THE FORESTER.
Timber Culture.


At the late Michigan Forestry Conven-
ton at Grand Rapids the Hon. n A.
Beecher said: "The annual waste or con-
sumption of forest timber in one year in
the United States is, according to the last
census, estimated at 800, 900, 000-more
than double the amount of the National
Bank currency. There are 200 mills en-
gagged in manufacturing lumber and shin
giles in Michigan, with an invested capital
of S4S, 000,0 00, and the value of the annual
product approximates $50, 900, 900. The
owners of these mills employ $4,000 per-
sons who receive annually an aggregate of
over S7,000,O00. The total product of
Michigan for 1886 is almost 5000, 600, 600
feet shingles, 2S3, S3S, 900. Senator Pal
mer recently estimated this product for
Michigan at 5000, 000,0 900 feet in one wear,
enough he says, "te girdle the earth with
fifteen board fences each five boards high
at the equator"
George S. Frost said: at needs no
argument to prove the commercial value of
pine and hard woods, but the cheaper
woods-those that have been considered
nearly worthless-are becoming valuable.
Extensive pulp factories are springing up
in different parts of the State and utilizing
the cheaper woods, such as spruce, balsam,
small Norway, jack pine, and poplar.
The demand for these species is increasing
rapidly"
An acre of timber artificially grown is
worth five times as much as an acre of
natural timber, Mr.. Conrad deduces the
following conclusions after years of mature
elaboration. One tree would grow to the
rod or 100 to the acre-say 10 after eighty
years. After eighty years each tree would
make 500 feet, or $4,000 feet to the acre,
which would in Chicago be worth now
Sl4.50 FER thousand. Prof. j. Satterlee,
of Lansing, advised the growing of bitter
nut for tie poles market, stating that the
bitternut reaches growth of six feet in
year and eight feet in two years. A growth
of six feet in 2 single year was common,
while no other hard wood had reached a
growth of over four feet. Beal would
recommend the growing of the hardy ca
tawba and the common locust.
The Hon. Arthur Hill, OF Saginaw, dis
cussing the prevention of forest fires, said
there is a need for immediate and ample
legislation which will put stop to the
criminal wantonness of persons whose
carelessness may result in the loss of thou
sands of dollars. A few suggestions were
presented upon the forming of State
forestry law. The speakers idea was that
the supervisors of the townships should be
made to act as fire wardens and should
issue permits to burn brush and make
other necessary fires in the woods which
might be menacing. Severe penalties
should be attached and malicious offenders
dealt with as felons.

Horticulture reported receiving and test

other portions of that tree, and testified
that both kinds of fruit were well devel-

successfully grated upon ounces, haw-
thorn, and shadbush, and advantages are
claimed for each; but of many trials to
graft pear on apple the above seems to be
the only case of perm anent success. The

a singular instance of Bartlett pear bud
being set by a Cincinnatian on seeding
pear stock. The pear grew vigorously but
the Bartlett had remained dormant, never
producing leaf. yet lived on for years;
and finally the single bud blossomed out
and ripened a genuine Bartlett pear, with
out single Bartlett leaf ever having ex-

IiIlsIe NTkItnY.

The orchardists of Western New York
are turning their facilities to account by
apple drying and fruit evaporating. Even
the late season, which has been marked by
drouth nearly everywhere in this country,
the business has developed with astonish-
ing rapidity. Over a dozen new and large
eyaporators were erected in the county, of
which Lockport is the county site, namely
Niagara. These are now running night and
day. 1t is said the market for this kind of
fruit is found in Europe, where dried
apples are in great measure supplanting
green fruit. Representatives OF English
firms are there on the ground purchasing
The popularity of the dried fruit over the
green fruit is in consequence of the alleged
increasing tendency of the latter to rot
Over 500, have been expended in
Niagara County alone, evaporating and can
ming apples this year, and all the western
and southern counties of New York are
more or less engaged in it.

A long chapter would be required to de-
scribe all the new varieties of pears, and
tell all that is claimed for them. Want of
space forbids more than n brief mention
of what are apparently the leading ones.
Growers who have little room and time

to test some of them. OF the new Rus

THE FARM.
Fences and Sao,cdriJ1s.

Fences are downright nuisances in winter.
and in our northern climate there Is SO
much winter every year that the average
farmer is the more inclined to dispense
with them at all times. Their worst otfense
is along roadsides in causing snowdritts.
A drift may do a good deal of damage IN
smothering winter grain. 1t is always the
best growth that suffers worst, and the loss
is therefore all the greater. Fences along
roadsides should certainly be OF kind
that can be taken down every fall and put
up again in the spring, or If intended only
10 keep road animals from entering fields,
the fence is better made with barbed wire
than ANYTHING else This will not cause
snowdrifts and for this season is less OBJ
iectionable for roadside fence than any
other kind.

Out of the sorrowful pleading
Into the comfort OF rest;
Out of the shame of refusal
Into g quiet SO blest

Here in my sweet repose,
Why should we care for the briars
More than the scent of the rose?
