Many orchards become unproductive.
To restore them to productiveness SOW
them in clover, and when the clover is
well established turn in the hogs and
sheep. Their droppings will fertilize
the ground. They will pick up all the
worm-falls, and this will wonderfully
lessen the destruction of fruit by worms.
Top dressings of rotten manure, leaf
mold, ashes, lime, etc., are very bene-
hcial to orchards that have been in bear
ing a few years. Orchards can only be
kept good by good care, good manuring
and good pruning. Labor is indispen-
sable to success in fruit culture, as in
all other things.

won the teart Of lady of nineteen.
She was the daughter of pious parents,
and. although she Was not connected
with any church. looked With q feeling
akia to horror on anything approaching
skepticism. But the time came when
she learned that her lover was q Deis.
that he had 10 venerstion for the Bible,
and took no interest in churches. She
was deeply panied By the reselstion.
She sebt for her lover and endeavored
to Convince him of his error, but he was
MT satisfied with her arguments. Sire
finally wrote TO him tear-stsined let
ter. bidding hiua good by forever. The
lady mourned. but tried to satisfy her.
self that she had acted correctly. Two
years made her more liberal than she
had been. The more she read. the
more she distrusted her former decision,
and che finally became quite rs liberal
as the lover she had discarded. The
lover, too, had undergone q change.
Last winter a revival Of religion took
place in the city in which he was en-
gagged in business. Suffice it to say
that he united with the church, and in
q short ii e became . Jealous member.
He thought Of the action of bis former
sweetheart in discarding him for his in
fidelity. and wrote her . brief note ask.
ing the privilege of once more calling
on her. When she timidly apologized
for her previous dismissal of him. he.
to her surprise, defended her conduct.
said she had been in the right, and in
h'r place he would do the same. Her
heart sank at these words. She con.
fessed the great change in her euti-
ments; from being q firm believer in
the Bible she had discarded it. and with
it her belief in any revealed religion
He pleaded With her. urging everything
he could think of to induce her to
change her mind. She could not and
told him So He felt that he must not
be yokcd with an unbelievcr. and gave
her up.
