ale properly objects to growing
grain crops in orchards, a practice
which is rarely adopted by an intel
ligent orchardist, unless the soil is
unusually rich and the trees very
luxuriant in growth. But the chief
error fallen into is, in making %
general and indexible rule from par
tial observations. In some localities,
the soil Is rich enough to allow
seeding the orchard to grass; while
in others, with a more sterile soil,
clean surface culture is indispensa.

the roots Of a tree extend no fur

as a general rule, established by
many observations, they always
extend quite as far Oh each side as

often, anu especially of orchard
trees, to much greater distance,

THOMAS J. STEWART Is red headeder and

IzAAK WALTON says, 'there be money

getting, and then in anxious care to keep 1t (;
men that are condemned to be rich and then
always busy or discontented tor these poor
rich men we anglers pity them perfectly,

If more Of our people were disciples of the
genial 1zaak it would be far better for the
community and for themselves and the
''quiet art OF angling" with all its apparent
waste of time would develop in us all the
qualities that the American character needs
to balance its feverish energy /. an energy
that Is as often caused by all active sense oil
duty, a desire to make the most of life and
health, as by ambition or al thirst for wealth.
But as in a boat race the winning crew is not
ALWAYS the strongest but often the one that has
acquired the most perfect stroke and has
studied the course with care, learning where
to save strength and where To spend it. So
in life, the man who dies best is not the one
who has worked the hardest, but the man
who has taken time to think, TO plan his
course and look about him and tor this the
fisherman has time.
Ifthere were more fishing clubs there won d
bs more conteuted people and more fish;
for increased popular interest would lead to
increased attention to fish culture by state
and federal governments and at a compare
lively small outlay our brooks might be
stocke with trout and our rivers with bass
and salmon and the rigid enforcement OF
fish laws would keep them full.
Let us all 90 fishing.

THE Philadelphia Press gets quite purple
in the face discussing the rejection OF a claim
by the pension commissioner on the ground
that the woman applying for it " was slave
at the time OF her sons death, was not
dependent upon him for support, aud there
fore could not claim a pension" There
Is no need tor the Press to make
a particular fool of itself over this particular
case. The law as sen. Black administers and
construes it is exactly as it was made by
Republican Congresses, approved by Republic
can presidents and applied by Republican
commissioners since the system went into
operation. The enlargement and liberal eX-
tensions OF it have been made by Democratic
Congresses and no commissioner ever went
further than, or so TAR as Gen. Black in stretch
ing 1t to meet the cases of slave mothers. In
one instance the fact of soldiers son taking
off copper cent strung around his neck and
handing it to his "mammy" rs he left for
the war was accepted as proof that
he was her support. As a matter of
strict law the slave son of slave mother
could not have been her support, and if he
and his property were all under other con-
troll, she could not draw pension without
amendment of the existing law. Nobody
knows this better than the editor of the
Press, whose rawlings are only for partisan
effect
