The elite of Clinton have been on the "gni vive" since the announcement of the marriage of Miss May L. Taylor. only daughter of the eteemed towns- man Mr. William Taylor, and who has been one of our efficient school teach- ers. Tho groomsman Mr. F. W. French, B. A , classical master of the Pembroke High School, has also a large circle of friends in this city. The church was artistically decorat- ed with evergreens and flowers, and long be fore the appointed hour it was crowded with the many friende of the bride anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bridal party, who, as the wedding march pealed forth from the organ, appeared in the order: First., came the ushers, Messrs. I. and J Taylor, brothera of the bride; next, the brides maid Mies Bell Smith, of this city; then the little maids of honor. Miss Etta Roland, city, and Mise Mary Laugh of Clinton; lastly came the bride leaning on the arm of her Lather. The groom was supported by Mr. John Ito- land,a'Vat'sity student, also of this city. The bride was attired in anivory silk, trimmed with Irish Point lace caught. with ribbon, and looked sweetly charm- ing beneath her veil secured with orange blossoms. She carried a bou- quet of white roses fringed with white carnations. The bridesmaid wore a pale blue satin trimmed with crepe da chino end feather trimmings, and carried a bouquet of pink roses. The little maids of honor looked very attractive and fairylike, with their large white beaver hats and pretty gowns. The blonde, Miss Etta, in her pale blue and the burnette, :flies Mary, in her cream, both of which wore richly trimmed. The presents were numer- ous and costly, showing the high esteem in which the bride is held. That of the groom was a piano. After the re- ception and lunch the happy couple amid a shower of rice and good wishes departed for the east. TILE MINISTER OF FINANCE AT Tull TOIt- ONTO BANQUET. NOT CRUDE MATERIAL. Scott's Emulsion is Cod Liver Oil perfect- ed and is prepared upon the prinoiple of ite digestion and assimilation in the human system ; hence it is given without disturbing the stomach. Hon. Geo. E. Foster, Dominion Minister of Finauce, spoke at the Tor- onto banquet on Friday night on the expansion of Cauadian etpabilities a follows :-- ,,When I spoke here four years ago the few words 1 said had refereuce to the progress of Can via in the past and her prospects fur the future. '1'u night I stand before yon able to sty—rant glad am I, as well as every Canadian, that I eau say it—that the promise of four years ago of coutiu'to t prosperity lies boon fulfiller], bayou! the expocta• tion of most of you here. During those four yoare our trade in exports has increased by $25,000,000, or 23 per cent.; our imports by $12,000,000, 0, 11 per cent , and our tot tl trade by $37,000,000, or 18 per c•:ut. in that time I think I may Bay without be. that ing contradicted h t there has been an output increasing i't ev.'ry branch of ihilustry and produ::tiun in this country ; tbgt public works have been gradually and continually prosaed for- ward, until today we ete'td lvlthin a small measurable distance of the time when theg reat works undertaken at the time of confederation and later, as the work par excellence iu this ooun- 1ry, stlall have been fiuishod the capital accounts with regard to them largely closed and the great benefits aoeruin, in point of cheapenlug of transit and encouragement of trade to go on for all future and growing generations of thio. country. (Hoar, hear, and applause.) In that time the savings of the people have appreciably accumulated in the banks, as His Excellency has noted. The circulation and business of til banks of this country has reached iti maximum of past years, and not many months ago so large were the crops of this country to be moved and so groat was the demand for cnrruncy that an Order•iu-Council was passed on are• port signed by myself, which issued up to the twenty -million -dollar limit of the currency power that the Dominion Government is authoriz+d by Parlia- ment to issue. (Hear, hear.) And so I may go through every trade, every industry, every branch of the country's progress, and show to you the steady, gradual and suprisiugly largo advance, meat in tho four years which hive jest passed. Have we grasped the agricultural capabilities of this country' Have we fully grasped the agricultural progress the country has made in the last twenty years'? Let me give you a figure or two to substantiate it. Not many years ago how small was the agricultural area of this country 1 To day how large and how vast is it? So large and so vast that the mind of no single man sitting around these boards is able fully, with the information he possesses, to comprehend it, to grasp it in its entirety. The progress in the past in agriculture has been large and gratifying. Let me just take some articles. The products of the field in 1868 were raised to food the popula- tion we had, and to export to the amount of $1'2,000,000; in 1892 the agricultural products were raised to feed 5,000,000 of poople—a Bruch larger number than in 1868—and to export at the same time to the amount of $22,000,000, an increase of 90 per cent in that time. (Applause,) In 1868 