To the work mentioned above, In re-
gard to refores ting, we may mention
an auxiliary, which may yet become Of
vast Importance in supplying the lum-
Der needed by this country. II Is In
organizing the boys TO engage in set
ting out trees on waste land. Work
To them becomes play when they know
they are doing something beneficial
that will be commended by everybody.
Here Is an Illustration of what may
be multiplied hundreds of thousands
of times witt, profit In many ways 10
the boys in addition To the benefit TO
the country. Two thousand young
Norway maple trees, which were set
out about four years ago by the boys
at the Newark city Home, in Verona,
n. J., have grown remarkably we'll,
and some of the trees placed by the
boys are now ready for transplanting.
The Superintendent, under whose di.
rection this example of forestration by
boys was carried out, contemplates
maxim & little park In the property Of
the home al Verona, and ii is probable
that some of the trees will be set out
to beautify the surrounding land.
The boys at the house, about year
ago, began the work Of enlsrging their
nursery. They collected quantity Of
seeds Of oak trees from the vicinity of
Verona, which they planted last spring.
There are about dozen boys engaged
In this work. Their ages range from
II TO IA years.

MULCH VERSUS COVER CROPS.

That uiethed of orchard care which
gives good results in one section NAV
not be suited TO conditions prevailing
in another locality is nicely shown in
reports from the North Dakota and
Nebraska experiment stations relative
TO the use of orchard cover crops. Ia
experiments conducted in the former
state II has been found that cover
crops growing during the latter part of
the season take moisture out of the
soil 10 such an extent as to greatly in.
crease the danger TO the tree from win
ter killing because OF too dry and
loose condition of the soil. In the lar.
ter state cover crops are strongly rec.
commended because they tend to dry
out the soil and hasten the ripening
process In the new wood. there being
enough moisture for the growing OF
the cover crop and TO keep the soil
IN proper condition during the winter
months. To take the place of the GOV.
er crop the Dakota station recon.
mends mulching about the roots of the
trees with light covering of straw
which holds the snow and answers tha
same purpose as some growing cron.

Progress Ia Reforesterlnx.

The importance OF reforesiering Is
pointed cut In statement by {. Il.
Pettis, State Superintendent of Forests,
New York The statement says, In

For the Farmer.

The Connecticut Agricultural Expe
riment Station, at New Haven, has
issued its report on fertilizers, which
may be had free to Connecticut citi-
zens on application. 1t shows that
the farmers of this State are paying
about two million dollars yearly for
fertilizers-79 per cent more than was
spent ten years ago, and more than a
quarter Of what is spent for farm la
Dor. Ii says In part;
IL all the money spent by the State
for the Agricultural Station were used
In the work of fertilizer inspection
alone, which Is very far from the case,
it would amount to orly per cent Of
the value OF the fertilizers bought, q
very moderate insurance of the quality
of the fertilizers sold in the State.
1t gives the composition of every
brand Of commercial fertilizer sold in
the State, with discussions of particu-
lar matters of interest in connection
with these an alyses. For instance
while the quality of cotton-s seed meal
shipped by southern mills is very va.
riable and often inferior, it is now pos
sibIe for Connecticut buyers to know
what they are getting, and secure
considerable rebate on inferior grades.
This Is made possible by the Station
analyses. More than $500 tons, cost
ing over $4,000, were thus tested last
year.
The report classes swamp muck or
peat as one r our neglected "natural
resources, . conserved only because not
properly valued. Its value as an alb
