ELM TREE WORSHIPERS
For Four Ontario the New Eng-lander
Have Cultivated sad Nurtured It.
The elm tree is dear to the heart of
the New Englander. No other tree is
associated in his mind with the idea of
home. , It forms the most remarkable
feature of the domestio New England
landscape, and in no part of the coun
try is there a tree which occupies the
same position in the affection of the
people as the elm does in that of the
lnliabitanta of New England.
Tlie people who settled the shores of
Massachusetts bay brought with them
the remembrance of the em trees,
which were such an important and con
spicuous feature In the country where
they had been bred ; and it is not sur
prising that they sought to reproduce in
the new country something of tlie old
by planting by their doors the most
familiar of the English "roof trees."
So the habit grew of setting an elm tree
close by the home hewn out in the wU
derness, and these house trees, planted
by the early settlers of New England or
by their descendants of the early gen
eratioa?, are the oldest and noblest
trees which have been planted by man
in North America.
The affection for the elm tree, thus
early developed in the New England
heart, often saved it when thd land was
being cleared for cultivation ; and when
roads were made and provided with
trees, as they were mgre generally in
New England a hundred years ago than
they are now, the elm naturally was
selected to shade the traveler from tlie
burning sun of summer. The noble
stem supporting the broad head of
light and pendulous branches, the del
icate spray, indescribably beautiful in
winter, and the abundant foliage of
summer make the American elm one
of the most desirable roadside trees
when placed in a suitable situation,
and a fitting ornament stand by the
stateliest mansion or the humblest
farm house.
The American elm will not live to a
great age or develop aU its beauty in
every situation. It dreads drought and
starves in poor soil; its home is on fer
tile intervales along streams and where
plant food is never lacking. The elms
which grew to such great size by the
farm houses of New England owed
their stature to the nourishment stolen
from the neighboring garden or to the
moisture drawn from the weU which
Its branches shaded. Thus they grew
to great size and lived out their span of
life, which at best is not very great, for
the elm is a fast growing tree and rare
ly lives during a longer period than
two centuries or two centuries and a
half. The most vigorous of them be
gin to show the first signs of decay be
fore they have seen a century and a
half go by, and an elm a hundred
years old in perfect health is now diffi
cult to find except on some exception
ally fertile river lands like those which
border the upper Connecticut.
The elm is one of the best of trees to
plant where the soil is deep and rich
and where moisture is abundant and
constant; it is one of the least desirable
of all trees to set by the side of city
streets, where plant food is always
lacking and where moisture is quickly
carried off by the artificial drainage of
road bed and service pipes. Give it a
fair chance and the American elm will
hold its own against any tree in the
world in its own peculiar light and
graceful beauty ; but unless aU the con
ditions favor it there is no tree less
satisfactory, and it should not be plant
ed unless these conditions can be sup
plied. Garden and Forest.
, Normandy Butter Adulterated.
The British vice counsel at Caen in
his last report says that, in spite of the
special laws adopted very recently
against the fraudulent practices of the
butter dealers and merchants in largely
introducing various fatty compounds
to mix with the pure butter, this fraud
has been and is still being carried on
extensively, and the exporters have for
some time past been introducing the
hitherto excellent Normandy butter to
the English market largely adulterated
with the compounds. A syndicate of
the butter merchants of northern
France has been formed, and it has re
cently issued an appeal to all the hon
est butter merchants to endeavor to
avert this disaster to the trade through
the decrease of the exportation to for
eign markets, attributable to the adul
teration of the hitherto pure butter ex
ported. The export of Normandy
butter in 1882 to the English markets
alone amounted to the value of 89,900,
OOOi, while in the year 1887 it had
fallen to 58,100,0001, and since the lat
ter year there has been a still further
decrease. The syndicate proposes, as
a precautionary measure, that a new
law shall be passed to oblige the makers
of the compound to give it some color
ing matter other than the hue of but
ter in Its unadulterated natural state,
so that it will then be impossible to mix
it with the pure article without show
ing some trace of margarine. This
adulteration of butter is extensively
carried on in Caen,
