TREE PLANTING. ANOTHER LETTER FROM GENERAL BRI8BIN UPON ARBORICULTURE. FROM OUR OWN ODBBE8POHD1WTB.J Omaha, uly 6. -The extensive reading given my letter on "forest Saving," published In The World recently, encourages me to write ooMthinc on "Forest Growing." It is not so difficult as many people imagine to grow forest Umber. The lack of correct information on this subject is, I believe, to a great extent the reason why so little timber is planted. If far mats only knew how to plant and when aod what to put out, many of them, I believe, would raise trees. S " will be ready for another grow more rapidly tti alliums should be tut thin laver of the earth. Side-hille THE ABH. i The ash is one of the very best trees for for eel culture. It srrowB rapidly, is easily raised and ofsrreat money value. Mr. Holleubeck. of Nebraska, has, in Douglas county, a piece of ah timber be planted in IsOl, and many of the trees now measure 36' inches is circumference and are over 30 feetjiigh. Mr.Budd. ofluwa, has a grove that has done still belter. He says ten acres, thinned to 6 feet apart, contained lr 000 treee. and at twelve years ol age were 8 inches in diameter and 3o feet high, the wood frees thinning paid all expensesof planting and cultivation. The bodies of. the trees cut out sold for 40 cents each and the tops were worth Sen cents more. Ten acres of this timber, twelve yean old, was estimated to be worth $6,OoO. Young ash, if cut low at eight fears of age and a light furrow turned over the stumps, will sprout and be ready for a second cutting in eight years. Mr. Budd says ten seres of black ash planted for hoop poles in rows four fret apart, may be half-trimmed in five years, and at 3 eents'per pole will yield SI ,020. The remaining half, or 54,000 poles, cut two years later for large hoop poles, at 6 ceuts per pole will yield $4,300. The ash seed should be sown In the fall in rows, two feet apart and covered with one inch of earth. In winter scatter a lit ter of straw three inches deep over the ground. The straw should be renewed early in the spring. - The plants will grow assoon as the frost is gone and be twelve to fourteen inches high by fail This will make an admirable nursery, from which the trees should be transplanted when one year old and set out in the forest ground lour feet apart. Work the ground the same as for corn and keep the weeds down. The closer the trees are planted the straighter they will grow and be free from lower limbs. THE WALNUT. land are best for chestnut cultivation, lhe great difficulty in growing this tree is to get it started properly. Care must be taken to keep the seed from rotting or molding. The seed should be jkept during the winter in sand damp ened and placed in a cool cellar. In the spring plant the chestnuts in rows three feet apart, and dmi.ahc nuts, like potatoes, six inches apart, covering them with on! v half an inch of soil. In the fall, before frost, cover the young plants with a litter of straw six inches deep. They should be transplanted when one year. old. This tree has always been considered bard to raise, bnt it has been becanse it was net under stood. Treated in the way I have described, twelve chestnuts will raise eleven trees. The s wakening inteerat among all r h ,-nmmnnitv about tree-growing is most encouraging to the friends of forest cul- and rocky tnre.

It grows admirably in rocky ground, and thrives best in land with a yellow subsoil. To prepare the land, furrow out as if for corn and drop the walnuts one in a uul, tour feet apart. Cover lightly with a hoe or plough. The seed should be planted soon after it falls from the tree, and 1 1 . -I - -. .1.1 .

