Use OF the parsnip.

Nothing fed produces fner favored
milk, butter, cheese or hams than the
parsnip. No root Is better relished by
hogs or bovine. The yield Of parsnips
Ia not as large as rutabagas, maugels, or
large varieties Of carrot; but the writer
has grown 500 TO 700 bushels per acre,
and with less than half the labor It costs
to cultivate 1917 bushels per acre, side
by side, Of the long orange carrot, which
Is the bet variety for stock feeding. The
parsnip Ia the only root that we can d.
low 10 stand out In the winter In the
ground, as 1t grows unininred, even where
frost Is severe. This Characteristic Of
the parsnip Is invaluable, as they keep
perfectly, and may be fed in the spring
until full bite Of grass is grown.-J.

A Trip to the Centennial and its Hap
py Results.

The average sehoolma'am, take her
as rule, is staid and prOsaic, and gen.
orally conceded to be nOn-susceptible to
the tender sentiment which has found
a place in the breast of mortals from the
time of Adam, and which will continue
to rule mightier than the divine power
of kings until Gabriel blows the last
trump, and we are too busy attending
to eternal affairs to mind such things as
love and marriage. But it is poor
rule which has no exception, and this
rule is no exception. The schoolma'am
in this case saw, loved and was beloved
in return, and the result was marriage
which remained a secret for nearly six
months, and will probably be a sur
prise to many when they read this.
Miss May Upton Chat was) and Mr..
Geo. Pickham, of Trego County, in this
State, are the principal features in this
story, although trip to the Cenienni-
al, a meeting by chance, "a mutual flame,
a correspondence by mail, and engage
ment, secret marriage and the subse-
quent secret well kept, help materially to
build up the story in connection with this
most romantic affair. Miss Upton Is
we'll known in this city, having been q
teacher in our public schools for num-
Der of years, and highly esteemed by
every pupil in the schools and the large
circle of friends she drew around her.
She had, so far as known, and it was
nobody's business whether she had been
or not, entirely heart whole, until dur
ing the vacation in 1876, when she took
a trip to Philadelphia to witness the
wonders of the great worlds show in
progress during that year. On the trip
there, or on the trip back, or during her
stay at the Exposition-it isn't exactly
known, and in fact doesn't make any
particular difference-she met Mr.. Pink
ham, was introduced, and each felt that
the penetrating dart of willy Cupid had
been sheathed deeply, inficting an in
durable wound, not fatal in its effects,
however, but effecting result, the hap
DIV contamination of which has remain
ed a secret for so long. MIR. Pinkham is
interested in the famous clock-works at
Wakeena, Trego County, in this State,
and is a prominent business man in that
section of the country. After the return
x
between the two was commenced and
maintained, each successive missive fam
ming the flame which had been kindled
by the tiniest spark. During the Christ
mas holidays Miss Upton made visit
to st. Louis, and on the 2Sth day of De-
cember or Whereabouts, that date will
suffice, a secret marriage was celebrat-
ed in Trinity Church, the Rev. George
C. Belts performing the ceremony. The
bride returned to Leavenworth and her
school, the groom returning to his
home among the chalk-helds OF the
West. The secret was well kept, and
the lady retained her title of "Miss. "
But, after the vacation was begun, when
the schools were out, Mrs. Pinkham re-
signed her position as an instructress,
and is now with her husband in Wakee-
na May long life and success attend
them.-LedUenl0Orth Times.

In travelling through India, recel

In travelling through India, recent
", Professor Monier Williams, of Eng
land, was struck with the remarkable
skill attained in multiplication by the
native children in the village schools.
"The multipicand," he says, "gener-
ally ascends to forty and often higher.
The whole class of perhaps hundred
children repeat their tables together,
as if with one voice, the accumulated
force of which rises to a deafening
scream. They can all multiply by frac-
tions, particularly by I. II, ID, and "a
and they can multiply %, 81, and Al by
the fraction L." The pupils use nc
books, but are taught to read and write
on the sand or on palm-leaves.

previously prepared by pruning the
tap-root, and by pudding the fibrous
roots, are laid upon the slope of the
furrow on the loose soil, end held in
place by q small quantity OF loose earth
thrown upon them. They are thus
placed very rapidly in position, being
dropped by one person and placed by
another. The distance apart should
not be more than one foot, il d close
hedge is desired. As soon as a sufficient
quantity are In position, pillow is run
so SIS to throw furfow directly upon
the roots and cover them. The piCw-
rnsn may walk along the row and tread
the soil firmly upon each side of the
plants. A very light frrfow is then
/ thrown upon each side to round uF ths
center, when the whole bed is narrowed
down smoothly. Corn orpotatoes may
/ BE planted ON each side of the row, that
the ground may be kept elesnly Guilt

that the hedge will need 60 draw from
The whole, of the row.
AtieT- M6nceefaent. 1t is easier to
plant hedge than to msnase it prop
erly afrerward. 1t is here that so ii.Gry
failures occur. The first year the
growth should be kept even and
stoeky by occasional shortening in OF
0btrusise or too vigorous leaders. The
second year tie plants should be cut
back to one-half of the previous years
glowth, for all those plans that are not
coniferous. Coniferous hedges need
pruning, but not OF such vigorous
character. These should be treated
tenderly, as their growth is slow, and
sufficient top pruning done to cause the
bottom growth to become close and
bushy. Summer pruning is needed in
this case. With the Usage orange, or
similar plants, severe pruning is neces-
sary to throw the growth into the bot |
tom of the hedge. When the plants !
have reached one inch or more in thick |
ness they should be cut half through in
a slanting direction few inches from
the bottom of the stem, and the stems
bent down to an angle of 40 degrees in
the line of the hedge. This done in the
spring cattses q rapid growth of up
right shoots from the stems below the
cut; the cut heals, leaving the slop-
ing stems interlaced with the
UulCh, ucW SIOHJu llOLh lhOhA-
selves and the bottoms. Thus
the hedge, after year or two of further
growth, becomes impenetrable by
small animal and so matted and bound
together as to be able to resist the charge
of a bull After this the whole care con
sists in keeping the top of the hedge
to level about five feet high,
and to shear the side shoots annually
so as to keep the lower and inside
growth healthful and vigorous. A very
hedge in some OF the far West
ern States is the white willow. This
makes an excellent hedge if managed
well. The plants consist of stakes cut
from mature trees, set in the row.
These cuttings root readily, and being
but Is inches or feet apart, very soon
become so close together as to prevent
any animal but q very small one from
passing between them. Growing rapid
ly, this hedge soon forms wind-break
and protection which is of the greatest
value upon the wind and storm-swept
prairies. Fork Times.
