these things have been paid for out

Course Of Study.
The curriculum Of study at the In
stitution is based largely on that pre-
scribed by our common free schools.
It may surprise some persons to
know that deaf and dumb children,
who never heard a spoken word or a
sound In their lives, are taught to
talk. The industrial training COM
prfses carpentry, painting. shoemak-
ing and mending. harness making
and mending. printing. baking, sew
ing. embroidery. piano tuning, broom
making, chair Gaming, etc. The phys
ical training Of the children is well
looked after All pupils are taught
70 make their own beds, and to sweep
their dormitories and keep them in
order. They are required to keep
themselves and their clothes clean
and neat. BY no means are their
moral and religious welfare neglected.
A physician is employed by the year
to give all needed medical attention
to the children. There is much less
sickness than would be supposed
among this number of children, many
of whom are very delicate.
Afflicted Should Receive the Benefits.
With all this fine provision for the
care. instruction and welfare OF the
blind and the deaf and dumb youth
of the state, 1t seems a pity that there
should be anyone OF them who should
not be able to receive the benefits
offered by this excellent institution.
Every blind and deaf and dumb youth
in the state, whose parents are not
able to educate it in a private institu-
ton or at its home, should receive
the benefits that the state has pro-
vided for them at this institution.
Especially is this SO when it is con
sidered that it is all free. The state
furnishes boarding, clothing, books.
etc. and even pays the transportation
costs Of pupils to and from the
schools, where the parents are not
able to do So So it is that any blind
or deaf and dumb child in the state,
of sound mind, between the ages of
and 25 years, can take the full
course in the West Virginia schools
for the deaf and blind without its
costing him or his parents a penny.
He may stay there five years at least;
and. If in the opinion of the govern
ing authorities, longer time is re-
CURED for his instruction, the term
is heightened.
Governor Hatfeld's efforts to have
every one of these unfortunate chill
dren Of the state receive the benefits
OF this excellent institution are GER
tainly worthy OF commentator.

Him nor know of His presence; and
His Church will know of His presence
only by His "knock"-the fulfilment of
prophecy. 1t will then be for the
watchful ones to recognize this fulfil
ment, and promptly to acknowledge
the Masters presence.
For such as receive Him He will
make feast. Out of the Divine Word
He will bring things new and old, for
refreshment and comfort. The Bible
will become TO them n new Book.
Many Bible students believe that we
are living in this very time; and that
each faithful follower of Jesus will be
granted the privilege to participate in
this feast, which many tell us they are
now enjoying.
The Great Teacher then intimates
that Satan is master of the present or
der of earthly things; and that at His
Second Coming Jesus will bind this
strong man, overturn present institu-
lions and establish the Compromised
Reign of Righteousness. This thorough
transition will cause the great Time of
Trouble mentioned throughout the Bi-
BILE as closing this Gospel Age.-Daniel
12:1; Mark 1873; Matthew 24:21.
Jesus speaks of His Second Coming
as thief-like The thought is that He
will be present for n time unobserved
by the world. known only to the Bride
class, whom He will remove-changing
them from earthly nature to Heavenly.

but merely assured him that at the
appropriate time the Lord would APP

to give them food in due season This
IS not very different from the Lords
usual method of dealing with His fam
lily.
For instance. st. Peter apparently
was a leader amongst the Apostles, in
opening the Pentecostal door. and later
in opening the door to the Gentiles-
preaching to Cornelius, the first Gen
tile convert. Later on. the Lord seems
to have chosen st. Paul to be His par

Moses, the Prophets. and others dur

Famous Orchards

FHE Country Gentleman of July
18th, in describing the famous
Congdon Orchards of Washington,
has the following interesting data con
cerning them:
"Two hundre and six miles of tree
rows, with $4,000 apple and pear trees,
20 feet apart, make up the Congdon
Orchards, said to be the largest in
Washington and the largest under irri-
cation in the United States. They con
tain $50 acres and are the property
of Chester A. Congdon, Minnesota at
torney The Congdon Orchards are a
milllon-dollar proposition. 1t is esti-
mated that in few years they will
produce 400 carloads of selected fruit.
Figure G30 boxes to car, get the net
profit for any year on each box, take
the total as $ per cent of the value
and the result is the commercial value
Of the orchards.
The real value is more than that,
however. This is an experimental farm,
nursery and a country estate. One
tract contains two trees each of 100
kinds of fruits and nuts. There are
2,400 shade and ornamental trees each.
lining five miles and half of drive
ways. Aside from the two old family
orchards that were on the tract when
Mr.. Congdon bought it the oldest trees
are seven years, most of them three
years old. Fifteen carloads of fruit
were harvested in 1912. In 1918,
Goo,0Oo apples and pears will be han

''fhls year our Bartlett pears are

the cold storage just long enough to
pack and are Immediately replaced in
the cold room at temperature that

Pears will be loaded direct from the
cold storage room into the led ccrs
BY handling our pears in this manner
it seems to us that they should reach
their destination in almost perfect con

the pears ripen somewhat in transit. -
1t is this attention to details that
the North ,cstern grower can well emu
late to his ultimate success.

