And lay my head at rest
In her dear lap; or singing, bring
The fairest fortunes guessed
In all my dreams, to make her glad!
Where Mother is, is best"
God keep her safe among those

OF home, so dear, so blest!

Or long as faiths confessed,
My heart will cry to all the world,

For some time during his life st.
Peter was also in Rome, the capital
of the Roman Empire at the time.
This fact, although so often denied,
is nevertheless certain beyond any
doubt. In his first epistle the Apostle
himself tells US that he was writing
from Babylon, which name, according
to a very general Interpretation,
stands for the city of Rome. Chris
tianity, in the days of the apostles,
had not extended as yet to the distant
eastern city of Babylon st. Clement
of Rome, one of the earliest popes,
whose pontificate still fell within the
first century, connects the death of
st. Peter with the martyrdom of those
Christians who we're executed during
the reign of the cruel Nero: and
hence he admits that the Apostle was
in Rome. st. Ignatius Of Antioch,

The cultivated orchard is more pro-
ductive and consequently more profit
able than the average orchard, which
is neglected or in which grass or hay
is grown, asserts f. S. Merrill, assist
ant in horticulture, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"In the young orchard, however, a
judicious system of intercropping may
be practiced without causing injury to
the trees, and at the same time profit
able crops will be produced in the
saste space between the rows" says
Mr.. Merrill. Sufficient space should

zone of the most familiar types of
intercropping can be found in planting
filters between the permanent trees,
aud often between the rows. The
peach or some type of early maturing
apple can be used for this purpose, but
in most cases the grower will not re-
move the filters until they have at
tanned such size as to have interfered
with the permanent trees. For this
reason the use of trees as an inter-
cropping system should be discour-
aged
"a more successful system of turn
ing to practical account the waste
space may be found by utilizing one of
the cultivated crops, such as potatoes.
In sections where the fruit-growing in
dustry has been well developed the use
Of small fruits has been a successful
practice. Such fruits as the black
berry and the raspberry, however,
cannot be so thoroughly cultivated as
some of the general crops and for this
effect upon the soil.'
An ideal crop is one that does not
utilize the ametype of plant food as

the early part of the season, and does
not conflict with the trees for moisture

RED SPIDERS HARM
YOUR RASPBERRIES
Flowers of Sulphur Is Recon-
mended as Excellent Rem
edy for These Parasites.

By C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
During dry seasons like the present,
great many people complain of the
red spiders or brown mites infesting
their raspberries, currant bushes,
sweet peas, and many other plants,
shrubs and trees. These mites usual
ly are most abundant on the under
side of the leaves and are too small to
be readily seen by the naked eye. If
the red spider is doing the injury, a
very delicate web will always be found
covering the surface Of the leaves.
observation-disclosures of sulphur is,
perhaps, the best remedy, wherever it
can be thoroughly applied to both the
upper and the lower surfaces of the
leaves. Use in the proportion of one
pound of the sulphur to about four
gallons of water. First, mix the sui
phur in small quantity of soapy
water and then dilute to required
strength. Apply through any spray
pump that may be at hand. 1t is just
as well to make the application dry,

Woman'S Winninu Force.

The winning force in woman's life is
first of all, purpOse-a purpose which
carries with it the assent of reason,
the judgment of the mind and the ap-
proval of conscience.
This purpose must be your own
not anOther's. The sOrrowful expert
ences of many women is that they
are always children, with no plan Of
life, no will by which their energies
are to be directed.
Don't drift, but steer. Dare to be
singular. Scorn to degrade yourself
by yielding up Your individuality to
suit the whim OF the worthless.
Now and then a woman stands aside
from the crowd, labors steadfastly and
straightway the world wonders, ad-
mires and crowns the determined
doer, and yet it only illustrates what
a growing and exhaustless force each
woman might become if she took hold
of life with q purpose.
Determine to live for something last
ing. Even goodness fails where there
is no will.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character. You must hammer and
force yourself into one.

