it's importance by the national gov
eminent and much more is sure to
be accomplished. In Nebraska alone
an area of some $4,000 acres have
been planted in the last few years.
The writer says:
Many mistakes were made by the
early tree planters, and much of the
timber now standing is of little COM
mercial value. because the primary
desire was for quick effects, which
were secured by using rapid-growing
species of poor quality and short life.
From the standpoint of protection
very satisfactory results were OBJ
tanned, but in future planting the use
of trees which will not only serve
for protective purposes, but also pro-
duce timber of higher value for posts,
fuel and lumber, is strongly urged.
The farm windbreaks and shelter
belts, and the small planted groves
which furnish fuel, fence posts and
repair and construction material con-
stitute one of the less striking
phases of American forestry today.
Considered, however, from the stand
point of the greatest good to the
greatest number, their value to the
vast host of citizens who follow agri-
cultural pursuits becomes apparent,
and their contribution to the pros
perity of the west is realized.
Practically every section of the
country can be helped by more in
teiligent and extensive forest plant
ing by small landowners. By this
means the abandoned farms of New
England can be made productive, the
best kinds of shelterbelts and wood
lots secured in newly irrigated Sec
tions, the needed protection given to
field crops and necessary wood ma
terial produced on the treeless plains
and prairies, and the whole country
made more attractive as a place Of
habitation. With the development of
the semi-arid west through the recla-
nation of large areas by irrigation
and dry farming, an entirely new
field for forest planting as farm
crop is opened up. One of the fInc-
tions of the Forest Service is to en-
courage this work by determining the
species most suitable for every situa-
ton and region, and by giving advice
as to the most economical and effec-
tive methods of planting and protect
ing the young trees.
One of the most potent influences
which retard forest planting on farm
lands is the difficulty experienced in
securing suitable planting material
save at almost prohibitive cost. I'm
til recently very few nurserymen at
tempted to raise forest tree seedlings,
and the demand was so uncertain that
high prices were charged as an off
set to the uncertainty attendant upon
the disposal of the stock. The high
initial cost of nursery-grown seedlings
the expense of shipment, and the I'M
certainty of receiving the young trees
when wanted haye had very dis
couraging effect on the small planter,
and the establishment of plantations
has been c1rtailed in consequence.
On the other hand, home production
of young trees has seemed too diff
cult task for the novice; while the
rush of farm work at the time seed
beds should have the most attention,
together with the lack of reliable
information as to how to grow for
est seedlings, has generally checked
all efforts along this line.

TREES FOR FOREST PLANTING.
The Department of Agriculture has
reprinted from the 1905 year book a
most useful essay on How to Grow
Young Trees for Forest Planting"
making a handy little pamphlet for
mailing that should be in the hands
of every person who contemplates
adding to the value of his lands by
growing forest trees. 1t is only a
question of time when these addi-
tons to the farm will largely in
crease it's value. The aim of the
pamphlet is to instruct intending
planters in the most economic man
ner obtaining the desired result.
Much work has already been accom-
plished as result of recognition Of

DEcAYINo VEGETABLE MATTER.
Get II Into the Soil II You Would
Save the Ammonia.

In the decay of vegetable matter
nitrogen In the form of ammonia is
thrown off. This is the case whether
the matter decaying Is In the open air
or buried In the mass of manure In
the barn yard. The escape of the am.
monia represents the departure of
fertilizing element that Is of value to
the farmer. All efforts should be made
to prevent the escape of this gas
The only sure way of doing 1t. says
Farmers Review, Is to get the manure
or the decaying vegetable matter into
the soil where 1t will be operated on
by the forces there and the nitrogen
combined with elements that will re
duce It to state In which 1t can be
made a plant food. The weatherins
pile of horse manure Is one of the
waste places of the farm. From II
the hot steam rises, having In 1t q
very large amount Of the fertilizins
element named. This Is especially SO
In the spring, summer and fall. Many
farmers allow the manure, and espe
cially the horse manure, to accumu.
late throughout the summer for fall
use. In the warm weather the decay
of the vegetable matter goes on more
rapidly than In the cold weather and
the loss ID consequently greater. In
large stables this loss of volatile ele-
ments amounts to large sum. II the
nitrogen be valued at commercial
rates.

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION.
Naive Comment Of Debatante That
Amused Hostess.

A charming hostess Of one of the
big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of premature
white hair. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least SO it appears in
n instance of which the hostess her
self tells with enjoyment.
The lady is a connoisseur of an
tiGues. At n of her teas a debutante
rich with the glow Of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense Of novelty,
was handed a cup of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring to light
en- the strain on her youthful guest
by a pleasant 6iverting remark, said:
THAT little cup is a hundred and fiji
ty years old"
"Oh," came the debutante's high
strained tones. How careful you
must be to bs go kept it so long!"