animals and their products were raised to feed the people of this country at that time, end to export beside the amount of $6,500,000 ; in 1899 the 5,000,000 were fed from these pro- ducts, and exports to the amount of $28,500,000 were sent from the country to feed outside people, an in— crease of 350 per cent. in the period named. (Applause.) Taking some examples of wonderful progress, cheese in 1868 was raised for the consumption of, this country and for export to the tune of $500,000 worth ; in 1892 it was raised for the food of this country and to export to the tune of $11,500,• 000, an increase of about 800 per cent. In 1868 apples were exported to the tune of one•twelfth of a million dollars' worth, besides what were con• slimed hare; last year they were ex• ported to the tune of $1,500,000, au increase of 1560 per cent. (Applause.) And so, air, I might go throng the list and show to you the wcnderfnl ex- paneiou which has taken place in the agricultural products of this country, as shown in the larger quantities re• gaited for the consumption of the pec• ple, and in these very largely increased expol'te for the consumption of people beyond ue. (GIRLS I'VE EDLTCATE1) A NOBLE,PHILAAN1 HROPIST SPEAKS OF HIS NOIILE WORKIs The Substance of n Paper by Mr. George W. Childs on the Training of Voting Wooten to the Various Pro. fessiems. A notable article from the pen of Mr. George W. Childs appears in the current .lumbar of the Ladies' Homo .Journal. The article is entitled, "uir'le I Have Educat- ed " Mr. Childs says : "Girls, as a rule, respond more quickly to the fascieat1ous of study than tlo boys, and 1 have always felt that they deserved as many chances. "So far as my personal experiences are concerned gratitude has been the rule in almost every Case where I have sought, by the means within my power, to make it possible for girls to acquire practical train - tug. I Lave up to this time edaoated, or rather been the means of ecluoating, be. tween three or four ht:udred girls, and in every case I have been retvar.,ed by their gratitude, their aptitude, their general ex- cellence in behavior, and their more than general success in their chosen carers. The girls in whoni I have been especially interested: eel who I always feel have first claims upon ins, are the daughters of journalists—the men and women] of my own profession) are always neatest my heart. After them come the daughters of clergymen. As a rule, the children of newspaper men aro quick and ready to grasp opportunities, and it has therefore been with particular pleasure- that I have afforded them opportunities to help them. se11• es. "These girls have come from almost every State in the Union, They have been brought to my notice through their friends. through my friends and through strangers. One young girl came all the way from a small town u1 Norway to my office in Phila- delphia. "Of these girls, strange to say, not one has entered the newspaper profession. There have been several lawyers and doc- tors, many teachers, artists, bookkeepers, accountants, cashiers, and secretaries, train- ed nurses and elocutionists, and several aspirants for the lyric and dramatic stage. The teachers have, without exception, been snecessful ; so have the graduates of law and medicine and of the Nurses' Training School. The girls who had am- bitions for public careers have met with only ordinary auccesa. Probably those trained for elocutionists have made the most money. Y "The girls of musical and artistic capa- bilities have been given every advantage possible in the way of home and foreign training, Several of them hrve been edu- cated in Paris, several in Berlin, o":urs in Vienna. In the selection of schools and teachers there has been 110 general rule ; sometimes I have selected both, at other times the girls or their friends have trla& the choice. In all cases only the beat of either have been employed. For one young girl who seemed especially endowed with a voice, Madame Christine Nilsson was requested to select the teacher. The salaries received by these girl, have aver- aged from five hundred to several thousand dollars a year ; one received as high as five thousand. "All the,gtrls have become self-support- ing, most of them have married, -and all (I think I am safe in saying this) have made good wives. All of them have de- ferred to my request that the mens of their choice should be honest and well able to take care of them, and, so tar as I know, not one of them has found a husband who has presumed upon his wife's ability to earn money to expect her to contribute to his support." "It is not generosity that has made me helpful in this respect to girls ; it is in part selfishness. I want to see where my looney goea. I want, to know that it is circulating ; that it is doing good. I some- times feel that the only money I have is that which I have given away. The rest. is just waiting. The money that I have spent upon other people has been that. which I have most enjoyed. Many rich men have done as much, many have done more. I think Mr. Drexel has done the noblest work of all, h founding his School of Industrial Art." CHRISTMAS GIFTS. sore"— —rwelseliiielliertettriritrOw9""'""r ALL ABOUT THE FARM.

