RESCUlNG AN ORCHARD.
a Practical Lesson in the Cultivation
of One That Does Not
Pay.

What is to be done with the old or.
chard? This is a question which many
men are asking. Will it pay to do any
thing? Is 1t not better to cut down the
trees, clear the ground and make use
OF it for other purposes?
Undoubtedly there are some orchards
that might better never have been set.
The soil is not such as is fitted for
them, the varieties were poorly select
ed, the stock was poor or the man who
set them was not adapted to fruit
growing. AS a result the orchard is a
failure and always has been.
But many an orchard has been made
good, though the prospects were dis
Couraging at the first. One which |
have in mind could hardly have been
more unfavorable for a beginning. 1t
was set on a gravelly soil, which is not
considered good for apples. The trees
were of the poorest They were, in
fact, nothing better than refuse stock
from nursery, such as ought to go as
brush This was the beginning.
For nearly 80 years the trees stood
and took the chances with the grain
and hay crops. OF course they had the
worst of it and at the end of that time
there were many vacant places in the
orchard. The trees that remained were
small and sickly looking. AS for fruit
there never had been much. The or
chard had been one that didn't pay"
Fortunately man with an idea then
took charge of the farm. He plowed
the orchard and sowed rye. In place
of cutting the grain and drawing it off
the field he used it for hog pasture.
After year the ground was again
plowed and sowed The pigs grew up
and went their appointed way, leaving
the orchard better than they found it.
The trees responded readily to this
treatment. They made fine growth,
and after four or five years began to
produce apples. Then the orchard
paid" 1t paid the best of any field
on the farm. There were crops on the
off, years, when other orchards were
nearly barren.
Conditions were certainly discourag-
ing enough. 1t is no exaggeratiOn TO
say that the majority of neglected or
chards offer better prospects than this.
But there was one thing in it's favor
The varieties were mostly good.
What was done in this case can be
done in many another. If the orchard
; has been long in sod it can be plOwed
up this fall after the trees have stopped
growing, then sown to rye. Next spring
begin pruning and set the hogs at
work. The pigs will do the cultivating
and will pay for the privilege.
Whatever may be said about this
method, says the Farmers Voice, and
it is not above criticism, it is at least
a cheap and convenient way of treat.
ing this veXed question. There may be
ways that are better. but certainly this
is not so bad as to leave the orchard to
care for itself The same treatment
would make many orchards a source of
profit that now are an annoyance to
their owners and far from a credit to
the farms.

| Hearing how Lydia T. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound had saved other women from
serious operations | decided TO try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness
Miss Margret Merlsley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
| Gloss of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that | had ovarian trou-

as my only hope. To this | strongly objected

"To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
| more strong, vigorous and well: and | can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"

When a physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that She
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospnels are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's s
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
