Hint for Wheat Growers.

The best yields of wheat are on lands
that have a grass crop in the rotation,
especially of clover The growing of
wheat and corn in succession, with nc
change from them for a number OF
years. will lead to exhaustion unless
fertilizers are applied in sufficient pro
portions to prevent loss of fertility.
Grass. however, is crop of itself, and
also benefits the soil by shading it and
by securing nitrogen from the stmos.

TEMPERANCE INTERESTS.


 The meeting of the w. c. T. U., which was held at Mrs c. 0. Hungerford's, last week, was fairly well attended, one lady walking some distance to be present. Resolutions expressing sympathy for our bereaved sister, Mrs Lyke, were adopted, and also kind remembrances were expressed for another member, Mrs Nettie Akin, in the loss of her only sister. Mrs Barn1m read an article which denied the statement that went the rounds of the papers that Miss Will lard was seen drinking wine. The arti- cle closed with s'who has better right to drink the pure juice of the grape than Prohibitionists? Mrs Geddes and Mrs Osborne were appointed to arrange for another entertainment. A superinren- dent of Scientific Temperance Instruc- tion was chosen to take the place of Mrs Cass, who felt obliged to resign on ac- count of i'll health. The time was much too short after the necessary business was transacted to give full report of the state convention. Mrs Geddes will prepare paper In which will be be gathered gems from tho national con- vention, for our next meeting.

 CHURCH.
 The repairs on the Catholic church are so nearly completed that good idea can be formed of the great transformation that will be wrought in it's appearance. In addition 10 an extension of % feet to the audience room choir gallery has been erected and robing room for the pastor. A new heater will make the building warm and comfortable in the coldest weather. But one of the most noticeable features of the improvements is memorial window over the altar, the gift of Mrs Patrick Mcdonald. It is a life figure of St Patrick, after whom the church is named. We understand that other windows, the gifts of faithful Cath. olics, will be furnished soon. In the spring the interior will be frescoed and then our Catholic friends will have an edifice in ali it's furnishings of which they may we'll be proud.
