THERE is one action ii, which the REC.

THERE is one action in which the REC.
ORD thinks the recent county convention
made a mistake. We refer to the choos-
ing of commissioners in the men
chosen, bllt in the precedent established
for the manner of their choosing. We
are of opinion that the selection of a
commissioner should be left to the people
of each district, and for this reason: Por-
tions of certain school townships are in
different commissioners districts. If ev-
cry member OF the delegation of five from
a school township were qualified to vote
on candidates for a certain commission.
trsllip, all would be well. But under the
present method such is not the case for,
when delegates from. y township attend d
convention, itnay he That all of them re-
side in one commissioner district Where
sthis happens, thai portion of the school
township in another district has no finger
in the pie. For instance, Cherry Grove
School Township is. part in Gayton's dis
trict and part in Yeater's. If the dele
gates present from that township at u

Hoav to Plant Trees. !

A correspondent of an exchangeSwritcs
as follows pass to another point. We
have selected our trees They are before
u.s. They consist of roots, stems and
tops. The roots are to 60 into the ground
and represent the chances of plant life.
Other things being equal then, tile more
and better the roots and the smaller the
amount of tops, the more certain the
trees are to grow when set out.
My first tree experiment iu Kansas was
the transportation and planting out Of
10000 ycarling apple trees. They were
bundled in flfties and the tops chopped
off like hedge plants. They were. set
with the stump even with the sur
face of the soil. They all grew.
And, besides that, we saved two-thirds Of
the freight bill-a clear case of cheating
the railroads. But, says one, you have
lost three feet of growth. In theory we
have-in practice We have not. Such
plants make clean, healthy growth OF
from two to four feet the first summer.
Yearling apple trees with whole tops do
pretty we'll if they hold their own and
grow from two to ten inches And ut the
end of the second summer the cut-back
plants have caught up, and are by far the
cleaner and better-looking trees
| But there is one point that must be
attended to. The cut-back plants will
start with a cluster of sprouts. All but
the best must be rubbed off early in the
summer-say the last of May or the first
! of June. Everything depends on this.
1 Without it the plan is an utter failure.

The I'rnirie-Bu17.iNg Idiot.


During the past week those elements of
destruction resultant in most cases from a
combination of idiocy and malicc-praire
tires, we mean--have been seen burning
brightly, although some miles distant, on
three sides Of Williamsport-east north,
and south. The one nearest town, appar-
emily about dozen miles away, was
burning tiercely,, and rapidly travelling
toward the north. It was hoped that this
season would witness an abatement of
the prairic-burning nuisance but no
sooner is the grass dry enough to burn
than the fire. hends are at their work
Not more than one case in fifty of
prairie burning is the result Of an un-
avoidable cause. In most instances the
fire is set from u childish desire 40 see it
burn, while in others it results from lack
OF care in burning re-breaks."' When
one sets fire to the prairie he not only vio-
lates territorial law and renders himself
liable to fine and for damages, but, by
sacrificing the pasturage and endangering
hay and straw stacks he affects adversely
the general prosperity of the whole
county, and possibly of adjoining coun-
ties. Last year many of the fires were
set by seekers after osseous relics of the
departed bison but, as buffalo bones are
mostly a thing Of the past in this region,
it would seem that no possible pretext now
exists for incendiarism. The Board of
County Commissioners is unit in the de,
sire to punish infractions of the statutes
governing this matter, and it rests with
citizens to see that incendiaries are
promptly Informed against and arrested
The penalty is $100, half Of which on
conviction goes to the informer. No false
delicacy should be felt in bringing tt
justice this detestable class of s-offend
ers. The man who fires your pasture OF
burns your hay-stack is as much deserving
of punishment as he who applies the torcl
to your house or stable.
