TIE FARM GROVE.

The value Of ten acre patch of soft
maple timber on the average western
prairie farm can hardly be overesti-
mated. We say soft maple, for better
than any other variety Of our decidu-
Gus trees it meets the conditions Of soil
and climate of the prairie sections Of
the country. 1t is a very rapid grower,
will bear thick planting, furnishes an
excellent quality of fuel, while if thick
ly planted it will grow tall and straight
and furnish poles and wood for the
many farm needs. Such a grove is cas-
lily obtained. Select ten acres Of good
rich land, ploW and prepare as for a
coTnfeld Mark it out six feet apart
each way and plant the young trees at
the intersections of the markings.
These trees may be easily raised from
seed soWn the year previous or may be
dug up by the thousand along the
streams which intersect all the prairie
country. Cultivate for two years, and
that is all. In five years from planting
thinning out may begin. Such a grove
will add $500 to the value Of any prai-
RE farm.

A CONTRAST.

In this country it is not unusual to
hear our so called poor people com
plain because they are deprived Of the
luxuries of life, etc., and there are very
few Of this class who know what It is
to be really hungry. How different is
the condition in the older countries,
where the people go for months to-
gether without SO much as tasting
piece of meat, where the killing Of a
critter is looked upon as a sort of gala
day, where the peasant considers him
self lucky if he can be sure Of his sup
ply of black bread and onions enough
to keep soul and body together Here
the laborers strike for an eight hour
working day, while in England hun
dreds of thousands walk the streets
and are kept at public expense because
they cannot get even one hours work
per day. 1t is little to be wondered
that this land Of ours appears a para
disc to some of these sons Of alien
lands.
