Under this system the California
orchard and vineyard growers are

but we notice that many of our best

through alternate rows, so as TO en-
large the duty in this way. In a
wet season like the present the fre-
Quently recurring showers prove an
auxiliary advantage in practical OPP

Mortified. Sixty-seven wears ago
seeds were scarce and they could get
no more. Finally the girl suggested
they kill the hen, take the seeds out
and replant them. The boy got out

hen. The two then cut open her
craw. took out the seeds. and re-
