on and it drew near train time the
poor, unfortunate young man. under
cover of the darkness, sought the
train, and hid himself away back in q
dim corner, where he nursed his dis
appointment and chagrin.
Now and again he could hear the
laughter of the merry crowd in the

Sheep in the Orchard.

II the trees are protected by some
means, sheep are as useful for picking
up fallen fruit as pigs are, perhaps
more so. They are on hand when an
apple falls. while the hogs may be
asleep in the shade. The apple ought
to be devoured promptly before the
worm has had time to crawl out. It is
nearly ready to do SO before the apple
falls, and does not lost much time af-
forwards This will suggest the inn
portance of prompt action If the cod
ding moth is to be kept down. Give
the animals a chance at the little fruit
that falls early, and SO dispose Of the
greater part of the insect crop. BY
these means the number Of the moths
can be greatly reduced. but the fight
