One Of the Midway Couples Married
Today by Judge Lightfoot.
Neither Can Speak English and "Speler"
Had to Assist in Performing the
Ceremony.
WAS A VERY UNUSUAL PROCEEDING

County Judge r. T. Lightfoot en-.
joys the distinction of having married
one of the few couples from Algiers
ever united in the state.
The groom was Mr.. David Dana, of
Tunis, Algiers, and the bride Miss
Celeste Costel, Of La Genlette, Al
giers. The groom is % and the bride
q and IL is the first venture of each.
Dana is the sleight of hand man
with the G. Akoun streets of Cairo
show, which is located within the
Orient at the Jubilee carnival, and his
bride is one Of the dancers in that
show also.
Mr.. Nicola Adbelnour, one Of the
Algerian spielers, acted as interpreter
rs neither the bride nor groom can
speak English, having been in amer
lea only ten months They went di-
reetly to Buffalo to do the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition from their native ooun-
try and are both star performers in the
show.
Judge Lightfoot spoke to the inter
pretor in performing the ceremony,
who translated the words into their
language and as the ceremony is
different from that in Algiers, being
short and TO the point, the bride did
not like il and could not be convinced
that she was married. They were
given a certificate however and this
seemed to satisfy them.

bark on one side. 1t was from this
spot, about four feet from the ground,
that the fungus grew. At the time Of
the taking of the picture the mush-
room was not yet "a hours old.
After the photograph was made the
fungus was cut from the tree and
taken to IN authority on such sub
jects, who was asked to state wheth-
er it was a poisonous variety or not.
After a brief inspection he diagnosed
the specimen as a Nalvaria Bombycina,
an edible variety that is considered by
naturalists to be one of the most beau
tiful mushrooms known. The speci-
men was given the authority" and
he had his wife cook it. When he was
seen the next morning he was enjoying
the best of health, and wished to know
where the tree was located that grew
such paltaable fruit.-Indianapolis

Kill the tent caterpillars while they
are small and bunched-not half the

The cantaloup growers should save
seed from the very best melons, for in
this way only can the quality be main
tanned or improved.
Spring is a better time to set out
trees than fall. but fall is better than
not to set them at all, remarks one
grower.
Mothtraps do more harm than good
in the orchard and catch more friends
than enemies, according to Missouri
horticultural authorities.

PLAN FOR A DAIRY BARN.

above these boxes or chutes, as one
room in either place or two separate
rooms, one for horse feed and the
other for cows. The drive above will

One straight drive affords easy

only a waste of time and fertilizer in
putting in a truck for carrying ma
nure. unless it is a barn already built,
into which a team cannot easily enter.
A car and track means dumping ma
nure near the buildings. We have
some barns not yet otherwise ar
ranged, but l am against the practice
and shall continue to condemn it.
1t will be observed that have placed
the box stalls or hospitals for COWS at
the opposite end from the horses and
horse box stalls for two purposes; to
secure plenty of sunlight, and to
equaliZe the space, so that animals
would not be close together in one end
or portion, and open spaces where ami
mails do not stand in another portion.
This will always necessarily take place
to some extent. Every effort should
be put forth to avoid it. We must
fight against condensation of mois-
ture. and that always takes place
where animals do not stand. simply be-
cause a lower temperature follows.

T T LAND NEEDED.
Gardeners Make Il Mistake when
They Try to Cultivate Too
Large n Tract.

Persons engaged in various indus
trial occupations often grow tired of
them, and long to be gardeners and
fruit growers in the country. One of
the commonest mistakes is in regard
to the quantity of land required.
What they have in their minds prob
ably nine times out of ten, is "buying
a farm" But a large amount of land
is not needed by the amateur horti-
%culturist. In general farming. when
land is to be devoted not only to till
age. but to meadows. pasture and
woodland, it is different. Yet the ma
jority of farmers have more land than
they can possibly manage to the best
advantage. Leaving out of the ques-
tion commercial gardening and or
charding on a big scale by capitalists
who use machinery and a large force
of hired help, the best results from the
kitchen and fruit garden are obtained
from small areas intensively cult
waited. Your pair of hands must be de-
pended upon mainly to do the work:
the garden may often be expanded be-
yond the proper limit.
1t is easy for a gardener to plant
much more in the spring than he can
possibly well care for during the sum-
mer. Amateurs are often tempted to
plant too much. 1t is not true that if
a small garden. carefully cultivated.
pays well, one several times It's size.
indifferently cared for. will be pro-
portionately profitable. Small fruits
are very eXacting. and one person can
care only for limited areas as they
should be cared for. There is moth
ing in their restrictions and limita-
tions deterrent to any one desirous of
engaging in horticultural pursuits. A
small amount of land can be obtained
in the country for a small outlay. One
can cultivate just such an area as his
physical strength permits. making
every inch of it equal to the finest gar
den. with profit and satisfaction.@S.

Fertiiixing the Orchard.

There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. \
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each year.
The plant food that is taken up in the
orchard is taken away from the soil
forever. None is returned to it. 1t is
estimated that in a single season an
acre of apple trees will draw from the
soil 40 pounds of nitrogen, 3s pounds
of phosphoric acid, and - pounds of
potash. These must be returned or
the productiveness of the orchard will
be lost.-Prairie Farmer.

Day of the MIX Cow.

Butter vill be butter unless all
signs fail, says the Breeders Gazette.
The dairyman has been envious of his
beef-making neighbor, but the tide
is now turning in the direction of the
milk cow. 1t could not be otherwise.
Some weeks ago we drew attention
to the fact that the fall contract
price for milk afforded to makers no
margin of profit and that prices must
be advanced to city consumers of
both milk and butter. That advance
has come and seems still to come.
Joined with the shortage of grain
and forage is the unfortunate cold,
dry and backward spring, and the
l~ateness of the grass and its weak
ness on the parched and exhausted
pastures of last summer have added
materially to the expense at which
milk has been made.

PLAN FOR DAIRY BARN.
New system of Construction, which
Introduce Several Ideas of
Real value.

The drawing will show some points
concerning dairy barn construction
that bring out several ideas of value.
First, compactness within reasonable
limits; cows and horses near each
other, providing for easy and cheap
handling of manureS; a warm room for
horses where they can be cared for
quickly by the mixers. If the builder
desired he could continue the parti-
ton A A through to the wall to point
B, and have a horse stable shut off from
the cows. l would not do it, nor would
l build the partition A a more than
three feet high, thus permitting a free
circulation of air. Horse stalls are
five feet wide. The box stalls adjacent
to horse stalls are reached through the
passage. and may be entirely cut off
from the stable proper, or may be
joined by a wire partition above the
managers. A carriage barn is afforded
upon the same floor, or may be used for
tools. Hay and straw for horses will
come down through the chutes from
above to each animal, C c represents
grain chutes for horses and cows. A
