ETnENNE, the well known French au thority on the subject, has issued his estimates of the harvests of the world for 1882.

Thus there are aive generations of women in continuous line living under the same roof, they being Mrs. Hendley, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Wolcott, Mrs. Colby, and little Miss Colby. Mrs. Hendley is ninety-five years of age, and the infant a few weeks only.

The present season has been all that ould be desired for trees and plants t. 'ast, spring. It has been cool and vet, excellent for the development of oliage. The moist weather giU Lng Lundait foliage has develoued plenty )f root, but this root like that of any >lant. in saturated soil is superticial. It he season had )eeln less wet, the root rrowth would have been less, but it vould have been deeper. The ten days vithout rain in this vicinity during the ast of July, caused greater distress to .orn and garden crops than would have >een the case from three weeks of Irought in an ordinarily dry season. [rees planted last spr:ng and not vatered showed unmistakaTle signs of tit'ering. "Those who understood their isifess prevented this, by giving the oil a good soaking once a week. The difliculty with those p)lanters w ho arve not studied the nature of the ilant s they cuiltivat e is that they seldom ive water enough. Theiy water often nioue-h, somietimes too often, but1 sup~er ieiaI)y. 10 is dissipated by the first tin, aind scarelyv reaches t he roots at 11. Let us illustrate in this way: The rater ini a 20ond that is one foot deep aas the same number of sup~erficial feet or evapborat ion, as the pondl four or nore feet deep. So it is with super icial watering. T12he inch or -two of urlface moistened is soon (dried out, he roots having receivedl almost no o id from the watering'. In the case of continual superficial vateringos the disability to the tree is niensitlied; the roots extendl nearer and iceri~i the surface rather than d1own yard. The aut umn finds the tree with Ci its roots near the surface, and the iex t season, if a dry one, often kills it mtright. In fact the secondI season is onsidleredl to he0 the most critical in the ife of a recently planted tree if it be letieient in rain. Hence the planter of >rnamnental trees and shrubs wvill see he necessity of careful wvatchuing of )ianted trees, especially such as have wot made fair leaf growth, for ac'cordiing o the amount of leai growth so wvill he he root, for it is wvell knowvn that there s no root growth until the leaves xpanlhd; andl, hence, aga'n, the reason vlhy an evergreen may be plantied at any eason)f, nnd for the reason thamt the eaves are always more or. less active. n fact deciduous trees may be most uccessfully planted when in leaf if only he leaves be kept from wilting. So 0iso it is well known that a tree wvith >lenty of top will make roots faster han a tree cut nearly or quite to a bare Scienco then, in tree planting, is to ice first, that they never suiff'er for vant of mo'sture at the roots; and .eee md, that the roots be 11indCed to strike leep s quickly as possib)le.-Prairie 'armer.

It is uttered by a s(Iuare-built, smooth-faced, matter of fact looking man, whose voice has struck a certain pitch which has increased in force with long practice. His name is Mykins, and lie is without a doubt the richeit newsboy in the United States. Mykins has discovered no gold mines; he Is no bonanza king. He has made his money by selling pa pers at ten cents apiece and blacking boot s at ten cents per shine. lie in vested his noney in property in Denver and loaned it out on good security, and he is worth to-day from $10,000 to $50, 000. A queer fellow is Mykins. Night and day he hawks his papers on the street. He knows just where a paper can be sold. le is at the depots at the right hours; he knows just when to go to the hotels, and he can spot a stranger on the street, and sell him a paper, while one is wondering what place he came from. "Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Lonis, San Francisco and Kansas City morning papers!" There the cry is heard where many people are gathered together, and there many dimes are raked in. One day Mykins passed. "Do you see that newsbo3 "" said a gentleman to the man of news. "He is worth $50, 000." " How does he make itP" " He came here a few years ago and commenced selling Eastern papers and blacking boots. lie averaged $10 per day at the former busines.-s and no in considerable amount from the latter. le invested his money and now owns several fine residences on Lawrence and Fourteenth streets, two or three of those Grant houses on Walter street, some fine property un California street, and besides has any anount of no-noy loaned out at interest. He is a rustler, and will still black your boots for a dime-at least he would a few months ago." Trhe speaker led the way to the: news boy's stand. An old coal box neair the corner of sixteenth and Larimer straots, with a boot blacking chair and appa ratus at one end of it, making the place of business of a man who was worth enough to make him comfortab'e for a lifetime. "Why don't you interview Mykins?" But this was easier said than done. Mykins is cvidently a man of sterling business principles. One dime realized from the sale of one paper is evidently more to him than an hour's conversa tion with the most interesting gentleman im the world. He did not desire to tell anything about his business. Yes, he sold a good many pIpers. bometimes lie had a boy to help him. Hie had been herie several years--yes. Most of these patpers are shipped through to Myk ins direct.

