WEDDING PRKPARATIONS. This usually takes the fou-m of get- ting together a large andt fashionable trousseau, and in ()Oss:!)Iy taking a few leasons in cookery, on the part of the lady, but if her future husjiand bap- jiena to make any sort of perional pre- parations, he keeps the matter to him- self generally. It is not de rigueur that :» sliould do anything to qualify him- self for the na«r condition of life which he is aljout to enter. It ia possible that he might with advantage ta'ie a iiint even from the savages ot .South Africa in the matter of the training of the masculine candidate fort naatri- jnonial felicity. Heforo a man is iiermitted to enter the hn'y cHtate he h.i!» to show of what m-lii lid Is made, and, whether h« is ^^â- if'.'ii^d of sufli.ient patience to en- dure the fret and worry of married In order to decide the point, the life. .â- ,ould-be bridegroom's bands are tied up for a couple of hours in a bag con- taining five fire-ant.s. If he should Kuocned in\l)earing un- ,iioved the torture of their stings, he is consiilered fully qualified for mat- rimony, for surely a man' of such ex- i^mplary patiance and fortitude could aot fail io make an admirable liuaband, even Aup|H»ing his wife to be the most nagging of her aex. ' WHKN aiAKRIAUE LS A FAIHIRE. Marriage i« a failure if neither hu» ' and nor wife has raarriel for love, • ut merely for money, or any other ! mundane motive. If the meals are ill-oookod and l>adly served. If two young people rush into mat- rimony and take ujon themselves all the hurden.s of married life, when too young to realize the awful resfionsibil- ity ot it. If the income, thoiig'h well managed and ma^lu the must of. cannot cover the Ri|jenditure. If the bu-sliand be a fad- dy. fMgelty man. periietuajly prying in- to household matters, and thinks he knows more about tbein tlian anybody else. If both lartieaare aheolutrly resolved lo see only the wprat side of each oth- er's charuotora. If tlia husband tries to be mistress as \\-k\1 as master, or the wife master as well as mistress of tble house. It, when dark days come, husband and wife forget that they took each other for belter for worse, tor richer for [oorer.

There have l)ecn varilous explanations given of the origin of wediling-rings. Whealley says the ring was anciently a seal by which all orders were signed and thihgs of value secured ; and t liere- foro the delivery of ill wa« a sign that the iicrBon to whom It was given was ailiiiilli)! into tlio highest friendship anil trust. Iliiolier re'gardod the rilng, from lis Htba]>e aJud portability, as a pledge of sincere affeulion. Other authorities aay that it was oriijinally a pledge oif the woiiuain's dov/ry, or regard it aijnijly on a toknn of th« mu- tual bondage to cauh otlior iinto which marriage brings husband and wifo. It would appear that woi Id ing- rings were worn by the .lews prior to the Chris- t ian era. The ritig lias been luiucb used it lietrotbala as w«il as at woddings. U. S.

After all that has been said and written on the subject ot manuring. it does nut seem to he well under- stood that it should be done sometime lefon* the crops are to grow^. There are five things that are especially needed by the soilâ€" humus, nitrogen, potash and pb'.wjiboric acid with water to i)eTmeale and dissolve them. Uoxnus is the decayed and decaying vegetable matter in the soil. It gives it that dark rich color, as w«v call it. It makes it light and porous so that if will tiold large quantities of water, just as the sponsv does. And in It tire tlie little "invisible friends" the myriads of ha-'tftria which fix or hold the nitrogen that tertain plants gath- er froun the air, and miike it available for the coming crops, Htable manure will make the humus, 80 will crops that are plowed imder. such as ih.) clovers, cow peas and soja lieans. And the nitrogen -vhioh they at the same lime bring to the soil is much cheaper than that liought at a big price in fertilizer logs. Indeed nitrogen is far the most costly ut the manures when it is l>ou«ht. The merchant l)a>^ea hie prico for mixed fertilizers more on the nitrogen tb'y contain than on any other ingredient. Moreover, when it is in the structures of these plants It Is in a mui-h less dangerous condition and is more easily ai>prp- Vriated by the nurceeding crops than in the form of mineral nitrates or an- imal refuse. Tiiese latter really do coosiderable harm if a(i|)lied dii-eotly to tender seeds or rootlets, and should he wx-11 mixed with thi .'•oil at about the time the plants will need the ni- trogen to st.mulate their growth, for i^ U very volatile when turned into anunan'a hy union with water. Pha-iph iric acid and potiush must aico 1» ai>plied properly. Many persona fail to get th«> good effe.ts from them whi>'h they might reavjnably expect. Thus is one p. iut that should lie thor- oughly undersitood by farmers, fruit- growers and gardeners. The preventive mea-mre is to an>iy potash iind phie- pho.