FARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD.
By S. A. Cook.


Two Good Reasons for CuItivating.
While the chief object of cultivating
is to prevent spontaneous weeds from
sharing the soil with and choking out
the valuable crop that we plant, it
is not the exclusive object by any
means. Even it there were no spon-
taneous growth, if there were moth
ing to grow on the soil but what we
plant or sow on it there would still
be something to gain by cultivating
the crop. 1t is true if the soil were
perfectly rich there might be no need
for cultivating-if there were no weeds
to be killed. The sown crop would
soon occupy the land and shade the
surface so that there would be no
need for breaking the crust with the
object of retaining moisture in the
soil.
But as soil conditions now exist it
is imperative that most of our crops
be cultivated and the prompter and
the oftener it is done the better.
Our soils are infested with ever so
many noxious weeds ever ready to
spring up under the influence of
shower of rain even in the winter
time. They may be likened to some
barbaric enemy lying in ambush for
the more desirable possessors of the
land.
1t has been we'll said that a crop
well put in is half made and so it is.
1t has also been said and with little
fear of being gainsaid that the best
time to kill weeds is before they come
uD.'
Cultivating a crop is rendered much
easier by keeping just ahead of the
weeds. 1t saves much care and labor
in the end.
And then as soon after a rain as
1t possibly can be done, the crust of
surface soil should be broken and
converted into a mulch that will pre-
vent the evaporation of moisture too
rapidly. Cultivation besides keeping
down weeds preserves moisture in the
soil that would otherwise be wasted.
1t promotes the capillary flow of mois-
ture from the subsoil. Every time
the surface soil is stirred the effects
of this flow may be seen in the de-
not show.
The very shallowest cultiva ton is
all that is called for and no crop that
occupies the soil as long as four months
should have less than half a dozen
such cultivatings. Every one should
more than pay for it's cost.
Prompt and rapid cultivating and
enough of it, should be the slogan of
the farmer that would get the best
the land can make. M.

At the Cathedral.

Among the most elaborate Easter
services were those at the Cathedral of
St. John the Baptist. In the midst of
a wealth of flowers and greenery, dur
ing the sounding of the exquisite Eas-
ter music of the church, and with Wis
iting clergy from all sections of The
diocese assisting in the minor offices
of the mass, at 1880 o'clock, Rt. Rev.
Benjamin Joseph Kelley, bishop of Sa-
vannah, celebrated the solemn ponti-
fical high mass.
At each side of the sanctuary large
palms had been placed. The altar IT.
self was heavily hung in smilax, long
streamers of the delicate green hang
ing pendant from every point, and
winding in and out in pretty contrast
to the white altar
The upper portion of the altar was
set in a bank of almost solid green
and above this, like a fiowery fringe,
protruded the lilies, the snow white tips
Just touching the points of the altar
and binding the entire decorative
scheme into one piece. Interspersed
among the lilies were the lighter shades
of the roses, all small buds, and SEEM
ingly only to be smaller, more deli
cate lilies, not yet purged of all color
ing.
The lesser affairs were also beauti-
fully decorated. The Altar of the
Virgin was surrounded with small
clusters of pink and red rose buds, the
colors gradually fading from the
brighter reds to the pnks and by al
most insensible degrees from the pink
to the pure white of the Gala lily which
stood directly before the altar.

The Church of the Sacred Heart at
Thirty-second and Habersham streets
was beautifully decorated. Beginning
at the lower right-hand side of the altar
and swinging up TO it's highest point.
and then down TO the other side was a
long arch of smilax. woven together
into a narrow streamer of delicate
green, that seemed to cling to the pure
white of the altar without any fas-
tening. At the base of this narrow,
arch-like drapery, stood two stately
palms. seemingly bound together by
the smilax.
Everywhere about the sanctuary
were palms and other ported plants
serving to set off the brighter colors of
the flowers for which they formed the
background. The principal service of
the day was the solemn high mass at
1880 o'clock in the morning, celebra ted
by Rev, Father Aloysius, S. b., as
sisted by Rev. Fathers Bernard and
Jerome. At night an Easter sermon
was preached by Rev. Father Aloysius

At the Lutheran Church of the As
cension the decorations were the most
elaborate OF any in the city. The
Gates Ajar," was portrayed within
the sanctuary. Two large pillars,
wrapped in white in imitation of mar
BILE, formed the gate-posts. On these
hung two large Wreaths from which
was suspended long streamers of smiIax
and fern.
Arching over the gateway, high al
most as the dome above the sanctuary
was large arch of smilaX, wreathed
almost solid in smilax and brilliantly
lighted with frosted and shaded cleo
trio globes Here and there through
out the arch were white roses, MAX
ing pretty contrast. From the cen
ter of the arch, and hanging down al
most to the tops OF the half-open
gates, was a pendant floral crown, in
memoriam of Miss Mamie Lang from
her father and mother.
Directly before the gates was a
large reclining cross, made of smilaX,
holly and fern, and on the top of
which a white dove was balanced.
This cross was in memoriam of Mr..
and Mrs. George Wagner, erected by
their children. Just back of this the
gates opened, gates of imitation silver,
and opening inward as though
inviting all to enter. Just within a
few steps rose a pedestal on which
stood an upright cross, beautifully
gilded and standing out against
back ground of almost solid green.
Just in front of the right gate-post
was a large floral Tyre, in green and
white, placed there as memorial from
the Luther League to Mrs. Outten.
Directly opposite and standing just
TO the left of the left gatepost, was
a second floral crown, resting on
large white base. This crown was in
memory of Mrs. S. l.. Outten, from
her husband.
The entire sanctuary was richly dec
Grated in smilax, holly and white
roses, while tan Gala lilies. placed here
and there, stood out in vivid contrast
to the darker shades of the smilax,
holly. palms and potted plants. The
choir-loft was decorated with holly
through which ran a broad white rib
bon. On each of the windows in the
church hung a large wreath of
holly or smilax in which had been set
the white roses and lilies.
The Easter service was held in the
morning. The pastor of the church,
Rev. DR.. W. c. Schaeffer, was as
sisted in the service by Rev. w. c.
Schaeffer, Jr., his son.
