A SURPRISE

On Wednesday evening Of last
week while Miss Gertrude Keller
was busy instructing the Glee
Club at the home of n. S. Miller
she was surprised to hear sweet
strains of music from the street
near by. AS usual, she was too
much engaged to think of its
meaning, After another selec-
ton she was surprised to find
the house and yard filling with
warm friends whose love lights
were cleaning. She was made
to know love reflected love-
The evening was spent in various
games, At a late hour refresh.
mentS we're served.
Then began the good nights
and deepest expression of re-.
grcts for her departure. Mans.
field is certainly sorry to lose
her but other fields need good
teachers, and Seymour is to be
congratulated upon securing her
We can heartily recommend her
as being one of the very best
teachers employed anywhere.
Her principles of teaching are
exact. She is very adhesive to
the word consider which
means to think right, to think
with care, to pay due attention.
She extends her consideration to
others that will reach far beyond
this selfish sense of mime and
includes the public in thoughtful
care, She is always happy be.
cause she is always doing good
for others. Last year she organ
lied the High School Glee Club
which is an honor to any town,
Her instruction and careful con
sideration have been free. Hell
help in the band and orchestra
have been freely and willingly
rendered. She is strictly honest
and gives full value for her sal
AIRY. We have always found hel
obeying the divine law of love
dealing with mankind on the ba
sis of the golden rule, seeking
first and always to be governed
by good. We like her, will bt
considerate, and in spite of oul
deep regrets for her departure
will express gratitude for pas
services and pleasures and asl
that our blessings may rest up
on her.--C.

FERMENTATION Of Orchard.

AS the orchard Is to occupy the
land for several years. the work OF
thoroughly preparing the soil before
planting is important.
Whether the planting Is to be done
early or late in the season. there Is
nc time during the whole year so op'
perfume for effective work with the
pillow, subsoil pillow and harrow as just
after the first good fall rain. At this
time the subsoil is moist. not wet, and
lasting benefits result from stirring
and p%ulverzing the subsoil to a good
depth when 1t Is in Just the right ION.

Profitable ~Blackberry.

The Early Harvest blackberry was
very profitable this year In many To-
calities. 1t always did we'll for US,
but that does not prove that 1t ever
will for you. Along this line a friend
of ours who is a large grower OF all
the small fruit. particularly raspber-
ries, says: Cumberland is an abso-
lutte failure with me-" He knows his
business but lives in Marion county,
located In the Black swamp region
OF Ohio. Soil makes the difference.

Utility Of Fruit Thinning.

Fruit thinning pays in money re-
turns the first year.
The earlier the thinning can be done
the better will be the returns.
The best results are obtained by
leaving the apples from nine to ten
inches apart.
The systematic and annual uniform
thinning does much toward securing
an annual crop.
