In Europe. where one might suppose
such question would long ago have
aeen settled. the proper distance to sct
forest trees is still matter of dispute,
If set very close they starve each othel
as the food necessary for one has to be
shared by two; ON the other hand il
trees be set very wide there is too much
tendency to send food into the side
branches and the trunk is low; tall
straight trunk is very essential to good
timber. If tree could be wholly unde,
a pruner's charge SO that any very
stout horizontal branches could be cut
away, and the leader encouraged t.
grow strong and straight, there would
be no question about the solitary tree
having by far the best Of it. But this
sort of manipulation is out of the ques'
ton in large forestry areas. 1t would
not pay. The great object then should
be to plant so closely that side
branches will not be encouraged to
any great extent, and yet not SO close
ly that the trees will starvc or smother

Wild bees in tree belong TO the

but before he has hiyed them his rights
depend simply upon their being upon

are gone. If one finds bees upon ano,h-

h:m no property in the bees nor any
right to the honey; but they belong to
the owner of the soil.

in New York. swarm Of bees went
into a tree on land of the Lennox Iron
Company. Their owner had followed
them and kept them in sight. He
marked the tree. Two months after
warrl man named Golf cut the tree
down, destroyed the bees, and took
the honey. The owner of the bees
sued Goff and recovered damages for
his loss.
In such case the owner of the land
has no more right to claim the bees
than he has right to claim his neigh
bor's cow which has strayed upon his
land, or harness which he finds in
his woods where it was hid by thief
who took it from his neighbor's car
riage-house. But when the owner is
no longer able to show that the bees
went from his hive his property is
gone.
The owner has no right to enter upon
the land of another in pursuit of game.
But it is very ancient law that he may
enter to hunt noxious animals or beasts
of prey, such as wolves and foxes. The
reason given for the rule which allows
such hunting is because it is of public
advantage. Judge Swift. in his digest
of Connecticut law, says: "a person
may justify the following of fox over
the ground of another if there be not
any further injury committed than is
necessary fol, killing the fox; but he will
not be justified in digging him out OF
the ground"
The law allowing the hunting of fox
cs, but fcrbidding any injury to the
land, is to the city kennel clubs, with
hounds and horns, but no foxes, like
the right adjudged to Shylock TO cut
his pound of flesh from off Antonio {

POINTS FROM OUR PON0L0aIsT.

Ed. Register: The Cleveland meet
ing of the Americana Horticultural Socie-
ty last week was success although on
account of many fairs being held
the attendance was not 80 large as usu-
al. The next meeting will be held in
California in February 'sS provided
proper railway rates can be secured.
The show of fruit was good and of
grapes especially. The Allen county
collection ofapples took the first award
and Mississippi state exhibit second. I
wish we could have had a really good
exhibit of the fruit of Allen county in
Guiding grapes, pears &C., to show
what is raised there but the friends had
too much on hands to prepare for sew
eral fairs at once and deserve credit for
wha: they were able to do. President
Earle, of Illinois, presided in his usual
suave and able manner and the elec-
ton Of officers resulted in the same able
corps being selected again. We were
greeted at the hotel Immediately upon
arrival by many old friends none of
whom 1 was more glad to see than my
friend KizO Tamari, of Japan, who has
remained since the New Orleans Expo
sition studying the agriculture and
horticulture of this county. He read
us very plain description Of vegeta-
ble gardening in Japan of which 1
send you copy to use if you like.
The closing picture Of the meeting
was an excursion to the vineyards of
Euclid which is suburb of Cleveland
some ten miles east. We were driven
along that most beautiful of all Amer
ican streets Euclid Avenue and after
calling at the tomb of Garfield, ut
Lakeview Cemetery went on to the
vineyards. Above the little town of Eu-
clid we may stand on the summit of the
hills and see vineyards on every side.
Three thousand acres of grapes at one
sight is rarely seen this side of Oalifor-
mia, and the view is not only interest.

