STAYED the unIifted Hand.

The old man was about to bring the
shingle down where it would do the most
good when the boy interrupted to make
one last plea.
"You've always said, father" he
urged, "that your school days we're the
happiest memories of your life"
"Quite true," admitted the man.
"And when I've heard you recalling
those memories with some of your old
cronies," persisted the boy, "you've all
ways dwelt especially upon scrapes you
were in and the tricks you played upon
your teachers"
"Um, yes; maybe so. What of it?'
"Well, haven't been doing a thing
but store up pleasant memories for my
old age"
And the shingles fall was stayed.

Good drainage, natural or artificial, is
essential to success. Trees are impa-
tient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also conserves
it's moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground is dry enough in the
spring, and should be repeated as often
as once every ten days throughout the
growing season, which extends from
spring until July or August.
Only cultivated crops should be all
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Even hoed oreultivated crops may rob
the trees Of moisture and fertility if they
are allowed to stand above the tree
roots.
Watch sod orchard. It will begin to
fail before you know it.
Probably nine-tenths Of the apple
orchards are in sod, md RsaEly Of them
are meadows. OF course they are fail
ing.
The remedy for these apple failures is
TO cut down many OF the orchards. For
the remainder, tho treatment ID cultlva-

Her eyes was velvet, and her hair was

She cost me more'n hunderd, by gum,
And the way ez worshipped that COW

And I always p'inted to her with pride,
Till one March mornin' she up and died.
Fer awhile I thought that the sun had
set
All seven am, and my eyes was wet
With barrel of tears; but it cheered

The less that got to thinkin' NV it.
I traded her hide that very same day
To a man fer couple Nv bundles of hay,
And traded the hay, by a lucky chance,
To "a chap fer load NV strawberry

Where the COW used to be-"a hallowed

And I sold my crop Nv strawberries fer
A-plenty to buy me two cows like her.
