Teachers' Leaflet. 569 



To give an idea of conjunction of different events, I have heard it said that if 

 the river Neva should have its greatest flood at the time of the highest tide of the 

 year, and the strongest north wind ever known, the city of St. Petersburgh would 

 be inundated. 



I find that in my fruit orchard spraying is a necessity. If I fail to do it at 

 the right time or not in the right way — leave out either or both — my work goes 

 for naught. 



The humble woman with the commendable garden will be rewarded for her 

 labors as long as conditions are normal. Her recipe stands her in good stead then 

 but when conditions are abnormal my friend the teacher will have the advantage 

 in knowing the why, for the reason she will know how to modify her methods to 

 the changed conditions.
