All batchelors are in- vited to a feast, then a dance fol- , lows, and, finally conies the inevit- able proposal. Glorious weather favored the gath- ering this year.

But the time for eating had not yet come.

The dinner followedthe hostesses taking their places first. Their guests were expected to make their selection by sitting beside them, a feat they performed with surprising alacrity, The scene was most animated, and a great erowd of amused and inter- ested relatives and friends looked on. After the dinner came the dance,c when it is said that many captives were again made. As a result, of the gathering twelve inontlis ago twenty -cite couples were marrie(1 on the 58111 day in the month of August, and they are all said to be very happy.

Now this dry mulch does rtot draw upon the moisture deeper in the soil, hut if the loose top soil is wet by a light ramn. it will start the flow of the deeper water upward, where more may be lost in a few days by evaporation than fell in the ram if the ground is not •stirred directly. The principle is familiar to gardeners, florists, and those who irrigate. They know that a good wetting periodically when the ground becomes dry is much better than a dozen sprinklings. • The depth of cultivatutin best for saving soil moisture is laid by most authorities at about three inches, This depth is not, however, related to size of shovels, for small shovels can be made to go as deeply as large ones. .
