do not think that the oat plant
makes an ideal orchard cover crop.
Nevertheless, it is very much better
than no cover crop. The fact that
you are to grow hoed crop in your
orchard during the fore part of the
season increases the possibility of in
jury from the using of oats in the lat
ter part. If you can get a good catch
of crimson clover and can SOW this be-
tween the rows of your hoed crop, 1
should use it in preference to oats
If this is not feasible, then sow oats
and peas, but 1 would take care % use
a fertilizer with the spring crop
While it is true that the oat crop will
not be harvested, yet the cereals draw
so heavily on the moisture of the soil
that, should the season be dry, it
might prove a dangerous competitor
for the young fruit trees. This is a
system of double cropping and Should
be conducted with caution.-J. c.

Existence, as Philip Van Vivier
planned it, was to be very pleasant
affair. He had youth and health, and
wealth, and he pictured the future a
gay Kaleidoscope minglings of golf,
and polo ponies, and grand opera, and
little suppers after the play, and Lon
don seasons and Partisan boulevards,
and it really seemed to him-when he
stopped to moralize-that this was
pretty good old world after all, and
that given these things and a good
digestion a man might be happy if he
tried.
Then, too, to crown it all there was
Madge. Madge, tall and slight, and
svelt, with the tawny gold in her
hair, and the eyes that changed with
every changing thought-that were as
blue as summer skies when she smil-
ed, and grew black as midnight when
she thrilled to any deep emotion.
Philip could hardly remember a time
when he had not loved her. They had
grown up, boy and girl, together, with
something singularly similar in their
fate. Both were orphaned children,
left to the untender care of unwilling
relatives, and Philip never forgot the
moment of their meeting. His uncle's
place adjoiled that of Madge's guard
ian, and he had been wandering about
the grounds, a forlorn and lonely
childish figure, when he first came
upon the little maid. She gave one
long look at his somber face and
mourning clothes, and then, with that
swift and intuitive sympathy that God
gives to even the youngest child, she
went up to him.
Little boy" she lisped, for she was
scarcely more than baby, little boy,
is 90 lonesome, and doesn't nobody
love 'oo?"
NO" he had answered with a sob
from the depths of his hungry little
heart.
Don't c'y, little boy" she comfort
ed, slipping her hand in his, I i'll
love 90, and 200 won't never be lone
some any more" and, indeed, it seem
ed to Philip he had never been lone
some again. There was always
Madge.
But who may count securely on the
future? Move the kaleidoscope ever
SO gently and its figures change. There
came day when Philip had to do,
not with visions of a golden future,
but with a hard and merciless pres
ent. Suddenly, as an unexpected
thunderbolt came the failure of the
trust company in which his fortune
was invested, and he awoke one morn
ing to find himself that most pitiable
of all creatures on earth-the man
who needs noney, and knows no way
Of earning it. He had taken the blow
standing, with a smile on his lips, like
the thoroughbred he was, and just
how deep the hurt went none knew.
Pleasant prospect" was his sole
comment with shrug of his shout.
ders to those who would have con-
doled with him on his loss, "a beer

adjusting them?"
He might meet the situation with
laughter and scotfing SO far as others
were concerned, but when it came to
Madge it was another thing. 81 can't

Choosing the Rioht Moment.

When man with ideas complains
that he is disregarded, as a crank. he
has probably failed to discover that
the habits of the world are largely as
sumed as the result of experience. It
is enough to give utterance to new
ideas in order that they may become
effective when they grow old. Only
once In a thousand times does man
hit upon the psychological moment for
revolution. The world cannot be
forced but at the right time it enthu-
siastically follows an able leader.

Alfalfa is not well sui

Alfalfa is not well suited to con-
ditions and treatment suitable for
timothy and red clover. By the time
alfalfa is ready to cut for hay, timothy
and red clover are not sufficiently ad-
vanced for full yield, and if the al
falfa is allowed to stand until the
other crops are ready for cutting the
alfalfa stalks will have become tough,
woody and indigestible and will have
lost many Of their leaves which are
the best part of the fodder. Again, al
falfa should be cut three or our times
in a year, while timothy and red
clover will produce only two crops at
most Some farmers mix in a little
alfalfa seed with permanent pasture
mixtures, but for hay this plant does
not go well with red clover and tim

W. NJ. W.-Would hens lay just as
well if the flock contained one male
for each two hens, as if there were
only one male for ten or twelve hens?
1t is generally believed by expert
enced poultry keepers that the pres
ence or absence of males in the flock
has no influence upon the number of
eggs laid. 1t is reasonable to con-
clude, however, that hens being con-
stantly mo1ested would not lay as well
as if allowed to enjoy peaceful life.
The question is not one of great i'm
portance, as no practical poultry keep
er would think of keeping a large
number of male birds with his laying
hens to eat up their feed and keep
the place in a turmoil.
