshopper's appetite. We have
them here of all sizes, from the point
Of cambria needle to an elongated
piece Of chalk. They are descendants
of Kansas and Nebraska, and are doing
a thriving business here. "How long,
o, hoppers, how long will We tarry?" is
the burden Of the farmers sigh. They
are injuring some crops very consider
ably, but only i'm certain localities are
they doing any very serious damage.
A suit for damages is contemplated by
one Of our farmers against a neighbor,
who with his wife and little ones drove
the hoppers from his field on to that OF
complainant.
Candidates
are not 80 numerous as grasshoppers
in Denton, yet she has them. Several
dozen are spoken of, but only two have
so far had the nerve to announce them
selves. They are both worthy gentle
men. r. H. Bates, Esq., and Major
Joseph A. Carroll are out Both are
old citizens Of Denton and lawyers OF
good standing.

Profit from Forest Trees.

1t matters little whether it be Norway
Spruce, White Pine, Scotch Larch, Ameri-
can Elm. Red or Soft Maple, etc, all and
each with many more are rapidly and
easily grown. The simple course is first
to SOW the seeds thiDly in beds with rows
four inches distant each from the other
Shade then, from the time OF seeding, both
winter and summer, until they have grown
to be four to six inches high then having
made the ground loose and pliable, trans
plant into rows four feet apart and the
plants one foot apart in the rows. This
will give something over 10, 900 plants to
the acre. At the end of three years every
three plants out of four should be taken
up from out Of these rows and replanted
in another field at distances of four by six
feet The growth now of both plantations
will be rapid, and in three years more
one-halt of the whole will be OF twelve to
twenty feet in height, and diameter Of
four to six inches, and valued for various
purposes at thirty to fifty cents each. The
removing OF these pays for all of previous
labor, and sale to say, in siX years more
VIII sell Tor 81 900 per acre. SO much for
a calm view OF judicious investment, where
money can be spared and the future looked
to Tor It's return at large profit, The few
varieties | have named are as nothing,
tor the Chestnut, Butternut. Black Walnut
and many more OF fruit producing trees,
have in them qualities OF value for timber,
and should the investor grow 900 acres,
less or more of them, their production of
fruit would fully compensate him if he did
not care to thin them out from time to
time for sale as timber. This world is
only halt or quarter peopled as yet, and
each and every year man is becoming
cognizant of. and more and more depend
ent upon, the value OF the fruits OF the
earth tor health and vigor of life. f. r.

Suggestions as to Tree Planting.

Thomas Meehan, editor of the Garden
er's Monthly. gives the following sugges-
tons concerning tree planting, some OF
which verge on what is considered hortl-
| cultural heresy:
AS the season for work has now arrived
we shall 90 into no extended detail, but
offer the following brief suggestions,
which may aid the unpracticed gardener: :
Prepare ground tor planting. Soil loos-
ened two feet deep dries out less in sum-
mer than soil one foot deep. Rich soil
grows a tree larger in one year than a
poor soil will in three. Underdrained soil
is cooler in summer than soil not under
drained. The feeding roots OF trees come
near the surface; therefore plant no deep
er than necessary to keep the tree in the
soil. If there is danger Of its blowing
over, stake it, but don't plant deep. One
stake set at an angle Is rs good as two set
perpendicular. Straw OF mat set around
tree keeps the bark from rubbing. Large
stones placed around transplanted tree
are often better than Il stake They keep
the soil moist, admit the air, and encour
age surface roots Shorten the shoots at
transplanting. This induces growth, and
growth produces roots; and with new
roots your tree is safe tor another season.
Cnpruned trees produce leaves, but little
growth, and less roots.
Place broad leaved cvergreens where
they will get no sun in winter, Yet away
from where the roots OF trees will make
the ground dry in summer. Deep soil,
but shallow planting, is all important for
them. In transplanting, take care OF the
roots, Good roots are OF more impor-
tance than good ''balls.' Balls of earth
are useful in keeping iibres moist; but
don't sacrifice the best tibres five or SIX
feet from the tree tor the few flbres in the
ball at the base When roots are rather
dry. after filling portion of soil, pour in
water freely. After all has settled away.
fill in lightly the balance of the soil, and
let it rest for a few days. This is as a
remedy, not as a rule for watering this
way cools the soil, ultimately hardens it,
and in other respects works in the injury
of the transplanted tree.
Unless inside of Il round, or circular
walk, don't plant trees or shrubs in formal
clumps They are denominations in the
eyes of persons of taste. Meaningless
irregularity form the opposite extreme.
Remember, 'art is nature better under

