The Value of Trees to Agriculture.

An eminent English authority writes
as follows as to the value of trees in pro-
tecting land and stock: When planta-
tons and strips of woods Of consider
able extent are so arranged as to OBJ
struct the wind in it's course, shelter is
afforded both to cultivate and pasture
land, and in appearance as we'll as pro-
ductiveness the character OF the estate
undergoes a thorough change. It can
not be doubted by any one acquainted
with the losses which are frequently
sustained on high-lying farms from nip
ping frosts and whitening winds, that in
cold, late districts shelter is of the
greatest value to the farmer. Various
kinds Of crops are liable at the time OF
Towering to be seriously injured, if ex-
posed to strong winds, and frequently
cereal crops, which are just beginning
to ripen, suddenly assume premature
whiteness after being loosened about
the roots by severe wind-storms; the
crop is inperfectly developed, and the
farmer is the loser. Shelter will to
very large extent prevent this evil.
Then at harvest it has been found that
a line OF plan tations, running transverse
to the wind, though at q distance of
half a mile, has materially diminished
the loss from shedding. Along the
eastern coast of Great Britain proper
increase Of shelter would not fail to add
several bushels Of grain to the yield per
acre.
The value of shelter for pasture stock
is no less deserving Of careful consider
alton 1t is we'll known to veterinary
practitioners that cattle grazing in high
and exposed situations are generally
more disposed to cons'1mptive and cut
aneous diseases than animals pastured
on low and sheltered farms. The past
urage, even when Sheltered i'll very par
tial Manner, is both earlier and more
nutritive than if exposed to the full eff
fects OF unchecked winds, and in their
haunts iioclss rarely fail to indicate the
situations which are really benefited by
plantations, either near at hand or at u
considerable distance. It appears,
therefore, conclusive that the relation
that exists between forestry and agri-
culture is q very intimate one.

us that the spring campaign was
about to open.
Everything was hustle, and in ten
minutes the regiment was formed
and on the march in the dark-where,
we knew not. We seemed to march
about twenty miles, but upon halting
we were only about four miles from
where we started. The orders had
been misunderstood, and instead Of
going toward Charlottesville, as the
officers had expected, we were marched
back to the Widow Gray farm, about
two miles below Fredericksburg, and
although angry, tired, and hungry,
we were Immediately placed on picket
near the river, ordered to dig bitches
to protect ourselves, and under no
circumstances to allow any boats to
go down stream.
was in ditch with Corporal
Deming and a comrade named Rinier.
We passed the day firing at the
sharpshooters ON the other side Of the
river, and elevating our caps on our
ramrods as targets for the rebs. No
sooner would a cap be raised than a
rebel ball would pierce it through.
Our quarters were somewhat
cramped, but we had the advantage
of the rebs in that back of us was a
ravine covered with scrub trees, while
they had nothing but open ground;
and once when one poor fellow had
crept down to the river to get water,
Deming saw him and shot him
through.
During the night we were ordered
to keep perfectly quiet and watchful,
but the spirit of deviltry seemed to
be upon some of us, for we went into
the Widow Gray's barn and carriage;
shed, got an old cart, filled it with
harrows and plows, got large roller
a family carriage and a wagon, and
balanced them on the edge Of
the steep bank of the river, and
when all was ready let go. Such
a racket! The rebs on the other
side of the river commenced shooting!
and the whole line above and below
Fredericksburg was in an uproar. OF
course, when the officers came to in
vestigate we knew nothing as to the
cause of the disturbance, and the
whole circus was charged to the rebs
making a movement to surprise our
pickets.
The-next day was lively one. We
were ordered to support the First New
York Independent Artillery, and it
was glorious to see the work done by
that battery. We were in the bitches
on the river bank, directly in front Of
the battery, and were doing good ex-
ecution in picking off the rebel gum
ners. They got our range, however,
and when shell struck the earth in
front of our pit young Renter became
SO frightened that he dashed out Of
, the pit and down the ravine. The
next day we started for Chancellors-
Vile, and were rushed to the front
just as the Eleventh Corps was break
ing. E. 3. GILBERT.

