an unusual degree of confidence.
There is nothing of greater import-
ance to a child than to feel that he is
understood. The wise mother knows
when a ehild is overtaxed, and makes
proper allowance for him. She real-

in the Child's feeling that he has been

may be mistaleen makes the result no

progress under apparently favorable
conditions. It was found she was

It is astonishing -how many children
we find suffering from th.e effects of
overindulgence. Thera is nothing
more tragic than the home in which
a aim has "got the upper hand." This
does not mean that he should be re-

difficult to me/' says Fredi H --eaechel,
a young farmer, "but now it is as easy
as falling Off it log. Then I believed
the fellows who said that disease and
worm -free apples eouldalt be raised
around here. Now I know better. My

In Hasehere home orchai-d, there are
13 apple trees of bearing age and 10
