God gives to each a share of sorrow, God gives to each a share of joy, We need not fret thou for the morrow For unknown things we need not sigh; But be content with what llo gives us Nor plno for things he does not give, Only trusting In His promise, His servant He will never leave. The depth of love, we cannot fathom, As we praiso Hlra In our song; Yet, we see Him bruised and bleeding, As on tho cruel cross He hung. Lot ns think how much God loves us, That Ills only son Ho. gave That we though but sinful mortals With Ills eternal life might leave. As God gives to each a portion both of sorrow and of joy, Let us trust Him for salvation, Which tho world can not destroy.

ROBERT GINTHER, Teacher. When setting trees, trim off all bruised roots with a sharp knife, leaving a ""smooth clean-edge which will heal rapidly and' send out new feeding roots in a short time. A brok en or- bruised root will decay and be a damago to the tree. When a tree has lost a portion of its roots, a like proportion of the top should be re moved. If but a few- of the roots have been removed by being transplanted, it will not be necessary to do more than thin out the top and balance the symmetry of the tree. American Farmer. Did you ever hear a farmer say that he has no us"e for a garden, that it does not pay? The man is a loser who holds such notions. He misses the pleasures of having vegetables to eat In their season, and he has to pay the household expenses which would not accrue if a good garden were allowed to contribute to the food supply.

The Rhodes PRUNING (PATENTED) EVERY fruit grower will appreciate the advantages of a prun- 0 ing shears that has a double cutting edge, as all the pruning shears heretofore on the market have had only one . cutlng edge, and the A other edge being dull would bruise and peel the bark from the X limb and Injure it so it would not heal up smoothly, but the Rhodes " Pruning Shears having a double cutting edge, cuts from both sides of the limb and does not bruise the bark, but leaves a clean, smooth cut that heals up rapidly. All previous attempts to make a double cutting pruning shears Y have been failures, as the shear blades would draw together, and cut themselves; but with the Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears this difficulty has been overcome by the overlapping points, as you will notice by the cuts that the points of the Rhodes Shears pass by each A other before the shears cuts into the limb far enough to draw the T blades, and it is impossible for the blades to dra wtoegther them- J selves after the points pass each other. The Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears are finely finished and are made from the best quality of material. The shear blades are A forged from tool steel and are carefully ground and tempered. The X handles are maple. The ferrules are of wrought iron four inches Y long, with an extra ferrule one inch long on the end. There la a rivet put through the ferrule, handle and shank of the-'shears which keeps the ferrule and shears from coming loose from the handle, Blades of Wood Handle Pruners are the same size for all lengths.
