Sheen in the Orchard.

correspondent says: "The greatest
value of sheep in an orchard is found
probably in their being used as
means of fertilizing orchards that are
bearing. If put in the same some
what early in the spring and fed
suitable supplementary food with the
grass which the orchard may furnish,
it will be found that the sheep will
thus convey fertility to the land, and
they will do so in a marked degree
if fed on right kinds of food. Such
food may consist very largely OF
wheat bran, which is in itself val
liable fertilizer. 1t may be wise to
encourage the sheep to eat it freely, to
add a little grain in the form of oats.
A little oil cake will also improve the
food. The droppings thus left in the
orchard will tend very much to it's en-
richment. The outcome will be that
where this system is persevered in
during considerable portions of the
season, the orchard will thus be pro-
vided with a liberal application of fer
tility. This statement, of course, is
based on the supposition that there is
some proper relation between the num-
Der of sheep grazed and the area of
the orchard"

which was issued on February 26, 1901,

servator of the French language. took
exception. Recently the committee ap-
pointed by the Academy to consider
these governmental attempts to re

plant The fruits are cooked like tht
squash and the tuberous roots are eat
en- like yams. A popularity OF tn:
fruit is that it has only one seed, am
this begins to grow as soon as rips:
The whole fruit is planted. as the see

Among the plants of minor import
ance in the garden the Swiss chard
should not be lost sight of. 1t is not
so largely cultivated in American gar
dens as it should be, but it is usually
appreciated by those who become ac-
quainted with it.
Swiss chard is really nothing mora
than a beet which grows large top at
the expense of the root. The leaf is
broad and the mid-rib is wide and
thick, but the root is small and in
clined to be woody. The blade Of the
leaf is used for greens" or the whole
of the young plant may be utilized i'll
this way. The large mid-rib is cooked
like asparagus, for which purpose 1T
may be used till fall.
Until recently chard has been listed
as merely a variety of beet, but n DIV
some seedsmen place it by itself and
offer more than one kind. One variety
rejoices in the ponderous name Of Giant
Perpetual Spinach chard, which is a
deal more descriptive than convenient
The Asparagus beet, which is among
the novelties in catalogue best known
for it's extravagant claims, is evidently
nothing more than chard under another
name.
Chard is as easily grown as beets,
and in the same manner. The seed Is
sown in the spring in rows far enough
apart for cultivation. AS the tops ara
large, they should be given more room
than beets If wanted for late use, as
the plants should be thinned SO sls to
stand foot apart. Only few good
thrifty plants are needed for the fam
lily garden, as when the leaves are
broken off the roots will send up a new
supply. Like the beet, it delights in a
loose, warm, rich soil, but as it is
grown for tops it will make use OF
more stimulating fertilizers than Il

has simply affirmed the ruling of the
lower ones. The decision is an affirm
alton of the property right in labor,
the personal privilege of every man to
agree upon the price and quantity
of the commodity he has for sale and
the right to deliver it according to
contract. The court held the law to
be unconstitutional as an invasion of
the liberty to earn money by labor.
There was, however, a minority opin-
ion favoring the law as part of the
proper police powers of the state to
limit the hours of unhealthful and
dangerous employment.
Getting back to first principles the
law was oppressive. 1t limited the
rights of those physically able and
anxious to work long hours. because
others less inclined to thrift are I'M
able or unwilling to compete with
them Practically it was confisca-
ton of one mans opportunity to cover
anothers lack. The decision does not
prevent contracts between men and
employers for an eight hour or shorter
day, but it prevents one working man
from interfering with the equal right
of another laborer to make such pri-
vate contracts as pleases and seems
proper to him. The ruling simply puts
labor on free market.
The eight hour day is well enough.
Most men exhaust their energies in
eight to ten 6 hours active work and
need rest. Perhaps the mass of labor
ers would be better off with the eight
hour day. 1t is also true that thirty
five acres of corn is all that the aver
age farmer is able to cultivate prop
erIy, but those who own their own
farms thru their own earning capacity
have all risen earlier and gone to bed
late that they might care for half as
much again. The workingman's time
belongs to him to dispose of as he sees
fit to the highest bidder. His right to
dispose of it in such installments as
seem to him most profitable is no
more to be limited by law than the
output of factory. He has the right
to sell and deliver the goods.

CHURCH GIVING A PRIVILEGE.
[Clarion Clipper.]
There are all sorts of demands on
our pocket books nowadays. # we
complied with half of them we should
soon become bankrupt. But every
able bodied man should contribute
something of his substance to the sup
port Of some church in his commune
ty, especially if he is, and particularly
if he is not connected with one by
membership. The consistent church
member who gives of himself will
certainly not withhold modicum of
his possessions, and the non member
who has no part in church work
should consider it a privilege to help
toward the support in his own town,
of an institution for which there is
no public appropriation but which is
yet the most ancient, the most honor
able, the most dignified, the most
righteous institution in our midst,
and the greatest, if for no other rea-
