Occupation for lnvaNds.

Invalids often need some object to
take their attention for n long time.
We suggest, when they live In the
country and have land. that they try
experiments in planting trees, and we
suggest the black walnut as a tree
which grows rapidly and will return
a profit. 1t requires a rich soil, in
which 1t grows very fast. w. ]. Moyle
tells us that he has taken the measure
ment OF twenty trees set out forty-one
years ago. They have attained a
height of fifty feet, and for beauty and
shade almost equal the elm. They fur
nish, besides, many bushels Of nuts for
the boys and girls of the village. Fol
twenty feet from the ground the trunks
are without a limb, and an old logger
estimates that the lumber from each
II re is worth 500. The walnut Is a
fas, and robust grower, and when the
value of the timber Is taken into con-
s%ideration, 1t Is surprising that this
tree Is not more largely planted.