The time when the manuring of the land and the feeding of live-stock had to be done without any guide but ex perience is coming to an end, and very lortunately so, since the old farming is becoming unprofitable on all worn soils. The science of fertilization and the sci ince of feeding had their birth just as the old-time farming was declared not to "pay." As natilr's bounty seemed to be exhausted, and the earth to refuse her increase all along the castern edge Df our continent as well as in Europe, the invest.(gations of science revealed the fact that there wero other manures besides those of the farm-yard. It re vealed also the fact that by a proper ad mixture of the old and the use of sono new footi materials, domestic animals might, be reared far more economically and satisfactorily than before. An'd this latter work has been also very greatly helped by the al)plicaItion of science to the breedinr of these aniimals, by which breeds are now produceed which are especially adapted to ea:-h distinct purpose for which such animals are desired. Seie-ntific study a)plied to farming, though yet il its infane'-, lits done noble work in solving its most. dilielult proble-a, and has much more than no comlplished the proverbial feat of miak ing two spears of grass or grain grow wiuere one grew before. The immens an1d constantly growing use of Vom imercial tertilizers all over i the civilized world attests what science has dlone in that direction, which is yet but a drop in the bucket to what we shall see Tho wonderful improvemuent in every specius of live stock is. to the eye.s of every middle-aged farmer, a Constant sulbjoet of sirlprise. The. fat oxln, the( -trint or fast horses, tle detep-wooled sheep. tile round and tilkv swine, the milk yieldinhg cows with thi-it- great. recordls of buttter and1( cheise, are as mutch a cause of wonder and at mark of the proo ress of this new age as arec thle muechm ical (discoveries, the steam engine, thle iron steamship, the railway. the elec t re telegraph, electrie light anhd elect ric motors, the mowingo mach inc and the si-wing-miachinue, and all the other won dersof the time. I iut as the old-time stage-driver can not, without miuch instruction, become a locomotive engineer, nor the old-time p)ostmatster become t lie skilled t elegraph er without trainiing, so nmeitmr can the wor-k of the farm now be suecessfuil 13y conduIctedl wit hout the possession of linore knowvledge than was attainable by our- fathier. }ariniig is rapidly beOcomi inig a skilled proftession, sulc-es~s in wvhiich will regjuire a liberal training, eqiv-alent to, t houg-h not the0 same as, that n hich ha~s hieretofore been gi venl in what are cal led the learned professbins.

It is hardl to reaLl/.e, at first, what all t his really means. It is no wonder that so many old1 farmers have thrown scorn upon01 h ook-farining."' The history of. the world from the time of Adam re-. veals the tiller of the soil as always an uinlearned man. "T'he times of' t his ignorance "' Godl providedl for bv stor ing uip in thle prinmeval soil a f'und of fertility which shoul la-t until man kind grew Out of its infancv But now the time has (come for all rdin to( openl their ears and learn, b~y thle study of God's works and1( ways in nature, to provide for their own wants.