FIELD BEANS. The bean crop is worti

FIELD BEANS. The bean crop is worthy
of Il place in a rotation. not only ior its
profit but for its influence upon the soil.
1t takes little from the soil, is a cleaning
crop, requires little outlay for seed, occu-
pies the ground but a short time, and may
follow crop of clover the same season,
if an early ripening variety is chosen.
The MEDIUM" ripens early, is hardy, but
sells at a lower price than the "Marrow."
The Marrow is very productive on a
good soil, and is a popular market variety.
If properly harvested the hanlm is much
relished by sheep, and is nutritious. The
bean when ground with corn or oats, is
readily eaten, and when cooked pigs will
eat it with avidity. No food is better for
a growing animal, nor contains more
ilesh-forming elements than this bean.
The idea. however, that beans may be
grown with profit upon a soil too poor for
any other crop is erroneous. Agriculture

SALT FOR CABRAGE. A New Jersey
gardener considers salt necessary to the
development of cabbage, especially in
places tar from the coast. lie finds them
more crisp, OF better flavor, and to keep
better when salt is used than without. He
used it as follows: "A few days after set
ting out the plants, and when they are
damp. either after rain OF when the dew
IS on. take a small dish of fine salt and
walking among the rows, sprinkle little
pinch OF salt on the centre of each plant
when the leaves begin to grow. repeat
the sailing. and when the centre of the
leaves begin to form the head. apply salt
again, scattering it over the leaves after
this | look them over occasionally, and if
l find plants that do not head we'll and ap-
pear diseased, | sprinkle the salt over
freely this will save all such plants. A
quart OF salt is sufficient for five hundred
plants in season, although more can be
used with safety.'

A Pigeon Roost.

Sportsmen will doubtless be interested in the
fact that there are countless millions of pigeons
to be found within one hundred miles of this
city. The country lying between the main line
of the Erie Railway from Corning to Buffalo,
and the Rochester branch from Corning to
Avon, is literally alive with the birds. Their
roosting place is situated in a wild mountainous
region west of COOperS, n. y, few miles
this side of corning, and embraces tract of
land from seven to ten miles square, heavily
timbered, and unbroken by clearings or high
ways, from which they issue at daylight and
scatter over the country for many miles in
search of food, which consists principally of
acorns. The birds made their appearance near
C00pers about three weeks ago and have adj
vanced farther west daily, until they now fly rs
far west as Springwater. During the present
week they will in all probability be found at
all points along the Genesee Valley and seat
tered over the surrounding country, and there
is a prospect that considerable number of
the birds will build their nests and breed in this
county and those adjoining. The writer took
a trip to CampbelIs last week with excellent
success, Opposite the village of Campbells are
three high hills; on the top of the centre one,
our party took up position, and when the
flight commenced, about D 30 L. M. we could
not load and fire fast enough to take the llocks
as they charged upon us like the waves OF the
ocean. The flight lasted an -four, the roaring
of our guns, the eXhilaratng excitement and
the lively running to and fro of small army
OF boys picking up the dead birds, made the
scene most animating one. From our eleVat-
ed position we commanded a view of the coun-
try for ten or twelve miles in length and five or
SIX in width, and for the entire distance inn
iilehse hooks could be seen stretching out In
long lines until lost in the distance. When
nearing the 'roost," several flocks arriving
simultaneously would sweep together into one
immense flock and alght in the trees in thick
mass, seemingly covering an acre or more

MILK IN THUNDER STORMS. |,

MILK IN THUNDER STORMS 1t is 4 lit
tie early to anticipate thunder storms Of
any great severity, but it will be interest
ing for dairymen to know how to guard
their milk from souring when the thunder
storms do come. Experiments recently
tried in Sweden are said to prove that the
effects of thunder storms can be avoided
or counteracted by artificial heat in the
dairy, the plan being simply to start fire
in the room where the milk is kept as soon
as II thunder storm is seen approaching
This is done even in hot weather. The
theory is that during the approach Of such
storms the atmosphere becomes loaded
with moisture, and the damp, heavy air
resting on the milk produces acldity and
spoils it. The heat from a fire counteracts
this influence and keeps the milk from
souring. Manifestly the heat should not
be too great or too long continued. Ex.
