Ferest Preierratlea.
The public lectures en forestry before
the scientific eeclety of the University of
Pennsylvania, are attracting widespread
interest. Bernard Fernow, chief of the
Forestry division, U. 8. department of ag
riculture, was the latest te contribute te
this excellent feature of the University
en Thursday. After referring te hew the
removal of the forests from the hillsides of
France bad caused the French government
te spend 50,000,000 in twenty years te re
store them, the lecturer told hew the de
nudation of UioAdirendacks.lnXew Yerk,
had left the Hudsen less navigable new
than at any time in its history.
Mr. Fernow gave some points that are
ever ancient and ever new when he said,
" Taking into account fires and the waste
of lumbering, our yearly consumption of
weed is net less than twenty-five billions
of cubic feet. Te produce this amount re
quires an area of five hundred millions of
acres, se well stocked with trees as te
yield fifty cubic feet of new weed annu
ally. The area reported as forest four
years age was about five hundred millions
of acres, but much, if net most of It, hardly
deserved the name of forest, It was se
thinly stocked. We are using probably,
twice as much weed as grows yearly upon
all our vast domain, and thus squandering
the patrimony of our children."
It is net tee much, as the lecturer sug
gested, that the country's face be sternly
set against the sale of the seventy million
acres of timber land still owned by the
United States. Let them be withheld
from sale and kept under government pro
tection te the end that some beginning may
be made in the fight for forest preservation.

4. But if the trees are quite hardy and the
winters usually mild it may be done in

Cultivating- Lima Beans.
from the GermantewnTetegrapn
The lima bean ia generally considered the
meat desirable of all the beans grown, and
one that requires no little amount of skill te
bring it te perfection. Failure te secure a
crop of this kind of beans deters many from
making the attempt te grew them. As a rule
the want of success Is largely attributable te
tee early planting. It does best in a warm
temperature and should net therefore be
planted until tbeaeasen h somewhat advanced
and the soil thoroughly warmed. Successful
growers recommend that planting be deferred
until the first week In June, hiving the soil
thoroughly pulverized and sufficiently dry se
as toaveld any danger of Its beoemingcrnsted
ever ae as te impede the coming up or the
bean. They should be well fertilized; some
recommend a liberal use of superphesphate;
ethers a heavy manuring with horse manure,
but we Imagine It makes little difference what
the manure is, If it Is used in profusion. There
must be enough te push the growth of the
beans. The best success we ever had with
lima beans was with the uaeef brush for tbem
te run en Instead of using poles. When they
get te be four or five feet high clip off the ends
ae aa te cause the growth of laterals and te
Induce an early blooming. With proper
attention there need be no reason wny the
beane sbeuld net de well.
Early fotatess.
from the Germantown Telegraph.
If it is a luxury te have early fresh grown
vegetables, prevision must be made for
their early growth, Early potatoes surely
cannot be grown If they are net planted, and
In order te aid their earllness et maturity
they sbeuld be brought into a condition te
be strong and vigorous te hasten their growth
as seen as placed in the ground. Te de this
bring some seed Inte the light and in a warm
room; they will seen begin te develop
sprouts which will Increase In vigor If the
tubers are kept properly:melstened ; let the
sprouts grew te some length and as seen as
the soil is suitable plant in the ground.
Tne advance thus made will be surprising.
