A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Frank is Now to be Called Mr.. Blair

Frank is Now to be Called Mr.. Blair.
Mr.. R. F. Blair, one of the prom
nent young attorneys of the city,
was united in marriage last even
ing at the First Presbyterian
church, to Miss Lille Lee Weir, a
well known and greatly esteemed
young society lady Of San
Antonio. The wedding took place
at S:15 o'clock, and the ceremony
was performed by the Rev. David
Hanson Irwin, pastor of that
church. The maid Of honor was
Miss Mamie Cresson, and Mr..
Blair's best man was Mr..
Richard Buckley. The wedding
march, and the beautiful
strains of music heard all during
the service, were rendered by Prof.
j. M. Steinfeldt. After the solemn
words had been spoken by the
minister, Mr.. and Mrs. Blair were
conveyed to the Southern Pacific
depot, and they took the 8 o'clock
train for New Orleans, where they
will visit a few days. They will
go from there to Chicago and see
the Worlds fair, after which they
will return to this city to reside.
Both of these parties have large
circle of warm friends, and they,
with the LIGHT, extend congratu-
Iations to the newly united pair.

BEST FARM FENCE.

In our section of country the Usage
orange hedge, which seemed to promise
durability as well as protection, has
been tried, writes a Southwestern Ohio
farmer. Experience, however, de-
veloped so mary objections that it is
now rarely p1aated as % farm fence.
Many are using wire fences, which
have their advantages and defects, also
board fences and post and rail fences
are used. / have had g long and varied
experience in fences. and have come tn
the conclusion that where q enc is to
remain along q public road or for q
permanent division between fields that
preference should be given to the ordi-
nary board fence on account OF its
durability and comparative cheapness.
Were it not for the early rottlng Q the
posts when made of timber other thar
locust there would be no question IS
TO the wisdom of this preference.
I have made o board fence twenty
Ave wears ago in which the sawed posts
were Of seasoned oak. Many of these
POSTS are still in use, end the fence is
mainly supported by stakes driven
down and nailed to the posts above
ground. With locust posts I consider

FERTTLizING ORCHARDS.

Professor I. P. Roberts sent to the
Western New York Horticultural So
ciety an interesting paper or this SUBJ
ject, in which he said that the par
t;cular advantage of forest soils is the
great amount Of humus they contain.
The roots in the soil serve as drainage
tubes, and as they rot away the soil
becomes hard and compact.
In many orchards the cheapest way
to get plant food is by the intelligent
use of the drain tile. In those
that are naturally undetermined this
would not pay. Where an additional
fertilizer is wanted stable manure is
the most available and cheapest form,
but it contains too much nitrogen in
proportion to it's mineral elements,
and is apt to force the growth Of wood
too much. 1t phould, therefore, be
well rotted before being applied.
Where nitrogen is wanted it can be
obtained cheaper by the use of vetches
and other leguminous plants. The
vetch is the most suitable plant for
covering the land late in the season.
The seed can be sowed in June or July,
and plants will cover the ground COM
pletely by winter. Farmers Home

TO KEEP COWS CLEAN

One of the greatest difficulties in the
management of a dairy is to keep the
COWS clean and to avoid brushing Or
carding them for this end. The proper
arrangement of the floor is a relief in
in this respect, and it. should slope at
least two inches in the four and a half
or five feet needed for the floor. A
gutter behind the cows fourteen inches
wide and eight inches deep will then
collect all the manure, and abundant
litter will do the rest; but this must
not be long straw; it should be short,
as cut straw, Or dry swamp muck, or
sawdust. But, in any case, the card
ing and brushing and sometimes wash
ing and the use of q rough towel are
indispensable, even if the cows could
instinctively keep themselves clean, for
this has a healthful result on the skin.
which cannot be secured in any other.
way, and pays well for the time and
labor spent upon it. Thus, no one
should begrude the labor and time thus
spent as something unnecessary, and
therefore to be avoided If possible.

Ii0n.Tiger Hybrids.

An attempt is now being made by
the Royal Geological societyo Of Ireland
to obtain some hybrids or eross-breeds
between the two largest species of cat
namely, the lion and the tiger.
That such hybrids have been produced
before is an established fact, the most
authentic case in question being the
birth of three half-bred cubs to q lion
and a tigress in Atkins's Menagerie at
Windsor in 1924. The cubs were ex-
hibited to George ", who christened
them lion-tigers, but they died very
soon afterwards. In 1927 two other
cubs IF g. like species were born in the
same m~enagerie, and survived rather
longer. The stuffed specimens of both
of these a now be seen, one in the
British Museum, the other in the
Science and Art Museum, Edinburgh.
In the present instance there is every
reason to anticipate success, as the
Dublin Gardens have already
fully reared over 100 lion cubs
