In Memory of Mrs. N T. Lupton

Mrs. Ella Virginia Allemong, daughter of Rev John and Hannah Allemong, was born in Frederick county. Va, December ?, 1881, and peacefully closed this life July 1S 1906, at Fort Casey, Washington.
 She was married Sept 26, 1851, to pr. N T. Lupton, also of Virginia. A man not only known for his high position in the fields of science and literature, but first for his consistent, Christian life; thirteen years ago he died at his beautiful home in Auburn, Ala.
 Three children blessed their union. Mrs. Kate Lupton Wilkinson, who died several years since; Dr. Frank Allemong Lupton. d physician of Birmingham. and Mrs. Ella Lupton Noble. wife of pr. Robert F.. Noble. United States army at whose home Mrs. Lupton died
 By the count of years and good deeds. Mrs. Lupton had lived a long life but no one ever called her old In her beautiful face shone the light from within, so that she numbered her friends from all ages, possessing-to marked degree the faculty of adapting herself to all peo- pie and conditions Her visits were made to the homes of the poor; she comforted the sorrowful The unconverted soul weighed upon her as personal respOnsi- bility and with all of her modesty and gentleness she had the strength 10 visit and pray with them Her theme was the Love of God she never upbraided, but comforted and encouraged the most sin sick soul. Perhaps her most pronounced religious trait was her strong faith in prayer; she prayed earnestly and ex- pected an immediate answer to her yers
 She had felt indisposed for several days. and said 10 her daughter few minutes before her death. that when her time came to go. she hoped to be spared the distress of sickness and pain: this prayer. too. must have ascended the throne of grace, for in a few moments. without a pain of warning, or sigh of weariness. she closed her eyes and her spirit went home.
 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God"

Alfalfa For Seed.

In order to seed well alfalfa requires
rather dry weather conditions during
the period of blossOming and seed for
nation; also it is necessary to have IA
vorable weather when the crop is har-
vested in order to secure a good quail
ty of seed. BY using the third cutting
for seed the farmer Is enabled to take
two hay crops and one seed crop OF
the land in a season, while when
the second cutting is left for seed the
growth after harvesting the seed crop
will hardly be sufficient to furnish an
other hay crop that season, although
it may furnish fall pasturage.
IL the third crop is the one left for
seed the second hay crop should be
harvested early in order to allow as
long period as possible for the growth
of the seed crop. Such observations as
have been made on this point would In
dicate that when the third crop IS left
for seed the results are even more IA
vorable than when the second cutting
made the seed crop, and the saving Of
the third crop for seed does not seem to
decrease the vigor Of the alfalfa more
than the cutting of the second crop for
seed.--Kansas Farmer.

TRIMMING TREES.
How and When TO Handle Various
Fruit Bearers.

Fruit Bearers.
Cherry trees after the first few years
and when the head Is formed need prac-
tically no pruning. Simply cut out
dead or crossed limbs.
Peach trees need much trimming.
Cut back at least one-half Of the new
growth each season and thin out the
center of head.
Apples, pears, plums and ounces re-
quire moderate pruning each year.
Avoid cutting Off large limbs, If pos
sible. Cover all wounds with thick
paint.
Broad, low down trees are easier to
spray, thin, pick and trim. Cut out
those high tops!
Compact, low trees suffer less from
storms.
''Prune in June for fruitfulness, in
the spring for wood" This is a wise
old saw. But most farmers are too
busy with other work In June; conse-
quently the larger proportion of or
chardists do their pruning in February
or March. But there is great merit in
June pruning Farm Journal.

gracilis and d. crenata, is well worthy
Of place in the list of desirable Eas-
ter Towering shrubs The deutzias are
hardy and should be left outside until
about eight weeks before Easter, that
giving sufficient time in which to flower
them properly. They should be started
at temperature of so degrees and
afterward advanced to so degrees, be-
yond which they should never be al

flowers development equals that of the
Appleton. The form Is the Bonnaffon
type, but the petals are more closely
folded. The bloom Is about the same
color when completely developed. The
petals are more pointed than those Of
the Bonnaffon, deeply cupped, highly
arched, beautifully incurved and ex-
eeedingly double In the center. The
new flowers growth is equal in every
respect to the parental except that it
seems shorter jointed. 1t shows no
tendency to revert, and its keeping
qualities are unequaled, the original
flower having been kept four weeks.
The first flowers of the new plant
were cut Nov. %, 1905, and shown on
that date before the chrysanthemum
committee in Boston, where it scored
30 points. An attempt will be made to
have stock in readiness for the exbibi-
