IN THE COUTH. The Generation and Growth of tlio Long Lsaf rlne. DennAU Sot-ninoi Xnws. I ItAI.Blnil.K. C; EditoiiOrkoo.v Scout: Crack ! crash 1 and a heavy nnd pe culiar jarring ill ud upon tlio onrtli, arc sounds familiar to tlio oars of dwellers in tliu long leaf pino forest.. They nro tlio founds of the fall of the inagnifl cant tree?, ns they fall honeath the slroko of the woodman's axe. As wo hoar those pounds ami see growths of many long years falling to tlio bosom j of Mollt'T Earth, Iho question comes i up, Is Nature doing anything to ro- j place tins rapid lossr Whence uamo tli j first sods from which these valua ble ticoa sprung? And do Ihoy boar anything upon themselves toroproduco their kind? Ono question must bo left unanswered. No nun knows whenco came the seed from which hnve snrunk' tho original pines. The j other questions may bj answeicd. Natuio is at work to recover the rapid lois of tho grown pines, and these pinos do boar itpnn llr-niselvcs ilia seeds to reproduce pines. Let us study these facia or works of Nature, and wo shall find that she is giving us lessons of in tercut and insluetioii. If all vegetation dropped its leaves in r.iitumu, iivcry largo part of the earth's Mirfaco would bo bare and brown, through the long winter months. Hut Naluro h.ia given us tho evergreens; fresh and livingovidencc of her lifo and vitality during the apparently dead montlu of winter. Tlio largest family of these evergreens aio tho cone bear ers; and in this family, tlio long leafed pino bears tho largest cono. Thoso cones are as much an ornament to tho tree as a rose bloom to tho shrub; and exist for tho same purpose; viz, to boar tho KK'ds or mast as they are called by the people living among tho pines. Once in two years theso cones mature, mid bear nakod heed in the axil of their long, hard and paddle shaped to puis. TIium! seals arc partially winged; ho that tho breezes which make tho "so(i 'liing of tho pines" through their j gently swaying brunches, bear tho .seed in all directions and often to great dis tances?. Homo of these teed fall in good places and germinate. And now wo find Nature doing her best to re place tho losa of her sturdy children; tho century old trees which tho wood man is jelling, in order that tho build ings of our northern town.s and cities may hsfvo hard pine floors and beauti ful interior finish To thoso who are not familiar with tho young white or young yellow pinos of the North, a young long loaf pine proiints a now and beautiful upp nm:iw, I'loiBO think of a small feather duster turned handle down; notice how the feathers droop and turn outwards from tho con lor or o:id of tho handle, in a graceful circular bunch. When tho young long loaf pino fust appears ithovo tho ground, only a bunch of given needles is seen. Boon that hunch is larger; tho whole length I is above groud,and tho needles droop I gr.uefnlly imtwanl in tho ciietilar erofs-cxandne the witnesses of said claim hiineh. liko the feat herd in vonr dnslor. ! ant. and to oiler evidence in rebuttal of Jnsidc ot lliisgroou, urn shaped bunch ...... una ait liio imtioin is tlio inul or grow- ing point. It is a flattened cono at! filet, afterwards biicoming longer. This is tho growing point of tho tree, j and is found at the end (if every twig! or bran.:h on the tree, and at all periods . of i;.; g.M'.vih. On a largo tree thcao j growing points become a pointed conn, tdightiy Ur.iwn in at thu b.iso, and 1 Ihrco fourths of an inch thiol; by ono' and ono fourth inches long.
