planted for protection against the severi-
ties Of summer and winter storms and
high winds. In almost every one Of the
once bare and shadeless prairie fields
there are now to be seen at proper dis
tances and localities and in sufficient
numbers trees under which the cattle
can find in hot weather some shady es.
cape from the blazing sunlight. At all
convenient fence corners and along the
roadsides there are trees growing up all
over Illinois where once there was not
o shade-tree to be seen in DAYS Jour
ney. Where orchards can be success
fully maintained, they are to be found,
but as these are not to be depended on,
there are thousands of lots of five. ten.
twenty and even forty acres to be seen
on which are growing vigorously trees Of
every variety, including oak, walnut,
hickory, ash, maple, beech, locust. viii.
low, chestnut, buckeye, and other vari.
cites OF trees. As general thing the
growth OF these trees in our prairie LAM
is vigorous and healthy. They are al
ready numerous enough and far enough
advanced to give life and beauty to the
landscape this is strikingly evident by
contrasting farm thus literally planted
with one on which the dry rail fence is
the only thing visible above the naked
prairie. Thousands of farms on tina
prairies have now groves and small for
ests already sufficiently grown to furnish
firewood.
1t is to be hoped that this great work
will be continued until the landscape O.
Illinois, and of Iowa, and of the prairies
generally, will be as diversified with for.
est, grove and plain as is possible in the
absence of hills and valleys. This i'm.
provement, which costs so little, and
which will add so much to the value
and to the comfort of our Western farrnc.
is one of the best Investments that can
be made. Every man owning farm
should put few acres in trees, and
should plant tree Mt every available
corner where it can be utilized for any
purpose. Chicago tribune.

MORE TREES WANTED IN THE
PRAIRIE STATES.


During the last twenty years, and e.
pecially during the last ten years, much
has been done in the way OF planting
trees upon the prairies Of Illinois, Iowa
and Kansas, but it is the result OF indi-
vidual intelligence and taste more than
of public enterprise. Ten years ago
when it was proposed to place in the
constitution of this State a clause re-
quiring county boards to encourage the
planting OF trees along public roads, and
generally throughout the State, it was
rejected on the ground that to plant
trees ON the roadside would shade too
much land and injure the value OF farms.
There has since then more intelligent
sentiment grown up in favor OF tree
planting. In some parts Of the West
there have been exemptions from taxes
voted to land on which groves and for
ests have been planted. In other parts
land has been voted by the section TO
those who have planted lots Of eighty or
100 acres aud have seen that the growing
trees were properly cared for. But in
this State the planting OF trees has been
matter Of individual care. Thousands
Of farmers have planted groves near
their dwellings and barns; others have
taken strips along tho exposed sides d
their farms and planted them with tos.

rHIRsr AT SEA.

The agony Of thirst at sea-when mid
ocean calms or disasters, that leave sail
ors ahoat but shipless, have deprived q
crew Of their supply OF fresh water-is
aggravated fearfully by the sight Of the
very element'they long for but cannot
enjoy. AS Coleridge in his "Ancient
Mariner exactly expresses the situation:
Water, water everywhere,
And not drop to drink.
Nearly hundred years ago DIR. Lind
suggested to Capt. Kennedy that thirst
might be quenched at sea by dipping the
clothes into salt water and putting them
on without wringing. Subsequently the
Captain, ON being east away, had an OPP
portunity OF making the experiment.
With great difficulty he succeeded in
persuading part Of the men to follow his
example, and they all survived; while
the four who refused, and drank salt wa
ter, became delirious and died.
In addition to putting on the clothes
while wet. night and morning. they may
be wetted while on two or three times
during the day. Capt. Kennedy goes
on to say; AFTER these operations We
uniformly found that the violent drought
went "a, and the parched tongue was
cured in a few minutes.

clothes We found ourselves - much ~

NHWspAFER work AND WORKERS

In an article on Newspaper Work
and Workers it is truthiully remarked
that there is no other profession but en-
joys immunity from observation as to its
modes. The preacher writes in the
privacy of his study, and can concoct
plotitudes or pad out plagiarisms that
would be the ruin Of the editor and the
reporter The lawyer consults his client
and organizes his campaign in private,
bringing into court only as much rs
makes for his cause and against the cause
OF his adversary. The doctor plies his
potions and launches in his lancet in
secret. If the patient RECEIVERS, it may
be this medicine or it may be in spite of
it; if he die, it may be the pills or Prov
idence, the physician is scathless. None
of these come to light that their deeds
may be reproved.
Moreover, the work of the press is
continuous, MS well as constantly pub
lie. There is no rest for the weary.
Space is no more annihilated by tele.
graph than time by journalism. The
evening and the morning are not merely
the first uay but all the seven. Night
is annihilated as to all its quantities Of
repose.
Every minute of every hour of the
twenty-four is occupied by some workers
doing some work that shows itself in the
newspapers of the day and afternoon
Repetition is as impossible as rest.
Facts are ever new. Comments must
be as fresh as facts, and the edition is
the remorseless giant that eats up all
the seconds. The making of newspapers
is perpetual motion in thousand fields.
In such n work, demanding ceaseless
effort, permitting no pause, exacting
eternal and ever-varying exercise, it is
impossible for wheat to be unmixed
with chaff, for accuracy not to be i'm
pairee by mistakes, for injustice not
occasionally to be done.

PRIvATE ABUsE or A NEWspAp

PRTgITE ABUSE or 4 NEUSPAPER.
Some people think they are very
smart when they abuse a newspaper or
editor. They forget that many papers
have largely profited by becoming the
objects of these attacks, and that some
editors have thriven on being as
saulted.
Aside from this consideration, it
should be remembered that an editor is
often obliged to carry very delicate po-
sition. His sense of right will sometimes
cause'him to attack or defend man, q
business, a class or cause at the risk of
making enemies of others, only to find
those in whose interests he has labored
display ingratitude.
OF course no level headed editor ex-
poets to find much gratitude or charity.
He must generally be content with the
approval of his own conscience, and
pursue the course he believes to be
right, regardless of either frowns or
smiles, supported by his conscious
rectitude.
1t will come all right in the end. 1t
is hard to be misunderstood, and to find
those to whose support you have earned

WINGED was right, but you will thereby