Seed is also good dropped in rebiuary and covered in the spring. The frost cracks the walnut-shell and the sprout will start out soon alter being covered in April or Mav Forty seres of walniu timber will yield the far mer in ten years more than if the land is plan tad every season in grain, The trees will grow me nrsi year ten or twelve inches, the second thirty ana the third year, four to five feet. The rat and second yar the ground mav be plan ted between the rows with potatoes or corn and it will not hurt the young trees, walnut striking a deep root and drawing its sustenance from the subsoil. To make the trees bear nuts early dig under and cut the tap-root. Fruit trees that do not bear may also be made to bear by cutting their main or top roots. Mr. Hollenbeck has a grove of forty acres of walnut planted in 1865 and the tress average 22 inches in circumference and are 25 feet high. Many of them bore nuts four years after planting and six years from planting thrtrees had a peck of nuts esch. Three bushels of walnuts with the hulls on will plant an acre four feet apart, or one snd three quarter bushels hulled will plant the same amount ullaud. BCOAR-MArr.K. Mr. Plntey, an experienced tree grower, rays an acre of sugar maples at twenty-five years of age will average one loot in diameter and pro duced 2,000 pounds of sugar annually. When the trees measure twenty inches they will give 60,000 feet of lumber worth $2,500, besides a great deal oj fuel. A peculiarity of thit tree is its body hiaeases in size faster than the top. It can therefore be planted very closely. Two hundred trees will grow on an acre. Maple seeds ripens in October and should be planted in rows the same as ash, but not so thickly. Af ter planting allow the tree to stand two years in the nursery. nod then transplant to ground where it is to grow permanently. a SOFT MAPLE. BIRCH. Of this tree there are two kinds the white or European birch and the American canoe birch. The latter is connected with the legends of our Indians, and is emphatically a tree of romance and poetry. The birclien rod, loo, has had much to do with our public schools, aud most of our great men have been soundly thrashed with it when boys. Both European aud American birch grow to large size in north ern latitudes. When planted thickly the young birch grows up very straight aud graceful. W ho of us when farmer boys have not cut a birchen rod for our line and with raised the speckled beauties from their native stream ? Kirch makes excellent fuel and is valuable for cabinet work. In northern MitchL'an the canoe-birch grows to a height of seventy feet Its bark is white and the tree highly ornamen tal. Seed can alwavs be obtained in Y ineonsin The seed-bed should be light, sandy loam, and the seed should be covered bnt lightly and well sheltered from the sun until the plants are two or three inches high. HICKORY. This emblematic tree of America are repre sentative of the character of one of our greatest men will always be a favorite with the people. not only on account of its history but its valna ble nut-bearing qualities and its wood. The shellbark is the best for planting, either for wood or fruit. If planted for nuts it should he kept in the nursery until two or three years old, and then transplanted. To make it bear early, dig under and cut the tap-root as close to the surface as possible, ror timber and rapid growth in transplanting, dig the holes deep and we the tap-root is put m perfectly straight lhe nuts should be dropped four teet apart each way, and if planted in ground where the trees are to remain the plants should be thinned so as to keep the branches from touching. THE OAK. The soft maple in its wild state, an uncouth and scraggy tree when grown closely in a cul tivated gve, is much improved in appearance and a moatuneful trees, 1 have seen numerous patches well shaped, and eight and ten feet night at three and four years of age. In Non- oma county, Iowa, maple trees, seven years old from the seed, were large euough to make three ten foot rails, and an acre yielded 3,000 rails. This timber is always in great demand for man ufacturing purposes. It beats the walnut three years in a nrpwth of ten vears. The seeds rinn in June, and should be sown in mellow ground! as soon as, uiey tali, rlant one and a half inches deep with drills, in rows twenty inches apart. They wiU come up in six daya. Keep the weeds out uutil the plants get a good start The first year they will grow eighteen or twen ty inche. They should be transplanted the next spring and set out 2.700 to the acre. They will grow four to live feet the second year. A aoft maple planted io-4801 is now forty-three inches in circumference four feet from the . SH'ifti The white elm is a tine forest tree, nnd the demand for this wood is every year increasing s the old stock' disappears. Plough-handles, cheese-boxes, chairs and many manufactured articles are mad from this wood. A field o white elms planted in Nebraska has done re markably well. An avenue of these trees are unsurpassed for road shade. The growth is rapid; they have finely-shaped heads, and are not easily damaged by insects or winds Two elms near Omaha, planted in 18o9, now meas ure thirty-four snd thirty-six inclus in circum ference four feet from the ground. Some tall growing toe may be planted without them and cut away at the end of ten years. Elms sbjuuld he set out eight feet apart. (RED ELM is the brother of the white elm. but it inhabits higher and drver ground. As a shade tree it Is splendid nna grows rapidly. The wood is used for carriage, and alsomakeMexcellent fuel. 3ee of this kind, planted in 1861, erew to be twelve incite iu diameter in ten years. They are often, however, attached, by insects that burrow under .the bark for the sweet sap. " w HONEY LOCUST is an admirable hedge plant and a tree of great value. On the river bottoms of Illinois honev locosts are found 80 to KM) feet hitch and 4 feot thick. Dr Warder, of Ohio, thinks this tree is very valuable on account of its rapid growth. Us sold one acre of locust fifteen years old for $1,000. The wood is much used for paving streets. gAPftist in Omaha, planted twelve years ago, measured 81 inches 4 feet from the k round, and i So feet htxh. The t hornless lo cust is best for forest and the thorny variety for bedgesnoji.' ) )a "U- CHWTWCT. A beanU&ul tree and a favorite with nearly rery one.

