Street Trees.

Nothing adds more to the CON-
forts and attractions of a town
than street trees. Their value is
almost universally conceded, vet
it is only within a few years that
organized efforts have been made
to plant trees, and improve the
general appearance of towns. In
many of the most progressive
towns are village improvement
societies that are doing great good
not only in planting trees and i'm
proving the surroundings of the
homes, but are e1erting by their
work an educating power that is of
great value. The work of improv-
ment in town ways and private
grounds is contagious. Many are
ready to improve their place if at
tention is called to the need of it,
and if they can see an easy way of
bring it about. A fine row of
trees in front of a neighbor is
very likely to stir up those in the
vicinity without trees to plant,
and town with streets lined with
fine shade trees e1erts an influence
on surrounding towns in the direc-
ton of tree planting.
The Rock or Sugar Maple is
one of the most popular trees at
the present time for street plant
ing; it is, like all Naples, free from
insect enemies, and does not draw
the vitality from the soil for |
great distance about it, as does the
Elm; the limbs are inclined up
ward, away from carriages, and the
autumn colorings are very gor- !
geous.
The American Elm is the ideal
street tree in growth and habit,
for it will grow rapidly in any
good soil, pushes its branches
above all surroundings, and forms
a perfect arch over street, and
allows sufficient sunlight to pass
through to keep the streets from
gloom and dampness. If it was
not for the exhausting power of
the roots on all soil within long
distance, and the ravages of the
canker worm on the foliage, it
would be the perfect street tree.
We have many other trees as
valuable as the Rock Maple that
should be planted along our
streets.
1t is mistake to plant only one
7ariety, for it is quite possible
hat some disease OF insect may
stack 1t and destroy or seriously 4

time of reaching the jobbers,
makes total of S46.35. Subtract
the thirty cents which the farmer
received from the corn, and the
balance S46.05, will show the anna
zing profits made by those who do
not till the soil to grow the corn,
but who multiply infinitely by
scientific means the mischievous
powers of the grain, and who from
this hurtful multiplication reap
easy, large and reliable profits.
The original prices of the bushel
of corn is contained 155 times in
the ultimate receipts from it. In
this way the enormous wasting
power Of alcoholic drink can be
easily understood.-New York

ship. Frequently, in late years,
the Rock Maple has been attacked
by disease similar to the pear
blight; limo covered with foliage
will wither and die, and it is not
rare to see a whole tree go in this
way. Ii this trouble should be-
come universal through some ia
voring causes imagine the havoc
that would be made in many towns;
but if there Was a large variety in
the shade trees the destruction
would be confined to the varieties
affected.
The Norway, Scarlet and Silver
leat Naples are valuable for street
plating. The Norway is one of the
few European trees that seem to
be long lived in our climate; it has
a rounder head and darker foliage
that the Rock Maple.
The American Linden, although
somewhat coarser than the Euro
pean species, is not injured by Dor
crs, and it is rapid growing and
symmetrical tree.
The White Ash is another very
rapid growing tree for street
plantingi in all soils; the outline of
the tree at maturity is broadly
oval or round. It makes q large
tree and colors in 4 very striking
and peculiar manner in the autumn.
The leaves on the inside of the
tree are a bright yellow and those
on the outside deep purple or red
ish brown.-Yicks Magazine.

Corn and Whiskey.

We are not very familiar with
the current prices of alcoholic
beverage, SO We cannot voush TO,
the accuracy of the figures giver
in the Milling World, from which
We make the following extract. Il
they are anywhere near the truth
both corn growers and whiskey
consumers ought to be made &C
quainted with their significance.
Let our correspondent, says the
editor, trace bushel of corn for
instance, from the field to the
drinkers glass. The grower works
at least two hours in raising a
bushel of corn. He sells the bush
ell for thirty cents on his farm. He
spends the thirty cents for two
drinks, thus parting forever with
his corn. Now follow the corn.
1t costs thirty cents, and is turned
into seventeen quarts of into1icat-
ing drink. The distillers receive
forty cents gallon for converting
it into whiskey. The corn in its
changed shape represents the orig
lnal thirty cents, and the 81. 70 for
the distiller, making its value at
this stage 81. Then the govern
ment tax of ninety cents a gallon
adds 1886 to the value, swelling it
to 1886. The bushel of corn now
passes on to the job salesman and
wholesalers, and through them to
the retailers. By the time it has
reached the retailers it has been
reduced" in strength and increas-
ed in quantity by the admixture of
water and other more harmful sub
stances, so that its measure has at
least been doubled, and the corn, |
when it begins to drop into the
glasses on the bar, rep
about eight and one-half
gallons of drink.
Allowing sixty drinks to the
gallon, tho official bar average,
;he bushel of corn will furnish
no drinks, which, at an average
# fifteen cents to the drink, will
axe $1,000 from the pockets of L
he consumers. This added to the
