During the last two or three years, in fact Since the matter has been agitated in the press~ many farmers have commenced small plantations. One near Peterboro' has plea- ted thirteen thousand forest trace and intends adding largely to the number. This will be described fully in my next report, now nearly Printed.

When in Kansas some time ago. I saw two plantations of a mile square each, the trees all four feet apart eaeh way, many of them thea twenty- five feet High and eight inches through. Tho proprietor, I was totd, calculated that when once he began to cut, it would yield, between railway ties house timber and fire- wood about fifteen loads a day for ever it properly cared for. This wound represent a very large income, but no one who viewed these long, close, sueceseive rows of fine straight trees could fail to see that the amount yielded ultimately would be ener- mous. One main advantage of such growths of timber, if they were frequent among our farms, would bo the checking of the perpetual washing away of the fertile soil, a process greatly and beneficially retarded where there are plantations—which, if broad and leaf - strewn, as they should be, hold large quan- tities of water and distribute it gradually to the adjoining fields. Few understand how constant and how prejudicial is this process, especially whore the land slopes. I have seen a steep bank ploughed, and when a heavy rain followed the -whole tops of the furrows were gone, and little cutting left but the deep mark in the harder soil below. The draining is prnpoeed as the remedy ; but where the hard pan is near the surface it is not effective, and where itis effective it is doubtful whether it can succeed here as in Britain, a climate where moisture is con- stant- Here the fields, as a, rale, seem to get rid of it too fast.

Tnere is a moral for Canadians in this, for we are doing the same as fast as our harder soil will allow us. While many understand the value of treoe so e are very hard to convince. I read a ie ortlitely cf a leading farmer whose place imittee were examinig to consider its claims as a prize farm. He did not get so many "marks" as he otherwise would, as he had nu trees planted for shade or shelter 130 was opposed to trees, it was said, as he thought they shaded crops injuriously and filled drains, He had lost his crop of winter wheat, the report stated in common with all in that section. How great a mistake was here will be observed from the fact that the the same summer I had been through the adjoining township nearly farm by farm and found by observaon and unanimous state- ment that the winter wheat was, and had been for years, generally a success where it had had shelter ,and a failure where it had not. The question has )been asked whether, in case of planting for -shelter, it will not throw a shade, injurious to some crops, for some 20 foot to the north or west: Certainly it will. For that small space, such crops as epriug wheat or barley will be weaker, Providence, unfortunately, has not created trees which will throw shade on cattle and allow the sun to shine through on wheat. But, en the other hand, we are drying up aid impoverishing the land for want of tree's, =•so that it is evident we resist have them somewhere. Further, although the spring wheat close along one side of the trees will be weaker, the grass will often be twice as good there as elswhere, and the ground, over the whole field, will retain the benefit of a shower (the chief aid to sammor., growth) much longer. Moreover, the value of the trees, if placed as suggested in the first part of this letter, will soon be a very important consideration. People nave very little idea how fast the wood is going. Within my recollection this whole country was au almost spr▪ ead over most splendid ef the large timber Cities, spread. over g now we have but a few scattered patches here and there (for the forests to the north do not contain the class of wood. needed) in 20 years there will be little left. There will be plenty of planting done then, but now is the time for those who wish to make it profitable- R. W. Petters.

DEAR Szets.--In answer to your question as to my opinion of the Gale Harrow, I would state that as a Cultivator for loosen- ing and tearing up the ground I would as- sign it the highest place of any that I have ever tried, doing its work more effectually, leaving no blanks, light of draft, and invar- iable uniformity of depth. Not laving test ed it as 0 seeder, I must not speak too posi- tively of its merits as such, but from its construction, and what I have seen, I have s 1 ani well pleased with the way it c ,oes its work, I prepared and sowed wheat in a very rough, lumpy field'whe%e it was impos- sible to use my drill. I also used it to dig potatoes, and afterwards prepared and sow- ed the same field withoilt plowing, and I am convinced that the Gale is the best and most' useful implement ever introduced to farmers of Huron Co. Respectfully yours, William Anderson, Stephen Tp, Gale Sulky HarrowMfg. Co., Windsor Ont. DEAR Srces.—The Sulky Harrow & Seed- er bought from your agent is just what we need. 1 have used it to harrow, cultivate and seed, and can truthfully say that it does the work'better, easier and with less labor than any instrument I ever saw. 1 will also state that 1 have a good drill, but think that broadcasting as done by the Gale is the way to sow grain to get the best re- sults I haye worked ten acres of wheat stubble with the cultivator without plough: ing and it did the work to.perfeetion.
