Elsewhere in this issue will be found a letter from the Farm. growing out of a request from the visiting members of the Press Association. This letterl is highly interesting and profitable _ reading, and much benefit Will result; from a careful perusal. In fact we; believe all the bulletins from the Col- 3 lege are profitable to agricullurlistsl and we publish nearly every one they E send us. Some there are who do -noti care for them. but we took the trouble 2 on one or two occasions to enquire re- l garding the agricultural ability of the growler. and found he wasn‘t consid-t ered high enough to get a rating. Our- opinion is that the articles are all good. and we think that the Pr’ovin-l cial Government. the College and the i railroad Companies. are muchindebted to the press of this country for the enormous amount of- free advertising they get through the local papers. We disseminate the information cheerfully. believing we are doing a good thing. The interest we cause. people to take in the Farm, the exper- iments and the College in connection, leads thousands every year to visit the Royal City, and this brings large trafiic to the railroads. Our biggest kick is against the railroads. who are owing much to the press of this coun- The Canada.

His head is the right place for a. business man to have his brains. If éhe carries them in his feet he cuts a ! small figure when he comes to count 5 up his profits at the end of the year. The bachelors have been reflecting for a long time and they don’t seem as if they are going to let the old maids have a chance. An old maidis an unclaimed blessing but the men don’t seem to smile on them with much sweetness if they don’t, have cash. A country editor doesn’t need much brains, but if he expects to influence public opinion for good the stock he has ought to be of fair quality. If a. man can't keep himself when he’s single the only real reason he should give for wanting to get mar- ried is to have somebody to help make up the deficit. If an old maid is rich she can have more followers than a. load of green corn in a pasture field full of hungry steers. An old maid can keep herself easier than she can keep herself and a. useless husband. A poodle dog would be a less expensive pet. The home of Mr. Chas. Boyle was the scene of a very happy gathering on the evening of February the 14th inst. The deep interest 'shown by the seventy or more assembled guests was explained by the fact. that, on this occasion. Mr. \V’alter Ledingham, of W'eyburn, Sask.. was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Mary \Vray Boyle, daughter of Mr. Chas. Boyle. of (ilascott. The young people were ably supported, respect- ively by Mr. A. M. Ledingham of \Villiainsford. and Miss Hannah Boyle, the bride's sister. The cere- mony was performed by the groom’s brother, Rev. R. B. Ledingham, of \Valdemar. assisted by Rev. Mr. Mc- Donald. of Dornoch. while -Miss Mar- garet G. Gun, of Durham. played the W'edding March. Some men think it’s a poor hen that can't scratch for herself and one chick- en. If a Woman marries a man of that kind she may have to do some scratching for the old rooster. \Vhen a man is so slow that he daren’t go through a cornfield for fear of being run dewn by the pumpkin vines we would advise a girl not to spend much energy in chasing him up. \Vhen an old maid sees a. young girl chasing round trying to capture a two-legged whisky barrel she returns thanks at, once for being an old maid. 8 1113!}. The man who wears the showiest necktie isn t always the man with the biggest stock of sense. Bachelors musn’t think that all the Reflections come from their side. Old maids have lots to think about and ‘if their reflections were printed they would give some pretty good reading. Bachelors aren’t all angels and when they show up smart and funny in the presence of a girl it would be well for the girl to find out how he treats his mother. If he doesn’t treat his moth- er with a. fair degree of respect his wife needn’t look for any special attentions. A man that can’t see what an old maid means when she’s right afterhim isn’t sharp enough to make a. good spry husband. I am an old maid myself but I mightn’t have been if somebovy had only asked me when I was a girl. I’m not awful homely but I guess I didnit do enough street gadding to capture a bean. The bride. leaning on the arm of her father. entered the parlor. and being suitably attired in White silk. with white carnations in her hair. was well worthy of all the admiration which she received. As for the groom. he {never looked so well before. Thus {happily did these young people enter l into the true spirit of St. Valentine’s [ Day. in a most practical and satisiac- '; tory manner, 5 Mr. Boyle is a charming host. His. ' is ever a hospitable home. In the bountiful repast prepared, in the warm welcome given. in happy re-uu- ion of friends. the repetition of former festal occasions was observed. An linteresting program of sacred songs. lspeeches. etc.. was successfully con-‘ ducted by Rev. Mr. McDonald. The . excellence of the many gifts show the high esteem in which this young couple are held. In some two weeks Mr. and Mrs. Lediugham intend jour- neying to their own home, where they. will undertake a share of the respon- ’ sibility in moulding the life of our . great Canadian West. Needless to I suppose that girls have things well arranged in the pantry and the cob- Webs cleaned from under the spare bed before they start out on their daily gadding expeditions. When I was a girl I used to help mother with the housework. Say. the best wishes of their wide circle of triends attend them as they St. Valentine’s Day Wedding. Reflections of an Old Maid A successful carnival was held on the rink on Wednesnay evening of last week. From 8 till 9 o’clock the maskers had possession of the ice and the costumes so many were much admired by the large crowd of spec- tators.
