Farm MISCELLANY.
SECRETARY WILSON LIKES WESTERN
CAROLINA.

A Charlotte Observer correspond
ent sends the following interview
with Secretary Wilson, of the. Ma
tional Department of Agriculture.
Seen at Asheville last week, he said {:
eyes, you have a splendid coun-
try, a splendid country" the Score
tary said, 'but it is being abused,
and unless there is early interference,
with remedial measures, it will he a
waste. I do not 9 why you people
did not inaugurate this movement
ten years ago. The trees and even
the bark is being sacrificed to com
mercial purposes and mistaken agri-
cultural effects. Already the dead
signs may be seen of the result OF
denuding the forests. Trees have
been cut, the roots r dead and gull
leys are there now to tell the story
of devastation-deep gulleys, in
which d horse, yes, even a coach
could be buried. And it is such a
pity. These mountains are the nur-
series of streams that T the saliva
ton of thousands of farms and fur
nish the motive power for a count
less number Of spindLes.
s.Some OF the principle tributaries
of the Ohio river have their source
in these mountains. The South is
getting a big share of manufactur-
ing establishments. Water provides
a cheap and effective power by which
these plants may Re operated, and
therefore the South cannot afford to
see the work of destruction go on in
definitely. Unless the timber is pre-
served the rich valleys will be sub
ject at all times to either floods or
drought. The leaves and MOSES
hold the moisture, and when hard
rains come, prevent the lowlands
from being flooded, and gradually
feed the streams. In this way the
farmer will be the principal gamer
though the preservation of the for
ests, and at the same time there will
be enough timber to supply all Iegiti-
mate wants. When trees are ripe,
they should be cut, just as corn
should be cut when it is ripe. The
simple need is intelligent direction
in the cutting, and the prevention of
wholesale destruction of the trees in
certain localities

BUTTER BOX.

In summer nice solid butter is
much admired and can be served to
the customer or grocer in town, miles
away, as cool as the proverbial
cucumber, if the farmer makes an
ice butter box as here explained. Be
sure to make it so it will enter the
rear end of your buggy, as wife often
goes along. First make a box con-
venient to hold your supply. Have
