Plant Trees.
tscientihc News.l

One OF the most important effects OF
wood upon a climate is that they promote
rain. The theory of this process is not
perfectly understood, but the facts them
selves are matters of experience.
The rain instead of falling, as hereto
fore, in moderate showers, now comes in
violent rushes with long periods OF
drought between. As q natural conse-
quence the grasses and other low growing
plants perish, their roots wither away,
and the SOIL no longer held together bv
their tibers, is washed away by the occa-
sionAl violent rains and carried down into
the bed of the rivers. The hillsides and
the higher plains remain as barren wastes
OF sand, gravel and shingle. A similar
process has been going on in Spain, Italy,
Greece, Algeria, Morocco and, in short, all
around the Mediterranean. Countries
which were once the granarics of the
world and which supported a numerous
and thriving population are now little
better than deserts. Nor has this mischief
been confined TO Europe. The vegetable
wealth of South Africa when it first be-
came known to Europeans was remark
able.
The cape was the source of numbers OF
our finest greenhouse plants. But now
vast tracts have been rendered so desolate

After the wheat has been thrashed says
the Philadelphia Record, the straw is
stacked in the barnyard and the stock
turned in to eat portion while trampling
a larger proportion in the mud. The hay
is carefully stored in the barn loft, while
the cornstalks remain in the shocks and
are left in the fields to topple over and be-
come wasted. Every pound of hay saved
is pound gained, and with more care of
the straw and stalk the hay will winter
larger number of cattle. The straw is con-
sidered of but little value, yet the farm can
be impoverished by selling off the straw.
OF inorganic matter LOCO pounds of wheat
contain less than pound OF lime, but lit
tie over two pounds of potash, and not as
much as a pound of phosphoric acid,
though containing largely OF starch and
nitrogen. The straw contains in its COM
position nearly three times as much lime
as the grain, and three times as much
phosphoric acid. These proportions are
seemingly small, but they amount TO
large quantity where hundreds OF tons of
straw is grown. Over fifty pounds OF ash
exist in 200 pounds Of straw, which is
more than double the amount of ash in
grain, and in feeding value the wheat
straw is well worth being cared for, as
four tons OF straw are equal to one ton OF
the best hav

A Variety of Fnrm Tonlo..

Mr. IT. Ross in Farm Journal, states that in
September, 1886, he purchased nineteen ewes
and mated them with a SouthdOwn ram.
They produced twenty-seycn lambs Two of
them died, and he sold the twenty-five remain
ing for Sl.75 each, or q total OF SllS.75 The
average clip OF wool was five pounds, sold at -
cents, making total of 5000 from the flock
for wool. it will be noticed that the flock pro-
duced nearly six times as much in lamb as II
did in wool, and shows that sheep can be made
to pay independently of WOOL as the manure is
not estimated. The total receipts from nine
teen living ewes were $l39.G5.
All green material, no matter how bulky,
will soon decompose If turned under by the
pillow or covered in the manure heap. Hence,
now is the time to turn under all green growth
that may be unserviceable, such as weeds, etc.
If the work be delayed until the frost kills
them they Will dry on the surtace of the ground,
become 'cuTcd" and decompose very slowly.
1t is more valuable 10 the soil TO turn under the
green growth. as il then adds larger proper
ton of fertilizing material TO the soil.
The tomato vine will continue TO bear until
frost. a good vine should have blossoms green
fruit and ripe fruit on il at the same time. Ii
may be trimmed and kept in shape like tree,
and should be supported by stake or hoops.
As the vine produces an abundance of fruit
handful OF fertilizer may DC scattered around il
occasionally, superphosphate being excellent
Weeds and grass should be kept down.
When too much milk is required to make a
pound OF butter the cost is sometimes greater
than the product. IL should not take over twelve
quarts of milk on an average to make one pound
of butter, though the quantity in some daines
will be more or less than twelve quarts The
feed allowed viii largely assist in regulating the
proportion.
The lawn mower will assist in killing weeds
If used frequently. Many weeds die and dis
appear ii not allowed TO 90 to seed, but if seed
be produced the weeds spring uD next season.
BY moving the grass the weeds are also
cut down, and If the work be we'll done tho
weeds viii be replaced by thicker growth of
grass.
Where no stock is kept, and manure must be
made Tor a garden, an excellent mode OF so do
ing is TO begin with pile OF dirt, upon which
all the waste water and refuse should be
thrown, 1t should be covered to prevent injury
by rain. Each family wastes enough every
season to highly manure a garden plot.
The skim milk and whey may not be salable,
but it can be used for producing pork. Pigs
will always pay farms where skim milk is
plentiful. and the cost of the pork will be but
little if other waste material be used in feeding
them. A growing pig will need no grain at al
before cold weather.
The squash bug has been very destructive
this season attacking not only the squash but
the pumpkin and melon. 1t is not an easy
matter to destroy them without injuring the
vines, but busting freely with fine dry lime is
excellent. The best protectors OF the vines are
the toads.