The present population of the State

900, and is rapidly increasing. 1t had
only Is, 0OOin 1880, and at the time Of
the enumeration for the census of 1890
it had $40, 800. The growth Of such
cities as Seattle from $500 in 1880 to
$4,000 to-day, and Tacoma from 1000
in 1880 to 10000 to-day, and Spokane
Falls from $50 persons in 1880 to U.s.
900 to-day, are among the marvels Of
city building even in this age: Of
cities. Washington has 45,000,0 900
acres of land, nearly one and a half
times as large as Illinois, and if as
densely peopled as Belgium it would
have population of $4,000, 1000. Few
adequately realize what an empire is
growing up in the Northwest west Of
the Rocky Mountains.

THE suEFRAGE PLANK sATlsFACTORY.


The RomGn's Tribune is.prObably the
leading American journal devoted spe-
cially to to the interests OF universal suf-
frage, and here Is what 1t has to say re-
specting the action of the Cincinnati
convention:
With regard to the action Of the CinCin-
natl convention upon woman suffrage, it is
all that could be expected from party not
organized with that as It's main object, for
it throws the burden of obligation upon the
party in it's state organizations where, If
the women do their duty and elect the
proper representatives to the conventions,
the question will be worked out. In q
party that allows women delegates, elects
women officers, and, in fact, gives them
equal rights and opportunities from the
first rural meeting to the great national
convention, the opportunity is before
women to use the party and bind it to
their interests. The women of this Peoples
party are very largely women who have OBJ
tanned their political education in the AlG-
ance and in the Grange. They have united
with fathers, brothers and husbands to So
cure better industrial conditions, and haV-
ing felt in their everyday life the pressure
of an unjust economic system, it is folly to
expect them to forsake the standard of the
men of their families because it does not
stand first and foremost for woman suf-
frage, however much they may desire it.
But they can mould their party and will do
it as fast as they are themselves educated to
see that until the foundations Of party are
laid in justice, liberty and equality, it can
not be wholly right in any particular.
The resolutions adopted by the party en-
dorsed the demands of the platform as
adopted at st. Louis in 1889, Ocala in 1890,
and Omaha in 1891, and it will be remem-
bered that the first and last unequivocally
endorsed the ballot for women.

A TRUE ALLIANCE MAN WRITES FROM
THE G0IITH

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
Being an humble farmer, one who
knows what a days work is from expert
ence, and having occupied an humble
position In the ranks Of the great move
ment now on foot to revolutionize and
Americanize American citizens, I beg
leave to say through the columns of your
valuable paper, that my heart swells
with emotions Of gratitude for which
language fails me to express my thanks
to God for having given to the world
such men and patriots as Polk, Macune,
Clover, Powderly and host of other
liberty-loVing lights. And while the
partizan press may endeavor to ma
lign and slander them, may they as our
leaders ever keep their eyes fixed upon
the motto, "Equal rights to all, special
privileges to none" And may the rank
and file of the Alliance men and the great
industrial classes keep the line dressed"
from ocean to ocean and from the great
lakes to the gulf Of Mexico; aye, may we
have union indeed, union with no
north, no south, no east, no west, but
that accursed Mason and Dixon's line
entirely s0iped out. And may the aim Of
all good men be to promote peace and
perpetuate the liberty of this people. II
we fail to do our duty in this great fight
we certainly have degenerated from the
men of T6. 1t Is plain to men Of all par
ties that our demands and grievances are
unheeded by both the Democratic and
Republican parties-both are opposed to
us-hence we say 1t is the duty Of the
south and west to unite In saving the
home Of Washington. believe the
northwest Is ready for the union. Unit
ed the south and west are invincible.