Civilization and especially horticulture
is here at hightide. A dinner was
served to the company of about one
hundred upon the lawn of one of the
grape growers. A band discoursed
sweet music while we endeavored to
test the quality ofcertain viands. After
dinner speeches were in order and to |
happily put toasts responses were made
from North Carolina, Canada and Ja-
pan as well as nearer neighbors.
Thus ended a meeting full of enjoy

seemed to be doing well in the vine

Oar Public School System.


/ Editor OF The PALATKA NEWS:
am not overly much interested in
! politics, for am no politician, but l am
| interested in our public school work. 1t
makes little difference to me whether
! the man who teaches our school is a
! Republican or a Democrat, so that he
has sense enough to keep his politics cut
of the school room. What we want in
this State, and in Putnam county in
particular, is q vigorous school policy,
a policy that has good deal of push
about it. | am confident that we can
have just as good schools here as NAV lie
| found in the North, and with the same
! efforts that are put forth in the North we
can easily excel them in spite of their
wealth and advanced intelligence. Our
climate is certainly conducive TO study,
while the mildness of the weather per
mits the student to devote every hour
spared from sleep and exercise, to study.
At present hundreds are sending their
children North to attend school. while
| if we had vigorous school policy, thou
sands would send their children down
here to educate them.
The school system of Florida is lame,
almost in the extreme, and yet with all
of its defects, we have at keuka as good
a school as may be found in any town of
the same size and age on this continent.
And from what we can learn they have
one just as good at Meanwhile. Putnam
county ought to have scores of Just such
schools. and will have whenever we get
a real vigorous school policy. At pres
ent there does not seem TO be that life
about the large majority of our schools
and our educational workers that there
ought to be. There is not enough of
educational zeal. Every school house
in the county ought to be visited, and
the wants and condition of things care
fully considered.
There are now two men before the
people of tins county, and it is to be
hoped that the one who may be APP
pointed Superintendent of our Public
Schools will give us policy that will
make the schools of Putnam county sec
ond to none in the State. The Superin-
tendent is the man TO do this. \ live,
pushing Superintendent will give Us 2
vigorous school policy. Such man NAV
put life and action into the School Board
as well as into the teachers of our public
schools, but it is the next thing to an
impossibility for live Board to put life
into careless Superintendent.
Since education lies ut the root of all
of florida's success, we ought to give
the more earnest heed 10 its work among
us, and do our utmost - establish good
schools in every part of Putnam county.
If we had good schools in every par: of
our county there would be hardly any
limit 10 the emigration and winter visit
ors. Attention given TO our public
schools IL money in every mans pocket
and a corresponding decrease in our
criminal list. j. II. MOORE.

enthusiasm for Mr.. Gil eeIy, it has not yet
come to the surface around here. Neither
has it for any of their nominees. The
meeting OF Saturday, was fairly attended.
Speeches were made by all the county
candidates, also by Messrs. Judge Wigg
and DR.. Robinson. All talked TO the
point, and were listened to with interest.
Judge Wigg's comparison of the candid
ates we'll put, he knowing them all, and
his excellent opportunities for judging
the different men makes him tit man
for such comparison. Our chairman,
Mr.. G. 5. Packard, conducted the csre-
monies in his usual happy style. and
seems to grow no older.
y Democratic Club was organized at
this place last week. Clark Steph-
ems is President and &. =. Packard Is

Oranges are turning color, and some

reports last winter that the Florida or

hardly see that any damage was done.
The cold had tendency 10 make people
try planting crops, and the result has been
very satisfactory many having raised
good CROPS OF corn, oats, rye, potatoes,
forage, etc. One party here can show
a corn-crib of more than one hundred
bushels, and other crops. All this on
poor pine soil, and with careless cultiya-
ton. The same party has two fine new
mich cows. which give about twenty
quarts per day. They are easily kept on
pasture, give no trouble, and so long as
good pasture holds out. are no expense.
Milk sells for ten cents per quart. a
good cow will soon pay for herself be
sides giving her owner the pleasure of
having what milk Is needed. Let people
make trial, and l venture to say they
will be more than satisfied. These ad-
ditions can be had and the orange in
