Trees for the Prairie.

At late meeting of the Iowa State
Agricultural Society at Des Moines,
Prof. j. l.. Budd, of the Agricultural
College, Ames, in discourse upon For
est Planting, and trees adapted to the
farm, subject to which he has given
twenty years study, advises as follows;
In the timber plantation for varied
farm uses and manufacturing purposes
the few most valuable species should
alone be planted. Black Walnut, But
ternut, Black Cherry, Honey Locust,
Yellow Locust, Green Ash, Hardy Ca
talpa and White Poplar, would make a
very good list for the average farm.
Perhaps two of the species named
should have a word in their defense, AS
they are by no means popular at pres
ent among our tree planters. The yell
low locust is supposed to be subject to
the attack of the borers, and abele or
white poplar is objected to on account
or its tendency te sprouting. In prac-
tice the locust has been found exempt
from damage where grown intermin-
gled with other timber, and the white
poplar has not been subject to sprout-
ing except in outside rows, which may
be planted without non-sprouting spe-
cies. AS few of our people have expe-
rience with this poplar as grove tree,

Transplanting Trees in Winter.

There is no more favorable time for
transplanting trees than the winter.
When properly done the holes should,
of course, be dug when the ground is
not frozen and the soil placed in COM
pact heap and covered on the south of
the hillock with some course litter from
the horse stable to keep a portion of the
soil from freezing, which will give the
planter access at any time during the
winter. Sufficient loose soil to pack
about the ball of earth will be taken up
with the tree, which will be nearly sufli-
cient of itself to fill the receptacle, and
the dressing will be Just where wanted
to spread about the tree for winter pro-
lection and for immediate nourishment
in the spring. Experience has taught
me that it is highly needful to furnish
some fertilizer for all transplanted trees
at the time of removal. In balling out
trees it is not advisable to wait until the
ground is frozen hard, as is often done,
which greatly increases the labor and
expense. 1t is only necessary to dig a
narrow trench about the tree, which
may be quite near the trunk, the soil
being damp at this season will be held
by the many tibrous roots from falling in
the trench, which should be deep
enough for cutting down through the
horizontal roots which with most trees
will REQUIRE n depth of from fifteen to
twenty inches. LAYING bare the top
roots. Having dug about all the trees
in like manner ali Won have to do is to
wait until the ball of earth is frozen,
when YOU have only to chop off the
main perpendicular root, and with the
trunk for n lever two men can readily
load upon stone-boat or sleigh tree.

Natures Housekeeping.

Nature has many of what we are ac-
customed to call the small economies of
life. She does nothing without pur-
pose, and she has n horror of waste. In
the world of living beings, particularly,
is she careful of her materials. II is no
easy lift to bring matter up to the Or
ganic level. She has to call in the sun
to her assistance, and get their united
shoulders under the load, ere it can be
raised to the required height; and she
can not afford to let it down again while
there is any pith left in it,
1t is interesting to follow her through
this portion of her housekeeping, and
watch the care with which she gets all
the life-force possible out of her organic
stock in trade, letting not a crumb goto
waste. She invites guest with a
special appetite for every morsel--
guests furnished with teeth to rend, nip
and gnaw, claws to tear, augers and
chisels to bore and gouge, saws, drills,
punches and suction-tubes-tha nc
fragment of the feast shall be left on the
unswept tables.
There are guests of every shape, size,
and description, alike only in the one
particular of being normally hungry.
Like the sitters-down at public din
ner, they all seem TO have been saving
up appetite for the occasion. Some
there are, indeed, of such omnivorous
tastes that we would be quite willing tc
have them left out from the general in.
vitation. But that is not Dame Ma
tme's way. Every crumb must be
eaten; and we know little of her facility

not find tooth for every hard morsel
She is ready for any such emergency
and you will be bound to find som,

The taste of ginger cookies can be

The New England Homestead, upon
the subject of soils, correctly says: The
qualities of heating and of retaining
heat are very ditlere We often heal
the term, g. cold, wet soil" A wei
soil warns slowly, because water won't
heat from the top quickly. But wher
once warmed it holds its heat longer
and at night is as warm if not warmer
than dry soil This has been proved
by repeated experiments at the Agri.
cultural College. Since wet soils are SC
retentive of heat they are preferable for
some plants on this account, The main
thing necessary to have these produce
good crops is to aerate them thor
oughly, so that the chemical actor
necessary to produce plant food may
go on. .fu

Iceland is well located for summer
residence, being in the Northern Allan
tic on the confines of the Arctic Ocean.
Nearly all the icebergs on their way
from the pole to the Gulf of Mexico stop
there to wood and water, which has an
enlivening effect on business. Iceland
has about seventy thousand inhabitants,
chiefly of Scandinavian origin, though a
Scan. mag. case is almost unknown
among them. They are strictly honest;
an ice house can be left unlocked on the
darkest night without a lump being
raised.
Iceland was discovered in the eighth
century by Norwegian ice-dealer, who
was searching for that commodity one
very mild winter when his usual sources
of supply had failed, and he struck this
island, which just flowed with it, SO he
called it Iceland, and nice land it has
been ever since. 1t was republic for
four hundred years, but now owes ale
glance to Denmark. Hamlet, during
one of his trips to Iceland, was nearly
frozen stiff, which gave rise to his es-
thetic exclamation:
20, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, etc."
1t was altogether too too for anything.
The island is warmed by numerous
volcanoes, and it is cold day when
they get left-without an eruption. II
they miss an eruption they are liable to
break out with the scurvy, which an
swers every purpose. Scurvy is the
National air of Iceland. When they
don't sing that they roar a borealis,
