COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some
thing Of Bargain, but It Turned
Out Happily.

George A. Birmingham, the widely
known writer, says there is no coun-
try in the world where marriage, at
least in the peasant class, is more a
matter Of bargaining, and yet shows a
higher average of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number of pounds, sows, or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This is illustrated in personal recol.
lections just published by an Irish
woman. She was visiting with an
aunt a cottage in the neighbor-
hood, and admired a fine mahogany
chest Of drawers.
Twas for that was married"
said the mistress of the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and ad-
mired. A bargain was struck There
was no money. but the bride was to
have couple of sheep, a yearling
bullock and the chest The prudent
young man measured it, and then
turned and asked
An which O. thin little girls is it?''
She was the oldest unmarried
mkt the doore,' as the phrase was.
An SO l wint," she said, and was
happy ever afterwards. It'll Bits.

GARDEN and
FARM NOTES

Peaty soils need fertilizers running
high in potash.
Topping corn serves to materially
reduce the yield.
A hive of bees makes a delicious
thing to have about
Early oats almost invariably yield
more heavily than late oats.
The use of s1le under four inches
in diameter is not to be recommended.
There is little practical benefit re-
sulting from the use of a mulch with
wheat.
Spraying of potatoes with Bordeaux
mixture is preventive of potato
blight.
Any impervious covering will check
but not entirely prevent deterioration
of silage.
Get that piece ready for alfalfa.
Better double disk it again just for
good luck.
You cannot keep your farm per-
manently productive without the use
Of legumes.
Don't put in the alfalfa seed too
deep: ana remember to roll 1t well
after sowing.
A barnyard full Of manure never
produced big corn crop until 1t was
spread on the field.
Tobacco uses up large amount of
plant food and for that reason should
be heavily fortified.
Now and then old cisterns are used
for silos and make good receptacles
for preserving silage.
The average acre of corn will yield
ten tons Of silage while a good field
will yield considerably more.
Running over a field with disk
does a great deal to restore capillary
activity after land is plowed.
Sandy soils are usually deficient In
most of the elements Of fertility. Pot
ash is especially lacking in such soils
Keeping any machine well oiled and
In proper repair not only increases Of
ficiency. but decreases the amount Of
power required 70 run the machine
