Many mistakes in fruit growing
are due to planting on unsuitable soils.
Pear trees are practically wasted if put
on sandy or g~ravelly soil without at
tempting to correct its deficiencies. A
rather heavy soil with some clay in it,
and where it will not dry into bricks

If lawns require enriching, it may
be easily done in open weather by

finely pulverized manure, which will

Bees found in a tree belong to the
INC of the tree, and another person
acquires no ownership in them be-
cause of marking the tree. Game found
in snares belongs to the owner of the
land, and not to the trespasser who
may have set the snares. A. warm of
bees, leaving their hive and setting
upon the land of another, are the pro-
perty of the original owner so long as
he can keep them in sight, and thus
establish their identity. Chicago Times.
In some winters mice are abundant,
and when they can get at the bark of
apple and pear trees they will DO great
harm in a short time. Small, com
pact, conical mounds OF earth, beaten
smooth late in autumn. around the
base of each tree, will shut out the
mice. But if the trees have not re-
ceived this care, special attention
should be given whenever there is a
fresh fall of snow, which should be
trodden hard around every tree. This
will keep the mice from theme ere-
