Home and Farm.



As the cutting down and the
removal of trees are as much
the work of the forester as their
growth, / thought the following
remarks regarding an idea sug-
aested during a trip west some
months ago, might be a legiti-
mate contribution to your de-
partment of forestry.
In many cases, very especial
" where the ground on which
the forest stands is needed for
tillage, or for growing the or
binary crops of the farm, it is
desirable not only to remove
the trunk of the tree with the
foliage which shades the ground,
but also the stump. which, if
left. stands in the way of the
pillow and harrow. and SO causes
much loss of time in passing
around it, There are patented
articles for extracting the stump
after the trunk has been cut
away, but the employment of
which requires considerable
outlay. either in their purchase,
or hire, or in pay of men skilled
in their use.
What l here propose calls
for nothing in addition to the
woodnlans ak excepting one or
more lengths of stout rope.
The tree IN fact, by my method
lifts its own roots. the axman's
duty being simply TO cut the
diverging branches of the root.
Whilst the cutting was being
done. a rope would be attached
to some point well up the trunk,
by means of which the fall
would be facilitated and a direc-
ton given to it After the fall
ing Of the tree, q large saw
would make a clean separation
of trunk and roots, and this use
of the saw instead of the ak
would work an average saving
Of a lineal foot in, each tree, and
number of cubic. feet where
the tree was a large one. This
process Of removing trees is of
ter natures own way, and | of
fer it as worthy of consideration
on account of its economy, both
of time and product. -Ca,den-

There can be no great degree
of prosperity in any country
Were the greater portion of the
people are engaged in any one
system of industrial operations
to the exclusion of others, says
the Rural New Yorker. Eng
land has less prosperity because
Of her necessity to largely pur-
chase her provisions and raw
materials. but Russia, the south
era and western States have had
less prosperity from produc-
ing only raw materials or provi-
sions at low prices. and having
to purchase manufactures at a
high price. To the most pros
porous, the raw material and
provisions should largely be
consumed on the ground where
produced, and only the high
cost products exported.
The south should msnufac-
ture her cotton and wool and
hemp and jute. refine her sugar
and raise her provisions, as well
as raw material. The west
should have one-half her ener-
gies in manufacturing industries
to consume her raw material,
and that naturally passing by
her and also to consume largely
Of her provisions. and increase
the vlaue of her lands and save
transportation Any nation, or
any portion Of nation. should,
after raising food, raise what
they can manufacture upon their
own territory to advantage.

VISIT EACH OTHER.

| means he has employed to over
come obstacles are no sectet.
with him. Such men are usu-
ally communicative, and always
disposed to impart all the infor-
nation they can for the benefit
of their neighbors and mankind.
, If one will visit them in the
right spirit and object, they will
| get all the information desired.
In this way it is profitable for
cultivators to visit each other.
Make snch excursions not only
pleasure, but a profit. Learn
at your local fairs where men
live who have been successful
in one or all the departments of
farm, orchard or garden. Set.
a time to visit him and let him
know it, SO that it will not inter-
fere with his business. Invite
a few of your neighbors, who
need to be awakened, to go
along with you. Take notes,
from new resolutions, and wake
up to a higher life. Begin to
think, hold up your head and
quit grumbling.
Nor should these visits be
limited. Thousands of persons
are plodding alongin ignorance
of what is Transporting about
them. The fashion and prac-
tees of farming followed forty
years ago are no longer prohta-
| bic or wise. There is a sprinkle
of the better way of doing all
through the country, but the
mass remain at home, read moth
ing and live in ignorance. Sup
pose the farmers cease going
TO town SO much, but spend
half a day each week in visiting
the farms of their prosperous
neighbors; learn how they han
Gle stock and the breeds they
have; look at the various rich
fruits which are produced, and
| know from actual sight what
varieties viii prosper, and just
where the right kind can be had.
without failure. Ascertain why
some men never have hog chol-
era, black leg, clover bloat,
corn-must poisoning, ETC.,
among their stock. Pry out
the secret why some men al
ways sell their steers for FIVE
cents per pound. while their
.neighbors are compelled to take
three. Solve the problem why
some farmers always have good
crops, while their neighbors'
wheat blights, corn gets FROST
bitten and potatoes rot. It is
better to visit prosperous farm
ers than to lay around beer sa-
