TREES FOR THE FARMERS.
Addition to the Agricultural Departments
Seed Distribution system.

Seed Distribution system.
Washington Times: II the plans Of the
agricultural department are carried out,
members of the Fifty-seventh congress
Will have the privilege during next year,
and other years to follow. of distributing
small trees, which will be apportioned to
them in the same manner as vegetable
and other seeds are now. The secretary
of agriculture is preparing to make an
tree growth in the United States, and In
tends to begin the distribution of small
trees for this purpose.
There Is but little known about the
kinds of trees that can be grown in the
United States" he said today, land it is
the intention of the department to con-
duct a campaign Of investigation through
the trees distributed by congressman, just
sseeds. The subject Of tree growth is of
special Importance because of the rapid
denudation of our hills and mountains OF
all their forest coverings. Tree life n
the United States under the inroads Of
the lumberman's AK is gradually disap-
pearing. Some method must be found to
make UP for the loss, and what 1t is will
probably develop from our Investigations
Tho average American knows nothing
about the cultivation Of trees. He scarce
~ knows how to take care of the ordi
nary one that grows naturally, and he
will have to be taught If we are to pre-
serve our forests and shade trees. After
we have obtained sufficient data from our
tree distribution then we will issue a
book and regular bulletins giving infor-
nation concerning the diseases and cures,
etc.
1.-THE first thing sent out will have to
be small trees. 1t will be possible to send
by post half dozen small slips, though,
of course. they will have to be given more
attention than seed DaCkageS. Later.
when knowledge becomes more wide
spread on the subject, we can send out
shoots or even seed. Our special atten-
ton will be directed to the propagation Of
nut and all food furnishing trees. We are
now importing numerous kinds of pecan
and walnut stocks from other countries
to experiment upon"

and when she looked at the chirography

she opened 1t and as she read the first
few lines she gave gasp and happy

IN another second he had her in his
arms.
Mr.. Krader was told that the little
girl had grown healthy and pretty. She
was as anxious for him to see her as
he was, SO they got into her buggy and
went Immediately to the farm.
Krader had built up good business
In Australia and had made many
friends. She was quite as happy again
as before, was willing to go there, and
so last Tuesday the family left the
farm. expecting to finish their life in
the southern continent.

OUTSIDE THE. PRISON GATES.

Convict Who Lived Down His Past Record
and Rose to Prominence.
Youths Companion: The following
Is the substance of a true story told by
a gentleman who had been one Of the
prison commissioners Of the state Of
Connecticut:
Some thirty years ago when was
passing the state prison at Wethers-
field. noticed the gate open and a
man come out. The tears streamed
from his eyes and he stood perplexed.

gentleman, who will hire you in his
factory. and II were in your place I

leased prisoner. turning away with
quivering lips: I must say good-by.

God last night in my cell that when
came out would be an upright man
and take he consequences, and will
keep my word.

O little talk with my man and made a
bargain with him. That night, just as
the shop was about to close, we three
went to the workroom.
Here is poor fellow who was dis
charged from the state prison this
morning said the proprietor. I am
going to give him start in life by TAX
ing him into the shop; he begins work
tomorrow
There were indignant glances
among the men. and one spoke up
hastily:

not work with a jailbird!'

working if they would save their
homes, and have raised $4,000, which
