Marriage of This Couple Proves That Cupid Is Not Affected by ROreas'
 ChilIiest Blasts.

Weather seems to be the last thing that Cupid cares about. There always has been slight prejudice in favor of June weather, but when 1t comes to the real question, any weather, any time, and any climate will do.
 Young people went out sleighing and were half frozen, but not so much that they could not decide suddenly to stop at justice of the peace and get mar ried.
 Other reports brought news of we'd dings in the tropics. Cupid is hard ened little man, physically. He seems to get along as we'll in the Aleutian islands as in southern Italy
 Carl L. Carlson, of New Britain, Conn, invited Miss Elizabeth McKeon to take sleigh ride to Southington.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Now is the time for the farmer to do many
things that cannot be done at any other time. The
pea crop should not be neglected. that is, the
sowed crop Now be to put in acre of
peas on the place you are going to SOW in alfalfa
this year. Take the richest and most convenient
acre you have for this crop IF it is in now,
plow' the corn now for the last time and SOW down
to peas.
If you don't like the place where your garden
is take this place for your alfalfa; it will be the
very place if it is rich. This fall is the time
to Now make up your mind to SOW one
acre, and all one and two-horse farmers feed
all the stock of every kind on the place from first
of April until frost after you begin to cut it.
Mine is three years old this year, and it is ne 1t
is by long odds the finest green feed I have ever
had. It comes the earliest in the spring and lasts
the longest in the fall It will grow anywhere
about the place where the land is rich. It does.
well around the garden wall and all places where
the soil is rich where you use enough guano
The gleanings from the hen-house is fne-spread
on the land broadcast. I>throw it out any time
on top of the land when it is growing, and you
see fine effects.
Three of my neighbors planted one acre each
this spring. and it looks fine now. They will get
two three cuttings from it this year. 1t does
better after you begin to cut it. and if your land
is rich, think it best to begin to cut as soon
it is a foot high. At all times during the
growing season, and in winter occasionally spread
over the patch some kind Of manure.
You say it takes too much manure But when
you see how much fine feed you getting from
so small spot of land without cultivation, you
will find it pays better than any other crop
the place. Make one acre rich and, the first
good season in September plant it in alfalfa.
When you plow your land put in four hundred
pounds of lime. Send to the Department of Agri-
culture, Washington City, for the inoculating
material and use it as directed. Put in plenty Of
seed
How about that yard spoke to you about this
spring? Now is the time to SOW it in peas. Sow
in peas with some guano and you will
have very pretty yard and this summer plenty
of green peas, very convenient to gather for din
ner. In September cut the vines off and plow and
work down until the soil is loose and fine. Lime
or ashes worked in the soil will help. Put in
four to six hundred pounds of guano per acre.
Sow plenty of grass seed and in four to six weeks
you will be enjoying the best luxury the place.
and one equal to the best anv king can afford
Just little work and your yard is the delight OF
your friends and health and pleasure to yourself
and family. This will save the yard and the shade
trees. Begin now and do this.

Ny Dear sir:-In answering your
question as 10 what would be the wise-t
way to spend 32S 600 in philant thropy,
l have no doubt as TO what my answer
should be. A thoroughly equipped
hospital would come the nearest, in my
opinion, to meeting the needs OF the suf-
fering. and relieving them of any
thing that could be suggested in this
connection We have high grade
of professional men in all schools
of medicine. and they are hampered
by lack OF facility for practice
ing their profession. There are many
persons who should ne sent to hos
pi,al, but the cost is now too high for
some Of them. The above would be n
wise and merciful use of money. Yours
very truly, James J. Cone,

where they could congregate, as an or

The place should be the most attractive.

and music room, lunch room and
gymnasium should be made as pleas
