Removing Forest Trees.

The following method Of remoT-
ing forest trees is recommended in a
Florida paper. II is novel and probx-
hly better adapted to the South thsn
the North. There are few trees
more ornamental than some of those
from our forests, when planted in
open ground and properly cared for
and pruued. There is always mor
or less loss connected with trans
planting these trees, which has kept
many from putting them out, but
Hon. Mr.. Bielby has adopted a
method OF moving trees that does
away with a good deal of risk and
loss. On his place, two miles north
of De Lond, he has planted a row OF
magnolias, holly, oak end other
trees which are doing we'll and
certainly recommend his plan. In
the case of holly and magnolia he
dug up trees that we're from four
to six inches in diameter, and sawed
them of at the crown. BY doing
this a great many more can be
carried at one time and much more
easily handled. The stamps are
planted in the usual way, and a!stake
put up to mark the place. In a
short time several shoots appear
and these are allowed to grow for
a while and then all but the most
shape|y and thrifty r cut off. MIR.
Bielby claims that the tree thus
planted makes a much more thrifty
growth, and places its shape undc,
control and is much more satisfac
tory every way. Try it."-suga'

NIanufactOrieS at Heme.

There is no reason why the South
and West, by means of diversified
tindustries, should not become far
weather. than the East. Superior
TO it in fertility of soil, in the rich.
ness Of its mines, and with a home
market for millions of manufactured
goods, all that appears necessary
to transform our present impover.
ished condition into one of abundant
wealth, is the faithful exercise Of o
moderate amount Of business judg.
ment. The manufactures of the East
enrich their owners while the opera
tives share in that prosperity only
60 far as the law of supply and
demand Of labor enables them to
dictate terms. With the poorly paid
operatives Of Germany to draw from
the employer must eve hold the
ad 7antage, and, as q result, men are
compelled to take their wives from
their household duties and children
from their school to assist in the
task OF bread getting. 1t evidently
follows that the South needs man.
ufactories to retain here wealth at
home, and that it is essential that
they should be conducted on the co.
operative plan in order that there
may be an equitable distribution OF
that wealth.-Texas Farmer.
