Crops For the Orchard.

When the orchard is young and the
soil is rich it will generally pay to
grow-either corn or xegetab bles for$ the
years during which I the: trees arc
reaching the stage Of fruit bearing.
Corn is one of the best crops to grow.
for the reason that much Of its sub
stance is made up Of starch, which is
taken from the air. Then it requires
cultivation and is generally lnanured.
especially when it Is grown in a small
way. It does not form a mat to keep
the moisture from the roots of the
trees. It has the additional goou
quality Of :. being largely grown, and.
no matter how large@the orchard, the
corn crop can always be used to ad:
vantage. Then the stalks of the corn
plant are serviceable for binding
around the trees for protection
against rodents and sunscald. In the
case of growing corn the rows should
not be run too close to the trees, as
it is undesirable TO draw the fertility
from Immediately around the trees,
and it is also undesirable to cult.
vate close. In this day OF low head.
ing or fruit trees it will be difficult
to drive very close to the trees with
out injuring the low dropping
branches. .-"-'.
Potatoes and tomatoes are two
classes of vegetables that may be
grown in the orchard to advantage,
as both require to be clean ,culti-
waited, and usually receive good appli-
cations of manure in some, form.
Frequently the growing Of these
crops pays all the expenses of
keeping up the orchard, and when the
latter comes into bearing it starts in
without being a debtor to the man
that owns it. Nothing, however,
should be done or grown that will in
any way injure the future usefulness
of the orchard-National Fruit Grow.

CHANGING OUR FOOD. ;.
Results Of Modern Eating Show Us to BE
- q Stronger Race.

" The other day, at meeting OF the
life insurance experts of New York.
we were told that the span of life in
America is growing longer, that the
average. American Of to-day lives to
be about five years older than the
American Of ffty.. years ago. That is.
we have been gaining year In every
ten. Statistics also show that the
race is producing larger, stronger, finer
men and. women. We are t:t1ler, weigh
. moiss do more work than our grand:
fathers. :-.- f>: = .~ .fa'
Why? Many influences are, of
course, at work in producing these Ill
tercsting chauges; advanced medical
.sciepce 5las specifically cenqueted the
conta gious diseases and has, largely de-
creased. infant mortality; improved
sanitary and hygenic science has
saved the lives Of thousands Of city
dwellers; but. after all, no single in
fueace is so important to the welfare
Of. our physical being as the food we
take into our bodies. LAS the coal is,
so is the engine"
No study, then, could be more inter-
esting and important, as bearing on
this question, than All investigation of
the changes in our food fashions. Do
we eat the same things that our grand
fathers did? If not, what is the trend
Of our diet-toward the food Of the
vegetarian, which includes the much
advertised modern food; products, the
cereals" or toward the old diet of the
meat-eater?
Upon this point tie last census gives
Us striking and conclusive information.
It shows, indeed the most eztraor-
dinary changes in our diet, and
changes that point to: SINGLE con-
sistent tendency.
In short, we are becoming more and
more 4 nation of yesctarians.
III the matter Of mutton, for in
stance, every 100 Americans in 1850
consumed ninety-tour sheep, nearly
sheep to each man, woman and child;
in 1900 the consumption had been re-
duced to fifty sheep to every 100 per-
sons-a reduction Of almost half. More
remarkable still has been our turning
from pork: us hogs 10 every 100 per-
sons in 1SJ0-more than one hog for
each man, woman and child-to forty
three hogs in 1900. We are still large
eater of beef, however, though here,
too, there is reduction Of twenty per
cent, from twenty-five 5eeyes to 1cO
persons in 1850, to, twenty beeves in
1900.
But what Of milk, butter, cheese,
eggs and poultry, which must be coll
sidered as meat foods in contradistinc-
ton to those which are strictly yege-
tartan? Here, too, though the statis-
tics do not cover the whole period of
fifty years, we find interesting changes;
mostly large increases. For example:
In 1880 the supply Of eggs was 92O
dozen for each 100 persons, and in
1900 it reached 100 dozen. In the
same period the supply Of dairy prod
ucts increased by more than threeTold.
The only dairy product showing a
decrease is cheese. Fifty years ago
each: person ate four and one-half
pounds annually; in 1909 the amount
had dropped to oae-half pound. \
Reducing all these various meat prod
ucts to a common denonlination-dol-
lars and cents-we find that our meat
6iet as a nation has decreased in fifty
years by about thirty-s;x per cent

NO Fauit OF Hailroao When tt0 En-
pIoyes Go Out on Run Fatisusd.
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view has. the following to say anent
the working of railroad employees
over time:
1t has been very common custom
to abuse railroads for working men
overtime, and it has been equally.
common to ascribe many Of the
wrecks tpthat cause The strange
part of s1ch a charge is the assertion
that the pracrice proceeds from greed
on the part Of the roads, gthe writersa
apparently being ignorant bf the fact
thatsthe men are paid ibys the'hour snd
that. it. costs no more to pay two men
ten hours each than one man working
twenty hours. A court In Pensyiva.
MIA has lately taken sensible View
of the case. It appears that freight
train had orders to remain upon !.
sidetrack until four trains had passed.
and that. while waiting. the entire
crew went to sleep. Being awakened
by the passing Of the third train, they
assumed that It was tie fourth tram
and consequently pulled out and into
the last train, which had not yet aeriy-s
ed. Two persons were killed and sever
al injured; and on the trial Of the en-
gineer, whose case first came up. the
plea was made that when railroad
employee falls ssleep from physcaf
weakness, from illness, OF from Eeark
ness from long hours Or steady em-5
p1oyn1ent and an accident occurs. the
employee should be acquitted. The
court :overruled this plea, holding that
no man had a right to work on 9 rail.s.
road unless in fine physical condition,
and if he fell asleep, no matter from
what cause, he should discontinue (
work, even though he should lose hts
position, rather than jeopardize the
lives of passengers; and as a result
the engineer was convicted. 50
This is sensible as well as just
ruling. A man himself is the best
Judge Of his own fitness for suck
work so far as the matter Of sleep II 1
concerned. in fact, he is the only one !
who can know of his condition in that
regard. The absurdity Of the charge
commonly made against the railroads
On this account lies in the fact that
trainmen have the absolute choice OF
going on or staying OF duty. and Il
not infrequently happens that trains {
are tied up en- route because men pre-
fer to go to sleep, rather than work
long hours overtime. II there is any =
greed" connected with the matter !.
is wholly on the part OF the men
themselves. who naturally want to
makelarge wages, and as a result fre-
quently do go out in an unfit condition.
and thereby endanger not. only their
own lives, but the lives Of others and
the property OF the company as well.
It is full time that the responsibility
in such cases should be fixed where It
belongs, and the Pennsylvania court
has made q move in the right direc-
tion..
