The ADVANTAGES OF a RooF CROP
A root crop not only furnishes a large
quantity of the best kind of fodder for
cattle, sheep and pigs, equal to the feed
ing of six head of cattle for six months,
from an acre of ground; but it enables
the farmer to use up all his straw for
feeding, instead of wasting 1t to a large
extent for litter. Anything that can be
fed to animals, is wasted when used for
litter to the extent of the flesh or milk
that ear be made from it, and the in
creased availability of the manure made
from the fodder. So that when a farmer
can use all his straw by cutting it up
with pulped roots, his root crop is
doubly advantageous. The straw, aid.
ed by a little cotton seed meal, then be-
comes as nutritious feeding as hay, and
serves the farmer a more valuable pur-
pose than if it were employed for litter
alone.

PROFIT IN SMALL FRUITS. "A CORE.
spondent of long experience has taught
me that profit in growing small fruits
for market lies in the direction of quail
ity not quantity. This certainly is true
in the larger cities, and especially so OF
the New York market. There was a
time when a strawberry was a straw
and consumers had little ability
to discriminate, but this period has
passed away. General attention has
been called to the fact that there are
distinct varieties of strawberries, as
there are Of apples, pears and grapes.

OF a fruit grower who sent hundreds of

gest to growers whose eyes follow these

AGRICULTURE.

WHy REEF Is HraH.-The wonder ~
often expressed in these days OF big
cattle ranches and refrigerator cars that
meat should remain so nigh In prlee'
An examination of the cattle STATISTICS
gathered BY the Bureau OF Agriculture
will be sufficient to dlspel all wondering
on this account.
It appears By these statistics that
over large and important areas OF the
United States the number of cattle are
actually decreasing, while the average
increase the country over Is In mucn
smaller ratio than the increase Of popu-
lation.
There was q decrease in the number
Of cattle between January, 1884, and
January. 1885, in the Eastern States,
including New England, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, OF 2l,l3l
head. The decrease in the Southern
States, including Texas, was 1854. In
the five Western States east OF the Mis-
issippI-Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michl-
ran. and Wisconsin-the increase was
less than the loss in the South, or about
30 900 head. These figures show an
actual decrease in the number OF cattle
in all the States east of the Mississippi
and including Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas west Of that river of
SO, 900 head, leaving the increase, it
auy, to be confined entirely to the
Northwestern States and Territories.

aggregate cattle number nearly 2O,UOU,-
900 head there was an actual loss, while
in the States and Territories of the
Northwest, where the total is q triie
more than one third of that number,
there was a gain Of ten per cent. In
the Pacific States and Territories the
gain was insignificant, being less than
the proportionate increase in popula-
ton.

will take place in due time, but the be
trothal is always in the distance.
In old days, under such circumstances
the father of the girl would long ago
have sought private interview with the
young man, during which he would have
asked him to declare his intentions as to
his daughter-whether he seriously pro
posed marriage, or was only amusing
himself at the expense Of her prospects
of a settlement In England that is still
the practice largely, but here it no long
er prevails. And yet a girl ought not to
be left in the uncertainty in which our
correspondent keeps his beloved one.
Her whole life may be spoiled because Of
it.
We therefore say to INN that he should
come to the point at once, at once put
the momentous question, and go forth
either transported with the delight Of an
engaged man or cast down into the mis-
cry of rejected lover. He should not
compel her to draw inference only, but
tell Eer plainly the state Of his feelings,
and declare unmistakably what his pur-
pose in seeking her society is. Then it
will be for her to say whether she viii
accept him with the prospect Of a long
engagement; and of course he cannot
ask her to wait for him without formally
and firmly engaging himself to her
Such engagements are unfortunate,
but necessity forces them in the case of
many young men who have their own
living to make. His prudence in hesita-
ting to assume the responsibilities of
matrimony until he is ready to sustain
them, until he can support bride prop
erly, is altogether creditable to him. 1t
indicates that he has good sense, self
control, and the desire to Worthily pro-
vide for the object of his affections. He
does not rush into marriage blindfold,
careless Of her welfare, but stops to make
ready for her a suitable home and ade-
quate support. If she is a sensible girl
she will like him all the better because
of his prudent regard for her comfort,
and will wait for him accordingly.
Let him make the engagement no lon
ger than necessity forces. But an en-
gagement of Indefinite duration, objec-
tionable as it is, is far better than keep
ing company indefinitely without an up
and down betrothal.
Oh, yes, give her the ringto commem-
crate the ecstatic hour, andsimbolize the
endlessness of your devotion.

By keeping company with young
woman our correspondent means what is
otherwise known as paying particular
attentions to her, and even more than
that. He not only goes about with this
girl and visits her, but also expects to
enjoy her society to the exclusion of 9TH
er men. He would probably resent her
appearance in public with another young
man not of her kin as breach of pre-
priety, if not as flagrant offence against
himself. AT any rate, he would mourn
over it as an indication that she was dis
posed to break with him.
He has thus kept company with hel

to their acquaitances as her particular

Our Disappearing Forests.


The reckless irnprovidence with which
the forests Of this country are being de-
atroyed is likely to bring its own punish
ment with it. - Prof. Sargent's report
upon the present condition of our forests
has been published as a part of the tenth
census. From this it appears the loss
from forest fires alone amounts to up
ward Of S20,0o0, coo annually; the rail-
ways destroy upward of $4,000, 900 fine
young trees every year for ties; the
frame houses, which form SO Characters
tic q feature Of AN American landscape,
use up the lumber from millions of acres
annually. As yet No process of repara-
ton has begun; We cut down but do not
repiant, The consequence Is seen in the
greater frequency Of droughts and floods
along our large rivers, the impaired fer
tility of the deruied soil and the increas-
ed cost Of fuel and building material.
The report shows that it isquite time to
turn over q new leaf. We should hus-
