Youno Trees In Orchards.

Young trees planted in an old or
chard very seldom give satisfaction.
This is largely for the reason that
young trees need different care from
old ones, and also because the young
trees will hardly receive as much sun
shine as they should because of the
shade they will get from the older
trees.

But the next day rain came down in

into his pocket; lit his big calabash

across the fields surrounding the avia-
