The cost of the preparation of the aoil, the labor of planting, and the 2 to 3 
Tears subsequent cultivation, in the form of shelter-belts is no more expensive 
than the ordinary square form of planting, while the shelter belt system of forest 
planting with evergreens on the margins of the belts, will afford protection to the 
inner rows of trees, and ensure a straight growth of timber, easy of access for 
thinning purposes or economic uses and afford shelter, and attractiveness to the 
estate. 
As the different species of trees feed upon plant food constituents of different 
proportions. It IS inanitest that a judicious admixture of trees such as Hickory, 
Walnut, Ash, Maple, Cherry, Pines, Firs, Spruces and Larch, will tend to lessen 
the exhaustion of the fertilizing elements contained in the soil, and thereby en- 
sure a healthy growth of wood, and prolong the life of the lorest to a greater ex- 
tent than would be the result in case the plantation is composed of only one 
Kina 01 a tree.
