BRITISH COLUMBIA Mr.. James Fell,
whose arrival from the main land is am
nouuced elsewhere, has recently been
over the railway as far IA it is complet-
ed. He states that the road is in good
running order for distance OF some 10
miles above Yale, and that rapid pro-
gress is being made on the lower section
of the line. The labor, however, en-
ployed there is almost entirely Chinese.
Business is lively at Hope. The steamer
Scuzzy, built by the railroad contract
ors, has been tOwed to IA spot within a
few miles of the Suspension Bridge and
a further effort will be made to get her
through the canyon to Boston Bar,
Whilst the steamer was being tOwed, the
hawser, which was of extraordinary
length and strength, broke, and one OF
the ends was fastened to the train on
which Mr.. Fell was passenger, and was
hauled out of the river and thus saved.
The quantity of dead salmon in the Fra
ser, above Hope, is astonishing, and the
bottoms of ponds above Yale are liter
ally covered with defunct members of
the finny tribe. The stencil arising from
the decayed matter is abominable, and
the water in places is so strongly i'm
pregnated that horses and cattle refuse
to drink it. The main trunk wagon
road is in splendid condition STANDARD.

Progress of Tree Culture.

s. f. Chronicle.l
1t is said that the law of Congress
giving to settlers on the public do
main quarter section of land in ad
dition to that which they may claim
as a homestead, on condition that
they plant it with forest trees, is hav-
ing important results, no less than
$4,000 acres having been planted in
forest within the last three years in
Kansas alone. BY the terms of the
law the government gives the pioneer
one hundred and sixty acres of land
for setting out thereon six hundred
and seventy-fve trees. The first year
he is to plow five acres of ground.
The second year he is to SOW some
kind of crop on this ground, and
break another plot of the same size.
The third year he is to SOW trees,
27OO to the acre, on the first five acres,
and grain on the second; and the
fourth year he is to SOW the second
five acres to trees. If at the end of
eight years he has six hundred and
seventy.fve hourishing trees, he is
entitled to patent for his land. In
Minnesota and Nebraska these trees
are sowed or planted in rows, and
they are already SO numerous and SO
far advanced as to form distinctive
features of the landscape. In Illinois
it is thought that the growth of trees
has already favorably affected the
climate. Before the advent of the
whites the timber had all been de
stroyed except along the creeks, by
prairie fires set by Indians. These
ceased thirty years ago, and since
then the forest trees have been grad
ually encroaching ON the prairie, with
the good results stated, to which no
doubt the vast areas of garden and
orchard have contributed.
The general law of Congress en-
couraging forest culture cannot be of
great advantage to California. Our
open lands are already settled, and
those portions Of the public domain
that remain untaken have a growth
of trees or chaparral. Here and there,
however, are tracts which settlers may
utilize according to the terms of the
law. Our tree culture as has already
been suggested in these columns, will
have to depend principally on indi-
vidual effort, encouraged by our agri-
cultural societies. Though fruit trees
cannot be expected to have the same
climatic effects as forest trees, they
will greatly assist in mitigating the
harshness of some of our peculiar
winds, and, by retaining the moisture
in the soil, increase the rainfall, or
at least, render it much more effec
tive The fact that we have had
good crops for five successive seasons
seems to indicate that our climate is
undergoing important notifications.

States it was below 80. In some States
it runs this year to 100; in one l59-1OO
being par. The crop of 1880 was the
largest ever produced to that time. 1t
fell 5S,000,O0O bushels short of the Blu
reau's estimate for this year, and the re-
ports that are coming in from the great
wheat States all indicate that the Bureau
estimate is too low. In Kansas, Nebraka
and Dakota, Is to % bushels per acre are
being realized. The general average
will not fall short of 10 bushels in all
the Western wheat States The corn
crop is highly spoken of. An aggregate
of 1,90O,0OO,000 bushels is predicted 1t
exceeds that of any previous year, and is
probably too low. The st. Louis Re-
publican, advising the farmers of that
State to hoard a large part OF this years
corn crop, predicts an aggregate for that
State of 250,0O0,000 bushels; the area
planted being 5,S00,0OO acres, and the
average per acre 45 bushels, The high
est figures ever reached before by Mis-
souri, were 202,0000OO bushels, from s.
5OO,0 600 acres at an average of 36 bushels
per acre, in 1879. The estimated average
this year is 8 bushels, or % per cent
more per acre than in 1879.

SUGGESTIONS OF VALUE.

WILD mint scattered about the house
will rid it of rats and mice.
MIRRORS should not be hung where
the sun shines directly upon them.
WARM soap-suds will keep the bugs
off of house-plants and make them grow
very fast.
To REMOVE fnger-marks, putty-stains,
etc. from glass, put little soda In the
water with which you wash 1T.
If kid gloves are laid upon damp
towel for two or three minutes, they
will so on with less chance of tearing.
D1sH-TowELs and dish-cloths should
be washed, scalded, and thoroughly
dried every day, or they soon become
nusty.
To KEEP linen from turning yellow
put it away rough dry after washing
and bleaching we'll and rinsing in blue
water
A BROOM may be kept in good condi-
ton for long time if it is washed once
a week in clean hot suds, and then hung
up to dry.
COOP flour is not tested by its color.
White flour may not be the best. The
test of good -four is by the amount of
water it absorbs.
A RANGE may be kept looking bright
and nice with little trouble if it is wiped
carefully with brown paper after greasy
food has been cooked.
To CLEAN white kid shoes rub them
gently and thoroughly with perfectly
clean white flannel cloth dipped in di
luted ammonia water and white soap.
To REMOVE ink-stains from wood, take
half teaspoonful of oil of vitrol and
dilute it with teaspoonful of water,
and apply with feather to the damaged
spot. Let it remain for few moments
and then rub it off quickly. If not sue
ink is entirely removed.
IT is an excellent plan to keep large
box in which all odds and ends of vel
vet, ribbons, etc, are keep. Such an
omnium gatherum will prove mine
from which bindings, bonnet trimmings
and other minor necessaries may FREE
quently be extracted at need, and thus
save many dime or 25-cent piece.
THE appended recipe for tanning
skins with the wool or fur on-for use
IN sleighs or wagons, or house-rugs, or
for other purposes-is given by City
and Country: of the hides are not
freshly taken off, soak them in water
with IA little salt until they are soft as
when green. Then scrape the flesh off
with the tleshing knife, or with a smooth
round edge, and with sheepskins the
wool should be washed clean with soft
soap and water and the suds thoroughly
rinsed out. For each skin take four
ounces of salt, four ounces Of alum and
one ounce of borax. Dissolve these in
one quart of hot water, and when cool
enough to bear the hand stir in suffi-
cient rye meal to make thick paste
with half an ounce of Spanish whiting.
This paste is to be spread over every
part of the flesh side of the skin, which
should be folded together lengthwise,
wool side out, and left for two weeks in
an airy place. Then remove the paste,
wash and dry the skin. When not quite
dry it must be worked and pulled ont
and scraped with knife made for the
purpose, shaped like chopping knife,
or with piece of hard wood made
with sharp edge. The more the skin
is scraped and worked as it dries the
more pliable it will be-"
