PoULThY IN ORCHARDS.

Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English

In the mature state this insect is a fly
which deposits its eggs in the pulp OF the

those who enjoy them. The manager
is tempted to reduce wages to increase
dividends, and the laborers resist the
reduction and demand living wages.
Sometime the struggle reaches the point

This is the only lawful limitation upon

extent. If these weapons are withheld
from them, then, indeed, are they left
