The best orchardists are averse to
growing anything in the orchards but
the trees even when the latter are
young. They argue, and properly, that
the growing trees need all the virtue
there is in the soil and that If the ap-
pie crops in future years ere to be OF
any value they must be provided for
during the earlier years Of the trees
There are fruit growers, on the other
hand, who insist that a hocd crop will
be of benefit to the trees, and thai this
may be consireded so under certain
conditions and up to certain limits.
If the soil in the orchard is kept up
to the highest state of fertility so Il n
the trees will not suffer the want or
the portion Of the fertilizer taken by
the hoed crop, then the latter can do
no harm, indeed, it will be of value
because the soil will receive a certain
amount Of cultivation which, perhaps
would not be given it If it were not
for the hoed crop. Work the hoed
crop in the orchard cautiously. and
watch the effect on the trees.

Butter men may well find food for
thought in the figures showing the big
Increase in the oleo output for the last
six months of the past year, says the
American Cultivator. There was an
average gain of more than a million
pounds a month as compared with the
same period Of the preceding year. The
figures include both colored and TN
colored cleo. and the relative gain in
many dairymen that the product final

increasing to an enormous extent. The
present high price of butter is, of
course. a stimulus to the bogus but

| able dream. He had been commits
stoned some time before it seemed TO
carve the figure Of a woman listening.
The statue was to go in the hall Of a
great musician. Before attempting
anything in marble he decided to work
out his idea in ONE softer material,
and consequently had a huge block of
chalk brought to the work room. Foul
ards vision of which he had told me
previous to my matutinal visit was
that he had seen wildly in a dream the
features Of the statue he was about to
carve. Not only had he seen the fea-
and poise of the body We're all deeply
stamped upon his mind.

as he saw me
He must have worked all night. The
result of his labor was marvellous, and,
If one had not known the nature Of the
material, absolutely incredible. A trife
over life-siZe the statue stood, showing
a pure white against the dark back
ground Of curtained walls. The face
was outlined, the sweet contours of
arms and hands nearly finished, the
sweeping, enchanting curves of shout
ders and breast practically done. The
chalk was not 20 keen as marble, of
course it had no sheen, but the softer,
gentler effect was, in truth, very pleas
ing. Foulard had beer wonderfully
successful in carrying out the idea, SO
far; already the cold, lifeless chalk ex-
pressed his thought in a great degree.
He was joyous with the ease of his
work and It's gradual elimination of
delight pleased him greatly.
"One I finish this to my liking, old
boy" he chatted, "the real labor at the
marble will be comparatively easy I; it
will be more a process of copying,
eliminating errors, and accommodating
good points than anything else. I am
Just going to complete this right arm
and hand, then to retonch the face-as
much as l dare"
"Shan 1 interrupt you?" I queried,
feeling that he was in one of his tense
moods, strung up to concert pitch like
q fine instrument.

what you like. Have a cigarY"

ersconced myself cozily in an easy
chair with a new magazine. We ex-
changed a few desultory remarks, then,
Foulard went back to his work and 1
kept silence, feeling that he would be
better at ease without my chatter. He
was whistling softly to himself. The
only other sounds were the dull blows
and scrapes of his chisels on the chalk,
and the soft c%runching as now and then
he stepped on the surrounding frag-
ments.
Suddenly there came a startled cry.

Pig. Do Wen ON Alfalfa.

When your pigs weigh about fifty
pounds each, turn about twenty-five
head in an acre of alfalfa pasture and
they will make a gain Of about 100
pounds each during the growing season,
says an Indiana farmer. They will
need no other feed, but can be given a
supplementary feed of grain If you
wish the gain to be better. From this
you can figure up a fine return for the
use of an acre Of alfalfa-2,5OO pounds
Of pork, worth at the low figure Of 81
per 100 pounds, 500. But prices are
much higher O and You can get
more for your pork. Again your hogs
will almost always be free from any
disease.

shape Of Ideal Dairy COW.

Whether she be a Holstein, a Jer-
sey or whatever she may be, you will
find the typical dairy cow with bony
head and strong jaw, long between the
eyes and nose, with broad muzzle. She
should have a bright, protruding eye,
which means strong nerve force and
action later On. She should have a
thin neck and retreating brisket. The
lines above and below must not be
straight, or she will steal from you.
She should be slightly depressed be-
hind the shoulders with a sharp chine
too straight a backbone. She
must have large organs of reproduction
and large heart girth, wide between
fore legs and sharp on shoulders,
which gives large heart action and
strong arterial circulation. And last.
but by no a least, she must have
a good udder, for one-half the value
OF a COW is in her udder, which should
be long from front to rear.

Harrow without Tongue.

A correspondent Of n farm paper,
who was not well satisfied with his
disk harrow while it had the tongue on
1t, thus tells how he improved it:
1 have been using my disk harrow
without a tongue, OF rather, I cut the
tongue off just ahead Of the evener.
I find that this is very much more
satisfactory than to use with the
tongue; in turning all the horses help
turn the harrow instead Of the two
pole horses having to pry 1t around by
the pole. In addition to this. 1t takes
the weight off Of the horses necks
