Every Day Spent in the Woods Will Be Pleasanter For Some Insight Gained Into What is Going on Therein. The laws which govern the distribu tion of trees produce two great types, the pure and the mixed forest The former is the result of local con ditions which trees of can In the North swamps, usually to the one kind only survive, balsam oC Woods the cupies the the ex clusion of all competitors, since no can thriwe in and the other of the native trees Black middle Hillis West the bull-pine wet places, In the other parts of the demands of upon small moisture enable it to form pure woods too dry to other The jach barrens on a soil upport ine of the trees. i the long-leat Jersey and of the or nearly Southern States grow In pure stands thes can withstand of these regions.

The aspen, short-lived and requir ing much light, holds its own with losgerdived and shade-enduring trees, because its downy seed is produced in great quantities and is scattered far and wide by the wind. The ash and the basswood, of rapid growth ami bearing an abundance of seed, are withheld by strong demands upon light, and by the need of a fresh and fertile soil. The red fir, equaled by few North American trees in rapidity of growth, and otherwise well equipped to gain the upper hand in its region, is controlled through the usual failure of its seed to germinate except when accident has removed the leal litter and exposed the mineral soil. The study of trees as living, striv ing organiems in a world of their own, lends an almost human interest to the forest. Every day spent in the woods will be the pleasanter for some insight gained into what is going on within it; and an earnest observer can gain endure rapidly pompt to discover the factors which control the occurrence of trees in mix. ture. Forestry, which deals with the development of the highest utility of forests, means a thorough understand. ing of the habits of trees.—Youth's Companion. o nen 515.
