A Harvest Home PARTY.


In Sweden they make a ceremony Of
bringing in the last sheaf of wheat
slgnifying that the summer is over
and the harvest ended" With this in
mind, hostess who is noted for her
originality issued invitations for a
Harvest Home" party at her place in
the country. 1t is now quite the thing
not to return to town until the first Of
November, so the beautiful foliage
and the glories of autumn are enjoyed
to the full. At this party, which was
given last year. too late to get in the
department owing to the fact that 1t
must be made up several weeks in ad-
vance, the house and spacious YER

geous oak and maple leaves, as was
the lower floor of the great barn
where dancing took place at eight
o'clock. The hours were from five to
ten, which just permitted the making
Of trains to and from the city.
A novel feature was the playing Of
che band composed of the workmen on
the place. They were mostly Ger
mans, and as each department had
its own foreman with helpers the or
ganiEation was quite complete as we'll
as unique. They played for the dan
cling, and to a most stirring march
they led. the gay party to the last
sheaf of wheat in the field. 1t was
laid in the pony cart belonging to the
ten-year-old daughter Of the house,
who drove the prettily decorated
pony into the barn, where the sheaf
was placed In the middle of the clean

tribute to Ceres, a health being drunk

seeds Of the weed which are in the
soil, the young seedlings being prompt
ly destroyed by the subsequent tillage.
Conditions in orchard lands are such
as to offer a favorable opportunity
to get rid Of this weed, or at least so
reduce 1t that 1t does not do much
damage. Many orchards use a type
of implement that has been found
very successful in the control Of the
weeds. 1t consists Of a beam resting
on the ground, varying in width from
eight to IL feet, with a series Of
knives below, all inclined inward. Its
draft is light, 1t makes a wide cut,
1t can be worked close to the trees
and is comparatively inexpensive.

Encouraging to Farmers.

Present meat prices and the pros

small farmers Of the country. The
great stock ranches are being turned

heretofore we're not in a position to
compete with the large raisers of
stock now have an opportunity to pros.

grown that bring prosperity to the
farmer but the farm animals that

Speaking of baseball, the Juneau Dis patch attempts to impress it's readers with the idea that the Juneau team is nearly-if not quite-made up of anna teurs, or "non-professionals." The Douglas team has one player, a pitcher, shipped in, hired and fed for that pur- pose. On the other hand, the Juneau team has no less than six of the same brand.
