'Flu- Value of Trees.
Mr. Milo Barnard, whose home is near
Kankakee. Ill., in an address before tho
Northern Illinois Horticultural society,
covering last a large experience during the
twenty-five years in planting ti-ees
for wind-breaks, groves and for other
protection, concludes as follows:
nished My timber has for several years fur
firewood for three families, as
well ns poles, stakes and posts in abun
dance; the maples of till kinds have pro
vided delicious syrup, the walnut trees
have yielded nuts, and all have given
shade from the burning sun and shelter
from the blasts of winter, both to man
and beast. The'protection to the gar
den from cold, spring winds is one great
advantage. As I never had a fruit tree
girdled done by rabbbits and little damage
by insects, except the coddling
motli and curculio, -I think the groves of
forest timber are entitled to a part of the
credit, at least, for this immunity from
damage, by providing a good harbor and
food for the rabbits, as they eat (doing the ten
dcr twigs of thc forest.trees no
harm if they do not cut the leader), and
they have no occasion or desire to gnaw
apple trees in open ground. The birds
find their natural resting place among they
the branches and so increase that
keep most kinds of insects in check. Aly
forest tree planting has been to me
entirely satisfactory, taken as a whole.
It has transformed an open, bleak,
swept prairie into an attractive, shelter
ing, cozy, home-like farm, where the
melody of tlie song-bird blends liar
moniously with the evening zephyr as it
goes whispering through the pines.
Skilful Cultivation.
Skilful cultivation should be the aim
of every one who raises plants and crops,
To make gardening and farming profita
ble, it is necessary to have something made, and in
return for every stroke that is
for every dollar invested. . Even w-hen
only a few r house plants are eared for, w e

acre of land to a certain crop; it costs
for the season the interest for a year on
the investment made for it, bes.de the
expense ot preparation manuring, cu t.

what good.cultivation has proved ought

preparation, of sowing, and of cultiva

other expenses but little less; but apart
of the land was too wet, and the plant

as it should have been, and on
the same account the manure that

enough of that could only produce combined
tral effects, and so, from these
causes, we ffet back for our season’s
work, perhaps, 1 the expenses and a little
more. The interest and expense were
fifty dollars on the acre, and our returns,
all told, amounted to sixty dollars, this giv
ing a profit of ten dollars. At
per acre on the whole place, with what it
provides for the table beside, with great
economy, one may, perhaps, live along
for a while, and the laud is growing
poorer, and the value of the first
meat is lowered—the place is running
down. But at a little more expense in
preparation, perhaps ten dollars on the
acre, enough to insure the best result,
making the whole sixty, instead of fifty
dollars, as before, and the crop is twice
as gr a nt and perhaps further enhanced
in value bvite superior .quality. All of
this success, then is profit_sixty dollars
or more, instead of ten an amount that

POPULAR SCIENCE.
At a recent lecture delivered in Phila¬
delphia by a prominent scientist,the gen¬
tleman said it takes a prodigious layer amount of
of vegetable matter to form a
coal: that the present growth only of the
world would make a layer one
eighth of an inch thick, and that it
would take a million years to form a coal
bed 100 feet thick.
From English mortality statistics ex¬
tending over a considerable period, death Dr.
William Ogle finds that the rate
among clergymen is lower than that, in
any other occupation. If the mortality
for the three years 1880-82 among min¬

farmers will be denoted by 031, among
lawyers by 841, and physicians by 1122.

The progress of science and the arts
has no stronger confirmation than in the
methods of utilizing waste products which or of
endowing them with properties
render them of increased value to indus

Commenting on Lieutenant Greely s
discovery of coal within the Arctic
circle in Greenland, Mr. TV. .Mattieu
Williams expresses himself as dissatisfied
with the prevailing notion which de¬
mands a sub-tropical climate for the
formation of carboniferous deposits, lie
has himself described the deposition of
the coal that is in actual progress at the
present time in Norway, within four de
grees of the Arctic circle, and believes
that similar deposits may be found farther
north. No very violent alteration of ell
mate, therefore, need he assumed to ex
plain the Greenland coal.
Scientific men have been perplexed for
mnny years over the phenomenon of a
certain well at Yakutsk, Siberia. A
Russian merchant in 1828 began to dig
the well, buthe gave up the task three
years later, when he had dug down thirty
feet and was still in solidly frozen soil,
Then the Russian Academy of Sciences

as hard as a rock. In 1844 the academy
had the temperature of the excavation
carefully taken at various depths, and
from these data it was estimated that
the ground was frozen to a depth of 612
feet. Although the pole of the greatest
cold is iu this province of Yakutsk, not
even the terrible severity of the Siberian
winters could freeze the ground to a
depth of 600 feet. Geologists have de¬

English Luxury.
Speaking of English luxury, Adam
Badeau says in the New A r ork 6tin: “In
a. great house thirty or forty indoor ser¬
vants is a common number, and often
there are as many more in tire stables,
and still as many others in the gardens,
or the glass, as the conservatories are
called. One nobleman that I knew w'as
master of the Rounds and kept seventy
horses, and for every two horses a man.
At an entertainment in the country-—a
sort of pageant or play—I heard some
say that a hundred of the servants
came into the great hall and stood be¬
hind the guests; the remainder were on
duty elsewhere. Several times, in large
establishments, I asked kitchens permission and still to
visit the offices; and thc
rooms and sculleries, the larders and
laundries, the gun rooms and plate rooms
and brushing rooms, the housekeeper’s
rooms, the pantries and the servants’
hall made a labyrinth of labor difficult to
explore. In making tiie rounds I was
taken to the nurseries and the school
rooms, for tutors and governesses are
only a higher sort of servant in England.
They live and eat apart from the gentry,
and often get less wages than valets and
ladies’ maids. I saw, too, tin. bedrooms
