There is near Philadelphia a market
gardener with just one acre of land,
and he grows each year pieplant to the
value to him Of $125 from the roots
which he has planted right under the
wire fence which surrounds his lot. We
know of thousands of farmers all
through the west who grow ten feet of
most luxuriant weeds along all the
fence rows on their farms, and they do
not get $125 out of them either.

There is class Of petty offenses
which aflict every civilized community
with which the law deals altogether
too leniently. There is the case Of the
man who comes home drunk and
abuses his wife, the neighbor who will
persist in keeping hens in town to tear
up your garden, the boys who rob mel
on patches and orchards, the chicken
thief, the killing of song birds and the
spoliation of their nests, the men who
plaster the floors of smoking cars and
the sidewalks with tobacco Juice, the
violation Of the laws protecting fish
and game, the people who are cruel
and unkind to animals and to women
and childrcn-a class Of offenses which
are rarely adequately punished, If pun
ished at all, and which some way seem
to need some quick and effective, treat
ment such as all good citizens feel like
administering when such cases arise.
We know that the public whipping
post is regarded as relic Of barba-
rism, but the fact remains that in ev-
cry community there are cases than
which no kind Of punishment would
be more fitting and proner,

We noted field Of corn on which
the owner had sown rape at the time
Of the last blowing. The rape was not
very good in October; neither was the
corn. 1t is pretty hard matter.to get
two crops at once off the land, and it
may be pretty safely assumed that all
catch crops sown in corn, whether
rape, vetch, cowpeas or soy beans, are
always grown at the expense of the
corn crop.

A few years ago this country was de
pendent largely upon Spain for all the
raisins it used. Now California en-
tirely supplies the home demand and
has a surplus left for less favored
countries.

Hunting bee trees is quite u favorite
pastime in the fall where the native
timber is still unmolested. 1t is an old
unwritten law that the bee tree and
its honey belong to the man who discov-
ers them, and this law is generally re-
spected in the newer portions of the
country, but where the country is we'll
settled the real law comes in, and the
tree and the bees belong to the owner
of the land upon which they may be
found.

The Dutch, the Netherlands people,
who live and prosper on land which
they have reclaimed from the North
sea, hold S261, 100000 of American
railroad bonds and stocks, and still we
have lots of people who live on better
land, which cost them less than $40 per
acre, who cannot ever hope to get rid Of
the ancient mortgage upon it, let alone
ever owning bond of the railroad
which runs through the farm. A very
thrifty set are those Dutch.
