The main crop celerV is grown in trenches the feet apart in double alternate rows with eight inches between the plants in the row. These trenches are prepared just as 1.121er as the plants are large enough to be transplanted trom the hot beds.

The bottom of the trench is- filled with three to four inches of well rotted mixed stable manure. The trench is then filled“ to within two inches of the surface with the rich surface soil, leaving the sub-soil between the trenches for earthing up the celery when the time comes for blanching.

Amid a wealth of plants and flowers, (ferns, tulips, Carnations, roses and daffodils), which lent a varied color and aromatic atmosphere to the home, which was otherwise tastefully decorated in white and gold, the family and relatives to the number ,of twenty-two enjoyed ,a hounteous wedding‘supper. At 8 pm. a host of relatives and friends to the number of fifty or more gathered to do homage to the bride and groom and were enter- tained by a prgramme of music and song, one number being a solo rendered by the bride of fifty years, interspersed by readings and short talks extolling the virtues and good work of this most estimable couple. An especially interesting speech by Dr. Elliott of Wolseley, readings by Mrs. M. J. Linnell, of Woodrow, and song and dance by Mr. Muleahy, Vieing for premier honors therein. At 10.30 pm a dainty lunch was served to the assembled gathering and a most enjoyable evenin, was closed by singing “Auld Lang yne”. During the day, Mr. and Mrs. Lin- nell received a shower of letters and telegrams of congratulation from absent relatives and friends. They were also the recipients or a great number of beautiful gifts and floral tributes including a gold flower urn, suitably engraved, from the family, an underarm bag, initialled in gold from the Home- makers Club to the bride, and a gold mounted cane. suitably in- scribed from the Curling Club to the STQQHL After residing 1'01 :1 time on 111.. old homestead at Eg1emont Mr. and Mrs. Linnell moxed to \\ alkerton.
