Relation of Horticulture to Forestry.

From Farmers Review;-The soil
may be rich in all the elements OF plant
food, yet for want of moisture and
trees may be barren waste. History
presents instances enough to clearly
demonstrate the fact that where for
ests wane all conditions change for the
worse. Deforestation and depopula-
ton without doubt have always gone
hand in hand. Where formerly kings
and queens ruled the mighty and
prosperous empires of the world, to-
day we find but sadly disfigured
country or place of desolation. What
more of a proof is necessary to show
that the one great problem which con-
fronts the prosperity of any country
1.-THE index of which lies in the sue
cess of its agricultural and horticultu-
raj branches) is directly dependent up
on the condition and position of its
forest areas. The older prosperous ma
tons of Europe recognize this fact and
its important relation physically and
climatically to their country, and have
taken steps toward the proper man
agement of their forests. Some Of
which are now yielding them handsome
yearly incomes.
The matter Of forest preservation
and tree planting should concern each
individual, for unless our agricultural
and horticultural industries flourish
the country at large is influenced like
wise. 1t is high time we awaken to
the fact and act accordingly. Or do
our conditions differ materially from
those CT older countries?: The settler
of the forest region, like his prede-
ccssor in the older states, attacks all
trees and shrubs. with a mania for

During General Forests brilliant
and memorable movement in the
American civil war against the flank
and rear of Colonel Coburn's regiment
at the battle of Thompson's Sutton.
Tennessee, he was mounted on his
favorite horse, Roderick, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Desiring tc
press the enemy from a strong posi-
ton across an open field, he appeared
upon the flank Of one of his regiments
and ordered it to move up. The men
leaped to their feet and with loud
cheers dashed forward under a hot
fire. The general, attended by his son.
Lieutenant William Forrest, accom-
panied the charge, and, in the conflict
which resulted in the overthrow OF
the enemy, Roderick was wounded in
three places. The general dismounted
and changed horses with his son.
charging him to- lead Roderick to the
rear and have his wants we'll attended
to. On reaching the hostlers Lieuten-
ant Forrest had the horse stripped Of
saddle and bride, supposing that he
was too badly wounded to attempt to
get out of the way. But Roderick, as
soon as he was set at liberty, began
to nose around, evidently in search OF
his master, and when General For
rests voice, clear and unmistakable.
was heard in the distance directing an.
other attack, Roderick instantly prick
ed up his ears and neighing eagerly In
answer, dashed away before he could
be intercepted, guided by the sound
of battle, which at that moment broke
out afresh. Lieutenant Forrest, fear
ing his rather's displeasure, imme-
diately mounted, and with several at
tendants, gave chase, but Roderick
out-stripped his pursuers, and when
found was following quietly at the
generals heels, having leaped three
fences in his progress, besides getting
another wound from which he was
bleeding freely. The general was in
great wrath over the supposed tnegli-
gelce. but when the case was ex-
plained to him he burst into tears and
threw his arms about the horse. 1t
was the last time he caressed him, for
a little while afterwards the old horse

Management of Lambs.

AS I have been raising lambs FOR
over 20 years I thought I would give
you my method of management, writes
contributor to Indiana Farmer. AS
soon as the grass begins to fail and
we have cold rains and snow storms,
1 bring my ewes to the barn, and be-
gin to feed them .ensilage in the morn
ing, fodder out in the lot through the
day, half ear of corn each in the even
ing, and clover hay at night. After
three weeks give the same amount OF
corn in the morning also. 1 have
lot adjoining the barn about as large
as the sheep house, with cistern and
pump in it; have trough SO arranged
that the sheep cannot get into it with
their feet This pump full as often
as they empty it, as sheep require
great amount of water on dry. feed in
winter. This lot and sheep house l
cover with straw once a week.
I keep the sheep in house every
night, and all stormy days, never al
lowing them to get wet after I bring
them to the barn. In about two or
three weeks after they have been in
winter quarters, drench every sheep
with about two tablespoonfuls of tur'
pentine in about 20 of milk. This IS
to destroy the internal parasites that
sheep are troubled with. II notice
any sheep coughing or showing any
symptoms of paper skin l give it an
other dose. l consider this very es-
sential, for all tlocks are more or less
affected while on grass, and can be
cured, when not allowed to so on the
pasture, by this treatment. When the
ewes begin to drop their lambs feed
them some bran with their. corn.
watch the ewes very closely and as
fast as they drop their lambs, i sep
arate them from the rest Of the flock.
If they drop two put them in small
pen by themselves for a few days I'M
til they learn to Keep with their
mother. If young eve disoWns her
lamb tie her up in a small pen so
small that she cannot turn around in
it. l hold her and let the lamb suck
| three OF IOuT IllllSS IL uuS. SAo SWIM
as the lambs are old enough l cut oil
a pen in the sheep house, and keep
bran in a trough all the time. They
soon learn to eat and will slip in sew
eral times a day. My sheep house
ground floor is six inches higher than
the outside, so no water can get in and
cause dampness. I clean out the sheep
house often, do not allow manure to
heat there as this will ruin flock or
sheep. l have my racks so arranged
that the sheep can eat both hay and
corn out of them, and not get on the
feed with their feet; cannot get dirt
in their wool or cut the wool off their
necks. By this method last year win
tered fifty ewes that dropped in Jan
uary and February seventy-five lambs
and raised seventy-four. The same
ewes in September dropped thirty-hVe
lambs and raised thirty-two, which l
weaned when brought the sheep into
winter quarters, and the same ewes
will drop another set of lambs IN
March and April.

From Farmres' Review: 1t may
seem sabsurd to talk of manuring soils
naturally rich, yet the evidence OF our
official statistics tends to prove these
naturally rich soils have a very low
productive power. The low average
Yields per acre, of wheat and corn on
our rich prairie soils is often quoted
nc a kind Of national reproach. There
seems to be no doubt of the fact that
these soils are rich, there is certainly
no denying that they give a very low
acre Weld. Low acre yields on ricn
soils is practically invariably due 10
INEQUALITIES IN the supply of fertilizers
or manures. A soil rich in organic
matter is likely to be rich in fertilizer
nitrogen, but may be relatively defl-
Client in fertilizer potash and phos-
phoric acid. In natural state the
potash and phosphates have been used
over and over again in making crops
of grasses, more or less of which belong
to,the legume family. Thus, there Aa'
been a constant increase in the sup
ply of fertilizer nitrogen, but no cor
responding increase in the supply OF
potash and phosphate. The result IS
that tbs soil Veomes charged with
