FORESTRY DEPT.
Profit of Tree Raising.
By J. o. BARRETT,
Secretary of the Minnesota State Forestry
Association.

Secretary OF the AluneSOTa state Forestry
Association.
BY experimentation the early set
tiers learned that only nom CONNER
cial trees could be successfully raised
on the open prairie. 1t may never be
safe to reject these pioneers entirely
as shelter belts for the commercial
sorts which are less hardy in the start.
With their protection, prairie forestry
is sufficiently developed now to war
rant the introduction of pines, white
and red oaks, canoe white birch, wal
nuts, hickories, hard naples, bass
woods, rock elms, the better ashes and
some others. 1t has already been
demonstrated in the southern half
of the state, that walnut orcharding
is paying success.
In Europe are plantations Of COM
mercial trees that largely support the
government. The little country of
Bavaria, for instance, owning 8, 100000
acres of forests, receives from them
net profit annually of &,5O0,0OO.
Minnesota, or any other state of equal
area, can do as we'll only practically
sympathize the enterprise. In Mas
sachusetts, and like success in other
New England states, an eight acre
lot of poor land, sown to pine seeds
in 1850, the trees cut in 1891, yielded
$1,000 from the box boards at the
mill.
At this rate 100000 acres, condi-
tons similar, would in 40 years
growth of the seedlings, yield $4,000,
600; and 10000 square miles, 6,40O,
600 acres, poorest land, located at the
headlands of our principal streams,
as forest reserves, would yield 81, 900,
100000 to say nothing of water
economy and healthful influences,
and benefits to the general agricul-
ture. According to good authorities.
the increment value of wood growth
after the trees, have developed to
about half their maturity, is five cents
per tree. Dating these rations, and
allowing each acre to have, average,
only 100 trees, the increase in value
per acre of the 10000 square miles
would be $31, 100000.
Calling the net but half this sum,
it is obvious that, with right manage
ment, the profit from the cut would
literally support all our state public
institutions, Is it not worth while,
then, for the state to encourage the
raising of pines. and other CONNER
cial trees on lands useless for no other
purpose than such tree culture?
Let the prairie farmers, 200, con
slider their chances. The demand for
timber is constantly increasing. If
they would oegin this commercial
enterprise with simply one acre, and
every year plant new one, 80 that
the value would be continuous after
the first cutting by selection and
keeping the forest intact, the income
would far exceed the profit Of all
their other crops.
An Indiana farmer was recently
offered $50 for each of his four walnut
trees which he planted in younger
years. He refused the lumberman.
Going home, he said: "Wife, / have
lost 100000 today" She laughed
outright, saying, "How can that be
when you never had so much in all
your life?" Mentioning the offer, he
added, eff when I planted those four
walnut seedlings, I had planted 4,
600 such, don't you see I would be
worth $2OO,OOO?"

employing the car routes. The expense
per day in 1866 was two cents per CAPT
ia; now it is four cents.
To conduct this enormous amount of
passenger travel an army Of men is re-
CURED, The elevated railroad system
employs fully five thousand men as SUI
perintendents, civil engineers ticket
sellers, clerks, inspectors, locomotive
engineers, firemen, conductors, train
guards, gate keepers. porters, lamp
trimmerS, painters, maChinists, carpen-
tiers, coal passers, track walkers, labor
ers, etc. The cable companies employ
nearly three thousand men as conduc-
tors, motormen, switch tenders, road
scouts, inspectors, clerks, machinists
and in other occupations, While the
horse-car lines give employment to as
many more, their hostlers having to
feed and look after some ten thousand
horses. 1t is understood that the total
number of men gaining a livelihood on
all routes is twelve thousand, which
means a support of over fifty thousand
persons.
Taking the expenditures for car fares
in Brooklyn and Long Island City at
three-tifths that of New York, and the
amount spent on Staten Island ana In
the New Jersey cities contiguous to
the metropolis at one-flfth, we find that
within a radius of ten miles around the
city hall there is daily expended the
surprising sum of S139,5o0 for street
travel alone, If the bridge and ferry
receipts are added the grand total Is
not far from $15O,OOO per day, or S54,-
$50, 900 per annum. This is equal to
$13.75 each year for every man, woman
and child making UP the four million Of
population estimated for the district
described. These figures afford one
more proof of the greatness OF this me-
| tropolis.

at his own creations as much as at the
recollection of the circumstances under
which certain passages and incidents
had been written,
Dickens was one OF the most abste-
mious men ever have known, lie ate
but sparingly and rarely took more
than two glasses of wine at dinner
He was a charming host at the dinner
table, and could brew a gin punch that
was famous among all his friends lie
liked to dilate in Imagination over the
brewing of this punch, but when 1t was
ready | always noticed that he drank
less of it himself than anyone VINO

see him merry This was in Dublin,
where we had had a particularly large
house Dickens had invited a Dublin
friend to sup with him after the read

Dickens greeted me with a shout, arose
from the table and insisted upon my
giving him a back at leapfrog. My
pockets We're bullying with money, the
receipts of the night, and as he went
over my head his foot caught in this
protuberance of my coat and down we
both came, the coins flying in all di
rections. But you should have heard
his peal upon peal of laughter as he
scrambled to his feet and assisted me
to pick up the scattered gold and silver!
II saw Mr.. Dickens for the last time
on Thursday, June 2. 1870, when I called
upon him at his office. He looked then
sadly worn and ailing and as if he were
in great pain. Seven days later, at my
own home in Ross, I had just finished
shaving when my wife came into my
room with a white, scared face

The Daily Average.

This gives daily average of 1550.00
passengers and an expenditure of ST.
500 That these figures are not exag-
created is shown by the statements of
car advertising companies, who give
the elevated roads $4,000 passengers
per day, and the cable cars 500, 900,
leaving only 100000 for the horse cars
now operating within the length and
breadth of the present incorporated
limits of the city This is equal to al
most S12.54 per day per capita of esti-
mated population, or $45.77 per annum.
1t will be noticed that while the vol
ume of street car travel is now nearly
six times greater than it as in 1865 the
city population has only trebled during
these thirty-one years. The apparent
disparity is explained by the building
up of that part of the city lying above
Forty-second street, residence in which
compels the inhabitants to constantly
travel on the cars, IT should be re-
membered that in 1865 more than half
of the population was located below
