SIX REASONS
FOR PLANTING AN ORCHARD.
BY EDISON HARDNESS

l. Would you leave an inheritance TO your chill
dreni Plant orchard No other investment Of
money and labor will, in the long run, pay so well.
2 Would you make home pleasant--the abode of
the social virtuesi Plan, an orchard Nothing bet
ter promotes, among neighbors, feeling of kindness
and good will, than treat of good fruit often re-
peated.
g. Would you remove from your children the
strongest temptation TO steal Plant an orchard If
children cannot obtain fruit at home they are very
apt to steal III and when they have learned TO steal
fruit, they in fair way to learn to steal horses
4. Would you cultivate a constant feeling of tbank-
fulness towards the great giver Of all goodi Plant
an orchard BY having constantly before you of
the greatest blessings given TO man, you must be
hardened indeed If you are not influenced by spirit
of humility and thankfulness.
S. Would your have your children love their
homes respect their parents while living and venc.
rate their memory when dead--n all their wander:
ngs look back upon the home Of their youth a. q sa-
cred spot-an oasis in the great wilderness Of the
world then plant an orchard.
6. In short, If you wish to avail yourself Of the
blessings Of a bountilul Providence, which are with
IN your reach, you must plant an orchard And
when you do it, that you plant good fruit Don't
plant crab-applc trees, nor wild plums, nor Indian
peaches. The best are the cheapest.
