NIIT-BERING TREE*. `
The London Free Friss recommends the
planting of oheetuus, black walnut, butter-
nut and shell bars; hiokory treee. It is not
necessary to take up much land as theee
trees may be planted for shading roadeidee
and pesturee, instead of other trees. The
only objection that can be urged against
their being grown along the roadside or .on
e, pactnro some disti nce from the house ie
that the fruit may be stolen. Very little of
this would thus be loet if their owners
would piok up all the fallen nuts under the
trees at sundown, at the time of ripening.
Strangers ascertaining this would not visit
the trees, and the neighbors who did not
grow them would pay, the eame respect as
in the ease of apples, pears or peached.
/Beeidee, the double purpose of planting
nut-bearieg trees for shade and shelter,
there are large tracts of land, such as bar-
ren hills end hillsides that it would pay to
plant for the orop of fruit alone. Cheetnnte
eel' now on our markets at $4 to $4.50 per
bushel, and hickory nuts es $2.50.
Our contemporary says that whether for
the valve of the fruit, or the timber, or for
the uses that theee nut -bearing trees are
as shades and shelter to the orops and
enimale, tree planting offers one of the
tee. most profitable investments that an Ontario
farmer oan make. In a few years millions
could be added to the wealth of the
Province in an abundance of satee,ble fruit,
e steadily-inoreasing lumber eupply and
oereal crops through shelter and protection.
To show what an extensive trane is done
in chestnuts in one of the adjoining States,
Connecticut, we quote from en exoteenge,
which says " eheetnuts are plentiful now
in all the markets, and the shipping of the
ante to the big city maria is in trill tide.
The price paid to the pickers for chestnuts
is $2 a •bushel, and it takes fide
pee aii—to make a who]esalter' bushel, so.
the retailers say. Not much care is taken
in sorting the nuts, and worms count
equally with meat in the nuts.' The nuts
aro ebipped in barrels to Boston and New
York, and three bushels make a barrel of
them. They cost the shippers $7.25 a
barrel—$6 for the oheetnnta. 25 Dents for
barrel, $1 for expressage. The amount of
chestnuts ebipped from Hartford daily in
the season averages about fifteen or twenty
barrels. The New York wholesaler gets $8
or $9 a barrel, and the auction price in
the metropolis is about $10: At 10 cents a
pint for roasted ohestnute the consumer
buys at the rate of $6.40 a bushel. In the
country every grocer, and"oven the country,
postmaster, who also Bella groceries, . takes
chestnuts in exchange for meate and gro•
caries." -
Fall is the best reason for transplanting
treee, as farmers are not so driven with
work then es in spring, and taken up_ as,
coon as the leaves are' first touched with
frost, or beginning to be shed from the
branches, the roots will get a considerable
growth before the ground freezes suffi-
ciently deep in winter to prevent this. •

England's Coal Supply.
Who will say that our coal supplies are
giving out ? Mr. Lewis, speaking at the
meeting of the Federated Institution of
Mining Engineers in Nottingham, declared
that if any enterprising ' person were to
obtain permission of the Town Council of
that femme historioal.town to sink a pit
in their market place (we are told, by the
way, that there ie " ample room ") he
would assuredly come down upon the trip
hard seam of coal, end that' at a depth
probably not exceeding three hundred,
yards. Mr. Lewis even tells us that " the
whole thickness of the coal measures "' is
there. This, if literally true, would mean
that at -least for three thousand feet lower
the shaft might go on sinking through
seams 'of coal. For some years poet the
Nottingham coal fields have been more and
more developed ; but Mr. Lewis is of
opiinion that we have as yet " little mare
than touched the fringe " of the' great
Nottinghem coal field. These vast unde-
veloped reeoaroes will be there for dor' nee
as the times require them, or as the smaller
collieries at the outcrop of the coal in

light plant and house -heating appara:'.a.
A gcod eyetem is to have one central
supply -home for each egnare. 1 ha
dwellings are built as usual, with the
exception of the dining -room. They are
built .ew,ay. from the .main structure mint
along a covered aisle , leading from the ct:n-
tral house to the middle of the four ewes
of the square. The dining rooms are orfs
etory structures, and they are oonneoe,dl
with the main dwelling by little arohwatt:.
Thus each family onto itt -its- own- dinrnf
room, but is served` from the comment
sopply.hone'e.
' Experienced hotel men tell us that
three ,servants oan cook for forty familir s.
It would require three more to dietriouta
the meals. The laundry would not neees-
sitate'the employment of more than three
people. The' heating and lighting appar-
atus is attended by a few laborers. Forty
families thne diemiss at leant forty ser.
vents, • and have their work done more
thoroughly and better by a dozen."

e bout Vegetarians.
The vegetarians are without doubt the
worst enemies of vegetarianism. for my-
self, I am a very Small meat -eater. I def
nor doubt that a large number of my fel-
loH•oonntrymen would be both healtht..r
end wealthier Were they to reduce, trehr
butchered bills by, say about 75 perp' oe-ra.
Birt whenever I direct low attention to the
Wale, discussions or ntteranoee of vege.-
teriane I become convinced of tho intimate
connection between abstinence from fl. ds
and weakness of intellect. This drive -e me
back in alarm to my flesh -pot.. So it is
doubtless with many others.—Londoaa
