The bride, charmingIy attir- ed, was accompanied by her sister, Mss Mary Henderson, who acted as brides maid, and both carried magnificent bouquet of carnations. The best man was Frederick Shumway.
 After the ceremony a wedding supper was served, at which congratulatory remarks were made, the toast of the evening being ably given by Robert Macarthur, a very old friend of the family.
 The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful gifts, On their return from trip to the west they will reside in West Haven.

trial on a small scale at first, and
where it is found to grow well on thin
land, and stock eat it well, it may
be a good crop; certainly it is a
good honey plant, but after it has
bloomed there is nothing of it but
coarse woody stems; no foliage like
that of alfalfa or red clover.

Come to the Cotton Growers Meeting

Come to the Cotton Growers Meeting.
Mr.. T. B. Parker, Secretary of the
Farmers Alliance, calls attention of
all farmers throughout the State in
terested in cotton growing, that
there will be a meeting in the House
of Representatives, in the city of
Raleigh, on Wednesday, October 21.
The purpose of this meeting is to
arrange plans whereby the planter
shall get better prices for his prod
uct. The indications are that the
crop will fall far below the demands.
If the crop is marketed now, the
farmer will lose large per cent of
the increase in prices due to such
state of affairs. Everyone who can
do so should attend and lend their
cordial support to effect such an or
ganization as will enable the farmers
of this country to more perfectly ly con-
troll their products. The safety Of
their future depends on such an or
ganization, and if it is not accom-
plished, it will be due entirely to the,
fact that the farmers simply refuse
their cooperation in perfectlng plans
looking forward to this end. 1t can
be done. and it must be done, 1t
we expect any amelioration of the
present condition of afairs.-Lum-

FIGHTING THE BOIL WEEvIL.
Southern Commissioners of Agriculture
Outline a Plan of Action.


Secretary B. W. Kilgore has kind
ly favored us with a copy of the fol
lowing resolutions, adopted by the
Cotton States Association of Com
missioners of Agriculture, at Mont
gomery, Ala, October 9th, in regard
to the boil weeviI menace to South
ern cotton growers. Prof. II. A
Morgan, of Louisiana, was chairman
of the committee, and made the fol
lowing report:
Your committee appointed to draft
resolutions relative to the boil weevil
situation, beg leave to submit the
following:
Whereas, the Mexican boil weevil
based upon the judgment of those
who have carefully studied the ques-
ton, is regarded as one of the great
est and most serious agricultural
problems that has ever presented it.
self to our people; therefore be it
Resolved 1. That it is criminal
negligence on the part of the people
of the cotton growing States to sit
down and say that this pest is bound
to spread and that there is no use
in attempting doing anything to
postpone the evil day.
2. That the question is one of Ma
tional as we'll as State Importance,
and that the next Congress should
be memorialized to make appropria-
tions sufficient to defray the expense
of the determination of the weevil as
it appears in isolated places and to
establish such quarantine measures
as will prevent the rapid spread of
the weeviI throughout the cotton
belt. The members of Congress
representing the several cotton
States of this Association and of
the entire cotton belt are hereby
urged to promote legislation looking
to this end.
3. That this Association place its
seal of disapproval upon the importa
ton into non-infected areas of live
weevils by persons or organizations
curious to know what the weev1 IS
like or anxious to- conduct expert
ments for the purpose of procuring
remedies, and that we ask all the
cotton States to pass such laws as
to make it a criminal offence to bring
live weevils into non-infected dis
tricts: and that the Legislatures of
the cotton States authorize their
Boards of Agriculture, or in the alb
sence of such, the Experiment Sta
tion authorities, to establish quaran-
tine or other necessary regulations

Sweet Clover Not Good for Cattle.


Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
In the year 1878 [ saw sweet clover
seed advertised as being a fine clover
for honey and also a fine food for
farm animals, so I ordered four
mounds and sowed the seed in the
spring of 1879 on very good land. 1t
came up and made a fine growth. 1t
came so early that I thought it must
be good for my milk COW, so I gave
her one small feed, as that was all
she would eat; but oh, the milk! If
the COW had been fed on gourds the
milk would not have = tasted much
more bitter. I then tried my mules
with it, and they would not eat the
second feed of it when offered to
them; so l tasted it myself and
found it as bitter as rue, and as hot
and pungent as red pepper, and it
produced no blooms for the bees
to work on until the second year,
when it bIoomed. seeded and died.
But the seed falling on the ground
IN the edge of the yard has kept
growing there every year up to this
time. In the most fertile spots it
grew seven feet high, and the bees
simply waIIowcd in the white blooms
all day through July and August.
But It would not grow for me on
poor, stiff land nor on the sandy
poor land. For me it required good
strong land. As it was such a good
noney plant around the edge of the
yard and in my garden, I thought to
reap a harvest Of honey from it just
"hen there was none to be had from
any other source. SO | sowed nearly
peck Of good seed OH both light
ana heavy soil, and it did nothing,
uld not live the second year. But
on good land it will grow Iuxuriant-
". provided it has lime it it or is
ashed heavily.

Turning Hogs on Corn and Peas.

A Randolph County reader asked:
"Will it pay to turn hogs and pigs

As a rule, we should say that it
would not pay. Hogs waste too
much. They will tear down corn, eat
the ears partly, and move on to-
fresh supplies. Unless it is impossi-
