A few days since We listened to a coaver-
saiiOu between two ofour most progressive
farmers on the merits of lime as a fertilizer
Both agreed that repeated experiments have
demonstrated that lime Is the best fertilizer
that can be used on Somerset county soil,
Notwithstanding the claims set up by emf
nent gentlemen from other sections OF the
state who have addressed our local Farm
ers Institute and insisted that lime con-
tSiEs little if any fertility. TINS question
might properly be brought up al the coming
meeting Of the State Board Of Agriculture,
when the farms Of Messrs. Kooniz, Cupp
and Bserits-all within two miles Of S0mer-
set-coald be pointed out Is examples OF
what lime VIII do for impoverished soil. The
farms referred to are models to-day, where
as ten years ago, they were almost eatirely
unproductiye.

Not Private streams.

Streams stocked With fish procured from
the State fish commissioners are not pr
vste, snd sli streams are public according
TO decision Of Judge S;errsi, ofthe Supreme
Conrt, unless the fish are propagated. Tie
decision is a most important one to anglers
In the first place the spaSn must be kept
separate, then the smIll fish are put into
another screen cell, and 80 on until theT are
large enough to take care Of themselves.
Esen then they are ID be kept in larger
screen cell ifihe party who raises them
wants to own ihsm. 0aly % much OF that
stream : private as Is within the screens
placed there by the owner.
The csss in question was Benscoter vs..
Long, Luzerne comfy. A continuous
stream divided the land Of these men. The
plaintiff pat a lot Of small trout into the
stream, and when they became large enough
the defendant fshed them out Suit was
brought, and the plaintiff said il was private
stream, as the dividing line ran more than
half way across the stream. Il was shown
that the plaintiff did not propagate the fish,
bat merely put them into the stream to g,t
along as best they could. No stream Is pri-
vate unless the propagation is carried on as
previously stated A pond surrounded BY
the owners land, without sny continuous
flow, can be called a private pond.
Judge Sterret, in the syllabus Of the case.
says: fifth waters Of pond cover large
surface oflsnd, and a person whose lands
are covered only by part of the water
places fish therein for the purpose of propa-
CATION. the pond does not thereby become a
private pond, within the meaning Of the &C
of June 3. ISIS. Neither is notice that all
persons are hereby notified not 70 trespass
on these lands or fish in this pond. under
penalty Of the Law, a sufficient notice under
the act of June 3, 1873. either to strangers or
to nighbOrs-"
He continues thus The mere placing Of
fish in pond, without any improTemea:
whatever, for the propagation Of fish or =
game fish. Is insufficient to place the pond
within the protection Of the act Of June 3,
ISIS.