Carn of Strnw.

AS the feeding value of hay depends on
the manner in which it is kept, so does
straw give satisfactory results only in pro-
portion to the care given it and the man
ner in which it is fed to stock. Hay would
quickly become musty and be refused by
stock il exposed to ali kinds of weather,
instead OF being placed under shelter in
the barn. The proper time to stow the
straw is at this season, when it is new and
bright. 1t should be kept bright, and may
be used in connection with hav, so as 10
lessen the quantity of hay required. 1t is
a waste to feed straw alone, as the stock
will refuse it at times, but ii fodder-cutter
be used for cutting it and the cut straw
moistened, with ground grain sprinkled
over ii, the cattle will thrive on it and
highly relish it, as the ground grain bal
ances the rations and renders the whole
more valuable than when the materials
are fed separately.

Reapers aud Tariff.

The Chicago Nelcs declares, upon
authority of those conversant with the
business, that with free raw materials the
cost OF steel reapers and binders could be
reduced from Sl35 and $50 TO So and $40,
and that with a reduction OF 80 per cent.
in the duty, the cost of first-class ma
chine need not be over 500. Last year.

advantage in the race, so that it ought TO
manufacture machinery for the whole
world-actually exported it TO the amount
OF q beggarly S3,257,l7l. Two-thirds of
this consisted OF sewing machines.

Cornstnlks. Etc.

Cornstalks. oat straw, pea and bean
straw, and even the tops OF the root crops,
can be made seryiceable if saved at the
right time, and little preparation given
them before feeding them to the stock.
Nothing that can be turned into a valua-
BILE commodity should be sold. Straw and
other bulky material may be changed,
through the agency of stock, into beef and
mutton, when it Will then bring higher
price, and leave the manure behind to
enrich the farm. Millions of dollars are
lost by improper storage OF straw and fod-
der, and a greater loss occurs by not prop
erly preparing it for feeding to stock.

increase of population came the
demand for preachers; those who felt
themselves called upon to preach took
to the ministry without ednca tional

they said, to put words into their

there were many uneducated preachers

vices were worthy of all commendation.
The young preacher being put to his

There are three errors floating round
that hinder the good work. For fifty
years | have heard men say, in regard
TO drunkards, that they can stop drink
Ting if they choose to do so. This is
not true with several classes of per-
Esons, Tut the reason is alike in all.
There are children trained up to drink,
though it is not so common as it was
twenty-five years ago, but exists still.
Many OF these children grow up with
out any power to resist the thirst for
stimulants. Another class grow up in
respectable families and may never
have tasted them. They leave home.
60 into company, and are persuaded to
taste wine or brandy. The first taste
seals their doom. The desire for stim-
ulants is overpoWering. A Catholic
priest, a few months ago, published
letter, telling his experiences on this
subject, and affirming that many
drunkards were made by the prescrip-
ton of intoxicating drink by doctors.