able, he contends. Watermelons have
been raised profitably without appar-
ent injury to the growing trees.
After the trees become well grown
and approach the age of profitable
bearing they should not be forced to
compete with other crops for plant
food and moisture. In such an orchard,
where the danger from washing is not
great, a system of clean cultivation
usually will be found most successful.
This will include light blowing or disk
ing in the early spring. This treat
ment aerates the soil, increases the
supply of available plant food, makes
possible the absorption of large
amount of spring rain water, besides
furnishing more favorable medium
for the development of the young
roots.
Keep Weeds Down.
This should be followed by q har-
rowing or cultivation to keep down
weeds, to conserve moisture, and to
aid in the plant development. 1t is not
necessary to cultivate up to the trunks
Of the trees, since the most extensive
feeding roots of a tree are at some
distance from the trunk
An extension disk or harrow that
will allow the operator to stir up the
soil under the ends of the spreading
branches will secure the best results
with the least possible injury. This
cultivation should not be carried on
after the middle of June since at that
time the normal wood development of
the tree should have been completed
and the formation of fruit buds should
be encouraged rather than wood pro-
duction.
A tree that is forced to produce a
large wood growth late in the summer
will not set full crop of fruit buds,
since the heavy fruit and wood produc-
| ton rarely comedies, points out Mr..
Merrill.
A system of clean cultivation, if
practiced continually, may result in
lowering the amount of humus in the
soil. For this reason it is sometimes
necessary to plant cover crop in the
fall that is to be turned under in the
spring or to apply a large quantity of
barnyard manure in the fall or spring.
The first method is to be preferred on
the hillside localities or where there
is probability of blowing or wash
ing of the soil during the winter
months.

thus brusquely emphasized by Hartt

head, apparently meant TO imply that
the subject of their deliberations
really must be reasonable.
Whitaker looked quickly from one
to the other of his three judges,
acutely sensitive to the dread slgnl-
ffcance to be detected in the expression
of each.
Failing to extract the least glimmer-
ing of hope from the attitude of any
one of them, he drew long breath,

"recurrent at intervals constantly

Evidently Bushnell considered the
last word his prerogative.
There was a brief uneasy silence in
the gloomy consulting room. Then
Whitaker rose.
'Wen, how long will you give me?'
he asked in q strained voice.
''Six months" said Greyerson, mis-

ORCHARD CLEANUP
is VERY PROFITABLE
Massachusetts County Agent
Demonstrates What Can Be
Done With Apple Trees.

A county agent in Massachusetts be-
gan, in 1914, a demonstration in the
renovation of some old apple orchards.
The following year from a two-acre
orchard heavily infested with San Jose

lied after paying spray materials, man
and horse labor, per cent interest on
the land, trees, and working capital,
taxes and all other expenses incident
to the proper management of the or
chard.
The net cost of developing young or
chardS in the same county has been
reduced greatly by growing cash crops
among the trees as suggested by the
county agent. In the case of an eight
acre young orchard, the crop so grown
in 1915 met all the costs of the year
properly chargeable, besides paying
for some permanent improvements, and
lacked only $10.89 of paying for the
trees, planting, etc.

ConundrumS.

1t is often said that love is blind,
and, judging by the experience of a
newly married couple, it hasn't much
sense of taste, either.
A few weeks after the wedding a
friend dropped into the bridegroom's
studio and found the artist and his
bride laughing heartily at some joke.
What ever is amusing you so
much?" he asked in amazement.
"Oh, it's been so funny" gurgled
the young wife, as she wiped the
tears Of joy from her eyes. MY hus-
band painted and / cooked this morn

guess what the things were meant

LITTLE ESSAY ON PANTS
Some Very interesting Thoughts on
Those Worn by Male of the
Species.

Pants are of two kinds; human and
dog.
The human pants of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs.
Human pants are worn thicker in
winter and thinner in summer.
The dogs pants come thicker in the
summer.
The dogs lungs are the seat of its
pants. (Date 1875, Hostetter's AL
manac.)
White pants are not garment. They
are business TO themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at much else at the time.

So far as l could find out, they never
had been new.
When they had been first worn out,

they had been patched at all the VEN
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
were connected by other patches.
And sew on.
