When tha country was new those -tortious were naturally first cleared vlileh seemed best adapted for linme llate cultivation at lett expense. Such atuU were tliotn which were warm and lry, and nemlcd but the clearintr off of die trees and a rough breaking to tit Jiont for farm crop In this way large ire as of low-lylnir and iwnmn lands were left in wood, and so continued. riiese low lands originally stronger in aatural com position of soil, have con- utiuml to lncrenne In fertility by the forest waste dead leaves and tlmlier, together with the wash of higher grounds until now thpy are, Jhe rich est lands we have. Has not the time irrlved when these low woodlands may be profitably cleared and put to perma nent cultivation An inducement to this is found In the fact that much of the higher and drier land first cleared has become ex tin tinted, and Is no longer profitable for tillage. Especially is this Si ass of thin. eh.inted land untitled tor grass; said the inereaslng deficiency 3f bay and pasture has bncome one of Uie greatest drawbacks to Eastern ag riculture. Now tho low grounds are the natural (rass lands, are stored with much or- ranle material, and need only to be cleared, drained and cultivated to be come very productive and permanent meadows wilh the enhanced price of farm' product over those obtained by our fathers and the easier and more effectual methods of draining now practiced, the job of ridding the land of surplus water, which seemed so diffi cult to our ancestors, has become easi ly practicable and almost sure to be attended with profit. .Hut this plan would far reduce ths area of our wood lands, which Is small enough already. therefore, since "turn about is fair play," why not plant the old cultivated and worn soils to forest trees? In this wsy the average of woodland wilt re main the same, or1 he Increased, and we gain In compensation large tracts of new and fertde solL There Is an abundance of surface in the Eastern States upon which wood ought to be grown, or allowed to '' remain con tinuously.

Many fnrnivrs and land-owners are intending to plnnt tevergrcens for shel ter belts, and are seeking Information aa to what is bctt to plant Tho white pine Is now having a boom, mainly be cause the seedling plants are obtained cheap from the forests of Wisconsin and Michigan. I say amen to all booms that will eause more evergreens to be planted. If, as I lml i eve, tho planting of good, houott trees will prove' Aiif the best Investments and greatest blessings In the near future that a man can add tb his farm. But Uie re are good trees and better ones, and If a knowledge gained by twenty years of planting and watching the habits of the differ ent varieties will be of nso to the pub lic, I shall do sotno good. The Scotch pine, in my estimation. Is the best ever green we have for Immediate .use. Il will make a shelter sooner than any other kind, but will not make so good a one in the end as the spruces. The white pine as a young tree from two to eight or ten feet' has fewer branches than the Scotch, less foliage, and that in -severe cold weather clings so close to the branches that it makes little . protec tion as compared to the coarser and more persistent foliage of the Scotch and Austrian. If any one does not think tills statement correct, let them, some bitter cold day, observe, and compare some white pines from two to ten feet high with Scotch or Austrian of tho same size, and note which offers the most resistance to wind and snow. The white pine is a grand and beauti ful tree, and, after it is ten years old. is the fastest grower of all, but up to that time the Scotch will make the best and quickest protection, and that is the very time that on onr wind-swept prairies it is most needed. The best shelter belt, all things considered, is a row of Scotch pine, six feet apart, on the inside of that a row of spruce, white or Norway, on. the outside on, or as many as you please, rows of white pine. Here you have as near as possible perfection of beauty and utility combined. Cor. Det Alointn (Ia.) Kegister. Mrs. Louisa Fries, of Cincinnati, is afflicted in a peculiar and unusual manner.

Rpldatnle Trai-eahla ta tha Pollalad Goa- dltlaa of frlvata Wslla, It Is a common belief that when a ell Is dug pure spring water, oor,ing from the ground, is obtained; that is true In the c:te of artesian wells; but, although oswiblc, is rarely the case with ordinury surface well, and under this name are embraced all wells not more than fifty feet deep. The water obtained front the wells Is merely the water which ha fallen on the sur face fif the earth in rains, and has jer colated the soil and become collected in this excavation. It is called eroutid water. Even granting that some of lhs water may Ie spHng water, some of It must b the results of drainage, and the amount of this will depend iiiwm the rain-fall, and the character of tho Soil. A moment's reflection will show that wells must act as drains to the surrounding soil. Just as a wet field may be drained by digging one or more trenches into which the soil may drain and lie carried away, so, when a deep trench or well is dug, the water in the surrounding soil will necessarily tend to drain into it This ia not only a rtiat- 'er of reasoning, but a mattt-r f expe- lence. The following ease is reported: "In consequence of tlj escape of the contents of a barrel of petroleum, or benzine, which h.id been buried, a cir cuit of wells, sixty feet Iks low, and two hundred and fifty or three hundred yards distant became so affected that i Ue occupiers of fifteen houses, contain lug eighty-two inhabitants, were for tn ' lays unable tnse the water for cook- inz or arinlunfr. nhen wells . first dug in rural districts, the water is pure and may remain o for a long time.' Fortunately, the oil possesses some power of purifica tion, and although tha water may re ceive polluting matter on the surface jf the ground, some of this m3tt Is Jf ained, mechanically, by filtration, and other ortions may be deoom posed and taken up by growing pi an Is and trees. Bnt this power of the soil is limited. When the sources of pollution ire constant and numerous, aa in pities, from privies, cesspools, slop-" water, offal and the manure of domes tic aniiaals, . and, sometimes, train, leaky and imperfect sewers amL-- "'""" the soil becomes 'filth sodden, : filth Is carried deeper and deeper finally it appears in our dnnkin ter. Sanitary literature is 1 instances of the outbreak" epidemics of diarrhoea, ty , fever and cholera; which been traced to the drinking of . water thus polluted; and. even tho,. tha city may go through ooa or more years epidemics, it not a pleasant thought for the inhabitants to indde in, that they are drinking the drainage cd their privies and eesa-pools. And yet they must realize the idea that their wells are, and must be,' drains for the surrounding grounds, with idljts con tents that are capable of solution in water. Science can not tell as that in a given water is charged Uie poison of a definite disease, but it can tell ns that it has received the product of decaying matter from animal sources, and. again, that such water is dangerous to health.

As the moon is 240,000 miles from the earth, it is thus practically brought to within 120 miles, at which distance the snowy. aks of several lunar mountains are distinctly visible to the naked eye.
