the most attractive way for him to get

PLANT tree, John. 1t will grow while

good gospel.
First, he carefully studied the litera.
ture on the subject. He found that
orchard growing is one of the most
highly specialized branches of agri-
culture. and that the government bulN
letins were full of valuable informa-
tion for the fruit grower. The line of
least resistance led him to one of the
irrigated districts in the west What
he has accomplished in three years is
best told by Mr.. Howell himself.
Il purchased 20 acres of sage brush,
or raw land with water rights. A
10-acre orchard is considered enough
for one man to care for, but | Sc
cured a double portion with the in
tention of selling 10 acres when the
orchard came into bearing condition.
The land was cleared by cutting the
sage brush with grub hoe, and piling
the brush for burning The cost of
clearing was three dollars per acre.
"IrS April had the first 10-acre plat

apples, were set in rows 20 feet
apart each way. Elberta peach trees
were used as filters, Alternate rows
of the two varieties of apples were
planted SO as to form the diagonal
rows with the Winesaps.
AS peach trees are short lived, it is
expected that they will be removed
within ten years. The apples stand %

PAINFUL ECZEMA ON HANDS

Bienville. La,-'I was troubled with
eczema in my hands for several years.
The skin would break and look like
it had been cut with knife and my

heal little and then they would get
worse than ever again. They were
very painful. The eczema got to

PROFITABLE LIFE
OF A PEACH TREE
Thorough Cultivation More Es-
sential Than Pruning-KilI
Out Insect Pests.

1t is claimed that the most profit
able life of the peach-tree is from four
to eight years. From a peach census
taken in Orange county, New York, it
seems that thorough cultivation is
more essential than pruning or spray
ing.
When cultivating the plum or cher
ry orchard, the work must be done
shallow, so that no roots may be bro
ken, for broken roots will send up
shoots that sap the life from the
trees.
An old fruit grower says that the
pick is the best tool he ever used
around apple trees, when the ground
has become too hard. He sinks the
pick or 10 inches into the soil and
merely prizes the dirt loose, and does
not disturb the roots in this way.
Do not prune too closely. Pruning
may be done anytime in winter or
early spring, but the wounds should
be covered at once with paint. An
old tree bleeds freely, and will suffer
if there are large number of wounds
on it,
Diseased wood on a tree can never
be made new again. Cut it off and al.
low another shoot to grow. Every
day that such wood remains on a tree
adds to the liability of losing 1t.
1t is an excellent plan to white
wash the trees. filling the cracks in
the bark with lime, SO as to fill up
many hiding places of fruit pests, as
well as to destroy many which are in
hiding

remaining trees will be 40 feet apart.
In making the plat the rows were
lettered along one side of the orchard
and numbered along the other. Thus,
each tree can be designated as BID,
Alb, etc, and a record kept very easily
of its history.
eThree irrtgations per season are
necessary, and each requires about
two weeks time. The irrigation canal
runs along one side of the orchard and
numerous small bitches carry the
water to the trees. Corn, potatoes,
onions and alfalfa have been raised
each season. Alfalfa yields three cut
tings.
THE second orchard Of 10 acres
was set out the next year with Wine
sap and Jonathan trees without any
peach filters. The first orchard con-
tains 1876 Rome Beauty, IT'S Winsaps,
and $50 Jonathans, and the 500 FL
berta peach filters. The second orchard
has $50 Jonathans, $50 Winesaps and
300 Rome Beauties. A family orchard

also set out the first year: Snow
apples, Early Harvest. Red June,
Maiden's Blush. Rambo, Roxbury Rus

Wagner. A few fancy peaches, plums,
prunes. pears and apricots have been
added.
THE growth of the entire orchard
has been most excellent. Only a few
-, of the trees have had to be replaced.
A single apple-a Jonathan-was
produced the second season. The
third season we had two bushels of
apples and 10 bushels of peaches.

MOTIVES TO PRAYER
Fellowship With God, Trust in
Him anG a Comfort in His
Presence.

A man of colossal fortune, about to |
sail from New York to the foreign
country where he has his summer

of religion, and with perfect candor
replied: II have never felt the need

Another man of no great fortune,
but of exalted reputation for learn

a friend came to him and asked him
how he felt. He answered, II am
very weak and in great pain. but can
still pray. and that is much"
