CAMPBELL–MITEDOCIC,--011 Monday
evening last at the hour of 7 o'clock
the home of Mr. Thompsou Murdock
of ttlis village was the scene of a very
happy event, we here refer to the mar-
riage of his eldest daughter, Mies
Amy, to Dr. B. A Campbell, of
Zurich,. The ceremony was perform-
ed by the Rev. G. Jewitt, of this vil-
lage, in the presence of only a few of
the relatives of the contracting parties,
The wedding being chosen to be quiet-
ly performed owing to the somewhat
recent death of the groom's mother.
The bridelooked charming and was
beautifully attired in white silk organ-
die trimmed with applique and moire
silk and carried a boquet of r0E1013.
The bridesmail was Miss Ethel Mur-
dock, sister of the bride, who was
very handsomely dressed in pink
dimity teiinmed in the same manner
as the baides, While the 'flower girl
and Ding bearer was pretty little Ruth
Rennie, The groom was supported
by Mr. O. McGuire, of the Queer City
Oil Company. The wedding march
was played by Miss Vera Murdock.
youngest sister of the bride, during
which time the bride entered the
room and a.s given away by her
father. After the ceremony was over
and the happy couple had been warm-
ly congratulated by- those present, a,
move was made to the dining roma
where a sumptuous repast was in
waiting,and after spending a couple of
hours in pleasant, social intercourse
and music, the Doctor and his bride
were driven to Clinton, from there
they took the train to Goderich, from
which part they took the boat for an
extended trip on the lakes, with New
York city in view, where they intend
spending a few days. Although, cm
we have already intimated, the wed-
ding was quietly celebrated the popu-
larity of the bride was such, that the
presents came showering in from
friends the same as if invitations had
been sent out, and as handsome a col-
lection,as we have seen for someairne.
Among the presents was a very hand-
some concert Grand piano, the.groom's
gift to the bride, his present to the
bridesmaid was a beautiful gold chate-
laine watch. The bride. is well and
very favorably known, and is a grad-
uate of Toronto Conservatory of Music,
where she passed with honors, and has
filled the position of organist in the
Methodist church here for a number
of years with the greatest satisfaction,
only resigning her position a couple of
months ago. The groom is a clever
and very., succeasful doctor and has
built up a very large practice in Zurich
and surrounding country,. and is a
favorite with all classes. We unite
with the very many friends of the
happy couple in wishing them long
continued happiness.

Dear Friend,–We, the mernbers of
Eden Sunday School and Epworth
League, have gathered at ye= home
this evening to express our regret at
your leaving us–not regretful that
you are starting out on life's pathway
in a new land but that we are losing
one of our "boys." As superintendent
of our Sunday School and president of
our League we have been greatly
helped by your kindly advice and in-
struction. The christian example you
manifested in all our meetings was
much appreciated by us.. Although
having the work of teacher and super-
intendent you always found time to
have a talk. prepared on the topic and
to bringin a few thoughts on your
favorite subject,"Character Building."
While teaching others the way to be -
<come strong builders you have more
strongly built your own foundation on
that "solid rock," We hope that
the clieracter you have developed in
the home salved may still grow
stronger whether your new field of
labor be on the vast prairies of the
West or any other locality. We have
always admired the energy anct in-
dustry wnich have characterized your
'efforts and rejoiced when as a student
and teacher, success crowned your
lama. We ask you to accept thes
gifts as a faint representation of. our
esteem, gond-will and best Wishes and
we trust that prosperity and happi-
ness may be yours and that the ichest
blessings and peace of the Master may
always rest upon you. Signed on be-

RINTS TO APPLE GROWERS
In the older parts of Ontario, such
as the counties of Middlesex, Perth,
Oxford, and Brant as well as a portion
of Huron, where the best apples grew
in times gone by, to -day there is a
great neglect of young tree planting
as well as of pruning, and the natural
result is it diminution in the quantity
of apples grown and a decline in the
quality �f the fruit produced. Now
tu Grey, in the North-eastern part of
Durham, and in the county of Nor-
thumberland, the young orchards are
just about equal to the older ones in
number, showing that planting is
there going on vigorously.
