Reception for Mrs. c. s. Parker.

The following from the Kansas
City journal will be interesting to the
many friends Of Mrs. c. S. Parker
formerly Miss Amsden Of this city:
Perhaps the most delightful event
Of the past week, If not Of several
weeks, was Mrs. c. D. Parker's re-
ception on Tuesday for her charming
daughter, Mrs. Carl Sutherland
Parker. Simplicity, elegance and
perfect taste marked every detail Of
the afternoon, during which several
hundred guests were entertained. An
eminently sensible innovation was
made in so arranging the receiving
hours as to allow an hours interval
for the refreshment and restoration
Of the hostesses and assisting women,
for, when all is said, the duties Of
hospitality on such an occasion are
onerous. The hours we're from 1880
to 2 and from 8 to 8 O'Clock.
Lovely bridesmaid roses decorated
the drawing room, great yellow
chrysanthemums were in the living
room, and the dining room had an
especially attractive arrangement Of
American Beauty roses. Miss Burn
ham, Miss Ethel Ridenour and Miss
Louise Hopkins served orangeade in
the library. Mrs. Parker was also
assisted by Mrs. Harlow W. Baker,
Mrs. j. S. Loose, Mrs. S. M. Neel,
Mrs. John W. Merrill, Mrs. Henry 5.
Boice, Mrs. Walter B. Richards, Miss
Fannie Logan, Mrs. Joseph Meinrath,
Mrs. P. D. Ridenour, Mrs. Ferdinand
Neal, Mrs. H. T. Abernathy, Mrs.
Charles Marsh, Mrs. Edwin Zea.
One OF the most enjoyable features
Of the afternoon was the music fur
nished by artists Of such excellence as
to command attention and admira-
tion. MIR. Carl Walther, the violin.

"Serenade," the intermezzo from

FARMERS DISCUSS DAlRY1Na.

RHINEHART, Dec. 1.-The Farmers,
Institute which was held In Hiawatha
school house vas a success as far as
interest is concerned. The attend.
ance at both the afternoon and even.
ing meetings was light, but there
was no lack Of interest on the part Of
those present.
The talk by j. q. Haney Of the
Agricultural college on "Alfalfa and
Its Value" combined with 1.-The Kan.
sas Dairy Cow" seemed to strike the
popular chord. By means Of chart
be showed the value Of alfalfa as
compared with the other feeds, and
dwelt on the different purposes for
which it could be used as feed. To
those who are interested in dairying
he recommended it as the best feed
to produce good flow Of milk, when
properly balanced by some other feed.
He urged the farmers Of this locality
to make more Of a speciality Of this
crop for as he expressed it, "You
have got to have alfalfa to feed sue
cessfully in Kansas"
A discussion followed in which
nearly every farmer present partici-
pated. In course Of this discussion
the "Soy Bean" was mentioned, and
Mr.. Haney recommended it highly as
a ration for COWS and hogs, and urged
a trial Of it this season.
"New Varieties Of Wheat" was the
subject assigned to Mr.. Westgate. He
explained that their experiments at
the college had not been carried on
long enough to bring forth any new
varieties, but expressed hope that
they would be able to present some
soon. He described in an interesting
manner the experiments which had
been made in "seed. breeding" in an
endeavor to bring forth variety
which, beside being rust-prooi,
drouth.proof and good yielder, con-
tanned much more protein than the
common varieties.
