ARBORICULTURE 



FOREST LANDS NOT NEEDED 

 FOR FARMS. 



It is a fact which can not be too often 

 emphasized that in this broad Union of 

 ours there is no necessity whatever for 

 taking for ordinary agricultural purposes 

 any land which, for the general weal, 

 had better be left in forest. Good Ian 

 for farms can be had in every State 

 without resort to the destruction of for- 

 ests. — Maxwell's Talisman. 



those wanting information upon forest 

 subjects, the publication of a monthly 

 journal is too much of a drain upon his 

 time and energies, and it has been found 

 expedient to make the periodical bi- 

 monthly.
