Back Yard Orchard Sure to
Bring as Good Returns as
Does the Vegetable Garden

The back yard orchard will make as
lily rs does the vegetable garden itself,
Everyone who puts out a garden can
just as well be growing a small home
orchard in it, according to J. c. Whit
ten Of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. The cultivation
given the vegetables is just what is
required by the young trees.
Select apples, cherries, plums,
peaches and pears of varieties that
will furnish succession from the
early Richmond cherry. which ripens
In May to the late-keeping apples, like
Ingram and Lansingburg, which keep
until the following May. One tree Of
each variety is enough.
Apple trees should be planted % to
so feet apart each way, and plum and
peach trees 1G to 20 feet apart. One
year-old trees should be selected for
planting, although in the case of the
apple, sour cherry and pear two-year-
old trees will usually transplant sue
cessfully If they have not grown too
large. The trees may be planted either
In fall or spring. They should be set
just about as deep as they stood In the
nursery. AS soon as they are planted
the tops should be pruned back some
what.
Fruit trees should be given as thor
ough cultivation as corn or vegetables,
at least until they reach bearing age.
Any kind of garden vegetables, or
strawberries, or other small fruits,
may be grown between the tree rows.
Il rank-growing crop like corn grows
higher than the trees one row should
be left out, preferably north and south,
in the tree row, so that the fruit trees
will not be shaded until they are well
established. Low-grOwing vegetables
or berries may be planted as close to
the trees as desired.

POULTRY HOUSE

In building the poultry house ar

The front should then have four-foot
curtains along the front and this Will
allow an abundance of sunshine to
strike oil portions of the house. Also
have the windows about two feet down
from the top Of the house.
One of the causes of disease in the
poultry house is damp litter. Ii Is
expensive to change the litter often
and for this reason as much sunshine
as possible should be allowed to enter

Geese Serve as Watch Dog
of the Home; Are Reliable
as the Family Alarm Clock

No domesticated birds are so faith
full, so interesting, so intelligent as
geese. They revel in the society of
those who own them. In remote parts
of Ireland and Scotland the geese
share the family hearth. This Is one
of their strongest characteristics.
They love to pass the night near the
homestead. They do not need a
warm, comfortable building to sleep
in; they are quite contented, happy,
and healthy if allowed to sit down
outside the back door. They are light
sleepers. A stranger cannot approach
within Il hundred yards or so without
their hearing him and screaming at
the tops of their shrill voices.
They will often wander a few miles
during the day. but they will faith
fully return in the evening. You Will
find them punctual. They will time
themselves to be back just as daylight
is failing. and ut the hour ut which
you generally get up in the morning
they will see to it that you are called.
They will knock ut the door, and at
the windows too If they can reach
them, and every few minutes they
will scream. They are as reliable as
an alarm clock.

Sun the Universal Clock.
But 1t Was Always Wrong

From the beginning the sun was the
universal clock, and the universal clock
was always wrong-that Is to say,
twelve o'clock today was not exactly
the same as twelve o'clock yesterday.
But the sun had to serve as clock to
most people until little more than a
hundred and fifty years ago, when pub
lie clocks took the place Of sun dials
and watches began to be comparative
ly common. Doubtless one of the
earliest forms of getting somewhere
near the hour was by length OF shadow,
an upright stick or spear, or even the
erect form of the time teller himself
serving rs natural gnomon. Even
today, all over the far East, the only
clocks In many, and, indeed. in most
places, Is the shadow which is OBJ
tanned after one or other of these
methods.

Creed That May Well Be
Applied in Life Each Day

To live content with small means :
To seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion :
To be worthy, not respectable,
wealthy, not rich: To study hard, think
quietly, talk gently, act frankly. To
listen to stars and birds, to babes and
sages, with open heart: To bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await occa-
sions. hurry never: In word, to let
the spiritual, unbidden and uncon-
scious, grow up through the common.

that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from. which 80 many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres-

liquid and tablet form by druggists every
