Trees and Grain.

frees ana Graln.
Where the sugar maple, beach white and
black oaks flourish the farmer can put in
his plough with confidence that wheat, oats,
and similar small grains, will give him re-
munerative crops. These trees abound in
the Genesee valley, once the most famous
wheat region on this continent; and to- day
the hard wood lands of central and west
ern New York show their strength and rich
ness in the grain fields and the millions of
bushels of fruit from orchards and gardens.
The forests of Ohio, Indiana, and parts Of
Michigan are similar to those of New York,
and the fertility of the soil shows that they
did not mislead the early settlers in these
States. Wherever we find the hardwood
trees fourishing we are certain to find a
rich soil and healthy climate, whether it be
in the Northern, Middle or Southern States.
The winters may be severe but where the
choicest of our Northern forest trees grow,
there the grains and fruits adapted
to cool climates will also thrive.

Warm Your Chicken Feed.

|
| From the Poultry Journal
It may seem -fogyish to some to warm
the food given to the poultry during the cold
winter months, some persons contendine
that the fowls in their natural state never had
aught else than cold food and but sparingly
of that That is true as far as it goes; but
then how much profit would be secured from
birds left to care for themselves? Domesti-
Gated live stock Of all kinds are subjected to
altered conditions from what they were un-
der when free and not under the restraint OF
man, and we must conform in our feeding
and management to these altered conditions
else we will be just that far from success.
If we want a good, healthy growth and an
abundance of eggs from our fowls during the
winter, we must not only feed them literally
on suitable food, but we must feed in such
form and condition as will secure the best
| results.
After an experience of several seasons we
| have adopted the system Of warming the
| food all through the winter and cold wealth
| er, both morning. and evening" and we
attribute the excellent laying quail
ties of the fowls, in great measure, to
doing this. The food, whether
whole OF broken grain, or other food, either
| dry or moistened, should be warmed well
farmers make a practice of parching their
| whole corn, and are assured it is benef cial.
Where new unreasonable corn is used for
chicken food, this parching is decided
benefit, for it makes it equally as good for
feeding as old, seasoned corn. Quite a
number of poultry ailments are caused by
feeding the new crop of corn, and parching
it will effectually prevent any trouble from
that score.
Wheat, which is no doubt the best kind
of grain for the laying fowls, much better
than so much corn, which latter fattens so
quickly as frequently to stop the production
of eggs temporarily, IS much improved by
being heated well before being fed, and
then given to the fowls while yet warm, not
hot. In feeding wheat, only about two
thirds as much by measure should be fed
as of corn, and when fed in that manner
is very little if any more expensive than
corn. Good, sound wheat only should be
used, for while we see no objections to
screenings on the score of unhealthiness
screenings give but little available food.

Higher Grade of Wool..
Ero1,o tho Gin

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
That "the United States will grow all the
higher grade woods required" in due time,
is foregone conclusion. There never was
time when the sheep and wool interests of
the country elected anything like the de-
gree Of interest at present given them, and
never before were the facilities extant for
promoting those interests half so well un-
derstood. Within the last ten years-nay,
since Cen LIE Due presided over the Agri-
cultural Departmen immense acres Of
our national domain which may be best
utilized for sheep farming have been made
apparent, and the business of sheep breed
ing and mutton and wool production have
assumed national prominence. Looking at
at the vast amounts and wooden goods yet
imported into England and France it would
seem that sheep and their feeces on this
continent might he safely doubled without
seriously competing with European produo-
ers.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEM.

Of the lane warrants issued by the govern
ment prior to 1861, it is found that the owners
have omitted to make use of about 10000,
covering over two and a half millions acres
of public land. These warrants are scattered
throughout the country, but the most of them
are supposed to be in the south. The COM
missioner of the general land office calls at
tention to the subject in his annua report
about to be published. If any of our readers
possess any of them, the following paragraph
will be of interest to the holders:
Who can tell what has become of The old
military bounty land warrants ? There is
outstanding nearly $4,000 of 100, 12o, so and
40 acres each, which were issued to soldiers
or their heirs for services rendered in the
revolutionary war, Florida war, 1872 war,
Mexican war, Arostook war, and Indian wars.

million and five hundred thousand acres.

