THE FARMING WORLD.
THE TREES WE PLANT.
0rander Monuments Than Those Carved
from Dead Granite.

Grander Monuments Than Those Carved
from Dead Granite.
II he he "bcnefactor of his race who
causes two BLADES OF grass to grow
where only one blade grew before" how
much more must he benefit the world
who plants that which shall continue
TO grow in beauty and in strength, and
become of still greater benefit to the
world as the years so on! There is
something grand, and something sad,
in the planting Of tree. 1t is grand
because it is a benefit bestowed upon,
and a labor performed for, those who
shall come after us; it is sad because
our own eyes shall not see the results
of the work we do.
And who may know the unmeasured
good the planting of single tree may
do? AS time goes on, and the sun
smiles upon it, and the clouds weep
over it, and gentle winds caress it, 1T
shall spread out its leafy hands to-
ward heaven as in prayer, and be to
every heart "a thing of beauty and JOY
forever" The birds shall build their
nests among it's branches, and fill the
palpitating air with melody; beneath
its cooling shade, when summer suns
shine warm, the laugh of children shall
rcsound; the sturdy tread of manhood
shall be heard and the lettering steps
of the aged shall loiter there. Per-
haps, upon the soft, green carpet be7
meath its shade fond lovers shall plight
their troth; the happy birds shall

in very joy to be alive, and love. Per-
haps, too, beneath its shade, grown
wide and deep, there may be dug, some
day, d grave, in which shall lie, in dream
less sleep, the beautiful and good. Then
shall the tree ward winters storms and
summers heat from OFF that grave, and
bend as i'll perpetual benediction,
above the silent dead" And so,
through the chills of many winters and
the heats of many summers, the tree
we plant to-day shall trcmble in the
wind and glistcn in the sun; while
generations come and pass on to return
no more, it shall year by year renew its
vigor, and live on.
Grander than any dead granite is the
more lasting monument of living
tree: swecter than any chiseled words
is the rustling of its leaves; better than
the lifeless formula: Here lies the
body" is the fact that somewhere there
lives a tree that some hand. now per-
haps, alas for it! only dust, planted

What He Does for the Farm and the
Farmers Crops.
If farmers would make study of
natural history and it's bearings on
their property-the relation of hawks
to their hen coops, for instance-there
would be better paying crops.
The "Year Book" of the department
of agriculture tells about cow black
birds and what they eat. About $500
of their stomachs have been examined,
and of these 2,25S contained food. The
birds were killed in 26 states. Forty
eight per cent. of the food was animal,
As per cent. vegetable, and four per
cent. was mineral. The blackbird has
a variety of things 1t eats.
= "The animal food" says the report,
consisted of insects, spiders, myria-
pods Thousand legs), crawtish, earth
worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails,
fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts).
lizards. snakes, birds eggs, and mice"
To these might have been added young
birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows
caught while swimming in shallow wa
ter, and probably meat and carrion OF
various kinds. Most of the animal food
is, of course, insects. These constitute
AZ per cent. of the total, the other two
per cent. being the larger things, like
mice. The animal food is taken most
~ in the summer. In the winter the
food is mostly vegetable matter. The
insects the bird kills more than make
up the damage he does, especially as
his nest robbing appears TO be only
an incidental habit not often INDUCED
in. A large flock of the birds would
of course destroy lot of grain. Some
$4,000 would eat about 1900 pounds n
day, but they would consume as many
insects, which would more than de-
stroy the amount the bird does.

INCREASED MILK HOW.
Upon Securing IL Depends the Prosperity
of tho Dairy.

One cause of failure to realize profit
in the dairy is due TO the small amount
of the milk secured. Some of the cows
may be extra mixers and give yield
both in quality and quantity that will
make her profitable cow to keep, but
in very many cases n sufficient number
of poorer animals will be kept that
yield hardly n sufficient amount of milk
to pay for their keep, and the conse-
quence is that taken altogether dairy
ing does not pay.
In nearly all cases large yields per ami
NAL mean less cost in making them.
That is, the man that has cows that
will give yield of milk from which
400 pounds of butter can be made will be
able to put his butter on the market
at less cost per pound than the farm
err that must own and keep two cows
in order to receive the same amount of
butter. 1t may require somewhat more
feed to produce the 400 pounds of but
ter from one cow than it does the 200
pounds from one of the others, but the
food support is the same, besides the
extra investment, the milking and car
ing for the two COWS instead of one.
Better cows is the truest remedy.
Find out by careful trial which are
the best cows; select them out and
breed them so as to improve; fatteu
and sell all that do not give "A profitable
flow of milk. Good blood lies at the
bottom, and while it is important it is
not everything; to good blood must be
added good feed and care, as feeding
and general care have as much to do
with increasing the product of individ-
ual animals as breeding or blood.
Secure a liberal quantity of good rich
milk and then give such management to
the milk, cream and butter as will in
sure a good uniform quality of butter.
Reduce the cost of production as
fully as possible without reducing the
quality of the product. Make only a
good quality of product and dairying
can readily be made to pay.-N.J j. Shep-
herd, in Western Rural.

MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES.
Some Advantageous Alliances Erected by
Their Assistance in France.


A very profitable form of swindling
Is that of the matrimonial agencies
which are now worked in France in q
manner entirely unknown, says the Lon
don Spectator, to NJ. De Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by in
termediary. There are, of course,
Offices where preliminary fees are asked
and where wife seekers and ladies
ycarning for lords are quietly swindled
after having been told to go to the
opera, the salon or the fashionable
church of Sainte-Clotilde. The strange
part of the matrimonial agency scheme
is that you never know, when in society
whether some banker, priest or old lady
Ct fierce virtue and mystical tendencies
may not be husband or wife brokes.
There are young ladies not too thin
skinned, head walters in certain restau-
rants, livery stable keepers, clustered
nuns, notaries and lady doctors of the
obstetric school. These are only por-
ton of the army of workers in the inter
csts of Cupid. There are at present in
Paris two wealthy American girls who
have married titles, upon the wedding
day of each of whom a very handsome
commission was paid to one of these
Intermediates, of course without the
know ledge of the wife.
