FOR BICYCLE-RIDERS.

The mere fact that a dozen or twenty
wheemcn are off together for days run
does not give them the right to take pos
session of any country hotel .hey may stop
a for dinner; nor does it give them the
right to take possession Of the road along
which they are riding; nor the right to
become noisy and troublesome to the people
whom they may meet, either on the road
Or where they stop. There have been so
many instances of late in the vicinity of
large cities where IA dozen young men,
individually well bred and gentlemanly,
have made themselves so disagrecable, that
hotels and stopping-places have been obliged
to make certain rules such as preventing
the wheelmen from coming into the dining
room in bicycle costume, or from sitting in
the public rooms except perhaps the cafe;
for the woprietors have found that the
civilian costume they again realize their
responsibility as individuals to the COM
munity, and that while they remain in
their bicycle costume they seem to think
they have 10 responsibility Whatsoever.
This sort of behavior does more harm to
the bicycling fraternity than can be we'll
estimated. \ few men going to a place
and making themselves obnoxious TO all
there will spoil that particular house for
bicyclsts for many day to come. The
other are treated like intruders. Each one
is Stunned by people for fear he is another
of the gang, Regulations such as the above
are posted up in plain view, masking him,
so to speak, restricted person; and in gen

simply from this lack Of responsibility on
the part of a few who have preceded them

Walnut trees require about 20 years be-
fore they can be considered ready for use in

gone into the business of growing walnut
trees is to plant the trees about 30 feet
apart, gradually cutting out alternate trees
as they reach the proper stage of growth.
They are of slow growth, and time is re
qui:ed before returns can be secured, but
