HORTICULTURE IS PROFITABLE.

II is interesting to note In an inter.
mountain farm journal that Colorado,
Oregon and Washington orchards
change hands at from $500 to el,500
per acre. In the same publication are
figures showing that the cost Of set
ting out and tending an orchard until
the sixth year, when fair production
begins, averages about s27 yearly, or
sl35 for the whole time of unproduc.
tiveness. This includes the cost Of
trees and all work incident to planting
aud proper care.
Considering the fact that during the
first five years an excellent crop Of one
kind or another may be raised between
the rows OF trees. and that a fair yield
OF apples In the sixth year at even
10 cents a bushel will very near. pay
the entire cost Of lie orchard, 1t
would appear that fruit growing offers
inducements not held out along other
lines OF investments.

when we consider this everlasting

He Knew How.

A telephone company was erecting
line of poles along a highway just
out OF Haverhill, in Massachusetts.
One of the men engaged to fill in the
dirt and clear up around the poles was
an lrishman, new both to the job and
to America. He had not got beyond
his first pole, but stood pondering how
to dispose of the dirt which had filled
the space now occupied by the pole.
Just then a negro wayfarer stopped
for a match, and the Irishman asked
his advice.
The darky grinned, seeing an oppor-
tunty TO work off the old joke. "Ef
