Dairymen often wonder how their more
favored competitors get such high pric s
for their butter the year round. II is by
always having a uniform gilt edged article.
To put the "gilt edge" on, when the past

Cultivation OF CurrantS.

The currant has always been a uni
ycrSal favorite, not SO much, perhaps,
because of the real nature of the fruit
as because of the extreme hardness of
the bush, which hitherto has w!thstood
Il good deal of neglect, with little or no
attention. After once planting them in
some remote corner of the garden, or
under the fence, they are left severely
alone. But with the currant. as with
other things, as soon as they become
scarce, the demand for them will in
crease; and better prices rule. My plan
Of cultivatiOn-which | do not claim as
the best, but which has always succeed
ed with me-is simply this: AS soon as
the leaves are off the bushes in the fall,
| 90 through them with sharp knife
and trim out the old branches, and any
of the new that show signs of borer,
and cut back all new shoots One-third.
/ then rake up all the wood that has
been cut out, and burn it to make sure
of destroying all insects that might cling
thereto. This done, | work in deep
usually with the spadc-three or four
shovelfuls of good, well-rotted barn ma
nure around each bush, to the space of
about three feet: the ground between
the rows is now either plowed or spaded,
and the whole given n liberal top dress
ing of light manure, and the work is
done for the winter.
AS soon as the first worms appear in
the Spring-which is early-I take a
heaping tablespoonful of powdered
white he!leborc, and thoroughly wet it
with boiling water-a quart or 50. / now
turn this to pail of clean cold water
stirring constantly all the while, till
every particle of the powder is well
mixed. 1t is ready now for application
to the bushes, which is done with
large watering pot. taking great care to
thoroughly sprinkle every bush; repeat
this as often as the worms reappear
Usually two applications. one early in
the Spring, and the other just before
the fruit riprns, are sufficient to keep
down the worms. Keep the ground
around them mellow and free from
weeds. and If at any time through the
summer branch is seen to wilt, it is
Immediately cut away and burned, as
such is the ''sign of the borer."
Following this method of cultivation,
l have never lost bush or had poor
| crop of fruit. And l bespeak the same
success to any who will take the same
| trouble for the sake of this delicious
fruit. 1t will pay.-Prdcticat Farmer.

Mt. Hope.

An era is marked in the lives of Aras-
mus E. Cooley and Miss Cora Kingsley,
both being identified with the vicinity of
Mt. Hope from earliest infancy, by SUBJ
hitting to the eventful ceremony that
pronounced them one henceforth in the
interest of each other, in the joys and
sorrows, Gall lives meet with some sor-
row, God grant that theirs be few, )of
which life consists. All remember, the
old saying of the superstitious that the
falling of rain on wedding day be-
tokens unhappiness to married life.
1t did not rain or snow. on December
Both, 1888, condition of "old proba-
bilities' highly gratifying to these two
sensible people, who, regardless of
omens, considered the comfort of their
bosom friends and each other, in reach
ing the home of that patriarchal resident
Uncle jerry Kingsley, and the clear
ringing of the marriage sleigh-bells that
were to ring so cheerily after dinner.
At II o'clock on the day above men,
toned, Rev. ID. C. Wood officiating, the
marriage ceremony was performed.
The latter service was, no doubt, just
as binding and as acceptable as though
it had been witnessed by many more
than Miss Anna Monroe and the princi-
pal of the British Hollow school, who
''stood up with them, being the only
persons invited to be present. The sup
per. given in honor of the event by his
folks on Monday, and by her folks on
New Years day, were both enjoyable
occasions to the relatives and friends
entitled to be present. No show or
pretensions were assumed by the par
ties in parading the affair before the
public, but in good and sensible man
ner the business of school-teaching goes
on without interruption, housekeeping
duties taken up, and the usual unwise
expenditure of money saved for the pur-
pose of securing the comforts of home.
May they enjoy a long and prosperous
life. is the expression Of their very many
friends.
Perhaps the extreme lateness the COM
munication was received last week ac-
countsf for the numerous errors occurring
in the printed programme of the enter
tainment given at Mt. Hope. Instead
Of a duet as an opening exercise it was
nothing more than a song by two per-
sons. 1t was not s.swear word
meant in the title of the piece, illustrat-
ing the splendid archery of the ancient
Roman in liberating Claudius and
Cynthia from the doom of death. And
of course emitting to mention two diff
ferent exercises. viz: PRESERVATION of
"Parrhasius, the Painter of Athens
by W. p. Phillips, and that of SANDY

Patch Grove.

We noticed in the last issue of THE
HERALD. in the first paragraph in the
Mt. Hope items, the following express
sion: I'VE copy from a paragraph in
The HERALD of last week not found in
the Educational Column, and not as a
paid advertisement.
Now in the first place the issue of The
HERALD referred to had no such para
graph in as the writer we'll knew. The
paragraph that he refers to may be
found in the issue of the 18th ult.,
among the Patch Grove items. In the
paragraph referred to, the word trained
did appear instead of the word transient,
as typographical error which was cor
rected in the next issue, all of which the
writer was we'll aware of when he wrote
his items. First, Retlaw seemed to find
fault because said paragraph did not
appear in the educational column. The
explanation for that is we are not pub
fishing an educational column. Again
he seemed to think that as paid adj
vertiSement would have been the place
for said paragraph. The explanation
for the latter is, that every gentleman
has enough to do to attend to his own
business; further if the editor of THE
HERALD don't know where items ought
to be inserted in his paper, that is his
business, not the gentleman's from Mt.
Hope. Now we are full of good wishes
for our neighbor gentleman for we know
he knows just how the word trained
ought to be used; also we know he is q
nice fellow, learned man and nothing
wishy-washy about him.
