ChampIin-MaSOn.


A charming occasion was the
celebration on Wednesday eves
ming Of the marriage rites Of Miss
Lula Mason and Mr.. James w.
Champlin, at the suburban home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Mason, who are
among our county's representa-
tive citizens.
The ceremony was impressiyeIy
performed by Rev. r. Fl. Purser,
pastor of the Brookhaven Baptist
church and the wedding march
was played by Mrs. B. I. Hobbs.
just at the twilight hour, the
handsome, happy pair stood be-
fore the man of God, and took the
VOWS that united their lives for
all time to come, in the presence
Of intimate friends and near rela-
tives. The bride was attired in a
graceful gown of shimmeringWhite
silk, with accessories of lace. 1t
had been the wish of the generous
hearted bride that her numerous
friends share with her the joys of
the occasion, but the sudden be-
reavement that befel the house
hold in the death of beloved
member a month ago, barred all
unnecessary festivities. And yet
the occasion with its delightful
environments, and elegant enter
tainment, was a most charming
and happy one to about fifty
guests.
The bridal luncheon was tempt
ingly served, the table with
its beautiful napery and tasteful
appointments being especially adj
mired. The valuable and valued
gifts bestowed upon the bride
were elegant and expressive of
the high esteem in which she is
held.
Our town or county does not
hold a more admirable character
than that of Miss Lula Mason,
who became Mrs. j. w. Champlin
On Wednesday evening. She has
been numbered among our most
able and gifted teachers, and,
apart from che profession she has
faithfully followed, she is an ar
tist Of ability, many of her paint
ings adorning the pretty rooms
Of her childhood's home, and is
in every way fitted to fill her
husbands life with sunshine and
Joy, being possessed Of happy

ORCHARD HINTS.

Where heavy bearing fruit trees have forked, 1t is q good plan to form nat ural graft. joining the two limbs to pre- vent them breaking down when loaded with fruit.
 In maturing trees, do rot pile it about the base, but scatter 1t evenly around the trees several feet away. Each year the circle should be enlarged, as the roots extend.
 The practice of spraying is a profit able one. Farmers and growers increase their profits at least 2 per cent. when they spray. It is decidedly the only way of saving trees. shrubs and plants from insects and fungi.
 If you want to try new kinds of fruit, buy a small tree When you set it out save all the twigs you trim off and graft them onto an old tree Trim the old tree to give these scions the sap and you will have fruit in two years.-Farm and Home.

TREES AS SOIL BINDERS.
Denuded Tracts Which Are the Worse for Their Lack of
 Trees.

In our haphazard methods of farm Ing we have uncovered much land that never should have been exposed to the elements, rain, sun and winds. The trees have been the great help CTS of Dame Nature in her attempts to reduce chaotic conditions to order The great glaciers and the floods of past ages left the land in a condition where every rain gullied it and every wind sent the fine sands from place to place. In such localities nature in the course of centuries planted her innumerable host of trees. They rose put Of the sandy wastes and covered them with grateful shade. When the driving wind came it found not dry soil ready to be borne aloft, but moist surface out of which grew the moss and new shoots. It could not be blown. The trees shed their leaves on the soil that had been dry and movable, and still more protect ed it from the sun that dried it and the wind that blew it. The rain no longer corroded the hillside; for it fell on the dead leaves, and from them oozed into the soil beneath. There it found countless millions of rootlets interlaced in every direction and it could not move the soil parti- cles held by them. It took many hours to travel few hundred feet through the ground, and under the leaf mold. Much of it was absorbed by the leaf mold above, and this great wet blanket prevented the sun and wind from drying out the surface soil. Man in his ignorance and im- providence denuded not only the plains and the rolling lands, but also the sandy ridges and the clayey hill- tops. The leaf mold disappeared, often as result of the fires started among the loppings of the trees. The old arboreal giants that had held the loose soils in subjection were anni- Inflated and their roots rotted in the ground. There was then nothing to prevent the soil becoming dry and friable. The winds blew 1t and the torrents cut great furrows through it. We have seen large areas of sloping land gullied to depth of five and six feet. It is impossible to use such land for any kind of farm operations. The only thing possible to do is to put back the trees. The uneven sur faces, which are now of no use, will then be bearing a crop that man needs.
 At Cairo, H., an illustration may be seen of this use of trees as soil binders. The trees there form a small forest, and keep the soil both from washing and blowing On our farms are many neglected spots of the nature indicated. The only pos sible way to make them useful is to plant trees on them. Where the soil is very light, sand-loving trees, like the white pine and the white birch, will have to be selected. Their pres ence will prove in many ways bene- fit to the farm.-Farmers' Review.

