dens and among the wheat. The phil
is to make soil, and the only thorough
going farmer is Nature herself" She
her purpose every weed counts. Weeds
are property wealth according to this
estimate and should therefore not be
burned or thrown into the road. They
stand for so much carbon, so much
nitrogen. and should be used as food
for corn and beans and potatoes; after
that. for the cow and the family.
Exhorting the farmer to the conser-
walton of Natures forces in this line
Mr.. Powell says:
You will be amazed when you begin
this compost business to find what an
enormous mass you can accumulate in
the course of a year from common
weeds. Gather them from your gar
them your barnyard manure and then
all the loads of autumn leaves that you
can collect and my word for it you
will have something a deal better than
you can buy When whole

weeds that grow during the whole year,
they are simply stupid; and when. after
that they buy, at a big cost. lot of
commercial fertilizer to do a fraction
of what the weeds would have done
if composted they are criminally ig-
nOrant'
What are the farmers of our state
doing in the matter of helping Nature
make soils? Are they in the catalogue
of the stupid. who burn all the weeds
that fall before hoe and pillow and
scythe throughout the season, and let
it go at that? Or are they of those
who follow up this stupidity by buy
ing at big cost commercial fertilizer
to do a fraction of what the weeds
would have done if composted. and thus
reach the stage of the criminally ig-
nOrant? 1t may be feared that there
is still another and larger class among
our farming population-they who
ruthlessly destroy weeds, ignoring or
unknowing of, their value in the COM
post heap, and who return nothing to
the impoverished soil to supply the
waste of the weeds.

the little bride needs, and if she is
properly Joyous bride all the diamonds
she might wear would be outdone by
the light of happiness in her eyes.
A prayerbook is sometimes carried
with the wedding gown instead OF the
conventional bouquet and there is a
demure dignity about the bride carry
ing a prayerbook which she with the
mammoth bunch of posies never quite
achieves. A pretty notion is illustrat-
ed. the white vellum prayerbook being
desecrated with exaggerated book
marks made of white ribbons to which
are tied sprays of lilies of -the-valley
There is one item of the brides at
tire which is never white-and every
girl knows what that is; the some
thing blue" which tradition has come
to mean the brides garter. This blue
garter will of course, be extravagantly
gay with shirred ribbons and a chou
and shower bow of narrower ribbon,
and will be worn only on this one oc-
casion, when it is supposed to bring
luck and happiness to its wearer.
There is an old saying to the effect
that:
The maid who wears a yellow garter
on a bridal morn
Will be herself a bride before another
year shall dawn
And it is q pretty notion for the
bride to- be to make for each of her
maids dainty yellow garter exactly
like the blue one which she Will wear
at the wedding. These yellow carriers
must of course be made by the brides
own hands in order to possess any
magical influence over the bridesmaids
future happiness.
