A Highly Profitable Orchard 
The demand for good fruit is ever increasing at highly 
profitable prices; nothing else on the farm brings such 
great returns per acre. Fruit trees in comparison 
with other crops require little time and can be grown 
by anyone who follows the instructions we furnish. 
We maintain permanently a force of reliable and 
practical me a who by experience have become expert 
in this line; these men assist our customers in getting 
the greatest profits from their orchards. They tell 
you what fruit trees are best adapted to your soil and 
climate; they tell you what varieties can be grown 
successfully in your locality; how far apart to plant 
the trees; how to care for them and their cost; they 
tell you everything you ought to know about plant¬ 
ing for profit or home use. 
Our Trees, Shrubs, Vines 
and Flowers

there is little chance for migratory birds 
to profit by State law. They must be given 
protection uniformly throughout their en¬ 
tire range if their race is to be spared. At 
length it became clear to bird protectionists 
that this happy end could be accomplished 
only by Federal action, and now after nine 
years of labor and campaigning in Wash¬ 
ington a law at last has been passed which 
it is generally believed means a brighter 
day for the persecuted water fowl and 
shore birds. The McLean bill, which 
passed Congress last winter, and which 
was signed by President Taft on March 
4, 1913, has this for its object. By the 
provisions of this measure the United 
States Agricultural Department is in¬ 
structed to prepare regulations prescribing 
times and seasons when migratory birds 
may be taken. These regulations have 
been drawn, and we are told they will be 
presented to President Wilson for his sig¬ 
nature on the first day of October. Should 
he approve of the measures as now pre¬ 
sented, we may expect soon to see our 
migratory game birds enjoying a season 
of protection to an extent hitherto un¬ 
known for many a long year. It was a 
serious matter for the pot hunter and a 
glad day for the wild birds when the 
United States Government took in hand 
the feathered wards of the nation. Now 
if the resolution recently passed by Con¬ 
gress calling for a treaty with Canada and 
Mexico on the subject bears fruit, we may 
before long see one wise general law cov¬ 
ering the killing of migratory birds 
throughout the North American Conti¬ 
nent.

border, such as can be bought by the yard 
in any dry goods shop. The unbleached 
muslin thus served the functions of hang¬ 
ings, curtains and shades, and further¬ 
more did not look out of place with the 
handsome old mahogany. Some time, 
when circumstances permit, they will be 
replaced by far more costly hangings. 
This exemplifies the advice given at an 
earlier point. 
To return now to our northern living- 
room. In a room with a fireplace one nat¬ 
urally starts there in the arrangement of 
the furniture. No better starting point can 
be found, for it supplies the central point 
of home life. Directly in front of the 
fireplace and facing it, or else at the side 
of it extending lengthwise into the room, 
set a large comfortable sofa. Somewhere 
in close proximity social instinct will sug¬ 
gest a tea table or a tea wagon. At the 
hack of the sofa, and close against it, it 
will often be found convenient to place an 
oblong library table or table desk on which

change in construction (with in¬

right by five years of successful use.
