structed to confer with Mr.. Aultfather and
others at Minerva with view OF arranging for
a special meeting at that place.
On motion of Mr.. Wise the executive com

use at June meeting Urn accepted with
thanks.
Report of committee on black knot Clayton
Holl reported that many parties were cutting
of the knots, as though II was doing some
good.
Mr.. Baylis thought the thanks Of the
society was due Mr.. and Mrs. Wise for the
very elegant manner in which they have en-
tertained the society. Baylis congratulated
the society on having such worthy members
and paid glowing tribute to the sterling
worth of man who, with the help of his
estimable wife, had from such small begin
nings build for themselves such beauti-
fol home. The society endorsed the speech
with hearty vote of thanks. Thanks were
also rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Brown
for the button hole bouquets for members of
the society. Mr.. Baylis read paper on the
fertilization of worn out soil by the means of
pulverized rocks by K. q. Horr of the New
York Tribune.
Mr. McGregor had studied the subject and
would write a paper on II for next meeting.
Mr. Lawrence thinks the washing from the
rocks is what produces such wonderful fertility
in the valleys of California.
Ii took our host, Watson Wise, just three
| minutes to knock the stutfn out OF the fine
| spun theory of the German chemist quoted by
| Mr. Horr. Mr.. Wise said that the ingredients
| that enter into the composition of plant food
are potash. nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and
! al, sl,a nf ntNh pf q
| found in ground rock. He characterized the
whole article as well laid scheme of some
agent who has stone crushers to sell.
| Mr.. Horr had recommended some farmers to
experiment with ground stone, but MIR. Wise
said the theory had been exploded forty years
| ago.
c. W. Faust sat down on ground quartz as a
| fertilizer in about the same manner as did Mr..
Wise.
Master Vandersoll again entertained the So
| ciety by "An Address to a Jury"
| Miss Jessie Naudersoll rendered another solo
| in pleasing manner.
| Mr.. Faust, having arrived late had not been
heard from as to the condition of his garden.
He reported his carry cherries all frozen;
young raspberry canes frozen, and thinks more
damage has been done than yet appears; but
the cool, cloudy weather is favorable for the re.
covery of damaged fruit buds that are not too
far gone. More advanced strawberries, he says,
are frozen; later ones may yield some fruit.
| Blackberries are total wreck. Asparagus
that was in good condition will now be a fail.

If the people only knew how insecure
the modern door lock was they wouldn't
feel very safe at nights All ordinary
door locks can be opened with shoe but
toner i have seen many Yale locks
opened with an ordinary pocket knife.
There is one merchant in this town who
can open his lock with piece of postal
card. 1t would be safer II man kept his
doors unlocked at night. For If man
would go to house for the purpose of
robbery and find the door unlocked he
wuold be very likely to go away, fearing
that some one was inside prepared for
him.-W. II. Bachtel.

froze last night about as bad as the other
time and it looks as if apples and pears
would nea.ly all drop off. Lou Kurger,
who lives up above Cairo, says the frost
made bad work there and even froze the
grass so that you can smell 1t along the

bills could be pasted up but tacks were
used. And we boys used to strike the bill

the job of leathering his tacks. What Il
lot we were, half dozen little fellows
bare footed, pants rolled up, straw hat
and one toe wrapped in rag. That was
the regulation equipment. There we
were lined up for work. Why we would
pound away all day sticking tacks through
little pieces of scrap leather to get into
the show.-R. A. Cassidy.

"a deed of transfer given BY Mcbride to
his nephew, Thomas Mcbride, Jr., before
his death. The contention of plaintiff
was that the elder Mcbride was incom-

Judge Otis finds that the old man was
perfectly comp tent to make the trans

with the provision that the nephew was

of his life and furnish him $40 a month

court remarks that while he has every
regard for the testimony Of those who
gave evidence as to the old mans condi-

they set the standard TOO high in Judging
Of his competency to enter into a legal