THE NEW PROBLEM.

Several of the eastern national tanks put
their foot in it during their recent attempt to
create a monetary panic in the country aud
are now trying to get it out. It will be re-
under discussion in the house, the banks, to
prejudice its passage, locked up their vaults
and refused to loan money even at the rate
of one per cent. a day, and that the secreta-
ry of the treasury, to relieve the stringency
of the money market caused the purchase to
be made in New York City of bonds to the
amount of several millions of dollars. The
banks promptly sold the desired bonds and as
promptly deposited the. proceeds of their sale
in the United States treasury for the purpose
of Withdrawing their circulation. After the
veto of the funding bill they desired to Con-
tinue their circulation and wished to substi-
ute bonds for the legal tenders they had de-
posted. The new cabinet has had their re-
quest under consideration aud without COM
ing to any conclusion, adjourned. The i'm
p~ortance of the matter appears to be reeog-
nized by the cabinet and to arrive at a just
decision in regard to it, the views of the
comptroller of the currency and the secretary
of the treasury will be asked. In view of
future contingencies of like character, the
cabinet seems to desire TO act cautiously in
the solution of this new problem.

PROPHECY.

An exchange says, fifty years ago Thomas
Carlisle set against each other dandyism and
drudgism-that, 'daldlacal body" the British
parliament, and that body of drudges, the
ssIrish poor-slave." He died in the MIDST Of
the struggle between these two bodies, which
he anticipated would plunge England into
anarchy. He said, 81 would lken dandyism
and drudgism to two ~bottomless, boiling,
whirlpools, thai had broken out on opposite
sides of the firm land. As yet they appear
only disquieted, foolishly bubbling wells,
which mans art might cover in. Yet, mark
them! Their diameter is daily widening ;
they are hollow cones that boil up from the
infinite deep, over which your firm land is
but a thin crust or rind. Thus daily is the
intermediate land crumbling daily the en-
pire of the two Buchan-Bullers extending, till
now there is but a foot plank, a mere film
between them. This, too, washed away, and
then we have the true hell of waters, and
Noah's deluge is ontdeluged."

Tn MONETARY CONGRESS.

Thu Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial Bulletin gives
sCme important information respecting the
prospects of the proposed international mon
etary congress which we condensc into the
following: The invitations to other powers
to participate have been issued by our govern
ment in the name of the United States and
France, and the date designated for the hold
ing of the congress is the 10Th of April next.
Germany and Spain have already accepted
the invitation and it is anticipated that no
important government will fail to be repre-
gress contemplates the establishment of the
double standard as a toregone conclusion.
The governments OF France and United
States have reached a definite agreement up
on certain fundamental matters, which will
simplify, in a great measure, the work Of the
congress. As to the valuation to be put upon
silver, both nations agree that it shall be the
same as is now accepted by the Latin Union
that is, 15a to l. This settles in advance
one possible source of difference between
this country and France. Both countries also
accept the principle of making silver an un-
limited legal tender; and they equally agree
to impose no restrictions upon the coinage of
silver. But it appears that it is not contem-
plated to attempt to introduce identity of
weight and ~ineness in the coins of the sew
eral nations uniting in the compact. This
much being agreed upon between the two
principal nations, there is every reason to
hope that an arrangement will ultimately be
reached, broad enough in its international
scope to assure the permanent success of the
double standard and to remedy permanently
the depreciation of silver.

One of the best illustrations of the uses of
words and acts, and the meaning of them, is
contained in a late issue of the Richmond,
Va, State. 1t says: "Tennyson can take a

on it make it worth S., 1000; that's genius.
Mr.. Vanderbilt can write fewer words on a
similar sheet of paper and make 1t worth $780,
