of the pbee pbsb sir last fall in a commnuicati our readers some thoughts were sui with reference to the value of rows greens in single lines it should membered however that if any one can afford the space to plant across tbe north or whichever be the exposed side of his lot a broad belt say one hundred feet or even fifty feet wide of deciduous trees he will obtain shelter much sooner than by the single line of pines or cedars as a consider able depth of branches though bare of leaves4pve much shelter in winter this has been proved by experiment of sieves of wire across gateways and avenues where two or three successive lmesalmost checked air currents while to look at them it would be thought bo obstacle would be opposed to the air by their presence most of the deciduous trees can be obtained jn many parte ouhe country from the undergrowth in such woods as yet remain and if planted thickly on such a space as mentioned will grow very rapidly one helping the other as it is said they should of course be planted far too thickly at first so as short ly to shade the ground when as fast as necessary they can be thinned ont a few evergreens along the edge would greatly aid in shelter in such a belt all kinds of deciduous trees could be planted of course inclines bo as to be allowed cultivation to keep down weeds for a year or two and the profit after a time would probably be greaterthan on any similar acreage in tbe farm for timber alone to say nothing of shelter for where trees are closely grown and cared for they will give numerous straight stems and lew branches besides rapid growth some kinds are valuable when yet small for instance a well known carriage firm at gananoqoe lately wrote to me concerning hickory this could be grown profitably here and can be used from trees of six inches in diameter a farm covered with second growth hick- or from six inches up would be more valu able than some whole townships that are now straggling under crops tours etc
