Tree Planting on the western ElAinA.
The division Of forestry. through its
section Of tree planting. has succeeded
in arousing widespread interest in the
subject Of tree growing on the plains
Of the upper Mississippi Valley An
agent Of the division has recently re-
turned from that region. and reports
that the farmers in the territory west
OF the Mississippi and north OF the
10th parallel Of latitude are awaking
to the importance OF planting trees,
especially for economic purposes. The
planters of this section are anxious 70
avoid the mistakes made during the
operation Of the timber claim act. The
groves now being planned are de-
signed to be permanent features on
the homesteads.
To that end. the farmers will use a
greater proportion Of long-lived. slow
growing species than formerly. The
demand for such hardy, drouth-reslst-
ing species as the blackberry. green

greatest present difficulty with which

contend Is the fact that commercial
growers Of nursery stock are not sup
piled with this kind Of material. The
nurseries still carry large quantities
OF the short-lived kinds. such as box
elder, cottonwood. maple. and willow.
but are short on the more valuable
species.
The planting Of conifers on the
prairies Of the west during the past
has not been attended with general
success. This is owing TO the use Of
eastern and introduced kinds that are
not adapted to the country. There Is
abundant evidence however, that the
red cedar and western yellow pine
(bun pine) will thrive throughout this
section. The desirability Of ever
greens for wind-breaks on a bleak
prairie should lead owners TO turn
their attention to these hardy native
species.

How one should grow vegetables
must depend very much on whether
the growing is to be for market or
for home. II the products are to be
used in the home the grower must
look out chiefly for high quality and
a supply available a little at a time.
Thus, there are certain varieties OF
strawberries Of high quality and tho
very best that can be produced for the
home that will not stand transport 70
distant markets For these markets
a poorer but frmer berry must be
grown. Then too in the case Of any
kind Of product TO be shipped away
considerable quantities must be made
available at one time. and usually
mixed lots are not desired.
Only dreamers make money easily
out Of vegetable OF fruit growing. and
they always figure a full supply to be
sold on an empty market Outside Of
dreams the business is as prOsy as
any other and gives only fair reward
for toll and care The business has
its pleasant features. and thus many
rush into IT, This makes competition
sharp. and the profits are, by the same
cause, reduced TO a common level with
the profits obtainable in other kinds
Of business. Nevertheless the man
adapted to this work can find in IL
much pleasure and a living. When he
has become master of 1t. he may some
year pick up a fortune. being favored
by a combination OF circumstances.
The man that is planning the con-
struction OF a cold-frame or hot-bed
must consider a number Of principal
points. The heat that is to be sup
piled must be sufficient for all uses
and must be uniform in quantity. The
protection from cold must be ample.
There must be provision for ventila-
ton and for watering. The frames
must be 30 placed that room will re-
main for the development Of the tallest
plants Of the kinds that are to be
grown, yet sil must be as near TO
the glass as circumstances will per-
nit The frames should. II possible.
be on a southern slope, and II It slant
a little to the southeast so much the
better. When frames are TO be used
merely to supply vegetables to the
family they may be placed on the
south side OF some building. Either
embankments or some windbreak
should be brought into use to
turn the currents OF cold air before
they strike the frames. Cold winds
eliminate much Of the heat so neces-
sary TO the development Of the plants.

French economist, writing on the
use OF sugar In France and England,
says that England. the only country
that excludes the manufacture OF beet
sugar. consumes more sugar than any
other nation and buys it at the lowest
price. A pound Of sugar In England
is cheaper than a pound ofbread, and
the Engllshman pays no more to con
sumo fifty-five pounds of sugar per
year than the Frenchman pays for
thirty-two and one-half pounds. The
per capita consumption In France
since 1870 was thirty-three pounds.
while in England II was over eighty
pounds. It is proper to state that one
reason why the French people con-
sumo so little sugar Is because their
way Of living requires less Of that ar
ticle. For the great part Of the French
people breakfast consists OF a bowl Of
soup. which is also frequently a part
Of the two other meals. Their drink
Is wine, and as they use but little tea
or coffee, especially in the country,
there is scarcely any demand for
sugar. They make neither preserves
nor cake in the family. The usual
dessert is fruit and cheese The high
tax OF five cents a pound on sugar is
paid by the well-to-do people who live
In the cities, and who take coffee or
chocolate for breakfast and a small
cup Of black coffee after dinner.

No one acquainted with the facts
will be able to successfully dispute
that great changes in our financial
system are being contemplated by the
banking syndicates, who now seem to
be all powerful in our government. 1t
Is needless to add that these changes
will be in the direction of fortifying
the monopoly of money which they
now enjoy. Bradstreets summarizes
the remarks of Secretary Gage before
the Bankers Association at Milwau-
kee, as follows: 1.-The Secretary holds
thai the present is the most propitious
time in the history of the country to
enter on the task of eliminating ele-
ments of financial weakness. He urges
the retirement of the legal tenders,
the modification of the bank-note sys-
tenn, so as to make it responsive to
commercial and industrial require
ments, the cessation of the govern
ment's guaranty of bank-note issues
beyond it's action as trustee for the
people in relation to the banks, the
deposit in the national banks of b
public moneys in excess of a reason
able working balance for daily use,
aud the application of the surplus
revenue to the reduction of the public
debt" This programme" says Brad
streets, sshas in it no elements of
novelty, but there has never been a
time since the establishment of the
banking system when it was so likely
day." Stripped of surplus verbiage,
this is a scheme to retire the green
backs, abolish the sub-treasuries, per-
NIT national banks to issue their notes
under the supervision OF the govern
ment without deposit of bonds to secure
them-for it is suggested that the sur
plus be applied to the payment of the
national debt-and the present national
banking system dies with the national
debt. The government would prob
ably print the notes and look after the
%solvency of the banks as it does now.
OF course, when a national bank should
fail, as fail they frequently do, either
the note holder or the government
would lose the amount of notes issued.
The scheme is not we'll defined in this
respect. Every dollar of the peoples
money in the United States Treasury,
except that necessary for daily use, is
to be turned over to the banks without
charge, to be re-loaned to the people it
belongs to at the market rate of inter-
est. 1t is the checklist piece of high
way robbery that has ever been openly
proposed in a civilized country. 1t Is
as If farmer Smith should GO to farmer
Jone and borrow fifty dollars from
him without interest, aud then loan it
back to him at a round rate of interest.
It is not strange that the great city
dailies do not fight this proposition.
They dare not. The average country
editor will not be apt to know much
about it until 1t becomes a law, If the
financial issue ia not kept steadily and
persistently to the front. By the way.
where do our friends the reorganizers
stand upon this question: The mem
bers of Congress from this state should
keep an eye upon all banking and
currency legislation. Every detail of