GEESE IN THE ORCHARDS.

1T HAS been discovered that geese
in an orchard are useful because
they tevour the waste fruits, gen
orally full of worms and hatcheries
for another generation of pests. This
seems to have been first discovered
in Canada where the wild geese from
the lakes and rivers entering the orch
ards cleaned up the waste fruits and
it was found that in these orchards
there were fewer pests than in the
orchards of adjacent communities
where these geese did not enter. Later
the experiment Of growing tame geese
in the orchards of Ohio and certain
other sections was successful, not only
on account of the work they did in
the orchards but on account of the
profit yielded in the sale of feathers
and meat. Geese are easily grown,
and the young are not nearly SO ten
der and Likely to die as chickens. Be-
aides, they yield good profits and do
less damage to trees than swine, which
are often used in the orchards for the
same purpose. However, in the irri-
gated sections they would during the
season in which irrigatio.. is practiced
greatly interfere with the bitches and
would from this view point be oh.
fashionable.

FORTHCOMING IN AUSTRALIA.

THERE is probably nothing more re-
] markable in these days of rapid
progress than the amazing develop
ment of the Island Continent of Aus
tralia.
The development of an active irriga-
tion policy has brought about new era
of closer settlement. The advancement
of the country along these two lines,
fruitgrowing and irrigation, is capably
dealt with in a bright, well-illustrated
magazine, 1.-The Fruit World (Aus-
tralia).
Australia is termed ''The Pride of
the Southern Hemisphere - The fruits
produced include apples, pears, peaches,
apricots, plums, cherries, loquats, straw
berries, and, in tho warmer zones,
oranges, grapes, bananas, pineapples,
mangoes, figs, etc. The area of the
fruit and market gardens amounts to
S24,93l acres, to the value of $21,557.-
$40. The biggest developments in irri
CATION have SO far taken place in Vie
toria, with New South v ales and South
Australia following
The state of Victoria has spent 1925
100000 on irrigation works. In the
state of New South Wales the Burrin-
juck dam, one of the asterpieces of
the world S engineering, provides stor-
age for $4,000, 100000 cubic feet, or a
volume of water about equal to that
contained in Sydney harbor. The state
of South Australia contemplates locking

has promised to inaugurate if suffi
cient counties respond Justify the
time and expense.
"The tendency would be to cause in
creased efficiency on the part of the
inspectors and unite the horticultural
interests more Closely said Mr.. Rob
erts. "The course would touch upon
all subjects pertinent to the fruit
growing industry, with reference to our
own locality, also touching upon all
phases of the cultures of the fruit from
the time of bloom until full develop
ment, together with data on picking,
grading, packing, etc.
"The fruit interests, including grow
ers, shippers and dealers, will welcome
such steps, said A. p Bateham, vice
president of the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange, when asked his opinion.
1.-The interests as a whole should be
unanimous in their APPROVAL because in
creased efficiency in inspectors will
cause increased efficiency of all con,
cerned. The county courts will see the
wisdom of complying with this request,
it is hoped. -

nY MAKING a succession of seeding
p of the peas, lettuce, radishes and
beans these vegetables will be pro
vided throughout the summer and fall
season.
Give the garden thorough cultivation.
1t should receive as much attention as
any cultivated crop on the farm. Above
all things do not put off the care of the
garden for rainy days.
Why not give the children a small
garden patch that they can care for
their very own; let them cultivate and
care for the vegetables and flowers,
and finally let them sell the produce.
The children S garden will teach obser
walton, industry and responsibility.
Better results will come from trans
planting vegetables into the garden if
lit is done on cloudy day.
Keep the tools bright and in good
working order. When through with
them place under cover. Build cup
board in the woodshed, on the back
porch or in the carriage house for the
garden tools.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in covering seed properly The tend
ency is to cover too deeply. Such
crops as onions, squash, parsnips and
lima beans push up the shells of the
seed itself and find it difficult to force
their way through very great depth
of earth after it is packed down by
rains.
Give plants in the garden a chance
to grow. Plenty of room and fertility
is what is needed
After rains, when the crust begins
to form, stir the soil.
Mildew may be reached by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture.
Never plant bush Lima beans closer
than two feet apart in the rows.
Green beans and peas may be had all
through the summer and fall if seed is
sown at different intervals.
After the asparagus season is passed,
remove the weeds, stir the soil and give
the bed coating of well-rotted manure.
Pole beans and peas should be staked
and the ground around them loosened
with a hoe, Drain the loosened earth
toward the rows, hilling them up.

squash,
And all the beets turned red.

" Your love I cannot be;
The pumpkin be your wife
You cantaloupe with me. +"
But onward still the tuber came,
And lay down at Der feet;
"You cauliflower by any name
And it will smell as wheat;
And !, too, am in an early rose,
And you I've come to see;
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me.
"I do not carrot at all to wed,
So 60, sir, if you pleased"
The modest onion meekly said,
"And lettuce, pray, have peasl
Go, think you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden have been
For favors in your rye!"
"Ah, spare cussl" the tuber prayed;
"My cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That currant now with me-"
And as the willy tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise,
And, giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.
