air is never to dry in the hfMiest' vved'heT

There are always" several distinct strata
inl ine' atmosphere, generally'' moVing in
different1 dfrectidns. 'and 'post'ess,if ,va"
rious degrees of temperature. ''' When'
these strata, fro,m anv cnu?e. are more or
less, mied, .the temperature of .one or
more is lowered, ciouds are, formed, and
if r f . sufficient density, rain falls.

ower portions of the atmosphere , with
the earth.. Tnus mountains, trees, spires.
and ascending columns of smoke, are
sometimes, conducting electricity to 4 jhe
earth and sometimes from jt. The effect
of this. is to facilitate -lhe mixing of the
lower stratum nnd eir in higher regions:
Maby 'meteorologists., believe that .'nb-
."traciing: ele ctrictty from the air lessens
its capacity for moisture, and that clouds
and rain are thus formed. I3e this as it

the weather, are'well known facts." V
Large conflagration?, and great battles
are a!mo' invariably followed by rain.
Countries, once partially covered by for
ests, and remarkable for fertility, after
being detruded, have become deserts.
Thus the Cape diVerde Islands so nim;
ed from their greenness," have been strip
ped of ' their uresis-bv their improvident
inhabitants, since which time they suffer
terribly, frpdi .periodic dioughts, some
times no rain falling for three yars at a
time, and 30 000 fob ah hints one-third
of the pupulaiiin have, perished.?; Thus

It would seem unnecessary in this prai

until they fully awoke to the importance
of speedy, and continued action in this
matter. There is no crop, that will pay
half so well in the lonrr run as Tree- !
Every tree that is planted not only in
creases the value of the farm upon which
it grows, but is of more or less benefit,
to every individual in that community, .
We know of farmers in this county, by'
spending two or three days six and seven
years ago. in planting young Cottonwood's,
whose! farms' are thereby ncreised in
'market value, from ' five hundred to one
thousand dollars.
It was par: of the creed of. Zoroaster.
a Persian j'hilosopner and tounder ot one
'of the purest forms of reTi'gion of any of
the heathen nations thpt no able bodied
man could be a saint unless ,he had, a
mong other thicgs, been the father Of
at. least one child, and planted at eat
one tree.. . Jt.. would be . a great btjnefK

stitrousi notion, oonp;e!led ; every tnaa to
plant and protect a hundred tree3.-. " :
,e are glad.-however, to notice thai
farmers are paying more and tnore.ar-t
tentioa-evory year to planting.; not only
various kinds of fruit. trees, but ornamen
tal and. forest trees. Many are trim
ming up and thinning out the young lim
ber that hasgrown spontaneously upon
the -bluffs and along the streams, thus en
abling the trqes that remain to grow as
much in one yar as heretofore in three.
Every yecr thousands of youcg ccttoV.
wocds are taken from. the sandbars on
the Missouri, and planted on the prairie.
TJuL few now take a. homestead er cpen
up;a new far.m, .without as socn as pas
sible planting, a well selected orchard.
We believe when orchards, hedges, and
timber of vanouskinds, -are planted cn
the plains back one or two hundred miles
frum the Missouri river, the climate' v. ill
be materially modified; there will be less
danger 0: drought or wet tveatner, the
winters will be warmer, and the sum-
r.ieis not so extremely hot, and people
will forget that they ever complained of
this country being windy. If there is
any portion of ihe country between the
Missouri and' the-mountains,1 formerly
known as -the great American Desert;
that is sterile or unproductive, it will all
be ' reclainied when" the plains 'become
checkered with orchards and trees, 'unless
it ts a few ". incrnsiderable streaks of
sand; : ;

Custom House figures, were of raw wool,

of manufactured wool S10.019 014 ; . for
the second quarter, raw wool 8,512.021

336 pounds of raw wool, and of manufac

Tads jt rvill.be seen by reference to last
