A Shy Bearer.

AS I passed his orchard on my way
to town, saw my friend Jenkins cut
ting down some large and healthylook-
ing trees. I stopped and said !:
"What Is the matter with those trees
Has the Goblin moth got into them
They don't show any signs of disease
or decay"
mo. They grow vigorously, out
they are shy bearers. Some years they
blossom we'll, but the fruit does not
mature, and get only a quarter of
crop. T cannot afford to give such soil
as this, and the best of culture, to trees
that don't pay. I must get rid OF
them, and put in their places those
that will bear full crops"
I admitted the wisdom Of Jenkins
course, and yet could not help feel
ing sad as I saw those noble trees fall
ing. What a pity that they were 80
irregular and capricious in responding
to the purpose for which they were
planted and cultivated.
AS I drove on, thought of the shy
bearers in the garden of the Lord.
Our Savior said, in his beautiful para
BILE of 1.-THE Vine:" "Herein is my
Father glorified that ye bear much
fruit" The emphasis is on the adject
i've. when we see tree with only a
few gnarly apples on it, we are tempt
ed to think it has been neglected
And when we see one loaded with
large snd luscious apples, we feel like
saving, that orchardist understands
his business. Much fruit glorifies the
cultivator. And that is the kind of
glory God seeks in our characters and
and lives. If we are only little bet
ter than the worldlings around US; If
we give only small pittance of our
means to the cause of Christ; If our
Christian activity is occasional and
spasmodic-the men who take knowl-
edge of us will say, There Is probably
something in religion, but not much
for if it is all that it claims to be, these
pious people would be giving a great
deal more than they give, and doing
great deal more than they do.
And how sadly the Lord must look
down upon the shy bearers. No doubt
he often feels like saying in regard to
many of them "Cut it down; why
cumbereth it the ground? And yet
he spares US, though we so sadly dis
honor him as the husbandman. Oh,
if all his trees of righteousness re-
sponded to the richness of the soil in
which he has planted them, and to
the wise and loving culture that he
bestows upon them, the world would
speedily be attracted by the abundance
and the excellence of Gospel frultage'

Wafer Works and Electric Lights.

A meeting of the citizens was held In the
Court House yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose OF looking into the feasibility OF esta6-
fishing system OF water works and ELECTRIC
lights for this place. l.. w. White was called
to the chair and T. P. Quarles was requested
to act as Secretary. The meeting seemed TO
have no real defined idea as to what would be
the cost OF maintaining and erecting these
improvements, or how the survey should be
made, and there seemed to be q unanimtty OF
sentiment in securing more information on
the subject, before the venture is undertaken.
In accordance with this sentiment, II was re.
solved that a committee OF three be appointed
by the Town Council to visit different places
where the joint system Is established TO con-
fer with civil engineers, to correspond with
parties familiar with the subject, and TO ob-
tain all Information possible and 10 report 10
a subsequent meeting OF the citizens 10 be
called In the near future.

"For want of nail the shoe was
lost" comes from Franklin's "Poor
Richards Almanack," which was pub
lished from 1882 to 1853. The quota
ton is this "Trusting too much to
others care is the ruin of many; for in
the affairs of this world men are saved
not by faith, but by want of it; but a
mans own care is profitable for, if
you would have faithful servant one
that you like, serve yourself. A little
neglect may breed a great mischief, for
want of nail the shoe was lost, for
want of shoe the horse was lost, and
for want of horse the rider was lost
being overtaken and slain by the
enemy all for want Of little care
about horseshoe nail. A small leak
will sink great ship, as Poor Richard
says"

Private Dairy.

The creamery is all right in its place,
but the private dairy is at home or can
be made so on any we'll managed farm.
Private dairying for market purposes
has a range of adaptability far beyond
that of the creamery, and the output of
private dairies is increasing faster than
that of creameries ever did. Those
who declare that dairy farming is
doomed are away off their conclusions.
They are multiplying as they never
did before. The Southwest is develop
ing this branch of agriculture rapidly,
and as the people learn its requirements
and merits it will grow in favor.
When a man controls his own
products, and learns the best methods
of production, dairying will become
more popular.

1t is very important, not only that
all the stable manure made on the
farm shall be used, but that it shall be
put where it will do the greatest good.
Most farmers who grow head crops
largely use a great deal of manure on
their corn and potato ground. In this
way they get returns from 1t the same
wear, and that is best, provided the
soil is not rich enough to produce full
crop without it.
