ber for shipbuildini,' is'niwii from seed on my 

 grounds. I liave been planting forest trees 

 of all kinds for forty-two years and can now 

 cut 100 cords of wood from trees planted by 

 myself without missing tlie trees. If farm- 

 ers would only plant the waste places, hill- 

 sides, roadsides, etc., of their farms, they 

 would in a few years have an ample supply of 

 firewood and timber. I shall be happy at all 

 times to show eiKpiirers how to plant, what to 

 plant, and where to plant. Respectfully,
