Morrice-Fields.

One of the most brilliant social events
of the season occurred Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock, at the home of F. G. Nor
rice, northwest of this place, when his
daughter, Miss Amy, was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Geo. S. Field, rising young
lawyer of Detroit. At the appointed
hour the bridal party marched into the
parlors, which were decorated with cream
bunting and cut flowers and smilax, to
the strains of the wedding march, played
by Miss Fife Manning, of Owosso, a
cousin of the bride. Miss Morrice was
accompanied by Miss Fannie Cook, Of
Corunna, and Mr.. Field by DR.. Bentley,
of Detroit The bride wore white satin,
with chiffon and pearl trimmings, and
the groom the usual black. Rev. John
Claflin, Of Leslie, performed the marriage
ceremony, after which light refreshments
were served. Guests to the number of
eighty were present from Bay City, Sagi-
nav, Owosso, Corupna and Detroit. Mr..
and Mrs. Field left on the evening train
for their future home OH 25th street, De-
troit.
Mrs. Field is graduate of the Corunna
high school and has since taught at the
same place, where she was loved by all
who knew her. Mr. Field also finished
the course in the same school and after
wards graduated from the U. of NJ. May

Subsoil Flowing,

Great mistakes are made in plOWing,
says a correspondent of the Western
PlOwman. Unless a subsoil ploW that
will simply break up the subsoil with
out turning it to the surface Is used
blowing should be shallow. The sub
soil is often stone hard so hard that no
roots can penetrate it. Such a subsoil
should be broken up by such a plow as
have mentioned. But ordinarily
packed ground is not detriment. Some
farmers have conceived the notion that
soil should be made powdery by pull
Verizatlon, The soil should be freed of
clods, but the planter who plants trees
or plants without fning the soil about
them will soon learn his mistake. The
roller fines the SOIL That is what makes
1t useful. II you plant corn on ground
that has never been plowed, and is in the
ordinary condition Of prairie soil in the
spring, the corn will do we'll, If it can
get the start of the weeds. Wheat and
oats need a soil more thoroughly pull
verized, but even they do not require
deep plowing. The plow that simply
breaks up the hard subsoil is good
thing, but 1t does not need to be used
every year. The second year after US
ing it, plow shallow. Shallow plowing
means less draft, and that is an i'm
portant consideration, for you can drag
a team to death in half the time that
you need to. 1t has always been my
policy to save the horses all the strain
can. know men who have worn out
two teams to my one, simply because
they took no thought of saving horse
muscle. They shamefully wasted it.
Flowing should always be done evenly
and nicely. The man who roots up the
ground with a plow ought never to
stand behind the plow The surface,
and for three or four inches down, the
soil cannot be made too fine, and it is
a good plan to go over the plOwed field
with one Of the several implements that
cut up the ground, especially if it is
sod ground When through with the
plow, put it in a dry house, and paint
the iron work with kerosene oil. 1t
will prevent rust and the dryest house
Is apt to be damp enough to cause Sc
rious rust. Two hours time in housing
implements and putting kerosene on the
iron work will save quite a number Of
dollars in a year.

Renewing An Old Orchard.

In an address before the Missouri
Horticultural Society, Mr.. j. Ames said
that the question of How to renew an
old orchard" was most important one
and was confronting many people who
are now occupying old farms. To ar
rest old trees from their downward ca
reer and restore them to renewed vigOr
and fruitfulness would, indeed, seem
impossible. Nevertheless, just this has
been done. Many orchards go to decay
prematurely. This may result from
many or a combination Of causes. Trees
that have borne large crops Of fruit year
after year are first to fall If not abun-
dainty supplied with the plant food used
in the production Of crops, while those
trees that have little but leaves con-
tinue 70 grow, and appear healthy and
vigorous. The first old orchards were
not properly appreciated and received
but little care, hence, year and year,
destructive insects have multiplied, and
fungi and insects affect the entire or

upon the particular substances required
by the trees, has become exhausted.

on every hand. II such an orchard
should fall into our hands, the first
aim and purpose would be to effect the
entire revolution by renewing the soil
with an abundant supply of stable ma
nure and wood ashes spread over the
entire surface of the ground, putting
but little in contact with the trees. A
new and complete change Of the tops
by regrafting and putting on new tops,
with change Of fruit on every tree,
should be done, also thorough clean
ing of the trees and the application of
a wash composed Of lime, crude car
bolic acid and strong lye for the de-
struction of all insect life, and the
cleansing and renewing of the bark to
u smooth, healthy condition. Spray for
the destruction Of the Goblin moth and
scab fungi. This, with frequent and
continued cultivation and a fresh ap-
plication of fertilizers until the soil is
restored to high state Of fertility, will
reiuvenate the old trees"

