CARE or ORCHARDS.

We have found out from practical
experience in the care Of an orchard
that not very much reliance can be
placed in the statement OF some or
chardists to sthe effect that the root
borer will not bother the tree after it
has attained an age of seven or eight
years and the bark gets rough. An
inspection Of our orchard not long
since shows almost as many Of the
borers at work in the larger as In the
smaller trees. The only safe way in
the care of the orchard is to keep the
grass hoed away from the trunk, the
Waterspouts cut. and to give the trees
a careful inspection at least twice dur
ing the season Thousands Of trees
die every year from supposed sun
scald, blight or arboreal heart failure,
when the only thing under the sun that
ails them is that three or four lusty
borers are eating their very vitals out
under the outside bark and just be
meath or above the surface Of the
ground. If you have an orchard,
whatever it's size, look the trees over
and dig these chaps out

little fiye-yearold made garden
all by herself last spring. 1t was lit
tie patch about eight feet square out
back Of the house, and into it the tiny
fingers scattered beans and radish
seeds. AS this was the child's first ex-
perience, she watched impatiently for
the first green leaves and tendrils to
appear. At last she was rewarded.
The garden sprang Up and fourlshed,
and the child was happy, but one day
she went with her mother to visit a
friend. While there the child saw a
beautiful garden, with long, even,
clean, straight rows. She was i'm
pressed and compared it with her
own garden. With disappointment in
her blue eyes, she looked up to her
mother and said, Mamma, / didn't
know that the rows ought to be
straight The child's garden is a tan

no more. A little direction at first
would have saved the day, and there

SALVATION OF RUSSIA.

An even superficial study Of Russian
conditions proves beyond doubt that
the people of the cars domain are.
suffering more from dfsordered and
disadyantag eous economic conditions
abject want and starvation than from
a denial Of political, social and II 81
gious privileges. And yet history shows
that the fight for the ballot has usually
been a fofarunner or accompaniment
in the struggle for bread. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
shortly after the people We're granted a
representative assembly the Russian
government has taken under .considera-
ton the setting aside of some $1,000,
0o0 for the immediate relief of desti-
tute peasants, and what is Of more
vital and lasting value has in view a
division Of portions of the imperiaKand
feudal domains among the farmers and
laboring people Of the empire. The
salvation Of Russia in her present
crisis depends more upon giving all her
people work at remuneratiye wages
either in factories or upon the SOIL
than upon any other single factor Pc
litical rights are bound to accompany
economic independence, just as truly
as that poverty and ignorance are the
handmaidens Of tyranny and despot-
ism
