High Compliments For New Haven
 School Music.

Much attention is being given to musical instruction in public schools throughout the country. In this particular branch New Haven is acknowledged to be in the van. The superindendents of music in the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis have examined the work of musical inspection in this city very thoroughly within few days past, and one or both of them have decided to introduce the method in use here in their respective cities. Prof. Congdon, of St. Paul, in re- marks addressed to the High school yestor- day morning, gave preference te New Haven over all other cities in the United States.

cULTIvATING TREES.

Why Woodland Is Essential to . Sue
cessful system of Agriculture.
A German farmer would as soon al
low his cattle to range in his wheat
fields as in his forests. which often
prove the most profitable part of a
European estate. In this country the
wooded part of the farm is not cared
for nor protected in a way to main
tain and increase its value; it is always
used rs pasture, in spite of a we'll
known fact that cattle are fatal to a
forest: the trees are either all cleared
off at once. without reference to their
reproduction or are so carelessly
selected for cutting that the
character and composition Of the
woods are ruined. More care is
taken now than formerly to prevent
and check fires in the woods, but the
damage done to forest property in this
country by FIRE is still an alarming
item in the National waste account
No system of agriculture can be longer
successful and profitable which ignores
the necessity of cultivating trees. and
which does not recognize the fact that
much land in every country can only
be made profitable by means Of trees
The precepts which should often be re-
peated to farmers are not that trees
produce rain or that trees are sacred
objects. which can not be cut without
offense to nature. The lessons they
must learn, if they hope to compete
with the farmers trained under more
enlightened systems of agriculture,
are that sterile, rocky. billy ground
can not long be titled proitably; and
that such land can only be wisely
used to produce trees; that the
pasturage of domestic animals in
woods or on land only suitable for the
growth of trees. is an expensive and
wasteful system. as unsatisfactory fD0m
q pastoral PORT of view as it is fatal
to the forest; that trees are as much
out Of place in the strong level lands
really suitable to permanent tillage as
cattle are out of place in the woods
And they must learn. too. that wood
lands can only be made profitable when
the same care is given to the selection
OF trees with reference to the soil and
climate as Is bestowed upon the selec-
ton Of grain and other CROP. and that
the rules which nature has established
for the perpetuati0n Of forests must Be
studied and obeyed--GGrdes and Fer.
