 A Bachelor Entertains.

The reception given by Peter Marie to the Thursday Evening club at his old fashioned residence in West Nine teenth street was by far the most re- markable and interesting entertain ment of the season. The surprise of the evening was the exhibition of DOT celain portraits of thirteen ladies be- longing to the Thursday Evening club, disposed in very quaint and ingen- ious fashion and hung on the walls of the drawing rooms.
 An immense four leaf clover, stand ing perhaps four feet high. reckoning the stem, and three other clover leaves boasting the ordinary number of pe- tals, were the foundation. The four leaf clover was hung in the rear draw ing room, while the three leaf clovers embellished the walls of the drawing room in front of the house. On the thirteen petals thus formed and on the background of the ivy whereof these immense clovers were made the pictures of the thirteen women were placed and surrounded by light swans down, which showed strongly and effectively in contrast with the dark green of the ivy. The whole affair was we'll conceived and admirably ex ecuted The portraits were artistic ally done, and the clover leaves were exceedingly striking and effective dseurafions in the1n9lyeA-Nsw York Ir&I s K K

THE HERMAN REUNION.

The Merriman family picnic was held at Cherry Park, near Canton, on We'd nesday, August 6. In the evening of the same day they all met at J. A. Mer- liman's, in Unionville. The Tunxis Valley Herald of August 8 gave the fol- lowing report of the reunion:
 Pleasant weather favored the reunion at Cherry Park grove. Ample provision had been made for the occasion and &C., commodations for the teams had not been overlooked, MT. J. A. Merr1man having provided full larder for the horses. Of the "old stock" of 10 broth CTS and sisters nine were present, John, Harlow, Charles, Joseph, Robert, Lucy, Sarah, Louise and Julia. Hiram Merri- man, of Springfield, was the absentee, This family of 10 children, together with their children and grandchildren, number 125; of this number 90 were present. Harlow Merriman, who lives in Falls Village, has the largest family, numbering 32 with the children and grandchildren, and they were all pres- ent. The next largest family is that of Lucy Merriman Perkins, of Litchfield, 25 in number. Tables were set in the exhibition building and loaded with an appetizing variety and quantity of good things. The gathering included num- Der of fine singers and musicians An organ and two violins furnished instru- mental music and nearly all joined in the singing. Rev D. A. Dent, present by invitation, was called upon for few remarks. He expressed his pleasure at meeting so many friends. Picnics made merry men, and he had discovered that Merrimans made good picnics. With stories and jokes he kept the company in gay mood, and then in more seri- ous vein spoke of the responsibility inn posed upon a single family. The father of these 10 children settled in Litchfield in 1900, and in 90 years his descendants number 125, and the next generation equally promising. The showing is one to be proud of Such an honest, up- right. industrious family is blessing to the state. The analogy between Abra- ham of the bible and the father who settled in Litchtield was shown. In con clusion he asked them to sing God be with you till we meet again"

He went to Dr Hoag, of Mil lerton, who extracted the steel but told James that he had lost his eye. Fri day two young ladies were driving near the residence of Thomas Dimona when their horse became frightened and, leav- ing the wagon in the lot and possibly mistaking itself for an inn horse, it took the railroad track from Cooks crossing and came out at Ore Hill, where it was caught and put In barn, not much worse for it's adventure. The young la- dies escaped without serious injury. We are told that the owner of the horse said the wagon was not very good and it was borrowed, so it did not matter much about that ..

Planting Strawberries.

Strawberries planted in the early au- tumn have the advantage over spring planting in producing fair crop the fol- lowing season, whereas the berries from ;s spring planting will be few. Paintings in the fall, however, in cold latitudes, must have mulch protection through the winter, which should be raked of in early spring. The best soil is deep, rather sandy loam, but fine crops are raised on variety of soils if well drained. On old and worn soils large application of well routed barnyard ma- nure should be worked in before the planting. If applied year beforehand all the better. For gardens there are two principal methods of planting. One of beds four feet wide, carrying length wise three rows of plants set one foot apart in the rows.
 Parallel beds should be separated by a walk two feet wide. Under this arrange ment the fruit can be cultivated and gathered from the walks without tramp ing down the beds. Another method is to plant in rows two feet apart-plants twelve inches apart in the rows. Early drawn plants are sometimes heeled in for short time and partly shaded and watered, by which new roots are formed and are transplanted later to the beds on days when the soil is in the most favor able condition for their growth. For field culture the rows should be about four feet apart. The settings should always be plants of one seasons growth, and those nearest the parent plant are to be preferred.

FARM, FIELD, GARDEN.
FARM TOPICS CONSIDERED IN A
 PLAIN, PRACTICAL MANNER.

The Philosophy of Spraying Explained
 So Clearly as to Leave No Excuse for
 Any Farmer to Neglect the Application
 of Insecticides.
 The exceedingly clear explanation of the manner in which the various insect icides prevent insect injury when sprayed upon infected trees and plants is given by Clarence M. Weed, entomologist of the Ohio state station:
 The substances applied by spraying act in either, or m some cases both, of two ways: First by poisoning the insect when eaten by it, and second by closing the breathing pores of the insect, or act ing as an external irritant. Paris green and London purple are examples of the first class of insecticides, and pyrethrum and kerosene emulsion of the second class, while hellebore acts in both ways. Substances of the first class have sim ply to be distributed in small particles over the foliage or fruit of the infested plant, where the insect in biting will swallow it with the food eaten. Thus in the case of the Colorado potato beetle the potato leaves are coated with minute particles of Paris green or. London pur- pie, and the insects take some of these particles with their food and are de- stroyed. So also in the case of the cod ding moth, or apple worm.
 The parent moth deposits an egg in the blossom end of the apple, and this egg matches into 8 worm or caterpillar that eats it's way into the fruit. By spraying the tree with Paris green or London purple in water when the apples are small some particles will be lodged in this blossom end of the fruit and the worm, in attempting to enter, will eat part of these and be killed. Thus in this case the spraying takes effect, not on the moth by which the eggs are laid, but rather upon the larva which hatches from the egg.
 With the plum curculio the case is diff ferent. Here the spraying takes effect by destroying the parent beetle before the eggs are laid. The beetles gnaw the fruit and foliage for food, and so when these are coated with poison they are ex- posed to injury. In spraying an insecti- eide which kills by contact the aim is simply to get it distributed where it will reach as many insects as possible, and generally the more forcibly it is applied the more effective it will be. The great est drawback that has heretofore been experienced by those who sprayed with arsenites is the danger of injuring the foliage sscorching" or burning" This may be guarded against by using weak mixtures, keeping the liquid well stirred and applying evenly; and it is pretty we'll proved that it is safer to apply on . cloudy day or late in the afternoon than during the hot sunshine of midday. Of course especial care must be taken to keep all poisons out of the reach of ehil- dren and stock
