A FASHIONABLE WEDDING AT
CLINTON, ONT.
Toronto Times.
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.

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

that ing contradicted h t there has been
an output increasing i't ev.'ry branch

country ; tbgt public works have been
gradually and continually prosaed for-

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."

The cattle should have warm quarters at

that are very gentle and kind in the sum-

ter season. If there are no accommodations
to keep such ones isolated, they should cer-

each winter by slipping and straining while

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

work, but the manure, fl piled up under

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

them by giving a little sugar, corn, or other
food, when they approach you. Use the
curry comb freely on both colts and horses,
whether they are at work or not. It keeps

A Fairy Story in Figures for Intending
Visitors.
At the meeting of genef'aI passenger
agents in Chicago, Nit. 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

possessor could sly, nor feeding of a dairy
some grain one summer establish a rule of
profitable procedure for all dairymen, or
circumstances.all circumstances. 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.
My own dairy has twelve cows that became
fresh during the autumn of 1891. From
the first of November, 1891, to the first of
November, 1892, I sold' at the creamery,

milk. 'These cows have been fed grain of

years, but at no time over five pounds a
;lay. 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

Of course these cows were well kept last
winter, but were fed the rather heterodox
ration of silage and "seconds," of the latter

pounds of hay at noon, while the caro was

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.

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
