Wants To Know
read in he Toledo Blade, II a
wife refers to her husband as my
man." she doesn't know every thing
about grammar, but she seems TO
understand the possessive case very
well. Mr.. Editor, / inquired of you
once before why the minister in
performing the marriage rites, after
saying the usual ceremony to the
would-be bride and bridegroom,
winds up by pronouncing them man
and wife" Wouldn't it sound much
better to say husband and wife?'
| think it wouldn't be anymore of
an infringement on grammar to say
man and woman" than to say
man and wife Please answer.
(This office, being practically un-
versed so far, as to detail of the
technicalities involved in the mar
riage ceremony, has at last run upon
one question it is una0le to answer.
For the sake of the public in general
and individuals in particular who
may be concerned as to detail of
ceremony, and grammatical con-
struction of the preachers pro
nouncement," we are submitting the
question for open thought and dis
cuSSiOn n-Edltor.)

harrow is used. Seed sown now
without a seed-bed preparation is
largely wasted. Sow the clover seed
and go over it with 4 spike tooth
harrow, the teeth slanted back at an
angle of about As degrees. With
the teeth slanted they will not hurt
the wheat very much. It looks bar
barous but it is largely a cultiva'
ton for the wheat as we'll as prepar-
ing a seed bed for and covering the
clover. Sow and harrow when the
ground is dry about the middle of
April.
Oats And Soy Beans
Oats and Soy beans seem destlned
to replace considerable winter kill.
ed wheat With prospects in doubt,
many farmers will be looking for an
emergency crop to put on frozen ont
wheat ground. If oats are selected,
southern Ohioans should use an car
ly maturing Variety like Fulgun.
This variety natures before the hot
muggy weather of midsummer
which is detrimental to oats. Full
gum most always oct yields other
common varieties in southeastern
Ohio.
FertiliZe The Orchards
Fruit trees and fruit respond
wonderfully to an application OF
Nitrogen. Five pounds of nitrate OF
soda per tree, depending on the size
of the tree, increased the yield OF
apples 35 pounds of fruit per tree,
in cultivated orchards in Muskin-
gum county, and increased the
yield of apples 80 pounds on sod
ground. If fertilizing for quality OF
fruit, and growth of trees use nj
trate of soda. Other fertilizers help
most in improving the sod mulch.

The Wheat Outlook

The wheat Outlook
Lack of SHOWS have put winter
wheat in poor condition in Morgan
county this spring. Several wheat
fields will be plowed and put into
other crops. 1t appears that the
wheat fields that started into winter
farthest advanced in growth, will
come through the best. Some fields
at Christmas time appeared as II
the plants were ready to joint. The
New Years. freeze came upon
them and they wilted down. 1t was
expected then, that due TO their ad-
vanced growth, these fl e ds
would fare the worst, but it seems
that they are most promising now
The fields on the leeward hillsldes
have wintered better than those on
windward hillsides.
Seeding To Glover
Most of the wheat fields that look
thriving will be seeded to clover il
they have not been already. Some
were seeded when the ground was
honey-combed. Better results can
be obtained in late seeding when the

There was an end to her resistance

Quick Quick, them she painted.
And then, just as they reached the
door, it was thrust open from with
out, and the tall, graceful figure Of
the Duke of Buckingham, his curled
fair head almost touching the Intel,
stood before them, a flush of fevered
expectancy on his handsome face. In
his right hand he held his heavily
feathered hat; his left rested on the
pummel of the light dress rapier he
was wearing.
The pair recoiled before him, and
Holes loosed her wrist upon the
swift, instructive apprehension that
here he was like to need his hands
for other things.
His grace was all in glittering satin,
black and white like a magpie, with
