THe production of wood for fuel and mechanical purposes would, no doubt;, haven greater1 ititercst. u fpfyth.0 100, vague ideas of the slowness of tr^flurawtiu rrCfe^0 ftrc tre9-s? that with proper c'ultivtui?if wnr*groh;'very rapidly ''some, it is said, will acquire a circum ''-'ference in five years of from eight to ten inches. With" this rapidity of growth, it. is easily seen that a few acres in a short time, with, the prospects of a scarcity nna^ a ljig\i price of timber, would make a valuable product. We mention differ ent Wiifds^ of? trees which | are especially vnlnuble for their wood and fruit .which are easily cultivated.' One is the chesnut which is already a speciality with nurse ry-nien, who,, provide the small trees. But they can be grown from the seed. This kind of tree is adapted to rough, un tillable laud, much of which has been cleared up, and is now going to waste. "The maple,'which is of a little slower growth than thc^ chesnut, yut grows rap idly, and the wood is very valuable some varieties are especially adapted to wet swampy iniida. For ornamental foliage, aud for the sugar, the maple should bo ouc of the most popular, and the timber is getting to bo almost as valuable for mechanical purposes as some of the forc^jh \A>ody.t* It was once stated thnt one ash trcGeis this country made over 3,000 rake handles, The tree was seventy feet high wilhouta limb. We have thus spoken of forest tree culture as 11 source of Pfojfit,?and?*nuch more wiU be said, we arc ftfrc, of the practicability of this cul turo after it has been tried, for it is com paratively a new subject, and needs at least to 1 cexperimented upon to get the facts. That H^vill pay, on a small or large scale there can be uo question, if there was no other object but to raise trees for their timber?but wc want more trees for their fruit, for their shade swaud protection, for-fuel, and especially for tie climatic influenco: for thedesfruo tj[ie clin vof om tioh^f^our*forests has unquestionably had the effect the turn away the full ol rain, causing the. drying up of springs and the decrease of supply for our water | power fed* by the small streams. If trees were planted on the hill tops of New Hm^hirid, they would break the force of storms, shielding from the wiuds, and increase the fall of rain. Tree planting by the way .side or in the orchards should receive more attention, and it may become a department in agriculture which will be as successful us any onlher. [New Knglund IIvmcstend. V Grafting Potatoes. A correspondent of the Rural New. Yorker advises the grafting of potatoes, in order to combine the good qualities of j two sorts. There are two difficulties in the way of success; first, the pieces of po tato stuck together will not unite, for the reason that the tubers, when planted, usually decay as the germs 3pring forth; and secondly, if they did unite, the qual ity of (Llijc produce from this, so called grafting would not bo influenced, except as the roofs from the eye pierced the other section-of potato, and then simply as fin the case of any sap taken up. N evert he il lesii, for the benefit of the curious wc give the modus operandi: Select of the potato which has your preference the very best and soundest specimens, cut out in a careful way, with a pen-knife, the buds or eyes; cut them out about one inch deep and one inch and one-half to three-fourths of an inch in diameter, in fhe form of a pyramid, e., that t^ie hole in tho potat ) runs into a point on the end or inside; then take of the other potato a piece, if possible, with from one to three buds ortoyes; lit it in as good and tight as you possibly can and tic up with a (.bass) string in tbequickest possible manner. To fasten the inserted piece more effectually, n hair pin may bo . ,pqt in from each side. Potatoes grafted in this manner should be, as soon as this operation is perfected, placed in damp ground and weil covered up. If the cuts grow cut?that is if the two different pieces join?the operation ia a success. annual statement SOUTHER! LIFE IXSURANCM CO., .<.:?/! memphis, tenn-5 Jammi-y 1,1874, ?" :'?!?:; assets.

During the year 1873, the income of the Company was ?1,043,249,70. whilst the total outgo of the Company for the same period was $529,006,41, leaving the net inoome for the year $1,114-, 183,29, augmenting the assets of the Company to $2,248,020,35, January 1st, 1874. The entire liabilities of the Company, at same date, embracing the reserve on policies in force and losses reported and maturing, amounts to $1,76,943,385. which, deducted from n^-tets, leaves a surplui, as to policy-holders, of $304,646,69. In view of the monetary panic during the four last months of the past year, at a time, too, when our receipts should be the largest, it is a source of satisfaction to the management and a gratifying evidence of confidence of our patrons, that the Company is among the few that shows increase of business and asset*.
