Planting a Forest.

The first, the fundamental point in tree
planting on large scale, that is, in plant
ing what may be called a forest, is to con-
slider the trees as crop, like any other
crop, only this requires a much longer
time than ordinary crops to come to ma
turity. This will at once put the subject
to many ifnot to most persons in new
aspect. Accepting the idea that trees are
to be planted like corn or wheat, as
crop, there follows at once the necessity
of care and cultivation and the consid-
Grafton that these are the conditions of
success. We do not expect to harvest an
ordinary crop, and one that will yield a
satisfactory pecuniary return, without
having bestowed upon it care and labor.
No more should we look for success in
the larger growths of the forest without
a corresponding culture. And when we
come to look upon the growth of forest
in this light we shall easily, almost inev-
itably, regard our ordinary native for
ests, where the trees are simply suffered
to grow up in complete neglect. exposed
to injury from the intrusions of cattle
and from other causes, as at best only
partial utilization of the fields which Ma
ture has provided for our comfort and
profit. It is true that trees will grow
and come to maturity in rough places
and on poor soils, where nothing else
will grow or where the cultivation of
other cropsis impracticable and unprofit-
able. 1t is true also that the growth of
these great forest ,rops, instead of inn
poverishlng, enriches the soil. Hence
there is no use of our poor and what we
call waste lands; which abound more or
less everywhere, at once so economical
and profitable as to devote them to the
growth of trees. Left to themselves, as
our forests and woodlands generally are.
they are remunerative. But they might
be made much more remunerative. They
would be, if. instead of regarding them
as one of the accidental products of Ma
ture, we were to regard them as one of
our staple crops. something to be man
aged and cared for by us.-N Il. Egle-
ston, in Popular Science Monthly.

Mesquite Gum.

1t has been found (says the Northeast
srn Lupiber7na,a) that the mesquite tree
of Texas is identical with, or at least
vastly similar to the acyacia tree of the
East, from which is obtained the gum
arabic of commerce, and an industry in
the direction of collecting and utilizing
this gum is being developed. 1t is held
to be equal or superior to the imported
gum, and quite large quantities were
gathered last year and sold readily at
fifteen cents per pound. A mesquite
grove is q novel and interesting sight,
The encasings of the tree branches being
likened to transparent crystal armor.
rejecting the suns rays, and glittering
and glowing like unto some golden har-
vest. The gum is capable of being
handled with great expedition and fa-
cility, the trees always growing in groves
and to medium height. Cattle are also
fond of the gum, and eat it from the trees
where it is in reach. tits believed that
were the mesquite cared for like the ma
Die, and proper operations followed, the
project of gum-raising would be . tessi-
bic and profitable one.

Save Your Wives.

When q man has been so fortunate as to wed

the general health begins to fail, and weak

make life miserable. The cheeks become pale,
the eyes grow listless, the hearts action en-

that all his available means are IN

would eagerly go into the Cotton

it will effect me less than themselves.
Its simplicity is its chief rccommen-

means to meet the demands of the

When we noticed the candidacy
of the above named gentleman for
the position of Circuit Judge, we
failed to give some points in his his
tory highly honorable to him as a
good citizen, and which should not
be forgotten by the voters of Missis-
sippi county. Col. Frierson served
us for -four years in the state senate,
from 1871 to 1874, and was Presi-
dent Of the senate during the Brooks
Baxter war, at the session when Jas.
ii. Berry, the democratic candidate
for Governor, was speaker of the
House. The proclamation of Prcsi-
dent Grant, Withdrawing the troops
and recognizing the Baxter Govern
ment was addressed to Fricrson as
President of the Senate. He immc-
diately, assisted by Berry, drew the
bill calling the constitutional conven-
ton, and it passed the next day. He
was elected member Of the Con-
vention from Cross county, and took
a leading part. As a iurist, legisla-
tor and sterling patriot, his merit is
only exceeded by his modcsty. He
is kind, aflable and unassuming, and
wins friends wherever he goes; and
better than all this, he is sober,
high-mindcd christian gentleman,
and an active friend and promoter of
every good work looking to the clc-
walton and advancement of our pco-
pie. We do not intend to take sides
in the race for Circuit Judge. What
we have stated has been said as an
act of simple justice TO a good man,
who stood by his people in the hour
of their adversely, and who has so far,
reapcd no other benefit from his la
bors than the approval of his con
science, and the love and esteem of
all who know him.

Elsewhere will be found the call of
the Democratic County Executive
Committee for Primary Election, TO
take place on the 26,h. day of this
month. This step, though little
late in the canvass, we deem right
and proper, rendered so by the many
individual interests at stake, and the
combination of circumstances sur
rounding the political outlook, and
which threatens the safety of the
democratic party in our county. For
many reasons, which will readily
suggest themselves to the people at
large, we believe the time has come
in Mississippi County when the party
line should be drawn and defined.
Let the people turn out i'll full force
and give expression as to their choice
for the various county offices put
out your strongest men as standard
bearers and let the Republicans and
their allies do their worst. This step
is independent of the wishes of the
candidates; they have not been con-
suited, nor have they been requested
to abide by the decision Of the pri-
marics. 1t is II movement of the
people, by the people, and for their
own safety. Tmn out everybody.
