J. III. Stevens: The seeds of ash
trees should be soaked for three OF
four days before being planted. It is
difficult for hard wood trees to thrive
on dry, light, prairie SOIL for it is not
their nature to root either deeply or
rapidly. Heavy and continued
mulching is necessary to success and
with it success is almost certain.
WalnutS hutternut and hard maple
grown from Minnesota seed are hardy
here; but seed from east or south of
this will not stand this climate. If
trees are muiched sufficiently to keep
down the weeds they need no other
cultivation.
Another very important factor in
the successful growth of forest trees
in the Northwest is close planting.
Probably not one-tenth of the groves
planted are right in this respect. If
the trees are planted in rows four feet
apart and one foot apart in the row,
they will grow up as trees instead of
shrubs, are a mutual protection to
each other, and will not require thin
ming out until the trees are twenty
five feet high, when the surplus trees
can be used for fuel.

American Agriculturist: Among
the spring styles annually becoming
more prevalent in many sections of
the country, is the sticking up' of
farmers door-yards, gardens, etc.
the improvement and adornment of
rural homes by making of better
fences, arbors, ETC., and the planting
of trees, shrubs, and flowers, as well
as the repairing and painting of the
buildings and the like. This is a very
laudable fashion, for it not only beau
titles home rendering its inmates
more contented and happy, but adds
to it's pecuniary value, an item that
would tell favorably should sale of
the premises BECOME desirable or nee
essary. The fashion of thus fixing up
about the house usually extends over
the farm, so that the whole premises
exhibit an improved appearance.
There are better fences and outbuild-
ings, finer orchards, more gates and
fewer aggravatlng bars, and other
permanent improvements which tend
to render the farmstead more attract
i've and valuable. Let this fashion
prevail widely, and both the people
and the country will be greatly bene-
fitted.
Several other farm fashions worthy
of imitation prevail among good hus-
sbandmen. Among them may be
briefly mentioned the care of domes-
tic animals, thorough and timely Gull
ture, promptness in planting and har-
vesting crops, the judicious market
ing of farm products, the avoidance
of trading with strange peddlers or
travelling agents especially those
wanting autographs), and the wise
style of purchasing only from persons
you know, or such parties as are in
dorsed by trustworthy authorities.

The Horseshoer: Horses can be
easily damaged or ruined by bad man.
agement. We believe that the differ
ence found in horses as to vicious hab-
its and reliability, comes more from
the different management Of men,
than from variance of natural DISPOSE
tim in animals. Horses with high
mettle are more easily educated than
those of less or dull spirits, and are
more susceptible to ill-training, and
consequently may be made good or
bad, according to the education they
receive.

fact: A grade bull may be as beauti-

this reason only use, if possible, q

TT C|ERTAINLY OUGHT.
The Height OF Great Men.

A correspondent inquiries Of US il there
is any truth in the general belief that the
leaders Of any particular age are large
men, "or is il merely superstition'"
There is a modicum Of truth in IT.
While there are numerous exceptions, II
seems TO be a fact that great pets, essay
lists, scholars and philosophical thinkers
are, as a rule, small; while great gen
erals, orators and pOliticiars-those who
are engrossed in doing rather than think
ing-are, As q rule above the average size
of man. There Is a reason for it; those
who possess the most vitality are apt to
make the biggest noise In the world.
Washington was a large man; so were
Cortez, Charlemagne and Wellington; Sc
were Webster, Clay, Tom COrwin, Tom
Marshall, Lincoln, Chase, Sumner; SO
are Gladstone, Bismarck, Ferry, Cleve'
land, James G.. Blaine and Gen. Sher'
man. When men who have won distinc'
ton are not tall, they generally make II
up in breadth, like Bonaparte, Stephen
A. Douglas and Sheridan.
The thinkers of the world have gen
orally been small; as Cicero, Aristotle,
Bacon, Alexander Pope, Alexander
Hamilton and Oliver Wendell Holmes
The members of the senate, ever since
that body was established, have been, il
is alleged, about an inch taller than thu
average height of American men. Sue
cessful American editors have general!
been tall men, averaging six feet higf
and over 200 pounds, as the elder Ben
nett, Thurlow Weed James Watson

What Western Women Read.

Women are becoming greater readers, If
! may judge by the eagerness with which
they call for the latest books. But they
crave novels, and the cheap novels, too.
These libraries" in paper covers are pref
cradle to the ordinary woman reader for
a very simple reason-they can bend the
backs, roll them up so as to carry them
conveniently in their hand satchels and
throw them away when finished. I dare
say the house of nearly every woman in
good circumstances in the city has more
or less of this paper cover literature in it,
thrown aside like the daily papers after
it has been read. l once made an ex-
pertinent with these books. l bought two
sets, one in paper covers, the other in
