Forest Planting in sport.

You may think, boys, perhaps, that
we have trees and woods enough. But
men who have studied the subject viii
tell you that in many parts of our land
we have already cut down too many,
When all the grand old trees have been
removed from a hillside the rains be-
gin to wash away the soil, and the
mountain slope that was once SO green
and shady soon becomes a barren and
stony tract. This is the case near Boston,
at place called Middlesex Falls. The
land here was formerly covered with
white pine; now, whole tracts are bare
and useless. The people are therefore
trying TO replant trees and restore the
old forest.
lately read a pretty story how
forest was replanted in a part of Swift
zerland. The people in an old town
there determined, like the people of
Middlesex Falls, to transform piece of
waste land into a forest They thought
it would be a good plan to give the
job to the school-boys and school
girls in the village. So they
gave the schools a holiday one day, and
then arranged all the boys and girls in
ranks, with a drummer and ifer at the
head and away they marched merrily.
A wagon followed with some light
spades, and bags of acorns and nuts
and other seeds, and a good many bas-
kets of things good to eat. The plant
ing, you see, was to be kind of picnic.
When the children--who, you may be
sure, were pleased at this frolic in the
country, were wondering what they
would have to do next-came TO the
spot, the boys were called forward and
put in line. Then spades and pickaxes
were given them, and they were told to
dig some holes several yards apart.
While the boys were digging the first
line of holes, the girls were placed in
line, one girl behind each boy, and a
bag of acorns given to each. When the
row of holes. was finished. the boys
shouldered their spades and marched a
few yards forward to make another
row. The girls then advanced and
dropped two or three acorns in each
hole.
So the work went gayly on until
they all took recess. The picnic
baskets were opened, and, as every
body had q good appetite, were soon

were all in good spirits, because they

weeks, in each of which holiday for
planting was given, and the work was
soon finished. lit is fifty years ago. .

Cooperation, when properly admin
istered, is one of the greatest aids to
the laboring people. We present to you,
the workingmen of Denver, an oppor-
tunity to cooperate in simple way, but
an effective one. 1t is for, you to- pat
ronize the merchants who advertise in
your paper. Very few papers exist alone
on their subscription lists-no matter
how large. Advertising is the back
bone of ninety-nine out of one hundred
papers. Therefore, we ask you to help
US along by patronizing the houses that
patronize US with their advertisements,
everything else being equal. In our
columns will be found the very best
houses in the city, in their respective
lines, and are always as cheap as
others. When you want anything, re-
member who that sells it advertises in
your paper, and call and see them. If
they do not treat you well, do not trade
with them, but 60 somewhere else. Will
you do this much to help along journal
that advocates no cause save yours, and
knows no rights that are not yours?
