Grand island, in Lake Superior, has
this year received an importation of
Swedish willow grouse from the Scan
dinavian peninsula Other species
brought over last year seem to have
stood the winter well. The gamekeep-
ers on the island have to wage contin-
ual warfare against hawks, owls and
foxes in protecting the game bird life.

A greater measure Of satisfaction u
got out of life by endeavoring to be
content with moderate accumulation
Of earthly goods than in the possession
of much larger wealth coupled with
hankering after that which is impossi-
Bile or unattainable. Wealth is more
truly measured not by what we pos
sess, but by what we enjoy.

We sowed two strips in our orchard
to alfalfa late last summer, about Aug.
20. While good stand resulted, the
crickets and grasshoppers pounced on
it when it got into the third leaf and
literally devoured every vestige of 1t.
We shall make another trial of it this
year, sowing the seed somewhat earli-
er, when other green food for insects is
somewhat more plentiful.

The man who tested his corn thor
oughly before planting will not only
get a larger crop at cribbing time, but
will derive satisfaction every day he
cultiyates the crop from the fact that
he himself and the land he works are
realizing a fair return on the degree
Of fertility and effort that are respec-
lively invested.

Where it is possible TO do so there is
no way Of keeping the growth of grass
down along the tree rows in the Or
chard that excels a heavy mulching
with coarse manure or straight oat
straw. This mulch will not only serve
to check and practically prevent the
growth of the grass, but will keep the
ground in moist condition favorable
to the growth Of the trees. While mice
and rabbits might find harbor in the
straw during the winter months, dam
age from them can be guarded against
by wrapping the trees with wire screen

For the third and fourth sprayings
for the orchard this season we shall
use a homemade arsenate of lead, made
by dissolying lead acetate in water
and mixing with sodium arsenate, %
ounces of the former being combined
with s ounces Of the latter. This
amount of the chemicals is sufficient
for 100 gallons of water or an equal
volume of bordeaux mixture, which
we shall use in the work mentioned.
a homemade arsenate of this descrip-
ton is just as effcacious as well as
considerably cheaper than paris green.

The wood lot, whether of artificial

a careful and judicioHs thinning, which
thus gives the remaining trees more

FEDERATION OF CHURCHES.

Inc following editorial appeared in
the Herald and Presbyter, one of the
more conservative papers of the Presby-
terrain. Church, North. 1t is directly in
the line of what has been said by those
who, in the South, oppose the federation
scheme:
We are inclined to believe that if our
Assembly's Committee on Church Co
operation and Union will confine it's at
tention to Cooperation and union" as
contemplated in it's original appointment,
and drop the matter of Federation, or at
least of Federal Council it will promote
cooperation among all the Presbyterian
and Reformed Churches and union with
some of them.
We know that the committee was au-
thorized by the last Assembly to consider
the matter of Federation. Having init
mated, in its report, that some form of
Federation was desirable, it was author
lied to proceed with negotiations, and it
is according to instructions that it now
presents Plan of Federation.
This plan as published does not strike
us favorably. 1t involves a Federal
Council, composed of delegates from the
churches, having powers sometimes not
clearly defined, sometimes contradic-
tory, and sometimes, as we believe,
in conflict with the constitution of the
in criticism of the committee which has
evidently tried to avoid these very things,
but as reason for the belief to which we
more and more incline that Federation
is a fallacy. Cooperation is desirable
and possible, and already prevails. Union
is desirable and possible in the future,
but Federation is probably impossible on
desirable terms.
Federation means the surrender of in
dependence by the decorating Churches.
1t means to our Church the creation of
an authority or governing body superior
to our General Assembly. 1t means reg
ular biennial meetings of this new, high
est judicatory, with other meetings as
often as it sees best, and money to be
paid for entertainment and travelling ex-
penses, and probably for other expenses.
Federation is in theory the halfway
point between fraternal cooperation and
organic union, but really there is no such
halfway point. Federation is either one
thing or the other. 1t is either a form
of cooperation or organic oneness. All
depends on whether the absolute indie
pendence of the decorating Churches is
maintained
This is the key to the discussion. A
federal organization which, however IL
logical, claims to recognize the indepen-
dence OF the separate parts can accom-
plish no more than is now accomplished
by cooperation, and is therefore not
needed, or at least not worth so great
expense, while a federal organization
which does not recognize the independ-
ence of the parts and has authority over
them, is a union, and would better be so
calleu and understood.
The purposes of the proposed Federal
Council are first to promote the co-ope-
ration of the federated Churches in their
foreign missionary work" and also in
their general work In connection with

Any play that teaches a great moral
lesson is bound to do good to a COM
munity. Some of the greatest sermons
ever preached against evil deeds and
association are embodied in the plays
of the stage. The lesson Of life IS
presented to the listener in a way that
makes an impression on the mind and
gives him food for thought. While
the spectator is listening to the text
of the play, his visual sense is being
attracted by seeing the scenes enacted
before MS eyes, that are being de-
scribed in the words to which he is
listening
In such plays as Human Hearts
which will be shown the contrast be-
tween virtue and vice is sharply drawn
The author has not minced matters in
drawing his characters, and as the
incidents of the play are based on
real occurrences. he has not had to

It Was a Splendid Success.

Wasn't it perfectly grand?" "It
was glorious!" 1t, was splendid"
The best 1 ever heard" and similar
expressions of delight were heard on
every side among the throngs leaving
Whitman chapel at the close of the
Choral Unions opening concert last
night. Nine. Mary Louise Clary, of
New York, was the star attraction.
She proved to be all that she had been
advertised to be, and more. She has a
voice of magnificent range and power
and she has it under perfect control.
It was plain that her voice was cap
able of filling halls of ten times the
capacity of Whitman chapel and it
could be easily believed by all who
heard her wonderful voice that she mas
been a leader of the choir in the great
cathedral of st. Patrick's on Fifth
avenue, New York. Every number
was enthusiastically encored and every
one had its advantages in showing
Nine. Clarys versatile art of express
sion.
The singing of the Choral Union was
splendid, attesting the excellent train
ing given by Professor Pennell The
string quartet, composed of Professor
Edgar Fischer, Professor Pencil, Miss
Lulu Paul and Miss Bertha Young
rivalled Nine Clary in the favor 81

Professor Pennell and the Chora
Union are to be congratulated upoT

| of the year. The music loving people
of Walla Walla will look forward
eagerly to the next concert by this
capable organization.

The characters of Jeanette" and
Frederick Armsdale" in Human
Hearts should be carefully studied by
everybody. We meet their prototypes
in daily life, in nearly all large COM

and the loving care of parents and
friends still go astray, and sink lower

Another novel character drawing in

born amidst the lowest surroundings,
with no advantage in early life, know
ing nothing of the difference between
right and wrong; criminal because
he has had no opportunities to be any,
thing else. But here is a character
that conspires to better things. The
inherent instinct to raise himself above
the level of MS surroundings, is lying
dormant, but when the realization of
the difference between right and wrong
is brought home to him, he chooses the
proper path.
