Queer and Bad Way of Wedding.

"sSSA e~A.<A ASsA~ ss~S u svCuuAHSs
A South London correspondent
writes: 1T would appear that some of
the young men and maidens in this part
of the world believe, or pretend to be.
lieve, that by assisting at legitimate
wedding ceremony, with intent that
they shall be themselves married-by
silently following the responses and ex-
changing of vows-they become united
as legally and economically as the par.
ties joining hands before the clergy
man. This curious idea has emerged
into notice on account of some little diff
ficulty in connection with baptismal
ceremony, where objection was taken
by some hostile women folk to the chris
tening on the ground that the parties
claiming to be the parents If the can
didate were only married at second
hand 1t did not transpire why this
circumstance was considered inimical
to the baby's right to the ordinance
the gossips of Lambeth are nothing if
not inconsequential. But inquiry re-
vealed that these vicarious weddings, if
they may be so termed, are not uncom-
mon in the district, and that the par

RAPE AND TURNIPS.
Not as Valuable for Green NINnurinE
as LeguminOus Crops, Nor
Quite as Profitable.

Rape and turnips are entirely depend
ent upon the soil for their nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash, therefore
they do not increase the amount of any
of these substances in the soil if
plowed under. They will, however, in
crease the amount of vegetable matter
or humus in the soil, but other crops
will do this more cheaply. Leguminous
crops, such as clover, COW peas, ETC.,
obtain considerable amount of nj
trogen from the air, therefore they not
only increase the humus of the soil but
increase the supply of nitrogen as well.
Rape and turnips, says writer in
Rural New Yorker, require soil which
is fairly fertile in order to do their best,
and soil which will grow rape and
turnips successfully will also grow lc-
guminous crops. From these three
statements it will be seen that rape
and turnips are not suitable for green
manuring; at any rate they are not so
valuable for this purpose as leguminous
crops. do not know of any good
farmer who uses rape or turnips for
green manure. They are highly es-
teemed as stock food and they should be
used for this purpose only. Some crops
will grow on extremely poor soils which
will not grow leguminous crops and
by blowing under such crops the phys
ical condition OF the soil may be so inn
proved as to enable the soil to produce
leguminous crops, notably clover. which
is liable to perish from drought on soils
poor in humus. Rye and buckwheat are
good examples of crops that will grow
on poor soils, and they are sometimes
used as the forerunners of clover to
prepare the soil physically. Rape and
turnips, however, will not grow sat
isfactorily on poor soils, hence there is
no excuse or reason for using them as
green manures.

Combs I'm Cold Weather,

Every winter damages the birds more
or less by injuring the combs. When a
comb is frosted it turns black and often
the points decay and fall off. 1t is very
painful, and results in loss of eggs, as
the birds will not lay until the comb is
thoroughly healed. The wattles also
freeze, especially when wet, as is the
case with birds that drink from an open
vessel. The best remedy for frosted
combs is to keep the birds free from
draughts and anoint the combs with
few drops of glycerin and crude petro-
leum mixed. To prevent the difficulty,
if necessary, cut off the combs and wat
ties with sharp knife or shears, dip
the head in alum water and put the
birds in dry, warm place. Should the
weather be warm rub the cut surface
with crude petroleum as a protection
against flies.-American Gardening.

Place the water, ground bone and
