The church tea on Thursday after
noon from 4 to g. by Mesdames n. M.
McDougald and r. H. Harrison at the
home of the former was a delightful
affair, which was enjoyed by a large
crowd. This was the social christen'

homes in our city, and the guests were
unanimous in their praises OF the sue
cess of the builders art and the eX-
quisite taste displayed by the owners,
II is adaptable in every way to the
arrangement of social affairs and,
while no added decorations were real
" needed, the spacious rooms with
their handsome inlaid floors were rich
" decorated with ported ferns and the
seasons blossoms. Crystal vases and
bowls were filed with the lovely
flowers and their delicate fragrance
perfumed the. entire house. These
hostesses know well how to provide
for the comfort and pleasure of their
friends. A refreshment course OF
chicken salad, sandwiches, crackers,
pickles and strawberry ice was passed
during the calling hours, and at the
conclusion the plate of silver was
well filled with free-will offerings,
which gave testimony of the generosi'
ty OF all the callers.

CULTIVATION OF SWEET

near the top OF the ground, Of medium
fertility and naturally drained. To
put the soil in an ideal condition we
grow crop OF cowpeas upon 1t the
year before and let the vines remain.
This vegetable matter should be thor
oughly worked in with disk harrow
and the ground broken deeply. At
planting time lay off the rows three
feet three inches apart, manure lib

about 1000 pounds Of guano that has,

understand this: The larger the
quantity of commercial fertilizer used
the less will be your chances OF keep

winter. Throw two burrows on manure,
drag ont the middles lightly with
pillow with sweep. When ready to set

set the plants about fourteen inches
apart. Cultivate them once or twice

Six years ago. Prof Freno il declared

encouraging, considering that it has

The result Of the experiment was vet"
satisfactory, and the development oil

has become part Of the extension

Very early i'm the movement the

AS part OF this new educational
extension the elements of agriculture
