The Profits of Tree Culture.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Eight years ago an emigrsnt from an east
ern state arrived in one of the bay counties
with his family and capital OF $75. He
had some knowledge Of horticulture, and
was good practical gardener. A capitalist,
who was the owner of some comparatively
useless land, contracted with this emigrant
for planting and tending forty acres OF this
land in Australian gums or eucai vptus. The
breaking. fencing, planting and labor on
the land cost the owner So. 600. at the end
of the first year he had 80, 900 thrifty trees,
a1d the second year he set out the shaded
grou nd in pasture, which retained it's verdi
ure nearly throughout the entire twelve
months, showing a denser growth FROM
year to year. At the beginning of the third
year he utilized this pasture for dairy COWS,
and found it strong enough to support two
| COWS to the acre. lie estimated the value for
this use at 81 per month per acre for eight
| months out of twelve, or $32 per year
per acre. The total yearly profit from this
source was 81 ,280.
At the end of the eighth year he was Offer
ed in cash by the keepers of wood yard
thirty cents each for his trees, or $3.50 per
acre, the. purchaser to pay all the cost OF
cutting and removing the timber. The total
value was 80 800, but in the mean time the
owner of the land had hail five years use of
the pasture, which, by his own close esti-
mate, was worth to him $4,000. This
makes the grand total of gross earnings in
eight years SIS, 900. From this must be
deducted S., $40 paid out for the nursery
plants. fencing and labor. and an expense
of $500 for water for irrigation during the
first two years. leaving net income OF $11 :
500, or $2S7 so per acre for the eight years,
or 1886 per acre for one wear.

Cultivate Your Strawberry Bed,

From the farmers Journal
The last pint of strawberries is picked,
then what? Will you plough down the old
bed or go to work for another crop from
the same ground? Some people think it
best to have bed entirely new for each
years picking. An old and very large
grower of this fruit starts the harrow after
the crop is gathered and Keeps the soil
mellow through June and July. He uses o
fine steel toothed harrow with twelve teeth
between the rows, the same as in a newly
planted bed. This cuts the ground fine
and does not cover the plants. No matt u
if one-fourth to one-t third the vines are
rooted out, and the remainder "look sadly
demoralized" in consequence, they will
soon recover, and the next crop be all the
better for the severe scarifying. Some
growers first NOW off the leaves and use q
plough instead of a harrow, ploughing q
furrow from the row, leaving unploughed
a space six to nine inches wide, thinning
out the plants in the row with a hand
plough, afterwards using the harrow be-
tween the rows. A new bed may be started
now, to fruit next year, by spading up
ball of earth with the plants, and setting
without disturbing the roots. Those who
like the hill system can set tho plants in
rows both ways and use wheelbarrow with
o sheet-i1on wheel, having sharp edged
rim for cutting the runners. This will do
the work. The fine toothed- harrow ca n be
run both ways, SO that no hand-hoeing or
back breaking work is needed. In the
matted row system, the runners NAV be
kept cut off until early in August, when the
horse cultivation should cease and the run
ners be allowed to take root.

The REMOVAL OF GREASE Spots
Fatty oils have greater surface tension
than oil of turpentine, benZole or other
oils. Hence, if a grease spot on piece of
cloth he moistened on the reversed side
with one of these solven the tension on
the greasy side is larger, and therefor the
mixture or benzole and fat or grease will
tend to move toward the main grease spot.
If we were to moisten the center of this
spot with benZole, we should not remove.it
but drive the grease upon the clean portion
of the cloth. 1t is, therefore, necessary to
distribute the benzole first over circle
surrounding the grease spot, to approach
the latter gradually, at the same time hav-
ing blotting paper in cont; c. with the spot
to absorb the fat Immediately.
To WASH LAWNS AND GINGHAMs.-
Examine the articles carefully; dampen the
soiled places and rub them lightly with
frank Siddalps soap; roll the pieces and
put in the tub with warm water; let them
soak from fifteen to twenty minutes, if
much soiled. if not wash at once, thorough
ly, in the one water; rinse earthly, getting
out all the suds; pass through the blue wa
ter and starch and hang out.
LUNCH RoLLs.-To one quart of -four
take one teaspoonful of lard. one cup of
milk, one teaspoonful of salt, four even
teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Roll the lard into the -four, in which the
paking powder has been sifted, together
with the salt: then add the milk and mix
lightly. Roll out and cut with Urge

And strew the stuffing all round the car,
And make them lank and thin.

Nor to handle things gently, when all my pay

Sh .de For Poultry.
From the Ponltrv Monthly

Poultry needs as much protection during
the summer from the fierce rays of the sun
as they do in winter from the severe cold,
although far too many of our breeders loose
sight of this very important fact, and suffer
corresponding losses in consequence.
Birds compelled to stay in yards which
have little. if any shade during the entire
summer, with the sun pouring down on
them with the intensity it does in July and
August, cannot thrive, while they are rem
dered much more liable to disease and
disorders. 1t pays, and pays well, too. to
give he fowls comfort at all times, and it
costs but little to furnish the necessary
shade, no matter how large the runs may
be. Trees, such as plums, peach and apple,
should at once be planted in the runs, es-
pecially the former, which seems to thrive
better than the other kind named. AS
these trees will not afford much shade for
a few years, temporary shades must be
made by making skeleton sheds of poles
along the sunny sides of the runs, and
then covering them with boughs, cedar
limbs, or almost anything cheap and con-
venent, which will afford the necessary
shelter from the sun. These may not look
very handsome, but then the utility COM
peasates fully for the lack of beauty.

A.Larsa Crop of Dogs.

An Iowa paper initmates that there are
100000 dogs in the state, and as each one
costs as much to keep as it does for coed
Buckshire shoat worth $50, the people of
the state must lose somewhere about
$3,GOO,O0O annually On its dog crop. AS the
follies of mankind generally cost more than
the necessaries of life, the people of Iowa
are not very different from those in other
parts of the world. Of course, we suppose
there are worse things than dogs, and
and more costly luxuries, but it would
seem that Iowa has few more barking
ours than she actually needs for use or
amusement
