KEEP POULTRY IN ORCHARDS
Actual Advantages Not az Great az
Many Would Suppose-SuIted to
the General Farmer.

The fruit and poultry farming Is at.
tractive in some ways. but it's actual
advantages are not so great as many
would suppose.
So far as the fruit Is concerned, the
system Is essentially that of pastur
ing the orchard in sod with hens In
place of sheep or pigs. A pasture sys
tenn of any kind is generally not
thought equal to growing vegetables
and small fruits during the summer
season and sowing the land to crimson
clover, or rye and sand vetch, for
green crops to be plowed down the
following spring. Young trees require
summer culture. Poultry In the
orchard may be allowed when the
trees come into full fruit, and the foil.
age is so dense as to shade the ground
so much as to make the culture OF
vegetables no longer profitable. In
the New England states portable
houses are placed in the orchard and
moved from one location to another
from time to time. This has worked
well In most instances. The orchard
should be securely fenced to. keep the
poultry In and the night providers out.
The combination plan is well suited
to the general farmer, and to the one
who engages in a regular retail bust
ness throughout the year. Rocky
lands and lands that cannot be put un.
der cultivation are well suited for
most all classes of fruit; and the same
land can be used as a pasture for the
hens. The holes for the trees can be
cheaply opened by the use Of dyna-
mite. The cost is said to be not more
than six to eight cents for each hole.

THE Bible is one of the greatest
blessings bestowed by God on the chill
dren Of men. It Is all pure, all sim
cere; nothing too much; nothing want
ing."-John Locke. famous English
philosopher.
The 18th Psalm, the longest and
most perfect Of its kind, is an alpha
betical psalm. Its popularity Is that
in the original Hebrew the first eight
verses begin with the first letter OF
the alphabet; tho next eight verses
with the second letter, and so on
through the % letters of that alpha
bet. In the third chapter OF THE
Lamentations Of jeremiah" we have
a somewhat similar arrangement. But
there the stanzas consist of only three
verses, while here each stanza con-
sists of eight and each verse of two
members. Other instances of this
acrostic arrangement are found in the
psalms.
The subject of the 10th psalm Is
the law Of God considered as the rule
of life. The excellency of this law
is set forth with great fullness, and
the benefit of its observance Is en-
phasized with equal earnestness and
variety of language. 1t Is remarkable
that one subject can be presented in
80 many lights, and from 80 many
points of view as is here done in the
course of 176 verses.
1t was long ago pointed out that
there is only one verse, the one hun
dred and twenty-second, which does
not contain some reference to. or de-
scription OF, the law of God. These
references are made under some one
of ten names. corresponding, II is sup
posed, to the ten words or commands
which make up the decalogue. Verse
los, Thy word is lamp unto my
feet. and light unto my path" re-
minds us that what a torch Is to a
man in a dark night the word OF
God Is in life's night and on life's
journey. II prevents him from STUN.
bling over obstacles which are lying
in his path; 1t enables him to see and
SO to avoid precipices over which he
might fall to certain destruction. The
language is as beautiful rhetorically
as 1t is instructive spiritually.
