The high price of ail kindi of timber
. ia Nebraska should cause farmers to
turn their intention more particularly to
rai:n!j it, and not always be compelled
to purchase at a high pricii every fence
post and every stick cf wood thty teed,
. .The lowett price for fenca posts this
winter is 10 per 100 in the tree. An
acre of locusts set 8 feet apart each
way would give 650 tries. Supposniga
locust tree would grow to 10 inches in
diameter in 10 years, and high enough
to cut three lengths of posts, two lengths
of which could be split, and make tno
, . ,i i r . .
posts each, it would make five ports to
eacn tree, ami at iu cents apiece wou.u
make each tree worth half a dollar, and
6S0 trees would be S310 an acre, cr
S34 a year for ten years, which is more
than any farmer expects to make from
an acre by any grain crop he can raise.
Cottonwood grows much faster than lo
cust, and ccttonwood railroad tia3 are
worth SI, 00 apiece. Iu a conversation
with a citizen of Douglass county he
trade the remark that an acre of cotton
wood, like seme he set ten years ago,
was worth SI, 000. They were set S
; feet apart, and are over a foot iii diam
eter, and one railroad tie couhl be cut
from the butt of each tree, which .-would
make 680,00 for ihe ties, and then
there would be not less than S) cords
of wood besides, which, at Si per cord
.would le'6320,00, makitg n total of
1,000 Rn acre.
The above calculation will look tco
large to any one who has not seen trees
growing on our prairie.', and probably
they will not grow so large in so short
a time ia tvery Lcauon. If 6100,00
" worth of timber can be raised on an
acre in ten years it is more prcfuab'e
than raising corn and wheat.
If every fanner i:i Nebraska wou'd
ee: o'Jt ten acres cf timber in the spring
they would have enough i:i ten years to
. lktep themselves in wood, fence -poits,
etc. Phcer.ix, of Illincis, says if he
wa3 young again he would &tt out pine
f jr saw logs, lie Las set cut a large
nmouLt of timber cf 'd liferent kinds,
and tries to tLcourage others to do the
; same. ) . .

transplanting: trees of uiiTerent kinds
will benefit others by giving it in the
Agricultural Department of the IIeu

Mutton is the beat meat we can eat

though the very eccnomicil mut-.on oi
the Leicesters, Cotswold?, and other
long wool sheep.. When we say mut
ton 13 the mot delicious of domestic
meats, we have the flesh of the middle
wools in mind that is, of South-downs , '
far excillcncc, and Cheviots, tlamshire
downs, Shropshire-downs, and o.heraof
their kindred in a less degrea. M uton
is made more economically, and is used
up more advantageoully, than pork cr
beef. A farmer can seldom have fresh
. ,
beef unless he has so large a number
of hands that they can consume a quar-
ter before it will spoil. More grain is
required to make a pound of pork than
a rjotind of mutton. It is more heakh.
ful food than pork; fat mutton will keep
longer, and a family of ordinary sue
can dispose of a small sheep before the
mutton will spoil, even in quite warm
weather. Eisides, if a farmer is on
friendly terms with his neighbors, he
caneasi'y sell, or lend one ortwoquar-
ters, . By a system cf exchanging fresh
'mats. several inmAtes mar be f or tdied
with that of most excellent quality at all
8ea-onsof the year, at a very cheap rate.
Mutwn'is more nctritious and will eonse
I J z
than pork; people of studious habits,
aud children in particular, v. iii feel bet-
ter, accomplish more, and be more
healthy when they eat mutton than if
they eat much perk, or even beef.
Convenience is an important coiuid-
era'.ion at all time?, on the farm or
elsewhere. When fresh mutton is want-
ed, one man ' enn dress a sheep or iieaxb
in a few minutes; while much longer
time is required to butcher a beef cr a
toj. Nothing i Ion iu making mutton
and i. cots comparatively nothing.
The wool will u.-uaHy cover all ihe cost
Uan Hnrinir rsnr nnil nf ! P ri that CI i '

fattening too. Taking this view, which
a fair one, no one can fail to perceive
that mutton is the cheapest meat ' that
can be raised. Small families can sa.t
and dry one or both bind quarters, or
cook a quarter and cat it cold. Aquar-
ter of Iamb after it has been cooked,
may be kept ten or twelve days, and
still be 'good. Farmers jhou'd learn to
prepare their own meat, anil not sell
their animals to the butchers, who sell
them the meats for their own tables at
exorbitant prices. Furthermore, a
great many' people who have cn!y a
garden cr small farm, can cften fatten
a.few sheep during the winter, and thus
have better meat, at a much cheaper
ratg .f ihey purchased jt..OT.
