form of which they seem to be so much in
need, and they are going to still continue
to dig to learn where the wrong Is.
The Rev. DR.. Lyman told great truth
and one, too, that will bear examination
when he said: sCrime and intempelance
are greatly dependent on poverty, and
temperance reformers to be consistent,
should exert themselves in aiding the re-

Poverty, drunkenness and crime are o.

caused by the expressions of the strong,

DEClDUOUS TREES.
Directions for Growing Trees from Seed,
with Suggestions About Transplanting.

Directions for Growing Trees from Seed,
with Suggestions About Transplanting.
A correspondent writing from Wiscon-
sin, in American Agriculturist, claims
that declduous trees may be grown from
seed almost as easily as so much corn in
the drill In fact the operations of this
correspondent, who has grown many
thousands of trees from seed. are almost
the same as in growing corn: this is. of
course, where the seedlings are thickly
raised in the nursery row, and are to be
removed after the first seasons growth
He marks the land one way. two and {.
half feet apart, just as one would for
drilled corn. The ground should be so
mellow that the marker will be set dowr
in SO as to make drill three or four
inches deep
The drill furrow for such large seeds as
the walnut, butternut and hickory ought
to be four or five inches deep. while for
the smaller seeds, as the maple, elm ash
box elder and catal pa, it need not be over
three or four inches deep. 1t is impera-
tive that the nuts be frozen over winter
in moist condition. Spread them out
on the ground for this purpose, and cover
them with straw or hay and enough earth
over this to hold the whole in place.
They will then sprout with the first
warm weather of spring.
Sugar maple. box elder, and ash seed
should be treated in the same way,
though quite a portion Of them will
grow when kept dry over winter. Some
plant in autumn as soon as the seeds are
ripe. and thus secure the conditions above
named without any further care. The
correspondent quoted always spreads the
seeds on the ground during the winter
and sows in the spring. with invariable
good success. Catalpa seed terminates
readily and should be kept in dry con-
dition through the winter.
Sow the seeds thickly in the drill as
>ou would peas or other similar crops
Drop the nuts along SO that they will al
most touch in the drill. Cover such large
seeds about as deeply as you would po-
tatoes and the smaller seeds about as you
would corn, packing the earth down
over the seeds after covering. AS rule
they come up quickly and grow rapidly.
Some of them will fairly outstrip the
weeds Give clean cultivation all
through the growing season. Trans
plant the next spring to where they are
wanted.
While most deciduous tree seeds ripen
in autumn, there are few kinds that
ripen in late spring or early summer.
Among these are the soft maple and the
elms. These ripen about June 1, and
should be sown as soon as they fall from
the trees, as they will not keep over A
large number of these seedlings can he
grown on small piece of ground A
piece of well worked soil a few rods
square will furnish enough for tree
claim OF other large planting.
