TAKE CARE OF THE FORESTS

The great suddenness of atmos-
pheric changes, the frequency and
terrific force Of tornadoes, cyclones,
&c, and the increasing severity of
our Winters are attributed to the
rapid destruction of our forests.
Thus while the woodlands axe has
done much good in carrying civil
zation to the borders, in its thought
less, indiscriminate welding it has
also done much harm. In many
Of the Northern and Western States
thoughtful men are trying to repair
some Of the mischief done by en-
couraging the planting of trees,
while some States offer bounties to
those planting a given number Of
trees each year. There is a day
called "Arbor Day" observed in
several States, on which great num-
bers of people turn out and plant
trees either on their own property
or on the highways, and in the cit
les on the public grounds, parks,
&C., and thus within the past few

YOUNG MAN IA WORD WITH
Y YOU.

Young man, remember that the
road to responsibility, to success
and to usefulness does not lead out
from the back door of a grog-shop.
The country is suffering from the
want of moral manhood in high
places. The young man who seeks
popularity at the cost of honestly
entertained convictions, will surely
drink deeply Of the dregs of disap-
pointment. Let your opinions and
principles be we'll grounded and
have the manliness and courage to
stand by them.
Youngman,do not buy a thing simp-
ly because it is cheap. Anything is
dear at any price if you do not
need it.
Young man, hold up your head.
Aim high. Resolve to be a
Shun bad associates. Seek the So
ciety of pure and noble women.
You are safe with them. Never be
ashamed of honorable labor. A lazy,
indolent, "stuck up" is a fraud and
a disgrace to true manhood. Pay
your way as you go, or do not go.

SINGULAR FACTS.

1t is frequently the man who
never pays any tax that makes the
loudest noise about "ruinous tax
alton" The LATEST negro is apt to
be the one who complains most
that he can't get a job. The most
bitter and boistefpus among labor
strikers" and who CRY for bread
or Blood" r thosE who never did
an honest days work in their lives:
The man who Was the "cross-road
bully" at home, was generally the
first to showthe white feather" in
battle. The soldier who was loudest
in his complaint at the scanty
ration of "beef and bareback"
was the man who had lived the
hardest at home. The ranting ex-
tremist, or bitterest partisan, is the
one who is almost sure to change to
the other side.

than the\fact that they have per-
mitted, and without protest, the
University ITO use their fund for SO
many years.\ They appreciated the
terrible ordeal through which that
Institution Was forced to pass, and
as true North Carolinians, they SYM
pathized with it. Now, however,
they feel that the time has arrived
when the fund which was given for
the education of their boys, should be
applied, AT the law directs. 1t be-
longs to Them. 1t belongs to none
others. They feel that appropria-
tions f9f the support of the Univer-
sity, should be made as other appro-
~priatfons. That they should come
from the common fund, made up by
taxation. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
will go as far as any one in giving
to the University all needful aid and
support to make it the pride
Of every patriotic citizen, but as
the mouth-piece and representa-
tive Of the farmers of the State, it
sincerely hopes to see the Univer-
sity authorities yield gracefully to
the just and reasonable demands Of
the people:-to give back the money
which belongs only to them, and
thus retain It's hold upon their re-
spect and confidence, and avoid a
contest which will inevitably follow
a refusal.

The PRoeREssvE FARMER, APRIL 1886

years millions of trees have been
planted. In some Of these StataS
the day is observed as a holiday and
even the school children take an in
terest in the good work.
The South has not yet been strin-
ped of her forests, which are her
glory, but she must watch them and
guard them well. The magnifcenca
of her timber has drawn the atten.
ton of timber seekers this wav
and when they can they are buying
immense tracts at very small prices
the object being to cut down, saw
up and ship the lumber North, to
supply the demand there. Thus in
time if heed be not taken the axe
and saw mill may prove a curse to
us az they have to other sections.
where in the struggle for dollars
and cents more important consider
ations we're lost sight of. For the
gain of a few dollars now we should
not be willing to do incalculable
damage to the next generation, and
where timber is cut down or dL.
posed of to be cut down discriminate
inv Judgment should be used. Aside
from the value of the forest as Il
protection against the sweeping
North winds, as distributing agel,
cies of rain, and necessary moisture,
there are certain kinds Of timbers
which are growing annually more
valuable on account OF the lncreaS-
ing demand and the increasing
scarcity. 1t is these timbers espe-
cially that Northern purchasers a:e
hunting up and securing possession
of at what doubtless seems a big
price to the seller but which is "a
merely nominal price compared with
the marketable value of the timber.
Walnut, maple, hickory, white oak.
and several other varieties used in
the manufacture of furniture, wag-
ons, carriages, &c, are in demand,
a nj the demand as we'll as the price
will increase with each coming year,
SO that, aside from other considera-
tons, it is not good policy, even from
a dollar and cent standpoint, to sell
much of this timber now when it
may be turned to much greater
profit by holding on to it for a few
years. When people sell they should
also plant 50 that the trees that are
felled may be followed by others,
and thus prevent the supply from
becoming exhausted. The Southern
farmer who would make an invest
ment for his boy that would make
that boy Independent when reach
ing manhood could lot do a surer
thing than lay off a reasonable por-
ton of his estate and plant it in wal
nut trees. 1t would not take a large
grove of such trees to make a sure
fortune for any young man Instead
Of foolishly cutting down and des-
troying our trees, or selling them
for a little money, we should study
not only how to preserve but how to
propagate and care for them.
When the song writer sang
"Woodman, spare that tree he
was indulging in sentimentalism in
spired by tender "reminiscences of
boyhood, but when the appeal is
made to "spare the tree" now it is
no inspiration of sentiment but Of
self protection and of common sense
which protest against the wantOn
destruction of our best friend and
greatest treasure.

DEATH OF MRS MARY BAYARD
CLARKE.

This lady, relict of the late Judge w.
j. Clarke, died at her home in New
Berne on the 3lst ult., in the 5Sth year
of her age. Thus the most gifted, per
haps, of North Carolina ONE has
passed away. Possessed Of a versatile,
vigorous mind that received the polish
of a fine education, she was justly re-
garded in literary circles as belonging to
the very first rank of North Carolina
writer's. The people of the whole State
have lost a friend.

Serious trouble occurred Saturday
between the railroad strikers at Fort
Worth, Texas, in which seven men were
killed and a number wounded. 1t was
in a collision between thestrikers and the
sheriff with a posse of citizens summoned
to prevent the strikers from taking pos
session of a train starting out from the
freight yards. The situation is assuming
a serious aspect.
The city of Charlotte is taking a
lively interest in the proposed Roanoke

in the Chamber of Commerce Saturday
night a resolution was passed pledging
the county of M~ecklenburg and city of

ther road, and a committee of ten gentle
men, with two representatives of the
Chamber OF Commerce, was appointed
to attend the meeting at Roanoke on the
10th inst, to urge the inducements and
advantages offered to bring the road by
way of Charlotte.
The most interesting event in the
U. 5. Senate the past week was Sena.
tor Vance's speech in favor of repeating
the civil service law. In the House the
silver bill was discussed. A bill was
passed Saturday by a vote of 1875 to 20
providing for boards of arbitration, the
object of which is to adjust troubles be-
tween strikers and railroad corporations,
&C., employing large bodies of men, and
thus prevent as far as possible great
strikes taking place. There was eonsid-
cradle skirmishing in the House over the
Blair educational bill, and the effort was
finally successful to have it referred to
the committee on labor for report.
