Orchard Windfalls and Ground Preparation in Old Orchards
The orchard with thinly spaced trees yields fewer windfalls, but those that do fall are better to save. To prevent bruising, ensure a smooth ground surface. Remove scattered stones, plow and harrow to mellow soil, sow oats to cushion apples, and use a roller to bring stones to the surface. When the orchard is graded to grass, remove surface stones entirely.
Small Collectors and Hidden Picture Treasures
The growing demand for good pictures extends beyond wealthy buyers. Numerous New York collectors keep small groups, often six canvases or fewer, largely out of public view. One amateur owns three Turner works from a London find, including a grotto scene painted as a color experiment after a dinner wager, later bought from the original owner’s family.

Left Handed Masticators Claim About Jaw Sides
A Pittsburgh Bulletin note reports that most people favor left-side mastication with the molars, though a majority may believe they chew on the right. The piece cites a controversial claim by Oliver Goldsmith and argues habit may drive side preference, not free choice.
