 An amusing and novel feature of the evening was the fishing party The guests were invited to fish in the beautiful Wilmington lake, which was illuminated with electric iishts. Many surprises were sprung. The fish, turned out to be bottles in which the written fortunes of the fishermen were prophesied. Then, there were other surprises and much merriment ensued when Miss Pauline Nobbin discovered in her bottle an engagement ring; Mir. Troy Tague, a wedding ring; while in another Mir Troy Tague received three babies These trip.ets be it known were dolls.
 The favors presented the guests were souvenir letter openers.
 The honoree received a shower of handsome gifts which were of linen. silver, cut glass and hand-painted china.
 s. M. Duffie & Co. expressed their regard for Miss Sisley who is valued employe, by making her a handsome gift including towels. table cloths and napkins.

THE CHARM
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 Cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment atsuch times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received q shock frono which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

TO PREPARE ALFALFA LANDS
Making 4 Seeded 10 Most Important
Single Operation In Getting Stand
and Keeping II.

(By ALVIN KEYSER, Colorado Agricul-
tural College)
The preparation Of the seeded is
the most important single operation
in the process of getting a stand Of
alfalfa and keeping It. The blowing.
II done in the spring should be done
as long before seeding as possible. For
irrigated land the blowing should be
thoroughly double disked.
This should be done especially on
the loans and heavier lands. II not
done there Is strong tendency for
more or less of q crust to form. The
result is considerable loss OF filth or
proper physical condition, Often this
can only be restored by a season Of
winter when the freezing and thawing
will break down the clods formed. In
order to thoroughly compact and pull
verize the soil. the pillow should be fol-
lowed the same half day with the disk
harrow and the spike tooth harrow.
This treatment, If well carried out,
will produce deep seeded. we'll pull.

face and loose at the immediate sur
face. Such a seeded has subsurfacs
free from the air spaces.
There ia no compacting agency 30
good as nature and time, os II such
seedbed can stand fora month or six
week prior to seeding. 1t will be In
even better condition for planting than
when first prepared. In the event of
heavy beating rains which form a
crust prior to seeding time. the sur
face should be again put In condition
by disking and narrowing.
If the supply of soil moisture is not
sufficient for proper termination. the
land may be irrigated prior to seeding.
AS soon after irrigation as the condi-
ton of the surface permits. the land
should be disked and narrowed to pre-
vent the formation Of crust and to
produce soil mulch which will retain
the soil moisture and conserve the sur
face filth.

HOG PRICES GO LOWER.

Washington.-Farm prices for beef
cattle advanced more than 3 per cent,
but average quotations for hogs ana
sheep were lower on April Is than on
that date in 1918, according to figures
prepared by the Department OF Agri-
culture. Cattle prices for April, 1914,
were 1929 a hundred. an advance OF

Kansas there was no change in cat

Wisconsin there was decrease OF

ant in soils at the Kansas Agricultural
College. "The protective covering
constitutes a mulch"
There are two kinds of mulches.
These are natural soil mulches modi-
ned by tillage, and foreign mulches
which are applied to the surface Of
the soil. The natural soil mulch con.
sists simply of an air-dry layer Of
soil covering the moist soil below.
"The effectiveness of the natural
soil is much dependent upon the size
OF the soil particles, the coarseness of
crumb structure. the thickness of tho
mulch, and the frequency of stirring"

very fine dust mulch, because 1t will
tend to prevent the ready entrance Of
moisture into the soil and the cult
walton necessary for It's formation
will destroy organic matter. A deep
mulch is desirable. but there is dan
ger in getting It too deep. because the
roots of the plant will be harmed by
the deep cultivation. The mulch
should be stirred frequently in the
spring. The sooner 1t Is stirred after
q rain, the better.
Many materials are used for foreign
mulches. The moro common ones in
use are: manure, straw, dead weeds.
and sawdust. They are applied to the
surface Of the ground. and serve as a
cover to the moist soil. These are
used to a considerable extent on grain
and pasture fields. All of them are
efficient as mulch. their efficiency

porosity. The foreign mulch ia not
used extensively In general farm
work. and is not as practical as the
