SEAFORTH-A pretty wedding took place last Saturday morn_ inp at six o'clock at the residence of Mr and Mrs. John Dodds, when their eldest daughter. Iva Rhodella, became the bride of Mr: Wm. B. Mackay, of Halifax N. S., and formerly of Sea= .forth The ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. W. Barker, B. A., in the presence of the immediate friends and relatives of both young people. The bride, who was given awav ,by her father, looked exceed- ingly handsome in a neat travelling. suit of blue and was attended by her sister Miss 'Cora Dodds.

A x; 614',Af as a ITLt our winter t / wheat show the full, thick, large grain of the per- fectly nourished crop, or will it be thin and shrivelled, or just aver- age—such as may be MO grown on the average O TAS H farm by the farmer who does not make a careful study of his methods of growing ? You are in the farming business to make money! You want to get the maximum yields from your land. To do this, ,the most important work comes at the start and consists in the use of a high grade 10% POTASH fertilizer at seeding time. The proper wheat fertilizer is one analyzing' 2% of Nitrogen, 8% of Phosphoric Acid and 8% of POTASH -better still a 2-8-10. Any agricultural authority will tell you that Winter Wheat removes from the soil more POTASH than Phosphoric Acid. Notwithstand- ing this fact, the average wheat fertilizer contains actually less POTASH' than Phosphoric Acid. POTASH "Potash Pays" Insist that your dealer gives you a fertilizer containing 10% POTASH. If he cannot, you should add enough POTASH to the fertilizer he can give you to increase its POTASH content to 10%. We will tell you, free, just how to do this, We recommend, based upon actual field' tests made byy experts throughout Canada, a fertilizer for winter wheat that contains 2% Nitrogen, 8% Phosphoric Acid and 10% of PO'T'ASH. By applying at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre at seeding time, you will secure, a good stand before*` the commencement' of winter and thus afford your crop a greater degree of pro- tection from frost, and insure a rapid and early growth in the spring, Write us about your particular farming problems. Our Scientific Bureau will be glad to tell yotl how to .grow a maximum crop of winter wheat. This information is free arid it is good,. Write for it today i German Kati..

The growth of language is marked by want' changes In tiye meanings and pronunciations of words and by the to troduettorr of new words where peed.. ed, Its decay is influenced by the ever increasing tendency to Stang and to eollaquialisme, which .form a "peculiar kind of vagabond language, always hanging on the outskirts of legitimate speech, but 'continually straying or forcing its way into respectable com• papy." Whatever the changes, con. structive or destructive, can any pro- fessor or armies of vise and learned men make "It is tae" correct any more than they can justify poor times eight equal thirty-six? Such teaehfng saves rise to the attitude of many school- girls who have the idea that it is af- fected to say "It is I" They expect to be laughed at when they use cor- rect constructions, Lien a lawyer of nay acquaintance told us that If he were to speak correctly he would lose business with: certain clients, men "in the rough," who would think he felt above them.

The object of a blockade is to prevent the. communication of a country with the outside world and to stop the en• trance of supplies of provisions, ma terinis of war or reinforcements.

The expert assured hin that there was nothing unusual about the fiddle and that it was worth'8boui a couple of pounds,; That is abort about twelve years ago, and reread} the violin was again sent to the ex pert for criticism, The reply was con tained in one eloquent sentence, "9'bt. violin has been here before." Consid ering that this gentleman criticises -s very great number of instruments ev ery year, and that he guarantees that violins will not be marked in any way, this is surely an extraordinary example of violin "sense." The Firefly's Light. Probably as far back as 1733 it wa known that the luminous parts of tire flies, glowworms, etc, could be drie and preserved out of contact with th air for considerable periods Awithout losing their light giving power. . In late years it has beep possible to prove this permanence of the light givin power for at least eighteen months. 'Kastle• ana McDermitt- were able upon opening tribes containing the luminous organs of the common firefly preserv- ed in hydrogen or a vacuum to obtain quite a brilliant tight by simply mois- tening with water. The light was in. creased when hydrogen peroxide. re- placed the water. However, scientists. have yet to discover the firefly's secret of producing light without heat. Fire and Water. Water wiil extinguish a fire because the water forms a coating over the fuel, wbieli keeps it from the air, and the conversion or . water into steam draws oft the heat fromtheburning fuel. A little water makes a fire fiercer, while -a large quantity of water puts it out. 'rhe explanation is that water is composed. of oxygen and hy- drogen. , When. therefore, the tire can decompose the water into its simple elements it serves as fuel to the flames. Ali Altered.
