OTHER WINTERS.

Discussing other winters, the Troy Chief
Gays the esrly part Of the winter of 1859 WAS
very cold, and early in December the snow
was two feet deep. In December, 1862, the
snow was two feet deep and the cold severe.
During the winter of 1864 the weather
was intensely cold until the latter part of
January, when it was changsble. The Chief
says that near Wysndoue a msn was frozen
to death; few days later q barn was struck
by lightning and burned down; and the next
day another man was frozen. The winter Of
1857 was very mild, and the Missouri did
not close until the I'd Of February. In 1860
there was brief cold spell in January-all
the remainder Of that winter the weather
was mild. The winter of lS7S-79 was the
"sloppy winter

THE TREE PLANTING SEASON.

From the Pacific Rural Press.
/, is timely to put in the usual word about
tree planting. IL may be believed that no
special sxhortaiion is needed toward the
planting Of fruit trees, for the state is already
wide awake TO the desirability Of increasing
our production OF certain fruits. The exPe-
rience Of the pas, sesson has given orchard
planting q sharp impulse, and that branch
of the subjsc. may be safely left to itself for
the present al least.
The planting of trees for ornament, shade
and timber is urged as often as the rain.
come, and yet there is still room and occa.
sion for repeating the e1horisiion. The beau
tifying Of cur town streets and county high
ways. the wee planting in dooryards and
around stockysrd and The covering OF va
cant lands unfit for tillage with growihs OF
profitable timber-all tbese should be DIR
cussed, considered and acted upon. The state
il full Of instances Of rapid growth OF young
timber set for wind-bresks on the plains or
in patches on the hill. 10 warrant investment
in these lines Of planting. In the long dry
summer The green growths OF eucalyptus here
and there upon the Contra Costa hills from
Berkeley south TO Hsywards have shone out
from their brown and barren surroundings,
seeming to command the bill owners to NIL
up all Of the gaps until the whole bill
surface should be covered with treas.
Bot though you urge it upon esthetic GROUNDS
or clearly demonstrate its success as an In
vestmsnt, still the hill tops remain bare. Il
is gratifying, however, to note lutte marks
of progress, and one can hope that soon the
spirit OF tree planting will wider prevail.
The great regret must be the time that is be
ing lost. While one hesitates the tree would
grow, and before the hestatipg man makes
up his mind the little plants on his neigh.
bors' lands have become forests.
We trust that the general prosperity ol
the past year may induce many to make soms
outlay in the direction OF filling the waste
places with beautiful timber trees. There

THE ADVANTAGES OF SHEEP
FEEDING.

Those who contend that it does not pay
too feed stock sheep ought to read piece in
the American Stockman and Farmer by Mr..
Adam Scott, of the State Of Maine, where
they have to shoot the wheat and corn into
the ground. He says he fed three hundred
and thirty wealhers, and to ascertain their
thrift selected two which he weighed every
month, from the 18th Of January to the 18th
Of April. One gained sixty.6ve and the
other seventy pounds. Their iced was one
and half pounds Of corn day, with all
the hay they could eat. The total cost Of
feed was estimated at seventeen cents per
month, an increase Of about twent, five
cents on each sheep over the value OF feed.
How is that for high? That would not be
profit enough, however, for most Of our
speculative sheep men; they would want
them to double every month and run on the
plains and raise twins. But such men have
never owned many sheep and probably new
er will. Jawbone does the most OF their
work.
We are keeping eight hundred head Of
grade ewes, and during the bad weather of
the past two weeks We feed millet, rice corn
ia shuck and broom corn in shuck. and three
bushels of Indian corn shelled ger day. IL
sll amounts to about four dollars and halt,
or half cent day for each sheep, and they
are gradually gaining. We think that is
better than pelt.ne them. In addition to
their feed they have an abundance of fresh
water. fre-h ard warm from the we'll, with
one Of Perkins self regulating. easy run
ming, cheap and durable wiod mill. Plenty
of water Is ha the hattie in feeding stock,
either summer or winter.
