soon became very much interested.
My little girl OF Ave years OF age had
been troubled for a long time with
loss Of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run.
down and in very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensively written. and told OF the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments OF the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which is
so hard for children to take.
Just the thing, saidI, for my little

near Medford, In the Rogue river valley,
In southern Oregon, having tried all
OF these plans and failed. decided that
what was needed most In his orchard
TO keep the blossoms from freez-
ing was just plain heat. 30 he bulk
some fifty small fires of fir cord wool
In about nine acres nights when the
thermometer dropped to the danger
point and by this means succeeded In
keeping the temperature up some II
degrees The fuel and labor cost per
night of this protection was SO, or
about So cents per acre. An interest.
Ing feature OF this case is the fact
that the fires which were kept burn.
ing In this orchard saved the blossoms
In orchards on three adjoining sides
from three TO Eve rows back from the

was paid for his pains Is shown IN the
fact that there are now hanging Oh his
