ular favor. The dull, obscure flower

things about these trees; first, that
they were almost entirely our red and

Is often quite surprise that trees that
appear as though they would keep on
growing FOR many years longer should
50 easily topple over in n storm. The
red and BLACK oaks are much more sub

failure and destruction, than are any
others, but. in large measure, the diff
Guilty arises from tho fact that, in our
valley woodlands especially, the oaks
are almost all from sprout growth.
/ Very few are from seed. Sprouts are
OF deceptive value because they grow
very rapidly for few years and over
top or crowd out everything else.
But they soon change in growth rate,
and Will never make trees of full size.
They not only fail to develop a strong

culiarly liable TO become diseased.
This comes primarily from the old
stump, and naturally is exerted along

1t IS possible, however, to secure
them by planting acorns directly in

opening in the ground or among the
rocks sufficient to allow covering tho

MARKETING HAY.

press has revolutiouized that. aud hay
IS shipped pressed from all parts OF
the West when the price rises above
low figure. 1t i probably true that
the Eastern farmer who owns land near
good market can use it to better
purpose than producing hay. To sell
any kind OF hay from the farm ex-
hausts its fertility quite as fast as
growing and selling grain and straw.
Besides, the farmer who draws hay in

days time Tor himself and team. lie
IS shut out from making many sales.
for many people who keep n single
horse have not spare barn room to
hold full load of hay unless it is first
compressed into bales. They pay
more for it in this way, because in
buying the hay they also pay at hav
prices for much other material done
up IN the bale which is practically
worthless. Boston Cultiyalor.