It can readi ly be rawed Irom the seed, which should be gathered in the fall, after the acorns drop. The best month to gather seed is October, and it should be planted at once, or kept in a cool, moist condition until spring. The plants should be set out about eight feet apart, and between the rows some upright growing tree can be planted as nurses for the oad. These latter should he cut awiv wheneverit is neeesssrv to make room for the oak. Burr oak aud chest nut oak are best for fuel and red oak the best for rails. THE COTTONWOOD. Thid wonderful tree commends itself to all the Western beginners on account of its rapid growth ana easy culture. It will grow almost anywhere, and never dies. It has held its own in the West against fire, and even defies the axe of the woodman. If one is cut down, an other springs up from the stump. I have often wondered why this tree, so tenacious of life and easily grown, has not been planted in the East It would grow, 1 believe, in almost any of the Eastern States, and as the shade-three for cat tle is unsurpassed. The young cutiugs are readily obtained from Western nurserymen and cost but a trifle. The Cottonwood fiirniahes better shelter and fuel in a shorter time than any other tree in America. There are cotton woods growing near Omaha thirteen years old that measures 22 inches in diameter and 40 feet high. A thousand of these trees can be grown on an acre. Mr. Allen recently told me he had seen several acres of cot tonwoods which grow several feet in one year from the cuttings. As write I look out upon a Cottonwood that was planted in low, then no thicker tlian my thumb and as high as a man's head, and now as thick as a man's body and over thirty feet high. It has in fact become an imposing tree in six year. The Romans made some advancement ia names, and gave to their commonwealth a division into clans or gentes. . Tbe gentes were then divided into families, into individuals, each of whom had three names; tbe prenomKn, or first name, which marked the individual; the nomn, middle name, which marked the gens, and tbe cognomen, tbe family. Military sue cesses added hu agnomen, in honor o conquest. The ninth day after the childs I birth was celebrated by name and a feast which tbe Romans called Nominalia. The Greeks used the tenth day, and offered sacrifice to their gnds. Pytha goras noted the success of men according to fat, gemns, name. JPluto an 1 Tacitus also believed in a prosperous name. Our surnames are modern. The Pagan , -. a ' a a . i t converts to IJlinsiiatiity dropped their Pagan names, and whole companies of Marys, Marthas, Johns and Peters were baptised al ouce. From this we can read llv see the confusion of generality when one particular John felt a very particular preference for his particular lady love, M-iry , aud called to see her at the house of many other Marys, lhe distinction necessary was found in a nickname sug gested by tbe occupation of the individ ual. For several centnries little is known about surnames. Some date their origin from tbe Norman conquest a plausibility lo american aristocrats, who seem satisfied if their etock and "family" eoes as far buck as William the conqueror, or even a taint a id discolor of "blood" be traced in ihat Fiiglieh channel which William crossed Camdem dates surnames in France A. D. 100Q. in Endatid, 1065, a Utile before Edward the confessor. In Wales surnames were used sometimes after that Surname if from the French Surnom, aod Lajtin, super, because at first tbe surname was written over the given name. The eaxons made their surnames bv adding "ing" to their father' name, as Whiting, Browning, also from some place of residence, occupation hence, Lee. Moore, Hill, Weaver, Cooper, etc. In the eleveuih century ih Normans began to transmit the sur .a me to deceodants, aud use the prefix Fits, which is a corruption of fils, for sons: hence, Fiiz James 'son oi WW mav be fonnd a fall assortment of Pure Drugs, Medicines, Dye StnSi, Fine Hand kerchief Extract, Foreign A Domestic Col- ognes, Soap, Hair, Tooth A uaii nrusnes, Havana A American Cigars.

I wotikl like to write a good deal about the willow, but the length of thix communication warns me to be brief. The white willow is the most valuable ol this variety. As awimt-hruak it can be grown rapidly, and for protection ol farms from hot aud cold winds, sun, rain, sleet and snaw, the willow cannot be over-rated. When planted singly it attains a growth of aeveiity to eighty feet in height with an im mense trunk, but iu value is most realized when planted in rows as road-shade. What is pret tier than an avenue of giant white willows with their grateful sltade and long, graceful branches? 1 know of several miles of wiilow wind-breaks which are five years od f-om the cuttings, and form a pertect wmd-break lo feet high. A I farmer in Douglas County, Neb., has four miles of willows, two years old, and nt four vears of age they are a eomp'ete protection from storms and inroui s of stock. Willow cuttings are best made in the fall, and should be tied in bundles and buried in a dry place under a foot of earth.

With orooer care in planting an I keeping down the weeds not over o pejr cent, of the plants will he lost ; yet this i considered one of the hard trees to raise. A belt of willows planted along the side of ahor chard near Nebraska City sheltered it from frost. A severe frost had occurred a few days before tny informant Saw the belt of wil lows, damaging the fruit blossoms greatly, and along the side where the willows were growing uiieeii 10 iwemy leei uigu iew peaeues were killed while on tbe north side where there were no wi 11 lows, the peaches were ojuii i.uii.ie. ine reason 01 tins was that when the snn had its full power the tenipertture rose to such an extent that as soon as the cold air ot evening, peculiar (o Northern i.inuaie-, net in, mai locality was nrst to lee I its eflects and suffer most from frost. I should like to notice some other varieties of trees, but have already written more than I intended, and for fear of wearing thereader will now close my letter. There is no secret about forest cnl tliro. Any man who can raise potatoes and corn can raise trees, if he will only take the ton ble to plant and. cultivate them a little We have got to come to the forest planting some time, and the sooner we begin the better. the land has been robbed of its noble woods. ) at . 1 1 ft A anu uiey can omy oe replaced by forest culture 11 is voi aner an so uimcult to replace them bnt wa should begin at once.
