Many dairymen, like moat other peo-

greatest servant and benefactor—the
(Miry cow—to place the blame.

Importance of Early Cultivation In
the Orchard.
If a cover erop has been left over
the winter in an orchard it should not,
as a rule, be a owe
to grow in the
spring until there is ss good erop to
plw •
under, Y •
where droughts °our, but the land
should be plowed as soon as it is
dry enough to work, not waiting for
the plants to grow up; thus much
moisture which would otherwise be
transpired by the leaves of the plants
will be saved and the chance ef suffer-
ing from drought lessened.
A good setting of fruit depends
very much on an ample supply of
moisture in the ground at blooming
and setting time, and if there should
be a drought after a heavy crop of
clover or vetch has been plowed under
late in the spring, conditions will not
be at all favorable.
After the land has been plowed, it
should be kept well harrowed during
the early part of the season to con-
serve the moisture se it has been
found that there is a rapid decrease of
moisture unless the surface soil is
kept loose. Early cultivation is de-
sirable also beetauee it is important to
get the soil warmed up as soon as
possible by letting the air in and so
making oe,nditions favorable for
growth early in the season. The
. greater activity in growth there is
in the early part eif the season, the
more likely is there to be a good set
of -fruit. especially on rather old trees
where the flow of sap through the
fruit spurs is not as free as in
younger trees, and if there are drying
winds and a drought there may not be
sufficient moisture to hold the fruit
an the trees. .An application of nitro-
gen on same soils has been found very
useful in promoting greater activity
of growth in the early part of the
season and so better ensuring a set-
ting of fruit.

In plenningefor a wedding, remember

exercese of good taste in, the decore-
tione and arrangements, a 'charming

Having decided upon the date surd

party comes in for coneideration. The
bride's attendants may include a nee-

friend or relative to attend her; maid
of honor, if the relative or friend is
unmarried; bridesmaids, and flower
girl,
The bridegroom's attendants inelude

bridegroom have sieters of suitable
age it is courteous to invite one or
more to ant as 'brideamends, and bro-
thers of the bride are staked to act
as ushers.
With these prolimeneries attended
to, the invitations aro then considered.
The invitation list to rprepared with
great care. Enter in a book the names
and addresees of those who are to be
invited, if the liat is a short one; the
card index system has been found best
for a long list. As Merl are proverb-
ially careless in ouch matters, a con-
siderate bride-to-be will insist upon
being furnished with a complete list
of the bridegroom's relatives and
frlend.
The invitations to a church wede
ding may be for the ceremony only, or
may include an invitation to a recep-
tion following the c.eremony, or an
"at home" to take place at the home
of the newly married pair atter they
have returned from their wedding
trip.
At the sleepiest church weddingts
formal invitatione are dispensed with
altogether; the bride and bridegroom,
or their parents, tell those whom they
wish to invite the date and hour of
the ceremony, and send informal notes
to those whom they can not reach with
a verbal invitation. When the cere-
mony is performed at home, the in-
vitations are eent either for the cere-
mony, or for•the reception which fol-
lows the ceremony. If many guests
are invited, the invitations should be
engraved. When only the family and
most intisfsate friends are invited,
written invitations are sent.

The Wedding -Reception.
Arrived' at the bride's; home, after
the expression of good wishes on the
part of their attendants, the new hus-
band and wife stand together, while
the bridesmaids form in a line at the
bride's left. The guests enter un-
announced and join in the precession
that advances to offer congratulations.
The ushers present any strangers to
the bridal couple, who also introduce
their friends to one another.
The bride's parents stand near the
entrance, and all should speak to
them, as they are the true hostsof
the occasion. The briclegroorn's par-
ents may receive in some other part
of the room, or the beide% mother and
the bridegroom's father, or the bride's
father with the beidegroonds mother,
may stand together and present their
friends to each other. If the bride's
home is in the c,ountry, the reception
may take place on thelawn,
The guests pane on after speaking
to the bridal party and are asked by
members of the family or by attend-
ants to enter the dining -room. They
partake of refreshments, VIEW the

displayed, and circulate freely, re-

Duties of the Attendants,
The details connected with a church
wedding include the opening and de-
coration of the church, engaging the
organistoas well as the minister, the
fee to the latter, as well as the fees to
the sexton and organist. The ushers
should arrive at the church about
three-quarters of an hour before the
hour of ceremony. As the guests ar-
rive an usher offers his right arm to
each lady and conduces her to a pew.
The man who accompanies her follows
after and seats himself at her side.
When several ladies come together
and claim the services 01 000 usher, he
can only bow, ask how many belong
to the group and offer his arm to the
one who appears to be the eldest,
asking the others to follew. The
ushers in the centre aisle ask the
guests if they are frienda of the bride
or 'bridegroom, and oat the former
upon the left and the latter at the
right.
At the reception following the eere-
mone, the ushersele not stand with the
receiving party, but make themselves,
generally useful and agreeable, cir-
culating among the guests, waiting
upon the ladies and introducing
strangers.
The best man drives to the church
with the bridegroom, arriving there
not leo than ten minutes before the
hour set far the ceremony. The Min-
ister'e fee is placed in an envelope
and entreated to the best man, who
also has charge of the wedding ring,
which he produces at the right mo-
ment during the ceremony. At the
rehearsal which is usually held the
evening before the wedding, the min-
ister instructs the wedding party as
to the details of the ceremony.
A suitable program of organ music
should be arranged for with the
organist, who is expectad to ta,
while the guests are taking their
piacee. Any vocalise invited to take
part should sing during this time.
Some ort of signal should be arran,g-
ed by which the organist will know

I Jot enema I wrote e little piece
i entitled "I Love Dom" was that any
reason why I meant that I didn't love
girls? Does a boy get nice things
said About him as often as a girl?
Doesn't ho have to go out on the
back steoe and bury his tearful face in
his feithful dog's neck, to find real
companionthip—sometimes? Ever see
a girl do that? Neither -did I. She's
more likely to eat a hot biscuit or 4L
piece of rich fudge just before sup-
eper and than worry her fond parents
hell to cloth because her appetite
seems to be failing, and "perhaps the
dear thing fa in lova"
Of course, I love girls. My mother
was one, once, My wife is one, still.
My daughter will be one for quite
some time, I hope, The good Lord,
never trade a prettier thing than a
wonan's face crusweeter thing than
a woman's *mile. "Angels named
her"; no mortal was equal to it,
The hist girl I ever loved was my
mother, and I never realized just how
much I really leved her until I could
no longer tell her. I wonder how
many are malting a similar mistake?
As old age came upon her, we remem-
bered the little home anniversaries by
giving her practical presents. We
thought that wee all she cared for,
stern Scotch mother that she was.
And yet, when it was all over, we
found pressed flowers and picture
cruets in the old Bible, and a host of
little trinkea ef no earthly value
whatever. What gcod does it do to
weep? One tender word, spoiceu in
time, one loving gift, no matter what
it rose given in time are better than
oceans of tears. Compared with one
Peer, pitiaha, withered dandelion,
presented with love by is child who
sees beauty in it, what are all the
I marble mausoleums we erect when it

In there a more alarming sight in
the world than the teasing, taunting
smile in a young girl's face, her eyes
aglow with merriment, mischief in
every fastahengirg expression? Is
