Twas Good to be There.

The annual campfire of Geo. II.
Legate Post, which took place on
the evening of December 3lst, as us
ual, was second to none of the many
heretofore. The customary substan
tial supper was served, and the citi-
zens turned out well to partake of
the same. Major Byers, of Monroe,
the princial entertainer, proved to be
a whole team in himself--he could
talk periodically, recite amusingly,
sing 'somew hatly" and make the
welkin ring generally. Rev. Lewis,
father of our lumber dealer, being
present from Grant county, contrib
uted, together with others, spicy and
appropriate addresses. Comrade Rev.
Hurd, of Dodgeville, not only spoke,
but sang in his inimitable man
ner some wartime pieces. He
is rightly called the pathetic song
bird of the army. All of this was in
terspersed with appropriate selec-
lions by male quartette consisting
of Messrs Cork, Williams, Huxtable
and Hughes.
Never did caG.p fire prove more
enjoyable to the people of this place
while true patriotism welled from
every heart.

HOLDS MARRIAGE RECORD
Large Experience in Tying Con-
nubtal Knots.

As a modern Gretna Green Aurora
may not be as famous as St. Joseph,
Mich, but the fact remains that
Frederick Brown, popular Justice
of the peace in that city, recently
married his four hundredth couple,
and is now well started on his fifth
century, reports Chicago exchange
Every clergyman in the city envies
Justice Brown his business. They re-
alize that he has the advantage over
them, for he is practicing attor-
ney, and when the marriage does not
turn out well he is ready to help in
the divorce court.
The judge is courtly gentleman
of the old school, to whom courtesy
comes as a part of his nature.
He performs the marriage cere.
mony with unconscious dignity, and
kisses the bride with all the unc-
ton and ardor which the occasion
warrants.
1t must not be thought, however
that this man of many marriages is
in the heyday of his youth, ready
perhaps to himself lead a blushine
bride to the altar. Justice Brown
has been long years widower and
the SHOWS of "a winters are visible
in his whitening hair.
He was born in Hutchinson
Summit county, O., and has
lived in Aurora 20 years. Be.
fore moving to Aurora he was
postmaster at Pecatonica, ILL.,, an6
before that was soldier in the civil
| war. ..I
Mr.. Brown is a nephew of old John
Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame. He
remembers his famous uncle, and re.
calls many interesting conversations
with him.

THE STUDY or HINEsR.l Z


Mr.. Charles sNeuer, United States
consular agent at sGera, in an official
communication. to the state depart
ment advocates the study Of the Chi
nese language as means Of extending
American trade in the Chinese empire,
says the Washington Star. while
China is considered the land of prom
Use for our farmers and manufacture
ers," says he, "the Importance Of the
knowledge of the Chinese language is
greatly undervalued., submit the de-
tails of recent interview with lin
gust who has given special attention
to this subject. 1t is well understood
that in order to enter into perman-
ent commercial relations with for
eign country it is indispensable to
know its language. When Russian in
dustries began to develop the Germans
recognized that in order to engage in
profitable trade in that country it was
necessary to learn Russian, and there
is now no country where the Russian
language is so much taught as in Ger
many. -. 49,.
1.-THE Chinese language is Telegraph
fc. It conveys the. idea and not the
word for the thing, as the figure - rep
resents the idea and not the word. The
Chinese have invented more than 49,
600 marks for their writing. In the
opinion Of my informantit will require
only about 5000 marks for mercantile
correspondence, and it will be easier
to learn them than the words of an
ordinary foreign language.
Russian is more difficult for Amer.
leans than Chinese. It takes, much
longer to learn the spoken language,
because of the variety of dialects; but
any one who can learn enough of the
writings to answer ordinary purposes
in a few months and have his knowl-
edge perfected by q linguist within
about year. An exact instruction in
one of the Chinese languages can only
be given by a Chinaman.
"This method has been adopted in
Germany. Besides the professor fol-
the theory of language, there are four
Chinese linguists in the Oriental sem.

Corn in Tomato Guns.

Cut out the stem end of large, firm
tomatoes, and remove the center pulp
and seeds. Dust the inside with fine
crumbs and seasoning, and fill with
nicely seasoned stewed corn. Place a
generous piece of butter on top, cover
with bread crumbs, and bake in a mod
crate oven for 20 minutes. If cooked
too quickly or too long the tomatoes
will lose their shape. These are a
delicious accompaniment to roast beef.

