APRIL hath 30 days.

[1888.

The children with the streamlets sing,

When April stops at last her weeping,

And every happy, growing thing

Laughs like a babe just roused from sleeping.

Farmer's Calendar.

ARBOR DAY seems to have
come to stay, and so we might as
well make the best of it. If I
could have my way I think I
should fix it in the fall, when
there seems to be more time to
'tend to it, but better have it now
than not at all. Set out trees

then, and line the sides of the
road and the village streets with
the graceful elm, the maple, the
beech, the birch, or the linden.
They are sure to add to the money
value of every farm and every
house on the road. They will be
growing while you sleep, and age
only gives them greater grace and
beauty and value. The great
secret of success in tree planting
is to keep the roots from the sun.
If you have to buy them at the
nursery it will pay to get the best,
and to give them the best of care.
A thrifty tree is a thing of
beauty, and that, they say, is a

Westerly joy forever. Start the plough as

soon as the land is fit for it. We
do not, as a rule, work our lands
often enough or deep enough.
The fineness of the soil has about
as much to do with plant growth
as a coat of manure. It is a good
plan to be up early and look
after the chores. Seed time comes
but once a year. Make the most
of it.
