PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
Where will coming generations get their
supplies of timber? How they will la
ment the bleak and naked hills, and cry
out against us for despoiling them of their
chief beauty, and leaving behind us. few
or no traces of our forest scenery, except
in the painted landscapes in our parlors!
If our forests are so valuable now for tim
ber and fuel, will they not be still more so
in the next generation? Then why strip
them off so remorselessly? Rather let
them be husbanded. Tet them be thinned
out, but not utterly demolished. A care
ful calculation shows that sixty thousand
acres of pine wood are cut every year in
the State of New York, and that at this
rate, in the year 1875, these trees will have
disappeared from this part of the country.
It is said, also, that "the produce of tilled
lands carried to tide-water by the Erie
canal, in one year amounted to $8,170,000
worth of property; that of farm stock for
the same year is given at 83,230,000; that
of the forests, in lumber, staves, &c.. at
$4,770,000. Thus the forest yielded more
than the stock, and .more than half as
much as the farm lands," Shall we, then,
utterly and forever exhaust this source of
comfort and wealth? Let us beware, lest
we kill the goose which lays such golden
eggs!
Forest trees should be preserved, also,
for their beneficial influence upon the cli
mate. It is universally conceded that the
winters of the northern State.? are colder
now than they were thirty or forty years
ago; and that the weather generally is more
windy, fluctuating and disagreeable. We
have greater extremes of heat and cold,
and severer droughts. Peaches once grew
in abundance throughout central New
York; now, it is almost impossible to raise
them. The wheat and some other crops
are more uncertain. These things are as
cribable, not so much to any deterioration
of the soil, as to the destruction of our
forests. Formerly, our farms had belts of
wood land, which broke the force of the
winter and spring winds; uur hill tops
were covered with battalions of trees
which defended the slopes and vales. The
snow was not blown off"from the tender
grain crops in winter, nor were the fields
laid bare to the blighting winds of early
spring.
One of the greatest drawbacks to farm
life on the western prairies is the absence
of forest trees. Wood for lumber and
luel is scarce, and houses and lands are
exposed to the rake of merciless winds in
winter and spring. Almost every mail
bring 9 accounts of extreme suffering at the
West, on the open prairies. To make
those lands a paradise for the iarmer, they
need nothing so much as the kindly shel
ter of wood lands.
In conclusion, we earnestly plead with
the farmer for a more considerate use of
his woods. Remove old trees, but touch
the youug with a sparing hand. Clear up
your valleys, but do not strip bare the hill
tops. Leave groups and single trees here
and there in your pastures, both for the
contforl of your flocks and herds and for
the beauty of the landscape. Plant belts
along the north and west lines of your
grain fields and your houses. For purpo
ses of shelter evergreens are best; but
mingle with these such rapid growing
trees as the larch; scarlet-flowered maple,
Dutch elm, bass wood and yellow locust.
The time is coming when they who exert
themselves to save the remnant of our
noble woodlands, will be considered wise
men and public benefactors.— American
Agriculturist, February.
THE CRANBERRY
As an Ornamental Plant. —No plant
of its size can equal the Cranberry in
beauty. Its leaves of rich dark green in
summer, changed to a reddish brown in
winter, remain on the plants through the
year. i'he thread-like stalks stand and
mat close like moss. They would form a
border somewhat resembling box, and
would require only an occasional trimming
off of the runners to keep them in form
for years. From the last of Jutte to the
10th of July they are in blossom, being
thickly interspersed with the most beauti
ful transparent pale pink flowers. The
flowers are succeeded, as if by magic, with
the berries, at first green, but soon chang
ing to a bright crimson scarlet, covering
the plants in a prplusion uneqnalled by
any other fruit, having produced three
bushels of berries to the square rod. The
berries will remain on the vines through
the year.
I may be enthusiastic, but have never
seen any plant that would so soon attract
attention as the cranberry plant. When
in blossom, its bell-shaped flowers, sus
pended by a hair-like stem, almost seem
the work of some fairy; and then the ber
ries, two, three, and on some varieties five,
attached by the same fa air-like stem to the
parent stalk, itself only the fifth part the
size of a straw; excites one's sympathy
lest the fruit break the parent stalk, and j
we at once see the wisdom of their clus
tering so closely together, thereby being
enabled to bear their load of crimson ber- !
ries.
If the nature of the Cranberry was
fully understood, it would be found in
every "Country Gentleman's'" yard as
well as in field culture. i'he)' draw their
sustenance from water, a small quantity of
which is absolutely necessary to sustain
the plants in bearing condition. The air
always contains sufficient moisture and
pure sand will attract and retain sufficient
moisture in the proper form for the cran
berry plant in any location. 11. L. I).

LIVER COMPLAINT, JAUNDICE, and all :
Affections arise from some derangement—eitj
torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the LiiJ
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and re:|
it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to r|
health, and the constitution is frequently UMJ
mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the sn|
torn. Obstruction of the duct which empties .1
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overll
into the blood. This produces Jaundice, win!
long and dangerous train of evils. Costivenest |
alternately costiveness and diarrhcea, prevt-
Fcverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, wearns!
restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes:"'
ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiw;
sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the>c<
and the white of the eyes become a. greenish jrriiou
the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the tou|
the whole system irritable, with a tendencv to M
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bife;
diarrhoea, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of i
or four Pills taken at night, followed bv twi
three in the morning, and repeated a few days, v.
remove the cause of all these troubles. It is wire
to suffer such pains when you can cure them fc- :
cents.
RHEUMATISM, GOUT, and all Inflammatory

these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus
they afl'ord to the vital principle of Life. H
these and all kindred complaints they should I

useful. No Pill car. b made more pleasant tot:
and certainly none has been made more effect;.., '