Minutes of previous meeting
read and with slight correction
approved.
On the call for experiments,
A. B. McNey stated he had
used a hay loader this year and
thought he had suffered a loss
for not adopting it sooner. He
gathers the hay right from the
swarths.
M. G. Reeder reported that he
uses the side rake and loader and
gathers light hay into winrows.
In view Of the present move
ment towards good roads in this
District, he also called attention
to the fact that at the recent
meeting of the League of Far
mers' Club resolutions were pas
sed endorsing State control and
leasing barren bottoms of the
Chesapeake bay for oyster plant
ing and using the revenue there
from for the building and main
tenance of good roads in the
State. AT the meeting referred
to the executive committee was
instructed to use its utmost in
fuence with the next Legisla-
tuTe towards securing an appro-
priation for road building and
also an appropriation for the
completion Of the Agricultural
College Improvements.
J. p. Wilson reported regard
ing potatoes that his experience
and observation is that they are
usually planted too close to-
gether, that in many cases he
has observed that the outside
rows We're usually the best SO
he planted whole potatoes three
feet apart in row and rows three
feet apart and raised 300 bus.
per acre. This experience was
corroborated by A. Kirk and
others.
Elwood Balderston reported
that the alfalfa was not so en-
couraging as previously, but
that he is not discouraged as he
proposes reseeding this fall and
thus expects to make a crop. +.
r. Cherry substantiated the
same regarding his sowing, that
it is showing yellow but that he
proposes replowing and seeding
thus having the ground inocu-
lated for the next crop.
Mr.. Summary advised farmers
to put up fruit well assorted and
packed honestly that his brand
will very soon be sought for.
Put your name on your select
ed goods: but don't put your

The essay being called our host
responded with the following:

"Let it CO." That's good enough. :"
are often the words of a good many
men. But is it good enough Is it done
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1903-09-05

says don't say anything is good
enough.
The Secretary being called he
felt that the host with his per-
severance is an object lesson to
many of us, and that if others
do as well there will be more
successful farming.
Messrs. Wilson, Reeder and
Thompson were appointed a
committee to view premises,
and club adjourned for lunch.
After a sumptuous dinner and
visit of the premises, the meet
ing reconvened about the usual
time.
The committee made the fol-
lowing report: The hogs were
first to claim attention. 1t was
evident that our host was not
satisfied with "well enough" in
hogs, as he has a most excellent
and commendable lot of hogs;
thoroughbred Chester White
boar and brood sow; also 9
shOats crossed with Poland
China particularly fine: also 5
thoroughbred shoats, a pair of
noble fine draught horses, a
particularly fine thoroughbred
Guernsey bull especially note
worthy. The wheat shows
fairly we'll compared with other
this year; a yield of only ) bus.
an acre-half a crop. The
alfalfa showed as represented,
not at all promising, but we
trust his proposed remedy may
be a success. tho as a member
| have no great encouragement
to offer for the alfalfa. The
potatoes, though well formed
tubers, have the rot in them to
great extent, a trouble we
may all expect. BY way of
criticism we would suggest that
he clean up his berry patch to
make it profitable.
H. S. Coudon questions the
ACCESSIBILITY of cultivating the
ground for two or more seasons
as is suggested for alfalfa, that
it would be very expensive. 1t
was shown that where the crop
L
was a success it will last for ten
years.
JOS. Scarborough replied to
H. S. Coudon regarding sun
flower, that he had grown some
and made a splendid feed fol
fowls. but that he does not
know whether it was injurious
to the land. He also alluded tC
the red clover with its multi
tudes of nOdules on the roots,
and the statements that are
made that these are fed by the
nitrogen from the air and thus
enriching the soil.
JOS. 7. Cove testified that
undressing of timothy keeps il
in health, that spreading wood
ashes on a strip had produced
beneficial results.
Alfred McNey stated in reply
to query Of DR.. Dare that he
sowed lO0lbs. nitrate soda PEI
acre on timothy, and whereas
he cut two tons per acre from
the field. that in six drill widths
that he purposely left in differ
ent parts Of field, was not worth
the cutting.

tive session on election of mem