MUCH IN LITTLE.

Don't specialize unless prepared to stand occasional failure.
 Always keep the farm up; never let it run down.
 Thoroughness in cultivating the soil will make two spears of grass grow where one grew before.
 For the same loads, wagons with wheels of standard height draw lighter than those with lower wheels.
 Give your sons and daughters an in- terest in the cattle, the poultry or the garden. Let them have flowers, to beautify the grounds about the home, and they will love the farm.-Farm and Home.

LABOR SAVING ON A FARM
By Use of Machinery Worked by Horse Power Desired End May
 Be Accomplished.

Owing to the scarcity of transient farm labor in many sections of the country, the question of carrying on the farm, whether it be large or small with as little of outside help as pos sible. Is subject of considerable i'm portance. One of the principal ways by which this can be accomplished is by the use of labor saving machinery. By the aid or such machinery, the greater portion of farm labor can be done by horse power, with both ease and comfort, and labor that would otherwise be considered drudgery can be made pleasure. declares the Prairie Farmer.
 To accomplish the above results does not require such great number of tools. and if they are properly careu for they will last almost lifetime. If the amount which many farmers pay out for just ono season for hired hep was expended for the right kind of la bor saving machinery, not only could much of this extra expense be saved each year out-of-doors, bu. the good wife in the house would be saved much extra labor, also.
 This is not theory, but facts which have proved to be true from experi- ence in carrying on my own farm. keep three medium sized horses and generally work the three together on the different kinds of tools on which l ride while fitting the ground for differ. ent crops.
 For example. the first crop to bs sown in the spring is oats. which is sown on ground previously fall plVwed In fitting the ground for this crop, use a spring tooth wheel harrow which cuts six feet wide, and with three horses on this tool it is easy to work to harrow 12 acres in. a day As there is an an easy spring seat to ride on, after working all day feel but little tired when night comes which would be far from the case if tramped all day over the plowed ground after a floating harrow. as many farmers do.
 The cost of having tools on which one can ride while doing farm work is but little more than that of those after which one is obliged to walk When see farmers tramping over the ground after the dra9 or some other kind of tool day after day, I do not wonder that their boys (if they have any) be- come dissatisfied with the farm. for this kind of drudgery can just as we'll be saved. Let the horses do the main muscular work of the farm.
 On every farm there Is a great va riety of work to be done. so it pays | to use the brains and plan how to do this work in the easiest and quickest way. With improved modern ma. chinery, and the knowledge of how to use the same 10 the greatest advan- tage. farming is robbed of all so-called drudgery, and becomes one of the most agreeable occupation that . man can engage In. At least. such has been my life experience.

Watch for Friday Might'S Ad.

It was curious to note his almost human perversity in pursuing habits he knew were harmful to him. His partic- ular fascination was love for hunting rattlesnakes, and the means for it's qualification were not far to seek in those early days in the west Bob had his periods for these expeditions and he en- tered upon them with a solemnity mo- ticeable even in him. His whole man. ner plainly said: Please forbear any familiarity, this is my rattlesnake day" Immediately after breakfast he might be seen bounding high above the grass in his favorite way, his head bent and his eyes turned downward in search of "rattlers. This sport he would con- tinue for hours, sometimes killing a dozen. Then he would return from his victories as slowly and demurely as he went, and with a sort of apprehensive look in his eyes. After supper he be- took himself to retired corner behind some boxes in an old outhouse. When morning came his body bore the plain signs of rattlesnake revenge. He was swollen to twice his size, his eyes were hidden, his breathing hot and hard like one in fever. The first time he lay thus we said: Poor Bob. he is done for this time" But we learned in time he was not to go out of life in this undignified fashion. For days he lay in this state, rigid, unresponsive, without food or drink. Then the inflammation would slowly go down. his eyes would open and he would crawl out into the light In a few days he was himself again. Fol weeks. perhaps months, no persuasion could move him to attack snake. Nc doubt his recollection of pain was

