ORNAMENTAL TREES FOR LAwNs-A pre-
vailing error in planting lawns of not more
than one or two acres in extent is that OF Sc
Rcting trees of the largest growth, which
soon become a serious evil, and one which is
not easily remedied except by their entire
removal which is sometimes, although re-
luctantly done. Ornamental grounds depend
quite as much for their beauty on the stretch
of unobstructed grassy lawn as upon trees
and shrubs The skillful combination of
trees and grass forms the art of landscape
gardening 80 far as planting is concerned,
and no small part of this art consists in the
selection of trees, which, both in form and
size OF growth, are best adapted to the size
and disposition of the grounds Ito be orna-
mented. . =
The following list embraces only medium
sized trees, well fitted for limited lawns and
ornamental grounds:
1cer edmpcstre, the European field maple,
is one of the most desirable of small trees
for its dense foliage and symmetrical habit
of growth. Acer pol,notun,, an elegant Japan
species Acer poIymorphum, also from Japan;
there are numerous elegant varieties of this
species, all highly interesting and ornamen-
tai. Aeer stratum, the striped bmked maple
Or Aooeswood, is a native species, conspicu-
ous in winter on account Of its beautifully
striped bark. CcrciS CdaGdensis, the Judas
tree, well known for its early spring flower
ing ana handsome summer foliage CorRUS
.fsTtd0, the large Towering dOgwood. CornuS
HsscuIs, the COrnelian cherry; the variegated
form Of this species is one of the finest of all
hardy vsTiesated Jeafcd trees .Shcpbcrdid
Grsr5'fes the Buffalo berry. has an abundance
of ssariet fruit, which are sometimes eaten
for tseir acdity. Fagus syIUdtica asplenifolia,
the cut-leafsd beach is a very unique oTna-
mental plant. CfionGnthuS rirginjca, the
fringe tree, has curious flowers, as if cut ont
Of white paper RclssiG tetrapterd, the silver
bell or snow-drop tree, so named from its
numerous bell-li1e flowers. Koircuteria pani-
culata, a Japan plant, having finely pinnated
leaves, yellow flowers, and bladdery seed
vessels. Magnolia glauca, the fragrant swamp
magnolia hognohas, conspicua, Soulangedna,
and Lenne, are spring Towering kinds of
much beauty. Ptelea trifolidta the hop tree,
both useful and ornamental Pyrus prMni-
folid, the Siberian crab apple; there are sew
eral varieties of this species, mostly compact
growing trees of medium size, well adapted
for ornamenting lawns, and at the same time
yielding useful fruits.

CUERANT BoRER.-In some parts of the
country the culture of currant bushes has
been abandoned on account of their con-
tinued destruction by small caterpillar
which bores into the center of the young
branches and frequently attacks older stems.
These insects are most partial to the red cur
rant, yet the black currant, and even the
goossberry, is sometimes attacked. Not only
do the broken stems, so weakened as to be
unable to stand upright, but also the sicbly
appearance of the foliage, tel, of tha presence
Of Che insect Bending the stalks win also
generally give the needed information, as the
affected ones bend the more readily. The
hollsvs in the stalk give evidence of their
previous or present work.
The best remedy is to cut off the infested
parts and burn them. This should be done
early in May; if later, some of the earliest
moths might escape; if earlier, the pruner
could not discriminate so well between
healthy and diseased stems.

WHERE THE TIMBER GoEs.-To make
shoe-pegs enough for American use consumes
annually 100000 cords of timber, and to
make lucifer matches 100000 cubic feet of
the best pine are required every year. Lasts
and boot-trees take 100000 cords of birch,
heech, and maple and the handles of tools
100000 more. The baking of bricks con-
sumes 24,000,0O0 cords of wood, or what
would cover with forests about $4,000 acres
of land. Telegraph poles already up repre-
sents 100000 trees, and their annual repairs
consume 100000 more. The ties of railroads
consume annually thirty years growth of
10000 acres, and to fence all the railroads
would cost $4500OO0O with yearly expen-
diture of s15OO0,OOO for repairs. These are
some of the ways in which American forests
are going. There are others. The manu-
f.cture Of packing boxes, for instance, costs,
in one year, $22,0000OO, while the timber
used each year in making wagons and agri-
cultural implements, is valued at more than
s!00,OO0 O00.-IndustriaI World.

SELECTION OF VEGETABLEs-Peter 3.
writing on vegetables in the Rural NeoO
Yorker, gives the following list as best:
The earliest kinds of corn are the Dolly
Dutton, Tom Thumb, and Early Marblehead.
These have small ears, and at best can only
furnish taste until better come. Next to
the earliest is the Triumph, and after that
the Washington Market, by some called the
Egyptian. For a late sort the Stowcll's
Evergreen is not surpassed. Of bush
squashes there is none so good as the green
striped Bergen. It is fit to eat when not
much larger than walnut, and continues
good until late. Next in order is the Sum-
mer Crook-neck and the Scollop or Patty
Pan. These must be eaten when young or
before the shell gets hard. For running
squashes the Hubbard or the Perfect Gem
are the best.
Among peas Bliss American Wonder is
the best dwarf TO follcw this the Alpha
may be selected, which is scarcely surpassed
in excellence by any pea, early or late. Add
to these the Champion of England and for
the small garden we need nothing more.
These three kinds, if sown at the same time,
will follow each other in regular succession
OF cucumbers the little Early Russian is
not surpassed in quality, is very productive,
and the edible part equals that of many
kinds more than twice its size. Another
good variety is the White Spine.
The tomato list is very extended The
Acme is one of the best and most useful in
the list.
OF peppers, the Cayenne is grown for red
pepper and the Bird or Chill for pepper
sauce and the Sweet Mountain will do for
picking.
If confined to one kind of lettuce should
grow the Tom Thumb, an early small
headed variety, with a delicious, nutty
flavor. Adding another, it would be the Bos-
ton Market or the Golden Stone Head, and
for summer use the American Gathering is
the best of all. The last does not make so
solid a head as the preceding, but it is very
tender, fine favored, and altogether beau
tiful plant. With late sowings it is better
to be sown in drills where it is to remain
and be thinned out
OF radshes, the French Breakfast radish
is the only one that will be needed in the
small garden, except that the Scarlet Chinese
may be sown in the fall for use in winter.
1t will keep as well as a turnip.

ct TOLD you So"

A farmer sat on rsds settee
As the April sun went down.
The smoke from his pipe eurled gracefully
Up frsr1 the rafters brown.
His good wife stepped to the door, quoth she:
BE keerful, Hezekiah,
Thee'n drop thy pipe, right presently.
And the domicile thouIt fire."
He srinned zlsesotno grin. nor spoke
As his wife. the doorway closed,
Then went to sleep. and cloud OF smoke
In the porch right soon arose,
And it wrapped the house about, in flames
The farmer soon did roast,
And they cfispOd the BARNS and dairy danes
And turned them ell to toast
Bot the good wifei Yes. o'en her they eharred
But she mustered strength to 60
To the black remains of her roasted paid
And say. Il told you so.'
