MINISTER'S WILL NOT
 MARRY DIVORCES

\ Earlisle. Pa, Sept 10.-Clergymen of this city have started a movement < to line up the clergy of the entire 2 state in opposition to the remarriage of divorced persons. The plan pro- < vides that ministers shall sign an agreement not to perform a marriage ceremony in case where either one of the contracting parties has been
 Ndisorced.
 ..ssa A committee was appointed to pre- !; pare petition to the local clerk of 1.-the court, requesting him to indicate
 on the marriage license furnished to : ministers whether or not either of .s the parties contemplating matrimony 5 had been divorced. This is not re- Quired by state law now, but can be done, it is claimed, at the option of the marriage license clerk.
 rt The ministers, however, probably will provide an exception in the case of persons who can furnish to them, ] under oath, evidence, including a . transcript of the order of court, show ing them to be the innocent party.

BUCkWHEAT MAKES
GOOD CATTLE FEED
Quick Growing Crop and Straw
Is Good Absorbent for Use
About the Stables.
oBy A. J. LEoa.)

Thirty years ago farmers were pre-
JUDGED against buckwheat as a farm
crop. They thought buckwheat a very
exhaustive crop and that 1t ruined
their soil
Now nearly every farmer In this
section grows a few acres OF buck.
wheat. and while 1t is a quick-growing
crop and. of course, removes consid.
erable OF the plant food, 1t does not
seem to be harder on the soil than
corn or oats.
Buckwbeat will keep down the weeds
and keep the soil practically free from
them. 1t is an excellent crop with
which to SOW grass and clover on ac-
count OF this, and also because 1t ma
lures quickly and leaves the young
plants In complete possession of the
soil
AS to the value of the buckwheat, II
makes good feed for all the stock
and the straw is good absorbent to
use about the stable. The nutritive
ratio of buckwheat is about one to
seven.
As to its cultivation. IT may be

ture a crop. 1t only requires about 60
days in which to mature. An acid
phosphate seems to be the fertilizer
to use.
The West Virginia experiment sta.
tion found that $50 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre was the most eco
nomical fertilizer to use on buck
wheat
heavier application did not pay
the extra cost of the fertilizer In In

One bushel of Japanese buckwheat,
or three pecks of the Silver Hull vari-

The soil should be well prepared
by blowing. narrowing and rolling. 1t
is usually better to plow the ground
two or three weeks before seeding.
The crop is sown here at any time
from May until August. with fairly
good results.
The earlier sowings do not usually
yield as many bushels per acre as the
late ones. but the seed is usually bet

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

AS old age advances we require less
food to. replace waste and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food Is found In Grape
Nuts, made OF whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastass
in the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the outer-coat Of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat of the wheat darkens the flour
and is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-balanced building OF muscle.