Governing a Horse,

A writer in the Florida Ruralist thus
treats the matter Of governing horse:
Horses are essentially creatures Of
habit. OF gentle, confding dispositions,
but excessively nervous; timid at times
irritable, and prone to resist strenu-
ously anything that frightens them. If,
for example, you put rope halter on
an unbroken colt and tie him to a post,
the more the rope cuts into his tender
skin the greater will be his struggles,
while he will soon yield to a halter
that inhicts no pain. Through nervous
fright horses sometimes become panic
stricken and absolutely uncomfortable.
They suffer also occasionally from what,
for want of better name, may be called
nervous paralysis when they seem to
be physically incapable of motion. This
condition is almost invariably the result
Of brutal treatment, and the only rea-
sonab!e explanation of it is that the
first emotion aroused in the horse by
punishment is feared; and when he finds
that he cannot escape, anger and a spirit
Of resistance are mingled with his fright,
and that these combined emotions pro-
duce this morbid state.
'TThe horse is quick to take advantage
The advocate., 1897-11-03

OF the ignorance or fear Of those who
control him. AS compared with the dog,
he is somewhat slow Of comprehension,
but he differs from the dog In this also,
that he seldom becomes too old to learn
new tricks and never fOrgets what he
has once thoroughly learned.
1T may also be set down, as rule,
with few exceptions, that he meant to
do just right; If he errs, it Is either from
ignorance, pain or fright, rarely from
stubbornness or vice. This seems to
be generally unknown, or at least dis
regarded, for of all the animals the
horse is the least understood, the most
harshly judged and unjustly treated,
and for the least infraction Of discipline
he is too often brutally punished. If
men who train horses would control
their tempers and endeavor to ascer-
tain the cause of the animals misbe-
havior they would find that there is
often a good cause for his actions.
"The eye is the best index to the ami
mails feelings. The ears are very ex-
pressiVe, but they do not reveal so
plainly the emotions that are dOminat-
ing him as the eye does. Therefore,
study the eye, with its varying express
sions, and when you can read their
meaning you hold the key to one of the
chief secrets OF successful training.
"The horse should be convinced that
resistance is useless, but do not be i'm
patient or harsh; remember that success
is the reward of unwearied patience.
If you fail at first keep trying until you
succeed. Do not be discouraged If you
do not seem to make much progress;
your task may take weeks or even
months, but if you persevere you will
triumph"

mill and dairy. He asslmilates more
Of the most concentrated feed stuffs than
any other animal on the farm. Quicker
returns come from him than from
horses, cattle or sheep. He pays the
rents in European countries, lifts the
mortgages in the Northern States, and
in conjunction with the COW he will
redeem the Worn-Out cotton and tobacco
fields of the South. Avoid permanent
residences for the hog; move him about
so that his environments may be clean
and uncontaminated by germs that de-
velop rapidly where they have suitable
media. Avoid close breeding, as 1t in

Marketing Farm Produce"

The scope of this latest farmers bull

partment Of Agriculture mo. g. Mar

formerly manager and editor Of the
American Farmer, Illinois, pp. 2S, figs.
y does not include discussion of the
present conditions Of the trade, but,
taking the trade as it is now cOnsti-
tuted, aims to give to producer and
shipper the benefit of such information
as a careful study of the situation at the
market end indicates they badly need.
The success of the average farmer,
being dependent upon an aggregate Of
small profits, is probably more threat
ened by the careless manner in which
his produce is packed than by any other
one thing, as the expected profit may
be turned into loss by the imperfect
or improper condition in which an ar
ticle reaches market, when if proper
care had been exercised, or judgment
used, there would have been prime ar
ticle offered for sale, and perhaps a
handsome net profit, instead Of de-
mand for money to pay freight bill re-
turned to the shipper.
The bulletin, after giving a descrip-
ton of the trade, general rules about
packing, and an exposition of the COM
mission merchants position, goes into
the detail of particular directions for
packing various kinds of produce.

The price at the slaughter house ranged

ALITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered with
Scrofulous 4umors - How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrotula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
