76 THE SOUTHEKN PLANTER. [January, SHOULD LET TREES GROW BIGGER. Attention was lately called by Arboriculture to the way farmers rob themselves when they cut down small trees. The writer says that ten years ago he saw in Virginia about thirteen thousand apple barrels held together by hickory hoops, to make which sixty-four thousand young hickory trees had been cut down. The barrel hoops had been sold for about four hundred dollars. If the trees had been allowed to grow they would have been big enough in a few years for cutting up into carriage spokes, and would have produced at the present price of thirty-five dollars a thousand, spokes worth more than eight hundred thousand dollars. This is the kind of forestry argument that ought to appeal to owners of brush lots. BURKE'S GARDEN, VIRGINIA. — Burke's Garden, Virginia, is Southern headquarters for the "Choice Goods." Late reports from the beat Pairs and Live Stock Expositions 0» this continent remind us of the very close ners relationship between their win- and leading members of th«. Burke's Garden herds and flocks of cattle and sheep. This applies with special force to our leaders—Shorthorns and Hampshires. Two of these shows in particular viz.: Kansas City Royal and International at Chicago by setting forth animal excellence year after year, whose quality has been conceded by all foreign judges to be of superlative degree—attract world-wide attention. Anything that even down to gets a place at either, fifth, is given entre to select circles. In fact, only the choicest specimens which succeed in running the blockade of judges at county and State fairs ever get to these final round-ups. At the Royal, the Grand Championship was won by Ruberta's Goods. She is dam of the Sweepstakes cow at Richmond last year viz.: den. Rubertress, from Burke's Gar- This cow—and, by the way, it is quite unusual for a calf to win sweepstakes over a long string or older first-prize winners—claims for sire a $3,500 son of Choice Goods, and half brother to Best Goods, now in use by the Burke's Garden Co. This same line of breeding—viz.: "Choice Goods" —also furnished to the International a Grand Champion in the handsome Junior Yearling, "Scotch GoodB." Among distinguished matrons amongst the red, white and roans, we mention the $2,000 Golden Lassie, mother of Gondomar, first or second yearling at Iowa, Nebraska and other of the largest Western State fairs; of Good Lassie, who topped the Jones sale last June at $980; Imp. Bonnie Bella Roan, by brother to Lavinia, a Virginiabred cow, the first to bring $2,000 this season, and daughters of Grand Champion Nominee. W. B. DOAK.

The ocean roars only where it is shallow. Titania was not the last woman to love a donkey. Reform is a plant that grows well in the sunlight of publicity. If friends are regarded as assets only, we will soon spend them. Red tape is the bandage that keeps a mummified institution together. The gossip deserves credit for choosing some one more interesting than himself to talk about.—Lippincott's. SOME COMMON PHRASES EXPLAINED. "Pity is akin to love." And a mighty poor relation. "Every man has his price." Excepting always those who give themselves away. "A complication of diseases." What a man dies of when the doctors don't know. "Riches have wings." But the millionaires' sons usually open the cage doors. "Ignorance is bliss." It must be, judging from the happy expressions of the majority. "Love laughs at locksmiths." With a milliner, grocer, and ice-man, however, he is usually serious. "Truth is stranger than fiction." Or does it only seem so because we have less chance to get well acquainted with it?—Lippincott's. Botetourt Co., Va., Aug. 24, '07. I am more than pleased with the Southern Planter. It is the best paper that I can find. N. P. SIMMONS. If So, Send Your Orders to TOWLES, Young's Island, S. C.
