FISH IN STAGNANT PONDS. There have been dispatches in the daily papers of late telling of the plan of riiili'oad ofliclals of putting gold nnd other small fish Into stagnant pools along tlielr rights of way. the Idea be ing that the fish will devour the wig- Biers which Inter turn into mosqui toes. This scheme sounds good on pa per, hut unless the llsh which are lo be used for the purpose nre different from any fish the writer knows about they will nil be dead Inside of thirty-six hours unless these ponds hnve fresh water flowing Into them. There Is no question about the fish devouring ths mosquito larvae If they can be kept alive LEGUMES FOR THE ORCHARD. In the valley In which the writer's rancrJ Is located, owing to the dry sum mers during which period the clean till age system Is followed. It Is desirable to sow o leguminous cover crop In ths fall about the time the rainy season sets In. This not only serves as a soli renovator, but when plowpd under In the spring ndds to the soil humus, an element In which nil too ninny western orchard soils nre lacking. Besides this, the heavy growth of the legume, which continues through the winter owing to the mild cllmnte. tends to check ths wash of tlie soil by the henvy ruins.
