Children are the keys of Paradise;
They alone are good and wise,
Because their thoughts, their very lives
are prayer. -[R. III. Stoddard.
Be what thou seemest; live thy creed.
Hold up to earth the torch divine;
Be what thou prayest to be made;
Let the great Masters steps be Thine.
-[Ioratio Bonar.
The stars that high in heaven their
courses run,
In glory differ but their light is one.
The beacons cleaning DER the sea of life
Are rivals but in radiance, not in strife.
Shine on, we sister-towers, across the
night!
too will build lasting home for light.
Henry van Dyke.
Oh, could we read the hearts Of those
About us, know their hidden woes
The secret sources of despair,
The birth and burden of their prayer;
See thrown about their lives the mesh
OF pain from thorns within the flesh,
Our charity would lend the grace
OF goodness to every face.

Tho Profitable old Orchard.

ne ProntAb1e OIo OfchAFo.
Here and there is to be found
profitable old orchard. We are sorry
to say that many of the old orchards
about the country are anything but
profitable. In the main the people
that have the example of an old un.
productive orchard before them re-
gard 1t as an illustration of the un-
profitableness of orchards rather than
Of the unskillfulness OF the man that
happens to own it.
There is a belief with the amateur
orchardlst that to plant tree is the
chief effort required and that the ap-
Pile tree is so hardy that it will sur
vive In spite Of almost any condi.
tons. The fact is that the man that
attempts to plant an orchard and keep
1t alive for lifetime has q great
many things against him. At Mis-
souri, institute one speaker said: with
in four miles of our place there are
five twenty-acre orchards planted in
the spring of 1883. Three have been
In timothy sod and moved. One has
been in clover and moved, and the
other is in weeds. These five or
chards have never paid the interest
on the land and under present treat
ment are not likely to do So"
The old orchard that is thrifty and
productive has had care. and it would
be interesting to study some of the
orchards Of this kind and to inquire
into their history. 1t would be found
that they had been cultivated. fer.
tilted and pruned. 1t would be inter.
esting to inquire into the history of
the old ragged unproductive orchards
Their story would, however, be a
short one-"the short and simple an
nails Of the poor" 1t would be found
that they had been left to care for
themselves, while the owner was get
ting all he could from the land in
other crops.
The old productive orchard has
generally been cultivated for good
many years. Often 1t has been
sprayed to keep OF the fungi that
are 80 destructive to bark and leaf
When the caterpillars began to strip
OF the foliage they were destroyed.
Lastly. 1t was pruned. Some of the
old trees that are unproductive are
SO because they carry too much wood.
The Meeker herald., 1905-01-21
Protection Against Weeds.

Iowa had unique case which was
carried to the Supreme Court and
which involved the interests Of farm
ers. 1t grew out Of an injunction
sought by one farmer to restrain a
neighboring farmer from allowing his
farm to run to cookie burrs, which
would seed themselves on the adjoin-
ing land, as he had been doing for
four years previous. The Supreme
Court held that a suit for damages
offered the only remedy open to the
plaintiff. The suit would appear 90
make plain the urgent need of
noxious weed law In Iowa, by which
good farmers could punish the siEs
of slovenly farmers from which they
suffered. The common good has fur
nished reason enough for strong re-
straining legislation in many Of the
states. For instance. in California.
orchardists are required by law 10
spray with insecticides or use other
methods of keeping down fruit enc
mics, because otherwise there Is no
protection. the spraying Of the few be-
ing ineffective. Iowa farmers need to
wake up to their interests and have
a weed law passed that will safeguard
the fields of careful husbandmen.
The Meeker herald., 1905-01-21
More Milk for the Hens.

Too little care Is taken in seeing
that the hens have good supply OF
milk. The hens are made to drink
mostly water. and now and then a pan
of milk is taken out to them. Some
times the busy housewife forgets to
do this and sometimes 1t is a week or
a month between drinks. The skim
milk will not be given regularly unless
some arrangement is made to that
effect. 1t is best to have the fowls
consume as much milk as possible, for
the reason that on most Of our farms
corn is the great grain feed and the
milk Is a good balancer for this. The
milk is rich in protein and the corn
in carbohydrates. The two Offset each
other. When more sour milk accumu-
lates than can be disposed Of in any
way while 1t is In bulk, it should be
made into soft curd and given the
hens In that way. The fowls will not
then be compelled to consume large
amount of water to get little casein.
The testimony of those that have fed
milk largely is that it has stimulated
laying, especially in the winter when
the fowls are generally shut up to
Soih Al LIZ SuHuleI WHcA
green grass and other vegetables and
insects are obtainable the milk is very
much less of a factor than In the win
ter time.
On very many of our farms skim
milk is very abunadnt, and could be
fed to the fowls daily SO far as the
material itself is concerned. The only
question is that of labor. Skimmilk

to renew the supply often in the cold

Of doing than to warm the milk to
about 100 degrees. At that tempera-

fowls to drink, but will be some time
in cooling off. 1t should, Of course. DO

Hardy Plants.

In all parts Of the country an eff.
fort is being made to produce hardy
plants. In some cases this hardness
consists in being able to Withstand.
cold, in other parts of the country 1t
means the ability to Withstand drouth,
and in yet other places the ability to
grow in spite of the fierce rays of the
summer sun. So the men that have
undertaken the task of developing
hardy plants have some extremely
hard problems to solve.
The work is being prosecuted along
several lines. One is to select plants
from hardy plants and to continue to
select those that show increased
hardness. Some progress is being
made In this line, but not so much
method is to cross very good va
riety with an inferior one that has
hardness in an extraordinary degree.
Thus the wild crab apple, which grows
even north of the Canadian line in
Manitoba, Is being crossed with the
finer varieties Of apples thousand
miles to the south. From this cross
seeds are planted and then selection
begins of the trees that bear the best
fruit and yet show hardness. In
either case it will be observed that
hardy variety must be selected as
a starting point.
Already much has been accom-
plished and hardy varieties Of plants
are being grown much further north
than 1t was thought to be possible
twenty years ago. 1t is difficult, how.
ever, to say Just what constitutes
hardness in plants. and 1t frequently
happens that a plant that seemed to
be hardy at first proves not to be
hardy when given a longer trial.
In good many cases the apparent
ly increased hardness is due to late
ness Of blooming in the spring, the
blossoms opening after the frosts
have passed. A variety that is late
in blooming can be grown much fur.
Their north than one that opens early.
Observations along this line give great
promise of success.

Fruit Giuts.

Whenever there is glut in the
fruit market it is caused by one of
two things, an over-supply of fruit
that is of such perishable nature
that 1t will have to be disposed of at
once. or sending fruit to a market al
ready over-supplied, while other mar.
kets are left with too little fruit in
them. This latter is more often the
cause Of gluts. There are fifty thou.
sand markets for fruit In the United
States, including cities and villages.
The fruit is shipped to them hit-or.
miss, and many Of them are missed.
The few markets that have a good
reputation receive too large consign.
ments. 1t is evident that we will not
have cure for this evil till we can
get fruit shipping down to some sort
Of a system.
Such a system would require daily
report as to the amount OF fruit in
each place and probable demand. The
fruit shippers would have to be SO
closely in touch that certain ones
could be directed to ship to certain
places and others to other places.
This would of course necessitate the
fixing of the prices to be paid, else
all would refuse to ship to the low.
priced markets.
