A small boy was fishing on Sunday
morning. He had basket of fish
alongside of him. A clergyman hap
pened to see him, and going over to
where he was busily watching the bob
said:
"You naughty, cruel boy! Don't you
know tblt it is a sin to fish on the Sab
bath? Besides the sin, think Of the
cruelty of it-taking the poor little
worm out of the ground and sticking
that nasty sharp hook through it's
body"
THAT amt no worm. That's an ar
tificial fy!' answered the boy.
"Ah. was mistaken" said the
preacher.

Pigs and Savings Banks.
1t is rather d surprising fact, consid-
ering how enormously they have grown,
that at the beginning Of the nineteenth
century there was not a savings bank
in the world. The Rev. Henry Duncan,
rector of a very poor English parish,
noticed that when the people wished to
lay by a little money they would buy
q pig or a cow with it, having no other
way to find investment for small sums
He founded the first real savings bank
in 1870 Two or three which had ex
Isted before that time were practically
charitable foundations.

FOR THE FARMER,


The season is again near at hand
for planting trees, shrubs. vines and
plants, and no time should be lost
in preparing all the requisites so as
to be in readiness for planting at
the first opportunity. Many per-
sons fail to understand the import
ance of having the soil in thorough
filth at planting time The lifetime
of tree or plant depends material
ly on scientific system of plant
ing, and the first five years after
planting determines the existence
and profitableness of the orchard or
vineyard.
Select the location for a new or
chard with care. See that the soil
conditions suited to the nature and
requirements of each variety are
present. Give the apple the loamy
soil, and the peach, pear, cherry
and plum the thinner or poorer
soil. The dwarf pear requires q
good garden loan. Plow the ground
deep, harrow and level and mark
off for the trees accurately. Dig
the holes, or, if planting largely,
four burrows may be turned apart
with the pillow, leaving an open fur.
row for the line of trees. Have the
trees trenched, each variety sepa-
rately, near where they are to be
planted. Take ten or twelve from
the trench at time, giving pro-
lection to the roots by covering
with damp burlap or old carpet.
Cut back the mutilated roots to
sound, healthy wood Use a sharp
knife, cutting from the under side.
Set apple trees | to 2 inches deeper
than they stood in the nursery row,
leaning 10 to Is degrees in the
southwest.
Have the top soil thoroughly
fined or pulverized. Fill in by
sprinkling on and through the
roots, packing in with the fingers.
When the roots are well covered,
the dirt should be firmed with the
feet so as to leave no air space
about or near the roots. If the sol