In the former cases there is no
doubt the trees were planted from
some twenty-five to forty years ago,
when there was no exact knowledge
of, and, perhaps but, little experience
in varieties–when early apples were
in demand, when the soil was new,
and insect pests and fungous diseases
were rare, and when the only skill re-
quired was simply to take the fruit.
Under these circumstances tbe busi-
ness of apple growing was exceeding-
ly profitable ; but there soon came it
glub of the earlier varieties. They
were not suitable for the export trade,
so that, as soon as the home market
was supplied there was no further
call for thern. The soil lost something
of its virgin freshness ; the trees
would not grow so well ; and with the
increased number of trees there came
a quadrupled, increase in fungous dis-
eases and insect pests. Not only was
there a falling off in the demand. for
the particular variety they were grow-
ing, but there. Was ,an increased diffi-
culty in grown*, any variety; hence
farmers -got the idea that there was
no Money to be got out of apples,
and they let, their orchards run wild,
they allowed noxious insects to multi-
ply and fungous diseases to run their
corse, witit the inevitable resalt that
the orchards Were almost ruined. In
the Georgia Bay district, however, 11
is not difficult to persuade farmers
that orchards can be inede to pay ;
but, everyone should onderstend that
to be a Successful apple grower he
must, choose saitable Yutaka &lop e
clean eultivation, pursue systematic
pruning, spray et the proper time in
the proper rottener, With the protect
solutions, and direct careful attention
to cover crops. "Where ignorance
•
is bliss ids folly to be wise" is not in 1
the science of horticulture. This, the
Dominion Department of Agriculture
is trying to instill into the minds of
fruit groteers by means of lectures
and object kssons. Mr: A. McNeill,
acting chief fruib ihspectorais engaged
in this work, and this Is how he teazle -
es the young idea hew to grow fruit
successfully, profitably en.1 eeady for
sale. He arranges a meeting he the
central locality and spends from a
half an boar to an hour in -doors
lec-
turing and answering all sorts of
questions put to him by growers and
others. Thee he proceeds with his
audience to a near -by orchard, where
he OoMutences an expedition in search
of noxious insects and fungi. Having
discovered a pest (aided perhaps by a
magnifying class) he next proceeds to
prepare his Bordeaux mixture, and
then sprays the infested parts with
the force pump, taking care to demon-
strate as well as to explain the differ-
ence between showering, or sprinkling
and actual spraying; for while spray-
ing with poisons is salvation to the
plant, tree or shrub, showering or
sprinkling means -very often destruc-
tion. All insecticides and fungicide's
should fall on vegetation in the niost
delicate spray, gtherWiSe the tree may
be injured..
Mn. McNeill found in his recent tour
through the counties already men-
tioned a general belief that there were
no insects this year doing any damage.
His magnifier soon discovered hosts
of insects. The oyster -shell bark
louse is very prevalent; the cigar
case bearer in some districts was
quite numerous ; the tent caterpillar
Was in evidence but not seriously; and
the canker worm in some localities
was very plentiful ; but for multitude
the bud moth simply swarmed. The
result of finding these pests where
they were supposed to be conspicuous
by their absence so etruck the farmers
that Mr. McNeill could have sold a
gross of magnifiers 011 the spot. .It
was an object 'lesson that will never
he forgotten; it was nature study in
its most tangible form ; 11 was that
practical experimenting which leads
to the conversion of the desert into a
fruitful field, and clothes the dismal
prairie with a world's grain yield,
It deep net elways fall to the lot of
a Governmenb to witness the good re-
sults of missionary zeal ; but here in
Canada we are constantly reaping
where We have sown ; and Mr. Mc-
Neill reports that the result of the
forward policy of the Minister of
Agriculture has already in the fruit
section led fermers in the older por-
tions of Ontario to abandon their for-
mer slovenliness and to go in for glean
cultivation ; while in the newer dis-
tricts the fruit, growers themselves so
appreciate what has been done to
