APPLE BLOSSOM WEDDING
Proper Manner in Which to Do the
Decorating.

For May party or wedding "A room
decoration of apple blossoms is ex-
tremely pretty and effective, provided
the flowers are arranged naturally,
writes Eben E. ReXf0rd in an attract
i've aticle on Summer Weddings and
Parties in the May Ladies' Home
Journal. By that [ mean that they
must not be arranged in a manner
wholly out of harmony with their
natural habit Of growth. On the tree
the branches seldom go directly up.
On the contrary, they reach out And
to take one Of these branches into
a room and put it in position entirely
different from it's manner of growth
on the tree is to spoil the effect of it.
1t gives it an awkward unpleasant air
which can never be overcome until you
place it in its natural position again.
Prove the truth of this assertion by
placing a branch which, on the tree,
had a lateral spread, in an upright pO-
sition. You may twist it, and turn it,
and reverse it, but you cannot make
it look well. But place it in such a
manner that it reaches out, instead Of
up, and it will be found as beautiful
as ever. You have solved the problem
Of how to make it gracefully useful
by dispCsing it as Nature arranged it
on the tree from which it was taken.
Before attempting to use any flower
study it as it grows, and never force
it to take On unnatural positions, for
by SO doing you destroy its decorative
effect
When decorating a room with apple
blossoms it is safe to use the branches
about doors and windows al the top
rather than at the sides, because of
their Outreaching habit Branches hav-
ing something of a curve may be
chosen for this, and they can be given
a place a little below the top of the
casing on the side from which they
start. If one does not mind the ex-
pense the butt of the branch can be
tied to nail or ring with white or
pink ribbons.

CHAPTER. XXXILI.
The ASSAULT IN VAYRES.

TIE ASSAULT IN VAYRES.
About one hundred men crossed the
Dordogne with the royal party. The
who waited for the main body Of the
army to come up.
Not long after, the queen was in
stalled in her house, which she found
much more comfortable than she eI-
pected; Guitant announced that al
Captain Cauvagnac, who said that he
had important matters to relate, asked
Is he of our side?'
i do not think so:"
Learn then; if he is not, L will not
receive him.
L beg pardon for differing from
your Majesty" said Mazarin, but it
seems to me that it is precisely if he
is not on our side, that we should re-
ceiye him, for, in that case, he is
probably a traitor, and traitors are
useful
Let him enter, thel," said the
queen.
Cauvagnac came in with an ease and
and boldness which surprised her.
who are you sir?' asked she? some
what haughtily.
Captain Cauvagnac, your Majesty"
I'm what service?'
In your Majesty's, if you wish it."
Certainly, l wish it; and indeed
there is but one service; there are not
two queens in France"
Certainly not madam, there is
only One-her at whose feet I have
the honor to lay my humble respects
But there are two opinions-at least
l thought so just now"
What do you mean, sir?'
That I was just now on little hill
which overloOks the country, and 1
thought that L perceived that NJ.
Richou did not receive your Majesty
with the respect due to you"
Anne of Austria looked angry, and
said, Enough l presume you did not
ask for an audience merely to make
these foolish observations"
mo, madam; / asked for an au-
dience to tell you that you are a great
queen, and that my admiration for you
is boundless."
"Ah, reallyw
and that in consequence I have re
! solved to devote myself entirely to
your Majesty's service"
''ThankS,' said the queen, in an
ironical tone; and then turning to
Guitant, added, Monsieur, dismiss
this chatterer."
''Oh, madam, I am ready to go, but
F., then you will not have Vayres." And
] Cauvagnac, bowling gracefully, turned
j to go.
Madam" said Mazarin, in a .ow
voice, Il think you are wrong to send
away this man."
Return" said the queen, land
speak. After all, you are odd and
diverting."
Your Majesty is very good
What do you mean about Vayres?
Il say, that if your Majesty still
wishes to enter Vayres, I will intro
duce you there"
How"
Il have one hundred and fifty men
there"
What them
II give them to your Majesty, and it
.pplS 10 me that the devil is in 1t, If
y.th one hundred and fifty porters you
cannot get the gates opened"
The queen smiled. What do you
want for it," asked she.
Five hundred francs for each man. "
You shall have it"
And for myself"
lut something also for
yourself?"
Il should be proud to hold some post
under your Majesty"
What do you ask for?''
%l"1ld like TO be governor of
Branne"
Granted"
I'm that case, after little formality
the affair is settled If your Majesty

prepared in hopes that my services

AS TO RAPE.

The Iowa experiment station has
tested rape with other soiling crops
1t gave a yield of $4,000 pounds of
green food per acre, but caused a
shrinkage in milk and an offensive
odor in the butter. Sweet corn gave
the finest favored milk and butter Of
any soiling crop. 1t is suggested that
one way to use rape in feeding cows
would be to feed small quantities of
in combination with sweet corn.

