CArAAPA FOR POSTS.

We have two or three inquiries as
to the value Of the catalpa as tree
to be planted for post timber. Where
It will do we'll It is one Of the most
valuable Of trees for this purpose. It
combines rapid growth with great
durability when used for this pur-
pose. A tree planted fifteen years ago
by near neighbor on his lawn meas
ures ten inches through at the butt
and will furnish two post cuts or q
total OF at least six first class posts.
North Of latitude 40 there is some
difficulty in getting the tree well start
ed owing to the extreme cold Of the
winters killing the new growth back,
but after the tree gets six years old 1t
becomes harder and from that time on
seems to be as hardy as bur oak
It likes best rich and moist soil.
and there are hundreds Of thousands
OF waste acres all over the country
which could not be put to better use
than to plant them with catalpa trees.

THE SANDY FARM.

A friend writes us that last winter
he was persuaded to buy small farm,
when the ground was covered with
snow, on the representation Of the
owner that it was good piece Of land.
When the snow went off he made the
discovery that instead of being good
soil it was sandy and almost worthless
for cultivation. The funny thing was
that he was inclined to take the sellers
word as to the quality of the soil be-
cause the man, his wife and twelve
children had made living on the farm
for three years previously. Our friend
wants to know what to do with this
poor soil. We have before said that a
sandy farm was by all odds the hardest
sort of farm proposition to handle.
The wet farm can be drained. the stump
and stony farm can be cleared, the
stiff clay farm can be rendered pro-
ductive by clover, manure and pasture.
In Wisconsin the owners of sandy
farms are meeting with some success by
growing clover, rye and potatoes. By
a clover rotation every fifth year sutli-
cient humus and fertility are worked
into the sand so that it will grow a
good crop Of potatoes once in five years
We know of nothing better than clover
or possibly alfalfa. to use to get such
soils into productive shape.

WILLOWS AND swAMps.

We came across lately what we knew
thirty years ago as muskeg swamp
of four acres, an undrainable and ut
terly worthless and unproductive plot
of land upon an otherwise good farm.
The owner, finding he could not drain
the swamp for lack Of outlet, did a
novel thing. He waded in and stuck
cuttings Of the common white willow
all over it-this probably about twenty
years ago. AS we saw the old swamp
the other day the water stood three
feet deep all among as fine grove Of
thrifty willows as we ever saw, trees
forty feet high and almost foot
through. The old bog, so worthless.
had been converted into a very valua-
BILE timber tract which would furnish
at least sixty cords Of wood to the
acre and when cut off would imme-
diately proceed to renew ITSELF This
Is a novel type Of forestry, but none
the less valuable for all that. Thou
sands Of farms all over the west offer
the chance FOE experiments as above
Indicated.

LIGHTNING LOSSES.

The season for lightning losses is at
hand. A large share of the losses
which the farmers mutual insurance
companies are called upon to pay is
caused by loss of stock by lightning.
This results from the almost universal
use of wire fencing for the pastures
and the failure to properly ground the
wires the wire on the fence being able
to carry a current heavy enough to
kill stock half mile from the point
Of discharge. a crowbar some short
pieces Of wire, and man can protect

three feet will do the work if placed
