How 1 RAISED PLUMs.-Seven wears
ago last spring l procured about thirty plum
trees from Geneva nursery, and planted
them out in an old garden. They grew
very fast. The third year they nearly oil
blossomed, but the fruit was all stung by
curcnHo and dropped off. The next year
they were again full of blossoms | was told
by a neighbor that if | would take slaked
lime and dust the trees while the dew was on
them would get fruit, but no fruit that
year. The next year | tried two other
prescribed remedies one was hanging tan
zy on the limbs that had been we'll soaked
in molasses water the same result, no fruit =.
The next year I tried the remedy (prescrib-
ed by most plum growers) the maui and
sheet. In this way | saved about q one
third crop, and probably could have saved
them all had it not been for long rain
that kept me out of the orchard for three
or four days In that time think the mis-
chief was mostly done. The last year /
determined to make one more effort, as |
began to get discouraged. We raise good
many chickens. put their coops close to
the orchard and turned in my hogs to root
up the gro ind and pick up what stung fruit
would drop off and then every morning 1
scattered wheat screenings under the trees
and while the chickens were picking it up
I went around to every tree and gave it a
good jar with heavy-padded mau j that /
fixed for the purpose. The result last year
was tho finest lot of plums that ever saw.

WHO KNOWS

How a Young Groom AIunincentIy Feed
the Preacher, and the Latter Made the
Bride a Present.
1t was their first wedding. The groom
was "neW," so was the bride, and the
congregational clergyman had commit
ted matrimOny only IN his imagination.
Things did not pass OF so smoothly as
many weddings before or since have
done. A good deal Of the solemnity Of
the occasion was rubbed of when the
young preacher asked the groom if he
would take the bridesmaid for better or
worse, and there was a necessity of be-
ginning all over when the sweet little
bride entered a blushing yet vigorous
protest. Finally, however, it was all
over; the twain was one flesh, and the
little wife was weeping in the arms Of
the mother who had nursed her so many
years, cared for her so kindly, only that
she might 60 away from her when most
the aged arms and dim eyes needed sup
port and help. The groom slipped up
to the nervous minister, and as that gen
tleman was about to pass out into the
night, pressed a coin into his hand.
'.A $50 gold piece, % thought the young
preacher. His heart beat faster now
than when he was officiating in the we'd
ding. He needed the money so much.
Indeed, he often wished his meager sal
airy was only half its size, he had such
difficulty In collecting it. And now to
receive $50 all at once-Why it. Then
it occurred to him that it was customary
for the minister to make the bride a pres
emit of his first marriage fee. The good
man sighed as he removed his thin over
coat and returned to the room where the
guests were offering their cOngratula-
tions to the newly welded couple.
81 forgot something" said he, as he
approached the bride. "This is the first
marriage fee 1 have ever received. 1t is
yours. It should be kept as a reminder
Of this occasion"
The young bride stretched out her
hand and the coin rung as 1t touched
her marriage ring. The guests looked
up; the unconscious wife did not close
her hand upon the 5O-cent piece that lay
there, and Gll saw it. The minister was
glad It was his first marriage; the guests
tried to appear as if they did not see the
half-dollar, and the reporter quietly
smiled and thought perhaps the young
husband was saving up to buy the di-
Vorce. Who knows?
