Protecting Orchard Trees.

We have friend who is growing a
commercial apple orchard of 5000 trees
in northern Iowa. His method of pro-
tecting his trees from sun scald, rab-
bits and borers is this: He takes tough
marsh hay, and from it twists a hay
rope an inch and half in diameter,
and commencing at the bottom Of the
trunk of the tree, winds it snugly
around the tree, fastening the upper
end among the branches in the crotch.
He tells us that he finds this method
a perfect protection against the three
worst enemies Of the apple tree named.
He leaves this rope on winter and sum-
mer until il rots Off which will be in
about three years. Using this method,
one thing must be guarded against, and
that is the keeping of the base of the
trunk free from grass and weeds, or
the field mice will nest here and bark
the trunk of the tree.

which it seems so well fitted-binding

The Family PIG.

If one wants some choice pork for the
family to eat. the pig should not know
very much about corn at any period of
his career and most certainly should
not be allowed to follow a bunch of fat
ting steers. The family pig, while a
scavenger by nature, still responds to
decent rations of food and should be
the product of skimmilk, barley. meal
and roots, with a chance to run in a
wood lot and pick up some acorns and
nuts. TO be finished off with a little corn
at the last end Such pork will be the
typical streak OF fat aud streak OF lean,

Poverty and Pietv.

A Western preacher whose salary has
probably not been raised 10 make good
to him the increased cost of living in
these prosperous times in a recent ser
mon delivered by him expresses the
opinion that continuous prosperity is
not a good thing for the man on the
farm; that money easily made is likely
to be foolishly spent, and that such n
condition tends to undermine the moral
fiber of the farmer. The writer is al
ways and ever an optimist-a locker on
the bright side of things and for the
best size OF his fellows-and so we can
not agree with this preacher. who re-
fleets little of the 10th century piety
which advocated the crucifixion of the
flesh as the most orthodox method of
serving the Lord. The good things of
life are just as much the legitimate re-
wards of correct living and business in
telligence as are failure poverty and
misery the rewards of shiftlessness,
laziness and lack of business sagacity
The good things are placed within the
reach of every man If he will but make
the proper effort to win them Piety
is not the legitimate outcome of poverty,
for but few people are so built that they
voluntarily praise God when they are
hungry poor and miserable. The men
and women on the farm who today en-
joy a financial independence have
reached this point only after many
long, hard years of toll and struggle.
1t will not wreck their future happiness
TO enjoy good crops and good prices and
freedom from debt. 1t is hard to be a
good Christian with only one shirt and
an empty pocketbook. This parson
should learn to look on the bright side
and take his texts from the Psalms and
not from jeremiah.

Palestine Cranes.

AS boy we remember seeing a pic
ture depicting the spies returning from
the land of Canaan, bearing on a pole,
which two men carried on their Shout
ders, punches of grapes from the prom
Used land The artist had made these
punches of grapes almost touch the
ground, and we got the idea that they
must have come from a great grape
country. We see that large numbers of
German vine growers are locating in
Palestine to take up the culture of the
grape. the quality OF which as there
grown is equal to the best product of
either France of Germany.

Beet Sugar and the Trust.

1t has been clearly foreseen for some
time that when the time arrived that
the product of the beet sugar factories
of this country reached a sufficiently
large amount. so that it would seek a
market outside that offered by the SUI
gar trust, there would be trouble IN the
sugar camp That time has now ar
rived, and the trust is after the home

lie has a very lively interest in the
