The United States. France and Ger
many were drawn to each other today
by the celebration OF another interna
tional marriage.
Miss Ivy Langham, sister of the
Baroness Won Sternberg, the wife of
the German Ambassador, became the
bride of Lieutenant Commander Wis
comte Faramond De Lafajoie, naval at
tache of the French Embassy, and the
highest officials Of diplomatic Wash
ington attended to give the ceremony
the eclat such an important alliance
deserved.
The service was held in ST. Mat
thew's Church at II o'clock, and was
performed by Rev. Lee, rector OF St

hoped to be able to come to Washing

was detained in Canada. Miss Lang

prayer book, given her by the Cardinal
She entered the church leaning on the
arm of her brother-in-law, Ambassador
Sternberg, who, with her uncle, Ny
Arthur Langham, acted as her Wit

The Visconte Chas De Chambrul-
of the French Embassy, was best man
The brides attendants were her SIS

Tvonne De F'etZine, q cousin OF the
groom.
Miss Langham was married in a
travelling suit of grey crepe de chene.
and wore a grey tulle hat, and an os-
trich bow of soft white.
Practically all the diplomatic corps
attended the wedding. Mrs. and Miss
Roosevelt led the list of distinguished
guests. The President would have at
tended had he not been prevented W
his absence from town. Nearly all the
members of the Cabinet attended, as
we'll as Admiral Dewey and many 9th

or course the best way of keeping up
soil fertility is by using manure. The
experience OF city gardeners clearly
proves that the soil can be kept at the
highest state of fertility by large appli-
cations of manure alone, though many
truck farmers use fertilizers either ex-
clusively or In enormous quantities
When manure Is used in large enough
quantities it supplies all the plant food
elements In abundance and Is Of espe-
cial value In gardening. as II provides
a large amount OF heterogeneous matter
which is OF value In promoting the
growth Of vegetable tissue. 1t also
keeps the soil filled with humus.
Fertilizers are principally used where
1t IL impossible to obtain manure.
When they are applied with intellI-
gence and judgment the farm income Is
not only greatly increased without In
Jury to the soil, but the soil fertility is
actually increased. When carelessly
or ignorantly employed contrary re-
suit surely follows.
The exclusive use OF fertilizers upon
cultivated crops on the same land for
q hong term Of years impoyerishes the
soil of Its humus or vegetable matter.
Under such treatment soils become
more and more difficult to plow and
cultivate; they quickly dry out and
bake In summer and are badly washed
In winter.
Commercial fertilizers have been used
by Atlantic coast farmers for many
years, and the consensus OF opinion In
that where fertilizers are the sole de-
pendence the texture OF the soil must
be preserved by adding vegetable mat
ter. which is most easily done by plow-
ing down green crops, or the crop pro-
duclng power OF the land win fall

All Around the Farm.

A comparatively new and very good
idea IL that OF reinforcing stable ma
nurc with commercial fertilizers, using
such In addition as are needed for the
special grain, grass or fruit that con-
stitutes the most profitable crop In the
locality.
The leading buckwheat states are
New York and Pennsylvania. Buck
wheat, like the bean crop. seems TO be
particularly well adapted for culture on
lands that have become too unproduc-
tive TO make the raising Of the ordinary
farm crops desirable.
There In but little doubt that the
farm separator system OF removing the
cream at the farm and retaining tho
milk mt home IL by far the best plan
for the farmer This method IL proving
TO be equally satisfactory TO the most
progressive crcamerymen.

Chief +. d. Coburn of the worlds fair
department of live stock has received
an application from John w. Fulton,
secretary of the American Angora Goat
Breeders association, for date for O
public sale of Angoras under the aus
pices of that association during the pc
riod of the displays Of goats at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition. The worlds
fair classification gives the Angora goat
much larger recognition than has been
accorded to 1t at any previous show, al
lotting to the breed $3410 for 1873 cash
prizes. 1t is possible for a single buck
to win $3.50 and to aid in winning 1920
additional Of exposition money, togeth-
er with diplomas, special prizes, etc. A
more active interest in the milk goat
has been developed through the atten-
ton paid to that animal In the worlds
fair live stock classification. 1t has
been suggested to breeders that the
exposition's shows at st. Louis will
afford an opportune occasion for the
organization of milk goat register as
sociation. This has so far received the
unanimous approval of the breeders
concerned, and preliminary organiza-
has been made.-National Stockman.

Japanese Wives.

The position Of the japanese wife Is
not that of equality with her husband.
He is the liege lord, to be obeyed by
her In the most servile manner. He ex-
acts from her the little attentions that
an American woman expects and usu-
ally gets from her husband. Without
so much as q murmur Of complaint
from his spouse, who must always re-
ceive him with bows and smiles and
ever have her mind and eyes on his
comfort, he goes and comes when he
pleases. When he fares forth socially
he does not take her with him; when
he receives gentlemen In his own house
"a rare thing. by the way-madame
seldom presents herself unless In some
menial capacity. And, while such a
thing as conjugal love must exist In
Japan, It usually escapes the notice OF
the foreign sojourner. the people cen
sidering 1t vulgar to exhibit emotion of
any kind In public. The wife as So
elal unit being completely submerged,
1t follows that others OF her sex must
take her place socially, and In this
office the gelsha girls play an impor-
tant role.-Jason Trench In smart Set.