the one-pound print In some markets print butter is quoted at one cent or more above the ruling price of other butter, which may be of the same quail ity. but Is put up in less attractive package. This popularity Of print but ter shows that it is profitable to study the market demands regarding the shape and the appearance of dairy prod ucts as well as their flavor, texture and other qualities.
 On account of the demand for print butter. the manufacturers and dealers in dairy supplies have designed num- Der of machines and appliances for eco- nomically molding the butter into print forms. These machines vary somewhat in their construction and manipulation, but they all make the one-pound print of about the same dimensions-21ax21a F x41s inches. In some printers a carved board is placed on one side of the fold. into which the butter is pressed, and this makes an impression in each prhlt of some design or letter which has been selected as a brand or trademark by the manufacturer. So much attention has been given to the subject of but ter printing that the details are now satisfactorily worked out.
 The favorable reputation which print butter has attained suggested the possi- bility of applying the idea to the manu- facture of cheese. Why cannot cheese. as we'll as butter, be molded into one- pound prints? After studying this ques- tion for two years, it is possible to say that this new form of cheese can be made, and that 1t is received with much favor by the consumer. The first print cheese was made at the Wisconsin dairy school during the winter of 1S9S-99 Since that time some of the details have been changed. but the general plan of the operation is the same as originally carried out In so far as the cheese Is concerned, no deviation has been made from the usual process of making ched. dar cheese, except modification in the pressing and the follower" used in the press.
 The following is the method adopted ct the University of Wisconsin,: The cheddar, cheese curd Is placed in mold or hoop of rectangular shape, the bottom or follower" of which is carved board This board makes the impression of tho raised letters U W" University o, Wisconsin,, and the grooves which mark the cheese into prints. as showr in the illustration. Each section or which "U w. is stamped represent. one-half pound, two sections making one pound. This one-pound print o cheese is about the size of one-pount print of butter. Its length and widtt are determined by the carving of tn, board. which may be made of any sig, or design to suit particular trade; tn, thickness of the block is. of course, reg ulated by the amount of curd put into the mold each time. The cheeses showr in the illustration weigh between 1: and Is pounds each. and will cut int 15 one-pound prints.

IMMORTAL LOVE.

 Our God does not repent Him of Ills gifts. Friend he has made for friend; and each to
 each Has given growing love, until the ties That bind them to each other and to God Are numberless and most divinely good. And when one friend departs and one doth
 stay, Death comes not all these sacred ties to
 break, For that Death cannot do. Love still loves
 on. The lover here defies both space and time; No less doth that one gone beyond the veil. Whatever change may come, he changes To something that forgets, and loves no Nay, all the new that claims the raptured
 soul Shall but the old confirm and gorify. These friends of ours and Gods he keeps
 awhile Until our day shall come Then kindly
 Death Shall give us back the same true hand and
 voice. The face so sweet and strong, so pure and free. They shall be glad, as we, to meet again; And nearer fellowship than earths shall
 come As through Heavens ways they lead our
 eager feet. And help us with their eyes to see our Lord. How short will then the time of absence
 seem! How small the price for this enrichment
 great, And since our sorrow has been turned to
 joy, We shall give thanks for every purging fire That taught us how to love our friends in God. And make their love to us as sure as Heaven. $. G. Barnes, in Springfield Republican.

PRINT CHEESE.
New Form Which Makes Cheese More Salable and Brings Higher
 Price,

Manufacturers and dealers in food products of all kinds are more or less familiar with the advantages to be gained from neat packages and the at tractive appearance of the articles off, fered for sale. Style and finish are inn portant factors in trade, and in making a selection the consumer is influenced by the appearance as we'll as by the quality of the product. This is well un- derstood by progressive manufacturers and dealers ill dairy products, and the necessity of careful attention to these details is continually being urged upon every one connected with the dairy in dustry. More consideration in this di- rection seems to have been given in the past to butter than to cheese, and, ex- cepting some high-priced small pack ages and jars, cheese is still generally made in large sizes, which are cut into awkward slices at grocery stores and sold by the pound.
 One of the most popular packages is

 So the silent years went by and Bob became old in fact, as he had always been fin manner For many year he had been as much a part of the wild landscape as the blue sky. the tall whispering grass, the wolf or the wandering Indian. He had been the faithful companion of our lonely frontier life. The last time saw him was the morning first left home for college. He was totally deaf and nearly blind. but he knew that was going and tried to bid me good-by. Wheezing and coughing he slowly followed me to the gate and then looked up into my face well. the tears will come when think Of it. though so many years have gone since then.
