TREES AND RAIN.

Where the sugar maple, beech, white and
black oaks flourish the farmer can put in his
pillow with confidence that wheat, oats, and
similar email grains, will give him remu'
nerative crops. These trees abound in Gen
essee Valley, one of the mes; famous wheat
regions on this continent; and to-day the
hard wood lands of Central and Western
New York show their strength and richness
in grain fields and the millions of bushels Of
fruit from orchards and eardens. The for
ests Of Ohio, Indians, and parts Of Michigan
are similar to those Of New York, and the
fertility of the coils shows that they did moi
mislsad the early settlers IN these States
Wherever We find hard wood trees flourish
ing We are certain to find rich soil ant
healthy climate, whether it be in the North
ern, Middle OF Southern States. The win
ters may be severe, but where the choicest o.
our Northern forests trees grow, there thu
grains and fruits adapted to cool climates
will alec thrive.

STATE FORESTS.

The Wa-Keeney World OF LIS, issue has a
carefully written editorial on the subject Of
tree planting in the state. 1t argues in fav.
or Of Two nurseries, one in the northwest on
the line Of the K. p. and one IN the south
vest on the A. +. & s. F. The writer pro-
noses that there nurseries shall be owned and
managed by the state, and ,ha, trees be fur
nisbed to the people free OF expense. The
object is two-fold. First, 10 encourage tree
planting; ana second to aid as much as pos
sible in effecting such climate changes IS
growing forests ere believed to influence.
The subject is we'll worth the attention Of
our people generally. The vast plains in
the western portion Of the state are suscepIi-
BILE of maintaining a very large population,
but something beside the arid waste is need
ed TO attract immigration. There is much
in the suggestion that two or three state for
es,s in that section would add value as we'll
rs astracliveness to the country.
But, might not the plan be 20 modified a.
to make the work self--ustsiniog. charge
for a certain proportion of trees furnished
would, doubtless, realiz. sufficient to defrsy
all expenses. OF course for the fret two or
three years the expenses would have to be
net wholly by state appropriations; but At.
ter the trees become marketable, the sals Of
a portion would soon reimburse the state.
There is smother reason for requiring pay
msnt for at least portion Of the stock cold.
Those who are able to own vast tracts OF
land would be able 10 monopolize the busi-
ness. Let each purchase pay Tor tert,i
pronortion of frees and besides max DR the
distribution more equitable ard reasonable,
it would make recipients feel more manly
about it. The less government givee, the
more self reliant the people become.-Tope.

SOME HINTS TO FARMERS.

From the Hays Seminal.
will say q few words telling my e1pe-
rience in farming in Kansas. think the
Early Amber sugar-cane is our salvation Tor
a sure and profitable crop, for many reas-
ou,. First: It's . sure crop for vet or
DIV season. Kansas is subject to long, contin-
ned drought in the middle and western por-
lions Of the state; also is subject to the rava'
ges of chirch. bugr, corr.wo'ms. and grass
hoppers. Grasshoppers and corn-worms do
not touch the Early Amber. We can plant
the cane and make molass,s Of the best qusi'
,ty: and am sure it can be graduated into
sngsr 10 a profit. The seed can be gathered
and threshed, from 10 to ID bu,hels to the
acre. and is equal to the best Indian corn,
and when ground into chop it excels in fat.

three-fourths OF a bushel per acre, oroad-cae'
and narrowed or drilled. 1t Will make the

head. Ii will then branch oct from the root
and produce q second crop Of hay equal, II
superior, to the first crop. Cut again and !!
will make another growth, and make good

for any purpose.
experimental last season to my entire
satisfaction on rice corn both for feed and
Grain. The corn-worm worked severely on
the rice corn, and spoiled it to certain e1-
tent. The stalk is poor feed for any ami
NAL. 1t lacks the sugar that cane ba', II
ia more like broomcorn stalk.
Then We will plant broomcorn for cash

better for the labor than broomcorn. 1t re-
auires no resping machine or threshine ma

