sRsDlewaag After Corn.
III Tho Practical Farmer In q recent b

Algu1etv over o. large section Of the
s1te on this question: '.In preparing

TO replow or not, and win the same
treatment be applicable to oat6 stub
blef Over twenty farmers gave their
Views on this question, and the great
majority Of them Gsapproved Of the
plan Of replowing after corn, although
. few preferred 1t. In our boyhoOd
days It was always the custom to ploW
the ground In the fall, after the corn
Ind been cut preparatory to sowing
wheat but we never expected toseclre
as good q crop In this way az. on land
that had been thoroughly prepared pre-.
viously. We did not suspect the rea.
son then, but It seems quite clear to
Us now. After working all summer
long, in the cultivation OF the corn,
to prepare an ideal seed bed for win
ter wheat, solid ut the bottom, loose,
but not too fine at the top, 1t was
simply foolish to undo oil ,our work
by blowing that ground. We are con-

crop Of wheat
Is not 80 clear. The stubble Is In the
way, and besides, there is plenty Of
time, when a farmer wills It, to plow
his oats stubble, and harrow and roll
It until he can secure an ideal seed
bed. We once more call the attention
Of our readers to the fact that there
is no time to be lost now in starting
In to prepare the ground for winter
wheat. We would burn OF the stubble,
where 1t will burn, 50 as to get rid Of
insects, kill the weeds that may be
starting, etc. Plow the ground a rea-
sonable depth, and then harrow at
once, and each week until about the
middle Of September, which q early
enough In this latitude to SOW winter
wheat. We would then use press
drill, where one can be had, and where
this cannot be had, would use the best
drin that we could obtain.
It was for long time believed that
winter wheat could not prove success
full in Iowa This is now shown to be
q mistake, as winter wheat for num-
Der OF years has proved better crop
than spring wheat, and we see no
reason why It cannot be grown In any
part Of the state on lands that have
been subject to q clover rotation. We
would not care to try It except in an
experimental way on other lands. To
be successful, however, the seed bed
must be thoroughly prepared, and It
cannot be prepared on land that has
been plowed, unless the blowing is
done early, and the narrowing has been
frequent, so as to secure the kind of
seed bed that winter wheat invariably
demands. It may be said that wheat
is too low In price to justify It's culti-
walton. Wheat is now as high as al
most any other grain, and in fact pro-
portionately higher.-Wallace's Farm

THE CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.

Wednesday, June. 10, surprise
planned by the Ladies Aid Society OF
the Baptist church and Mrs. Fred
Ranney was carried out, and Aunt
Louisa Ellis was indeed surprised when
about fifty women came in TO see her.
She is member of the Baptist church
but is seldom able to be at the service.
She will tell you that she is never tired
of begging" as she terms 1T, for the
Baptist cause. When the organ was
bought last summer she had the sum
OF $50 to turn in for that object. She
never rejects the smallest Offering.
Knowing that the organ was not quite
paid for she began another fund for
that purpose. After pleasing CONVEX
sation with her and one another short
program was given at the close OF
which collection OF 81 was taken and
presented to Aunt Louisa for the organ
fund to which she responded That's
right" Refreshments of ice cream
and cake, bananas and oranges were
served and all present felt that it had
been good to be there, and left hoping
that one aged sisters life might be
spared many years.
All Odd Fellows and Rebekah De-
gree members whether members OF the
local lodges or not, are requested to
meet at the Odd Fellows hall, Sunday,

CUPID'S CAPTIVEs.

The Peterson-Hansen nuptials at
Greenville, Tuesday night, was the
swell event of the season and the ar
rangement and ceremony was a very
pretty one indeed.
The Congregational church was
packed to its utmost capacity. The
decorations in evergreens, plants and
flowers were elegant. A platform was
arranged before the pulpit over the
center of which hung large bell with
garlands OF evergreen running to the
corners OF the platform, forming a
charming bower.
To music OF the wedding march, four
little girls strung ribbons down the
aisles and the bridal party entered
slowly, preceded by the bridesmaids
and best men. The bride elegantly
gowned in white satin walked with her
father and was met at the altar by the
groom who led her to a position i'm
mediately under the bell. Rev. ID. l..
Hyde pronounced the ceremony and
the groom placed the ring on the
brides finger, sealing the contract
with kiss.
A reception was held at Hotel Phelps
In which no less than three hundred
guests participated, all Of whom were
introduced to the bridal party. Dane
ing was INDUCED in, the bride and
groom leading the first waltz. All Of
the bridesmaids were on the floor and
looked charming. Very many beauti
full and costly presents we're on display
in the private parlors OF Mr.. and Mrs
Phelps.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson left Wednes
day for a three months tour in the old
country, when they will return and
reside at Manistee.
