THE OUTLOOK OF AMERICAN AGRICUI-
TURE

The following, from the Country Gentle
man, ISIS extract from an agricultural ad-
dress by Mr.. Joseph Harris:
3 10 meathe prospects of American agricul-
ture were never so bright as at the present
time. There is plenty Of cork to be done.
The greatest curse that can befall a man or
nation is voluntary or involuntary idleness.
"Nothing odo'' means poverty and misery.
The less man does the less he is inclined to
do. The more he does the more hescan do.

JUDICroUs TREE PLANTING 9.

More than half the trees yearly planted
,re located so absurdly that after few
wears growth they are sure to become a
nuisance. and must be removed at any cost.
Its rather lucky, in this view, that SO many
newly set trees die. They are less loss
when first planted than at any other time.
The spring enthusiasm of mankind for tree
planting is very like the fever for house
cleaning, which at this season attacks their
\ better halves Armed with a spade and hoe
\ and fred by this frenzy, men dig'up, their
yards and gardens, and plant SO absurdly
that the best thing which can happen to
their pets is to die young, and be safely got
out of the way. have seen Norway spruce
trees planted within five feet of a house, or
S scattered at the distance of full eight feet
apart. 1t is all very nice while the trees are
young, but trees will grow, and such large
varieties will soon crowd everything else out
/ Of the grounds. And then when yards
become bowling wilderness of shrl1bbery
or forestry, we'are gravely told that it all
/ comes from not employing a professional
landscape gardener. 1t is all nonsense. IF
\ meL will use even the measure OF common
sense that they enjoy, there need be no such
difficulty. Look at the descriptive cata-
logues of trees and shrubs and learn the
probable growth of the little tree you are
digging the hole for. IF 1t is to become a
giant, look ahead ten, twenty or fifty years,
and see how it will fit its surroundings.
There are plenty of dwarf varieties that will
alwaysremain of moderate size, ard for the
great majority Of yards around homes these
should always be preferred.
1t is not>well to have deep shade around
the house, Keep the large trees at suit
able distance. and let in little Sunshine.
Have some regard also, to keeping an open
view from'the house to the highway. Time
and again have seen young apple orchards
nplanted that as soon as they become large
i1e family home will be completely hidden.
hot large enough to furnish good apple
orchard away from the house, it is not large

EASTERN AND WESTERN FARMING.


EASTERN AND WESTERN FARMING
| ltmay prove interesting to your readers
| to consider the differences between eastern
and western farming as such are seen by
one bred to the pillow in the east and famil-
lar with conventional agriculture there, and
who has been in the ''great west" long en-
ough to observe the principal peculiarities
Of western farming.
Truly this is '''the great west,'' and richly
deserves all the eulogiums passed upon it.
1t is rich in every resource. In coming from
the eastern States to the west, one is struck
by the continued increase in the magnitude
Of farming operations. In the Atlantic
coast States the farms are small, the crops
products much less than in these fertile
western States. and markets but little if any
better for the staple farm products. This,
of course, will not hold good concerning
vegetables and garden productions general
y, as there are more large cities in the east
with increased demands to be supplied.
There the farmers are particular and saving,
prompted either by principle or necessity,
or both. There you rarely see mans
reaper, rake, wagon, or other machinery
appurtenant to the farm, standing ou5 in the
middle Of d field, or run into weedy fence
corner, solely for convenience, the yea'
round, as if 1t We're never intended toy use
again. Western farmers laugh at re east
ern people for this care and pscallea Ior
economy; while the contraryof practice Is
the custom,,'an the excepAoh tue rarity IA
the west. Any one treseling through this,
or any other portieh OF the west, will be
forciblv struck nth the truth of this re-
mark. An1the loss to these farmers must
be incalcpable, yet they don t seem to real
ize if, or treat it as Il matter of too little i'm
portance for tileir concern. One may easily
observe the greater extravagance and care
lessness of western farmers in every other
particular as well. In the east, the farmers
"cramp down" the hard times, and, by dint
Of an heroic struggle. generally "make'both
ends meet"-make their income equal their
outgo, while these western people live right
on in plenty and luxury, without seeming
to care whether 'both ends meet" or not,
regardless of what may sooner or later be q
hopeless bankruptcy.
t. Western farmers are industrious, enter
prising, intelligent men; good, and success
ful business men, if they could be a little
more careful about trifles, as they deem
such work as putting machinery under shell
ter when not in use. By their prosperity
are they ruined. The German element, set
tied in the mountains of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, so famous tor their frugality
and uniform success in making a compet-
ence where the natives nearly starve, seems
to have lost that characteristic out here in
the west, and, while generally more prudent
than Americans, arequite extravagant com
pared to their eastern brethren.-Cor. R1ral