By confining the cattle in stanchions dur- ing the night and allowing them to run at large during the day in pleasant weather, a full grown cow or steer can be kept in bet- ter condition on half a ton less of hay, than by the old out of door rough and tumble plan. Of course this makes a little more work, but the manure, fl piled up under shelter or drawn to the field during the win- ter , in -ter, will well pay for the extra time ; be- sides most farmers have leisure time during the winter season, and may thus turn it into money. If possible never allow colts and horses to , run loose with cattle. Colts, if they are kept in good condition, will certainly have their play spells and race the cattle about at a fearful rate. Unless cattle are de - horned, when penned up, they will use their horns in a disastrous Branner, and especially Seem to have a grudge against horses and will, if possible, injure them at the first opportunity. Colts should be halter broken, led about and tied up during the day ; treat them kindly so they will come to yoo at the call.

Roberts,of the Frio, remarked that he had heard Fronk Thom- son, of the Pennsylvania, declare in the trunk lines meeting last week that 54,000,- 000 people would have to be carried by the roads entering Chicago during the six months of the Exposition. Mr. Thomson is accepted as authority,but, says the Chicago News Record, the figures staggered Mr. Roberts' auditors a little and they said so. They all agreed, however, that the traffic would take all the facilities available en every line entering here. Then there was some speculation as to rates. Mr. lleaford said he had been figur- ing to see what a six days' visit to the Fair, including transportation, would cost a roan living 300miles from Chicago. "I estivate a trip like that would cost just $45," he said, whereat there was a derisive laugh from the Eastern men who have read New York stories of Chicago extortions. That put the Chicagoan on his mettle and he produced his figures, as follows Round-trip tic Ice, (0(141 miles) 81.3 0+1 Bleeper (Loth ways) 4 ((I Board and lodging (six days) 1S (K Six admissions to the Fair 3 00 Sidcsho`Ys, plai since " 00 Miscellnneoue 0 00 Total 54G 00 "Now," he said to the sceptics as he gave bis figures, "that means a margin for car - fares and foolishness, and it isn't a low es- timate, either."

The symptoms of chicken cholera are as follows : The fowl droops and mopes about, with the feathers staring; the comb and wattles turn bark or pale, usually the form- er or -er ; there is great weakness and manifest symptoms of distress ; digestion is arrested, food refused, the crop filled with sour and fermenting foed ;disrrhteh of a mild type, at first, i1t. reusing in set erity to the end; droppings at first of a greenish -yellow color, becoming more frothy and sulphurous as the disease progresses ; pulse rapid and feeble ; high fever and great thirst ; eleepi- ne88 is a characteristic symptom.

Yet it is a fact that there are thousands of dairies that would be benefited by an increase of food of some kind, where there are only scores that would not respond to it because of surplus pasturo feed, so nutritive in quality, that grain would not, in its concentrated form, add to the nutritive quality of the ration.

