FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
We Invite communication! from all rron who are
lnterentfd in niattera projierly belolifc-IUo- to this de
partment.
The Forests of Europe and America.
In ordor that some idea may be formed
M to the enormous extent of land required
to grow trees for building and other pur
poses, in Europe alone, it may be stated
that no less than 6,000,000,000, of acres are
at this moment estimated to be in cultiva
tion as woodlands, which is a very large
per cent on the whole area. Norway and
Sweden to begin with, have about 80,000,
000 aores covered with trees. Indigenous
to the country are the Norway spruce, fir,
Norway maple, Scotch pine, elm, beech,
&o. It is gratifying to know that young
wood is springing up to replace the fellings
round the ports, but must take some time
to reach maturity ; and there is always the
risk of premature use in order to meet the
requirements, however temporary, of this
market. There have been attempts at the
introduction of foreign trees, and not with
out some prospect of success. Foreign eaks
poplars, pines, walnuts, ect., are reported
-as growing to very fair dimensions.
In Spain and Portugal about 6,000,000
acres are occupied by Scotch pino, oak, and
cork trees. Sycamore and larch are the
principal products. If ever the Spaniards
settle down to develop the immense resour
ces of their country tboy will And that a
timber trade with England will be a profit
able one.
Germany has taken better care of her for
ests than other nations, and her extensive
woodlands have been replenished by fresh
stock. In the 60,000,000 acres sho possess
es of timber-bearing land, she owns fir, oak
larch, beech, pine chosnut, olm, birch, and
popular, and although the price is at pres
ent very high for square timber, still no one
'disputes the sterling qualities it is known
to develop.
To Italy we are much indebted for very
excellent walnut, but her 5,000,000 acres
also produce Mr, pine, oak, and poplar. As
in Spain, nearly all the ligneoes trees of the
world might be grown in such a climate as
this.
Turkey is not of much importance as fur
nishing timber trees; nor is Grece; but that
they might bo, is gathered from the fact
that tboy have about 10,000,000 acres under
forest cultivation.
Denraark,with its 8,000,000 acres of wood
lauds is of more importance to England than
the above countries, the woods being princi
pally of Norway spruce, fir, Scotch pine, oak
ect. Passing over Belgium as almost unim
portant, we corao to Rusio, with about
3,000,000,000 acres of land developed to
timber cultivation, llore we find the Scotch
pine and Norway spruce in plenty, besides
beech, elm, oak ect, and foreign trees have
been successfully treated.
But no sound system of forestry has yet
been obtained in Russia. ' With such a gi
gantic area of forest lands, aud a good sys
tem of administration, we should see lower
quotations in these places, did such a system
exist. The ice-bound ports of Russia are
certainly against her, but in the open months
there is no reason why her position may
not be immensely improved as a timber
exporting country.
As to British North America, no one can
form anything like an accurate ostimate a of
the enormous wealth of timbor, compara
tively neglected, and yet so dear in our
market. It is computed at a guess that
there are about 900,000,000 of acres British
North America occupied by timber trees, or
more than the extent of Great Britain a
dozen times told. We all know the pino
and spruce from these forests so well that
any detailed ocoount would be superfluous;
but if the Government will not take steps to
utilize such a great source of wealth, we
must expect North American deals and
timber to advance to a still higher price than
that with which we are threatened, not to
montion that which we already Lave been
aud are paying. The large forests of British
Columbia should be looked after,abounding
as they do in firs reaching 300 feet in height
with a diameter at the bottom of about 10
feet, besides the Pinus Strobus, aud other
Couifeiio. The U. S. do not supply England
us with much timber, compared with their
600,000,000 acres of forest land. The great
influx of population bas led to the most
wanton waste, and-'the consequences are
now being felt. But a time may arrive
when a judicious thinning and replanting
of forests may occupy the attention of the,
people,in which the position of the country,
as a timber exporting one, may be resumed.

Jute a Protection to Urowiug Cotton.
A planter of - Point Coupee Parish,
Louisiana, has lately :i ki bis attention
especially called to the cultivation of jute'
by the statement that in an adjoining par
ish cotton-worms did not attack a field of
cotton surrounded by a row of jute. He
says it has also boon proven' that the stoma
of the jute, after having been crushed by
the rollers used in sugar-mills, are readily
separated from the fiber.

Fever & Ague Powders
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE-
VJCK, DUMB AGUE, OK ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER !
The Greatest Discovery of the Age !
THERE are no diseases so debilitating In
their effects upon the constitution n the
above, and none more difficult to euro bv tbo
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove a preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating It from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills In any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED: .
Their Reputation is Entablithtd. Thousands
of testimonials havo been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles iu
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
Thtrt it no liltk in Takina Thim. thev
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of thoBe lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the many nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommend them as far superior to Qui
nine, or any other known remedy,for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are put np In square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford," on the wrapper.
No others can possibly be genuiue.
