On th* contrary, European grain and meat go dear bg to market, because land is there very high, though the wages of labour are low. But >f our agriculture and manufactures cannot gt; profit to the full extent of tb;s advantage, while fuel is so dear. In.England, coal is cheaper than fire wood in this town. ihe r scarcity of fuel is therefore an obflacle to the growth of American improvement, vhich will stint %nd dwarf every thing that our hopes have anticipated, unless Come ca remedy can be found out. Coal mines, if M discovered, would be a national blefling and treasure. To make our roads turn- H and our rivers»navigable for rafts and y boats, woitld do a great deal of good by conveying with ease and cheapness the fuel from places where it cumbers the land, to places where the inhabitants are fhiveruig for the want of it ; and where, it may be c< added, manufacturers are deterred from set- c _ tljcp- for fear thai they (hall freeze. The h at c.f tv.rf or peat common in Ireland, r.nd it is said to be abundant in quantity, £ excellent in its kind, in many parts of n this viciiiity. Much of it is dug at Meno- c tomy in Cambridge and in Lexington. Our c bogs should be explored—wood i» however { so much preferred, that nothing else will be j generally made nfe of. Economy in burn- Ij, fng wood is an immense resource. More { was toafied fifty years ago than is now want- f ed.—Stoves, smaller fire-places, warmer t houses, more care in mending broken panes ] of glass, and fnutting doors, are ways to { snake less wood answer ; and we live by ( , tbefe means as warm in our houses as our ( prpdigal forefathers did in theirs. , , To all this may be added the oare pur ; farmers have taken of late to fence the wood lots from the cattle. Tn this single ( town, the cattle turned out to browze in { the spring have, within the last thirty years, prevented more wood from growing, than ■ would have paid two or three fold the value of the pasturing of tliefe tree-destroying fteefs and heifers. What would farmers fay of a man who should turn hi; cows and oxen in June into his corn-field ? Proba bly the young cattle do more mifchief in May to the unfeneed or badly fenced sorest trees. Cattle at large are a nuisance. Would it not be a regulation well deserv ing the attention of the general court, to require every town to plant the fides oi the public roads with for-A trees, •< Trtm forms a Jbtltcr, anj from btat a JtaJc." How matiy cords of wood might thus grow in 30 or 40 years ? Let our political economics calculate the length of all our roads, the number of trees and the quantity of wood. Any computation, fair and un fair, would result in proving the wisdom of such a regulation. Posterity would be proud of it, and thankful for it too. Surely, in point of ornament and ufeful - ness it would vie with the law requiring guide posts, which every body approves. The planting quick growing trees, as willow, Lombardy poplar, balm of Gilead, &c. certainly deserves attention. ' Even the elms, ash trees, button woods and maples 1 wili pay for planting by their growth 5 and on the borders of fields their shade probably does as much good as harm. , The fubjea is of deep concern to the public. The refourees for favir.g and mr creafmg fuel, mentioned above, may beSuf ficient for our present numbers.
