Trees for Posts and Lumber.

On every farm there should be from

cultivated for posts and lumber. On
western farms the planting should be
done in the draws where the soil is
rich and water nearest the surface. 1t

planted in the pasture. The trees OF
course while young should be fenced
and protected from the stock When
the trees are beyond damage from the
stock the grove can be thrown open
and used for shade in summer and
wind break in winter
For posts, common hedge will prob
ably do best in the drier sections. Plant
far enough apart that the trees can
be cultivated. The trees should be
kept trimmed. Good posts will grow
before the farmer realizes it. Russian
mulberry will do well also. For lum-
ber cottonwood will be the easiest
grown and as good as the farmer can
obtain for dimension stuff in erecting
farm buildings. Large quantities of
cotton wood lumber are now being
used in building.-From the Farmers

Controlling Nature.

Everybody knows that of late years
natural forces have been wonderfully
subjected to mans need. We are daz-
zled by the spectacular achievements
in steam and electricity, but are like

marvellous conquest of animal and
plant life.
For example, our parents knew moth
ing of the tomato except as a curious
ornament in the garden. Sweet corn
was hardly better than the commonest
field sorts. All oranges had seeds.
Celery was little known and poor in
quality. In the flower bed the mag
nificent pansy has replaced the insig-
nificent hearts ease. from which 1t
was developed, and the sweet pea in all
its dainty splendor traces its origin to
the common garden vegetable

plants and animals to go back to the
original type. 1t is indeed battle TO

his own sake, for from the begin

for the poor captive. But when he
heard his story and read the letter

all hesitation vanished; his plans
ripened at once and on the spot he
told Onesimus he was free.
Not only was he free, but taking
him by the hand and leading him to
an inner apartment, he called a
young girl and presented her to One
sinus. With astonishment the two
gazed moment at each other, and
then with JOY unutterable they sprang
to embrace; for the girl was the sis

The Leaf Roppers.

The small insects known as leaf hop
pers may do greater damage than sup
posed. They are very abundant on
low growing herbage and have been
shown by Professor Osborn to bring
about very extensive although prob
ably unnotlced injury to forage plants
In large grazing ranges in the west as
well as in pasture lands in the east.
He shows that on an acre of pasture
land there frequently exist million
leaf hoppers and that they eat as
much If not more grass than COW.
One of the species is responsible for the
stories of weeping trees" which are
seen in the newspapers. These in
sects in all stages of growth eject a
fluid spray, when disturbed and when
occurring abundantly on trees, If the
trees are shaken, what seems almost
like shower of rain will fall One
Of these weeping tree mysteries so
called, in Texas, some years ago,
caused much newspaper speculation
with various ridiculous explanations.

solve the mystery, by climbing the tree
