A STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE.-The
beech, according to Mons. Hansen Blan-
sted, is supplanting other trees in the
forests Of Denmark. It's readiest cou-
quests are made in its struggle with the
birch, which is rapidly disappearing be-
fore it. and which now forms forests
only where the soil is too poor to sup
port the beech. The earlier forests of
the country were composed mainly of
aspen, with which the birch was appa-
rently associated but as the soil and
climate improved the fir appeared in
great numbers and ruled for centuries
The 6rst place was then gained by the
holm oak, which is now, like the birch
and fir, but more slowly, being replaced
by the beech. The super Iiority OF the
beech seems 70 lie in its power of grow
ing in the shade of any trees while 9th
er trees are unable to develop in the
shadows of its own dense foliage.

HAVE AN ICE HOUSE.

Farmers with their winters leisure,
idle teams and other advantages to lay
in a years supply Of ice should be the
last persons to go without this luxury
of summer time, and yet they perhaps
oftener get along without using ice than
any other class. The work and expense
of building good ice house is small
matter. We believe more persons fail
in erecting suitable ice preserving
building who start out to get up an
elaborate affair at considerable cost
than when the aim is to make a cheap
one We will describe the main points
for constructing a very simple but ex-
cellent ice house, that any farmer could
put up in a day or two. Let it be said
first of all that the important points OF
a good ice house are drainage below, but
without open drains through which air
can enter into the house ample Ventil-
lation above to secure the ready es-
cape of the constantly rising vapors
from the ice, aud then the use of an
abundance of non-conducting material,
such as saw-dust or tan bark for main
tanning a low temperature in the inte-
rior. A start may be made by getting
up, for a moderate sized house, a double
wall sixteen by sixteen feet, or else lar
ger one way, ten feet high at the sides
and higher at the ends, consisting of
uprights, size two inches by six inches,
set crOsswise. and four feet apart, close
ly boarded up inside and outside. This
wall should rest on sills to which the
uprights should be tow nailed. a quar-
ter-pitch roof, in which two-inch by
four inch scantling are used as rafters,
and projecting over the edge of the
building a foot or more should form the
cover. III this, at :be ridge, there
should be an ample sized ventilator.-
For packing material sawdust or spent
tanbark is about the best. The outside
wall should be packed with this. A
foot deep of the same material should
be placed in the bottom OF the interior
of the house before putting in the ice.
Then the ice should be kept one foot
away from the wall all around, and this
space be packed With the non-cOnduct-
ing material. The ice should not be
carried higher than to within Two feet
OF the top of the side walls, and then Il
sawdust or bark coat two feet thick
should cover all in completing the pack
ing away. The door is to be brought
in at one END, swinging outwards.
Loose cross boards should be set up
against the opening at the inside as the
may come away, one by one, during the
season as consumption goes on.

FERTILIZERS.

When the soil has in itself a certain
power of capibility of production which
may be Indefinitely drawn upon for
the growth of crops, yet this product is
neither satisfactory nor profitable to the
farmer. The farmer works fol subsist-
ence and profit, and requires TO gather
from his fields the utmost yield which
he can force from then. To reach this
desired end he is obliged to add to the
soil certain waste matters which he can
procure OF certain substances which he
can purchase, which will supply to it
those ingredients OF the crops which
these draw from it, and by thus adding
to the resources of the soil to increase
the yield from 1t. But this addition of
manures to the soil has another useful
effect, vix. that o! exercising chem
ical action upon the soil itself and liber
atiDg from it portion of its mineral
elements of fertility, mainly consisting
of potash and phosphoric acid, This is
certainly the most important effect of
applications OF manure, and accounts for
the fact that the crop is benefited more
largely by certain quantity OF manure,
than could have been expected from the
manure itself. The effect is caused by
the liberation of carbonic and other acids
during the decomposition of the manure
which exert a chemical influence upon
the PARTICLES of soil and so render these
more soluble than they were before
Further, the roots o: the plants growing
in any soil have power of decomposing
the mineral PARTICLES in a degree COM
mensurate with their vigor of growth, so
that luxuriant crop, made by abundant
manure in the soil, actually exhausrs the
soil more, and draws from it more than
it could have done had it not been made
capable of doing this by the action of The
manure in invigOrati0g the crop. This
effect may be compared to the more Zig
orous appetite possessed by well nour-
ished person or animal, who is able TO
consume, digest and assimilate more by
reason Of his or its robustness of health.
Such analogies as this may be found IN
nearly every direction in which the phys
ical laws of plant or animal growth are
explored, and they offer both inducement
and reward in their pleasing results to
the study by farmers, young and old, of
the science and principles upon which
their art is founded.-N. Y. Times.