-i<- acid in Ihrt fall nr winter and let the rains and melted snows thor- oughly d •« he tb-."»o min'"ral mauu'es and mix them with the soil. Then when the crops are sown or planted tha next aprinif, the |>otash and ph. sphoric acid will be in condition to do only good work. If a crop of clover ot any kind L"» on the ground they will gra- dually r<!ah the ro)t.s as thev iier- Ineate the soil, and stimulate them to greater a tion than would le possible without them. They will gather more nitro(g«vn. and thi.s with the other ma- nuren will together bo in condition to le taken up hy tbo following crop. It tak^s time to digest and prepare it for u,--*. If you cannot have all the win- ter and early spring lo prepar<t them have all that is |>oasilde. We do not feed a hor e and have the strength from Uiat felf same food ready for u.se the same hour. And ho with the food in the soil except nitrogen, which is almost immediately uvuilaWe Ni- ta-f^gn-n in the scdl Ls like a whip to the horseâ€" It acts almost at once or is gone by evaporation as ammonia. Furthermore, do not waste money on freight, wu'king and handling ot a lot of useless materials. Buy oonWMi- trated niannnvsâ€" .such aa dissolved Ixine or aMd phosphate and muriate of pot- ash. Mix them to suit your irneds. un- less you can g"t 8' 'me relialle merchant who ha.s mah'nery to do il for you at reasonable rates. And do not l)e afraid to apply Ibeni lilierally. It dees not pay to holf-feert the soil any more (han it does to half-feed fattening st<K^k. This half-feedinjj often leads to di.-ioournBt'jiient and dislelief in Jiiineral fertilizers. A little will do some good, but it takes about 3(>li |)Ounds of di.ssi>lv«Ml lone, and the same amount of potash or twice thiit nuiount of idinsphate rork to give a frop of almoHt any kind a good annual mertl. Full fe<Mling means net pro- fits, while halff«'«dlng only keeps things running at cost or a iittle lie- low it. OAT.SFOR COl.rS. Vf,v,- farmers seem lo realize that the first winter of a colt's life to a large extent dctevinino* its future useful- nes-s and value. "With the majority of our n/'quaintances the one thing they aim at the first winter is toughen the oolt, and in many cases he Ivecomes .so "tough" Ihat ho never makes a .'erviceable or profitable horse. The prorees of toughening is very .simple. The colt is left to shift for himself. He may wander over a field otbareoorn slalks through Ihednyand gather himself at night in the sbadow of a wire fenc* unless ao fortunate aa to find a ritraw pile that ia uno<;cupied by cattle and bogs. Ue has neith»> victuals nor drink offered him-,he aim ply roughs it. The oolt would make a much tough- er horse in the good sense if given pro- per food. And taken all in all there m ao food that »8 ao generally raised that is ao well adapted for the colt â€" for all horsekindâ€" as oats. Speaking of cats as the food for horses and of their especial value as food for the colt, a writer sayst "The oat is a natural food for horses at any age. It has just thu kind of nutrilii n to make the muwle and bone, and, con- joined with exercise, these are the lasis of utrengthi. "It is especially imiiortant that the colt should )«gio to develop muscle at an early age. If he is allowed free room in whi- h 10 run, the colt fed a few oata dally will du all ess that is needed. He will erea groom himelf hy rolling on the ground or in tbeanow when snow is on the ground. "Resides a pint of cats twie a day jnakiog only a quart a day, will keep the oolt growing, when with only hay he will have a rough, atari nig ooat and grow very little the first winter. "What ia worse, the oolt thus under- fed ia likely to have its digT>sti>n in- jured. The hull of the oat prevents i.t from injuring the cult when fed in Kuch small quantities. Towards .spring the amount of oats may be increased to a quart at each feeding. At a quart a day It is less than ainiabel per month, and at the largest It is less than two Ixi.'hels per month. "What is ten bu.'^hiils of oata iacom- pari.*^an with the increaied value of a thrifty horM» instead of having an unthrifty oviet GRAPH GROWING. Plant on a gentls eastern, southern or southeastorn slope. Any good gar- den soil will produce grafies. If the land is a clay soil Ule it. Sot two-year- old vines. Get them of a good nur- Ferymanâ€" not of agents. Plant in the fall 10x10 feet apart. Lay down on the ground during the winter and cover ». itb any kind of litter. .Stake while one and two years old and the th rd year put on treillHes. Th/ese trellises can bo made of posts and wire.
