IN EAST india Joke.

1t is generally known that the down
fall of Dhuleep Singh, in asocial sense,
was due to monstrous trick he play
ed some fourteen years ago. 1t was in
a country house where the prince and
princess of Wales were staying, and a
certain noble lord was in the act Of Of
fering a candlestick to the princess as
she was retiring up the stairs. The
maharajah, at this moment stuck his
foot in the way of the noble lord, trip
ped him up, and sent him and the can
die flying. Such gross piece of mis-
behavior was probably never before
known, and the justly incensed noble
man went for" Dhuleep Singh like a
bulldog as soon as he got him into the
billiard-room. 1t was with difficulty
that Dhuleep Singh was rescued from
his assailant.-S. Stephens Reric1v.

THE FORESTER.
;J'h0f y. Ei,,.nstr,,o

What is forestry? It is the same thing
as agriculture-a business. The difference
is only in the kind of crop and in the
manner of treating the crop. It is the
production of a wood crop we are after.
This is the crop which grows, or can be
made to grow, on those parts of the farm
which are useless for all other crops. It
is ow-growing crop, to be sure, but it
grows while you are asleep, and you need
put it into the ground but once, where it
will thrive without further care for many
years; and, if properly started, it needs no
hoeing, no cultiyating, no worrying about
the weather. And when you come to reap
it it will prove to yield profit from ground
that would otherwise have been left not
only unproductive, but unsightly in addi-
ton.
Ii only for the looks of it, piece of
young timber thriftily growing enhances
the value of the farm. Therefore, plant
the unSightly waste places in trees, re-
move those ugly spots from your farm
which spoil its good looks. 1t costs but
little more than an occasional day of en-
joyable work.
Don't figure on the profit of the sticks
that you are going to cut; there is profit
indirectly on your surroundings accruing
from such planting, which deties all strict
financial calculation, besides your own
satisfaction, which will surely reflect from
such work beyond any direct money gain,
though this will not be lacking either, in
proper time. 1t has been proved over and
over again that a good wood-lot will sell
the farm-if sold it must beat q better
price than it would have brought with
out it.
And you who are the happy owner of
wood-lot, treat it as the goose that lays the
golden eggs; the eggs will soon be high in
price, the goose is worth caring for! If
you cut, don't cut the good trees only, and
leave the bad ones to spoil the looks OF the
lot and to injure the young growth that
would be better Off if the gnarly old fellow
overhead did not stand in its way with
shade and drip. Always give some light
and room to the young folks!
Forestry means more than tree planting;
it is the art of managing wood crop so
that it will reproduce itself spontaneously
by the seed from the old trees, and after
ward helping the young growth to make ;
the best timber in the shortest time.
Nature will reproduce the forest aud grow
timber without care if allowed by man,
but she takes time, and time is money-at
least to a careful man and manager.
Then use your odd moments III improv-
ing your crop; the axe, too, is cultivator
IN judicious hands.-B. q. Fernou,
Chief of Forestry Diuision, United States :
Dcpartmeut of Agriculture.

Fine sand for Be,,aing .l,,tn,a.s.

Many an intelligent tiller of the soil has
laughed at me, heartily, when suggested
that line sand was excellent bedding for
domestic animals; and many of your read
ers may indulge in shaking ha! ha!
ha! and suggest that I am fairly in nv
dotage, for thinking that sand may be en-
ployed for bedding! "Why, who ever head
of such ultraism?" said one farmer. IL
would rs soon bed with mud" "Well, let
US reason together" Many years ago,
When had easy access to clean sand,
used it for bedding the COWS and horses, in
preference to straw, sawdust, dry tan bark,
or any other material, for the reason that a
bed of fine sand would absorb the liquids of
the stalls sooner and keep the animals
cleaner than other bedding. There was the
fact in the case. That is all there is about
it. A few days since I was at the stable of
farmer who works a large farm, and keeps
several teams and large herd of neat cat
tie. who told me that he prefers fine sand
for bedding to any other material. He
had more than 1000 bushels II judged) of
dry, fine sand, stored for bedding in the
winter. No other bedding will prevent the
manurial accumulations from adherin to
the hair of domestic animals so etfectually
as clean sand. In many localities one can
not obtain sand, except at m exorbitant
price per wagon load, while in some sec
tions Of the country fine and clean sand
will cost nothing besides the expense Incl
dent to hauling it. In many places one
can collect several wagon loads in the pub
lie streets, which has been carried down to
the foot of q hill during a shower of rain.
A peck of fine sand will readily absorb and
retain half peck of liquid manure. Then,
here is another important consideration
greatly in favor Of sand, namely. the ia
cility with which the manurial accumula-
tons of any stable may be handled and
stored without loss from heating and Sire
fanging," as stable manure will do, when
the bedding consists OF straw or haulm Of
any sort. Doubling and incredulous per-
sons can satisfy themselves by an mex
pensive trial Of sand for bedding. In case
sand is coarse and full of gravel, it should
be screened, as gravel stones would render
the bed of a heavy animal somewhat un-
comfortable. Cor. Country Gentleman.