Tie results Of all the experiments
with oats tried at the Illinois expert
ment station for the past five years.
according to bulletin No. %, suggest
that on the fertile soil of central east
ern Illinois with simple methods one
may expect in a series of years an
average yield an acre of a little over
30 bushels of grain and about 1 Il
tons of straw, the oats weighing rather
less than the standard weight of 81
pounds a bushel; that il is not adviS-
able to pillow the land in the spring if
the crop follows corn, the use of the
disk harrow giving better results; that
the crops shall be Sown Dear the last
Of March or first of April; that if sown
broadcast it is better to SOW from II
to IL bushels per acre, covering the
seed not more than one or two inches
deep. In regard to varieties the con-
clusion is that there is no variety
greatly superior to all others, so that
it is not wise to put full credence in
the claims often made for new yari-
cites; that some varieties are, however,
distinctly better than others; that
neither color nor plumpDess of kernels,
weight per bushel nor the form of the
head certainly determines value, but
that generally varieties with long,
slender comparatively light kernels
have the smallest percentage of husk
and probably the greatest feeding
value; that early maturing varieties
are to be preferred to those ripening
later; that it is desirable to harvest
the crop before it has fully ripened,
and that binding and shocking the
sheaves at once is an advantage rather
than a Disadvantage, if the grain is in
fit condition for cutting.

TO WILD CT TSE RETURNING.

When late I marked your southwark
flight,
In wedge-shaped focks pursued by
snow,
Ye flew, as fleet the seasons go,
They pass like watches in the night.
Yet welcome now in your return
As summer to these northern climes,
Since answer to my autumn rhymes,
By augury from you learn.
From parching glade or sulry fen,
Back to your native cline We come,
God calls you back to love and home;
So he recalls the sons Of men,
Times winter and life's exile past,
Back to their native heaven at last.

Thorns were originally used in fast

Thorns were originally used in fast
ening garments together. Pins did
not Immediately succeed thorns as
fasteners, but different appliances
were used, such as hooks, buckles and
laces. Tt was the latter half Of the
fifteenth century before pins were
used in Great Britain. When first
manufactured in England the iron
wire, of the proper length, was filed
to a point, and the other extremity
twisted into a head. This was a slow
process, and four or five hundred pins
was a good days work for an expert
hand The United States has the
credit of inventing the first machine
for making pins. This was In 1924.
The inventor was one Lemuel Well

NOTES.

There is not very much difference
in the cost of feeding a cow that
makes 80 pounds of butter in a year
and one making double as much.
Charcoal is almost a necessity for
hogs. Its cost is but little, and all
that is required is to place a large

Il have a young horse that seems
to be hide-bound, also short-winded.
What can [ do to help him." In re-
ply to this question we would say:
The popular phrase "hidebound" lit
orally means that the subject is in
poor condition. This is liable to Oc-
cur either from arrangement Of the
digestive organs or in consequence Of
the animal being fed on poor proven
der or worked beyond his strength.
Debility and emaciatiOn ensue. A
horse out of condition usually loses
flesh, the hair loses it's glossy appear
ance, the sink becomes unhealthy and
security, and he cannot perform his or
binary labor without apparent fatigue.
Treatment-The best treatment when
the season permits is a run on grass
and oats fed twice a day. In the
stable the treatment is as follows:
Give a mild cathartic, and follow this
up by giving fluid ext. golden-seal ID
o.. fluid ext. nuX vomica l DRAM
fluid ext. ginger IL o., mix and adj
minister in IL pint Of cruel three
times a day; feed oats morning and
noon and a bran mash with faxseed
at night.

pills as reported by the American Bee
Journal:
Mr.. HineS-All the time that it takes

Mr.. Benton-I would rather my bees
wouldn't swarm, for in so doing the
comb honey crop is decreased in my

Mr.. KimbGe-I want one swarm from

two colonies for the latter part Of the
clover crop and two colonies to gather
the fall crop, and the two will gather
more than one.
Frank Coverdale-I can't prevent

is to run all the working force into the
new swarm for IA days after hiving,

crop. and much nice comb honey will

TO be COntinuedO
SIMPLE CLEANSING AGENTS

A solution Of soda will be found of
great use in the kitchen, where it
should be kept in a bottle near the
kitchen sink. To prepare it put a pint
of common dry soda with three quarts
of boiling water and let it stand on the
stove until all the soda is dissolved
When cold put into bottles OF cOnven-
lent size. 1t will be found handy for
washing the dish cloths and towels
and brushes and for pouring down the
kitchen sink to keep it sweet smelling
and free from greasy deposits.
Add teaspoonful Of boraX to a pan
Of hot soapsuds; put your table silver
in it and let it stand two hours: rinse
it with clear water and polish with
a soft cloth OF channels.
To clean enameled saucepans wash
inside and out with hot water and
soda and scour with a mixture of salt
and fine ashes-two parts ashes to
one Of salt Rinse with hot water and
dry.
Ifumi'ce stone or kitchen mineral
soap is the most useful in dish wash
ing. It's free use will remove stains
from white knife handles, brown sub
stances that are often found adhering
to tin and earthen baking dishes, and
the SCOT which collects on kettles and
pans set over a wood or kerosene fire.
There is hardly any kind of stain
which this soap will not remove.