corn are risky crop; but | would advi-e
farmers to SOW and plant 4 iimiIed amount
of botL; and they may do we'll, and may be
a failure, ne the Last season.
Sweet potatoes and peanuts are pretty sure
and profitable in smsll way. Irish pots

the ground with straw after planting, &c

WE have glanced hurriedly over
"Reminiscences of q Ranger" by
Major Horace Bell, printed by the
Messrs. Yarnell, Caystile & Mathes,
of Los Angeles. In mechanical de-
tails IL is y work highly creditabie
to the topographic fraternity in
this city. From literary stand
point it possesses decided merit:
The narrative is crisp and fresh,
the story is told with great spirit
and dash, and the few trifling de-
fssts which severe critic might
pick cut In the work. are evsrbal-
ancsd by very decided and mani
fold merits. We can oheerfully
recommend "Reminiscences Of q
Ranger" to all readers of the HER
AID. Eastern people particularly
will benefit by its psrussI, as it
will give them q greater insight
into the past of Los Angeles coun-
ty and Southern California in O
day than they would otherwise ac-
quire In o month Of Sundays. The
book ought to meet with an ex-
tensive sale, thus assuring to Major
Bell a quid pro quo for labors
which were doubtless those of love-.
but which will be all the pleasant
er in the retrospect if they shall
prove to have been remunerative.
All Angcleflos should buy the
book and commend it to their
friends abroad.

He Slept.

In one of the numerous sample
rooms of the city a few nights ago,
the proprietor, who took the night
watch, during q lull in the usual
throng of cuatom ers, sat down to q
table and laid his weary head upon
his arm for brief respite from
labor. Tired nature soon yielded
to the influence of balmy sleep,
and while the flesh was wrapped
ia utter oblivion, the mind mar
shaled forth smsBg unlimited
hogsheads of old rye and bourbon
and giant bottles of delectable
cocktails. In this somnolent con-
ditien he failed to notice the en-
trance of three customers, whose
conversation did not rouse hina.
They simply helpsd themselves to
the liquids their appstites craved,
picked up p playing card aud
wrote upon IL "Sweet be thy
dreams-3 drinks," laid 1t before
the sleeping proprietor and left.
Returning shortly they found their
example had been initiated by
others, who had also taken their
drinks and endorsed on the card,
"Lst not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth-2
A policeman soon after
ward appeared and awoke the
sleeper, who concluded it was time
to close for the night, but could
not exactly see the point of the
ioke.--Ardz0nG CStisen.

gressmen, and he told the whole
story with refreshing frankness be-
fore committee of the House.
One is tempted TO ask, in view Of
the known gravity of the peril,
where is the remedy? just there's
the rub. The corporations stand
the exposure OF their manipulation
OF legislative bodies with serene
Indifference worthy of better
cause. There is something, in the
artless and contiding way in which
they look the public straight in
the eye and ask them, in effect,
"What are you going to do about
it?n that extorts the involuntary
admiration that is accorded to
sublimated cheek.
AS q part Of the current history
of the times we know that politi-
cal movements have been inaugu-
rated with the express view of
curblng corporations and rebuking
the insolence of banded wealth.
These campaigns generally open
with capital display Of snthusi-
asm and public spirit. Their pro.
motors may even carry an election
and attitudinizs In the role Of re.
formers, breathing out defianss to
the corporations, and making great
ado about condign vengeance and
guarantees for the future. But 1t
is always found that their laws,
when they are seated in the law
making FORUM are 80 cunningly
framed as to defeat the pur-
pose at which they are
ostsnsibty aimed. TIE agents
of the corporations dictate
the very statutes which are to sc.
complish such wonders; and, with
out an exception, Ssnegambisn
of formidable Dimensions Is found
in the legislative woodpile.
Itisa very singular fact that In the
United States-a Republic-whers
the people are supposed to rule,
and where the fiction Ia that every
man is sovereign, corporations
WELD twenty times the power they
do in England or France. The
vice cannot lie in the fact that this
country 10 Republic, for France
is also Republic. IF it were sup.
posed, for q moment, that bank
or a railway were attempting to in
fueneo legislation, either in Eng
land or France, there would at
once be howl of great fury, and
