The ever-increasing scarcity and cast of firewood sad coal has turned many land-owners' attention to the feasibility of growing their own supplies. Newly every farm has a certain amount of poor land. _ A good idea'is to plant this up with pinus insignis. The trees .grow rapidly, and can be iised for firewood about tho sixth year. The wo«(d, if kept dry, makes .splendid firewood, and burns brightly without sparks. If ]000 trees to' the acre are planted, starting «.t the sixth year these may bo thinned down to 100 to the acre by the twentieth year, and you "will still Piave an asset worth .-€2OO per acre for timber.