Again, this is not a home bred, or home raised, dairy, but ono purchased out of Western droves of 'fall "springers" on their way to New York. These cows, after being milked all winter, were turned on pasture May 9th, and a grain ration of a pound and a half of oat dust, costing five-eighths of a cent, was fell to ertelt cow daily, as long as she gave milk.There has been no month during summer up to September first, that this dairy of "strippers" has not given over 5,000 pounds of milk, though after May 10th one cow was purposely dried off, and one went dry by reason of an accident, so that ten cows made up the summer diary. After Sept. let, it became necessary to dry orf those nearest to coining in, so as to give them a Month's rest, and the new, or rather the fresh ones, kept up the flow. The question with me is, could 1 having luxurious pasture feed, have kept these "strippers" in fairly full flow of mills during the summer, and right well up to the dine of calving, with- out the use of a little groin? It must be understood that these cowhave no known heredity behind thein to give them long milking habits, for it is a saying that all drift cows have been sold for cause, so that it is either grain, or some other reason, that has influenced them to thus prolong their milking Beason, some of them a fill year. Of course these cows were well kept last winter, but were fed the rather heterodox ration of silage and "seconds," of the latter five pounds each daily, ^and possibly four pounds of hay at noon, while the caro was pboric acid to kill the germs, • Care of Dairy Utensils. In no other work is there as great a de- mand for cleanliness as in the three parts of the dairy business, milk, butter and cheese. The most attention is needed to maintain the cleanliness of the Milk receptacles, such as pails, pans, cans and churns. In the. first place there should be a sufficient sup- ply of pans that those emptied and washed in the morning need not be used until even- ing or the next day. After washingthey should be placed in. the sunlight untiused. On cloudy days they can be thoroughly dried about the etove and not nested when they are wet, and allowed to thus remain for several hours, tie in that condition they cannot dry, and when separated at night they will give off a disagreeable odor, and the warm milk placed in them is certain to be contaminated. All tin dairy utensils should he first washed in boiling waters then thoroughly rinsed in, clean cold water. and turned bottom side- up to drain and dry until again used. All vessels about the dairy should be cleaned an soon as emptied. and not allowed to stand neglected for hours thereafter. The shelves, heaths and racks upon which the pans are set should be washed with soap and water every time - they are cleared. Even a few drops of milk allowed to remain on there to mold or gum up with butter fat would prove un- healthy, and detrimental to the milk fn the same apartment. Where only a few cows are kept the same scrupulous cleanli- ness should be observed. The surface of the butter in the tubs should be covered with a cloth saturated with sarong brine, both during and after the filling is com- pleted. Locate the filled tubs in a cool, dark portion of the cellar, examine once a week, and if the brine is found oozing through the staves, it should be wiped away and not allowed to remain and stain the wood, giving it a most uninviting look. Short Furrows. The most valuable farm product is a happy family. • One never grows fat by having to eat his own 'words. The wind never blows to suit the man who rises late. "Silence is golden" when talk keeps you from work. Kicking a horse is a poor way to make a friend of him. Tho easiest way to appear wise is to keep your niouth shut. The road to ruin often looks as if it led to the land of plenty. The fish that never eats flies is not apt to be caught on a hook. Trying to keep cows tat that have no other protection from the winter's cold than the leeward side of a straw pile is like try.. ing to warm up all out of doors with a No. 7 heating stove. Some men never practice economy except when they are buying for their wives. It you want to learn to grow rich easily, go sit at the feet of some old codger who never made a cent in his life. A blanket of Snow. A winter covering of snow for the fields, grass or grain, is extremely beneficial, pre- venting deep freezing of the soil, keeping the plants and their roots at an almost uni- form temperature, and the almost daily freezing and thawing that occurs on land not thus protected. Tho covering of snow should be made as uniform as possible by placing branches of evergreens or any other obstruction about the open,epaces in :fields and especially upon the knolls and other elevations where the wind sweeps away the fallen snow. These obstructions need not be placed in position until the ground is frozen solid, when other farm work .s not pressing, and should there he an open win- ter the Protection afforded by the of dyne - tions atone will amply repay the labor and expense.
