Miss Eleanor Alexander, Who Married Son of former President

THEO. ROOSEVELT CLAIMS HIS BRIDE

Theo. Jr. and Miss Alexander Are United In Marriage. FLORAL DECORATIONS FEATURE Immense Throng Attends Marriage of Popular Young Couple and Streets Are Crowded With the Curious —Reception Follows. New York, June 21. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. wais married to Miss Eleanor Alexander, the daughter of Mrs. Henry Addison Alexander, of 42 West Forty-Seventh street. Long before 4 o’clock, the hour set for the ceremony, the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church at Fifty-Fifth street and Fifth avenue was more than comfortably filled by early arrivals among the 820 invited guests, and Fifth avenue, * for two blocks north and south of the church and along Fifty-Fifth street, was crowded with people who seemed equally divided between the desire to set a glimpse of the bride and a look at Col. Roosevelt. A Just at the last minute Col. Roosevelt remembered that his former regiment of. Rough Riders was in town and that they had’nt been invited, and in no time, Kenneth D. Robinson was hurrying around to the Rough Rider headquarters at the Hotel Buckingham to tell “the boys” to jump into their uniforms and come along. There was a mighty scurrying about for uniform? and strenuous efforts to round up the missing, but nearly fifty of the men managed to get together and marching two abreast reached the church in time to add a military touch to the wedding. At 3:40 the ripple of a cheer and_a sound of hand clapping up the avenue announced that Col. Roosevelt was coming. He drove up to one of the Fifth avenue entrances in an auto accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Archie and Quentin, the two younger Roosevelt boys. Col. Roosevelt raised his hat to the Crowd and then turned to greet Inspector O’Brien, who stood at the door of the automobile. “Howare you. Steve?” said the colonel. ‘l’m mighty glad to see you.” Then he passed on into the church. While the crowd waited, the Rough Riders came marching up from the Buckingham. It was almost exactly 4 o’clock when the mounted police galloped up and down to shut off traffic on the avenue and clear the way for Miss Alexander’s auto which came through east Fifty-Fifth street and drew up at the church door at that side. The bride hid her face in a great bunch of lillies of the valley when her automobile was blocked just before reaching the church door. Then she lowered the bouquet and smiled out quite frankly at the people. Inside the church was a garden of flowers. Festoons of roses garlanded the columns on either side and at each window base, roses were massed in ferns. The aisles were walled with roses and lilies of the valley; each pew was outlined in roses backed by delicate ferns. The pulpit was carpeted with roses and the organ loft whs hidden with great branches of the pink Rambler rose upon a background of palms concealing Nathan Franke’s orchestra of fifty pieces. Asr Miss Alexander entered the church the orchestia, accompanied by the organ, began the Lohengrin wedding march. Miss Alexander walked

up the aisle with her mother and was met at the chancel steps by the bridegroom, accompanied by his brother, Kermit Roosevelt, as best man. The bride was dressed in white sating, the bodice trimmed with rare vallenciejrttes lace. The vox tulle veil was caught in the coiffeur with a coronet of orange blossoms. 'Her bouquet was of white ore* ids and lilies of the valley. The ceremony was performed 1 y Rev. Dr. Henry M.. Sanders, the great uncle of the bride, assisted bv the Rev, Gordon Russell, of Cranford, N. J. The couple knelt on a prie dieu of white satin surrounded by festoons of bride roses and with' an arch of flowers above. As they passed down the aisle after the ceremony the’ orchestra played the music of. Mendelsohn’s setting to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” After the ceremony the bridal party was held up for a moment in the rush to shake hands with Col. and to congratulate bis son and give good wishes to the new Mrs. Roosevelt. Then Theodore Jr. and with an escort of police cavalry drove to the home of the bride’s uncle, Charles B. Alexander, at 4 West FjiftyEighth street, where the reception was held. The guests who left the reception carried with them little boxes of wedding cake marked with “A. R.” in a gold monogram. The secret of the honeymoon trig has been carefully guarded, but it is said that Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. will go for a short automobile tour before starting for San Francisco, where they will make their home and where Theodore Jr. is due on July 1, to begin w ork as the Pacific coast manager of the salts department of the Carpet factory at Thompsonville. Conn., where he went to work after leaving Harvard. Col. and Mrs. Roosevelt and family returned to Oyster Bay in a private car attached to the regular train.

AROUND THE FARM

Building Up the Soil. During farmers' week in Burlington. Vt, says a correspondent of the American Cultivator, an expert of the United States department of agriculture, L. B. Dodge, spoke on the management of the dairy farm. He said New England farms did not produce as heavily as they should. This he attributed to lack of rotation of crops and to heavy feeding and cropping of pastures and meadows without adequate return of plant food: also to tfle waste of stable manure and its improper application. . A good rotation is corn, grain, clover. Hay land should be top dressed with stable manure, and best results are obtained by applying this little and often. Where land remains in grass a long time a light seeding of clover from time to time is beneficial, reseeding in summer after the hay crop has been removed. Pastures may be top dressed- and should not be grazed too early in spring nor to heavily. Where pastures can be plowed it is advisable to plow and reseed occasionally. The raising of clover, corn and forage crops furnishes a larger amount of protein for cattle, and less feed will need to be purchased. The more fodder the more cattle can be kept, and there will be an increased amount of fertilizer to apply to the land. Crops should not be sold that will carry a large amount of fertilizing elements off the farm.

Feeding Calves In Summer. In warm weather calves should be kept in during the daytime and turned out during the evening, so as to avoid the hot sun and the flies. Whole or chopped oats should be fed or a mixture of whole and chopped oats. About a cupful twice a day for an ordinary sized calf that is on good pasture will be sufficient. For fall feeding until the roots are harvested there is nothing equal, to green corn run through the cutting box and mixed with some chopped oats. The main point in feeding is never to allow calves to stop growing and to keep beef animals always "in good flesh. In feeding calves, as in every system of feeding, the extremes of over and under feeding’ are to be avoided. Continuous, regular, liberal feeding always brings the most profit and the best practical results.—D. C. Anderson. Poultry Jottings. A lack of clean, sharp grit is responsible for half the cases of bowel disease.«< If eggs are the object don't overfeed on meat, but allow all the green food the heps will consume. Poultry houses and runs that-are kept clean the year around, disinfected often and never overcrowded with fowls are seldom infested with lice or other vermin. A tablespoonful of sweet oil poured into the bird’s mouth will often relieve a case of crop bound. " After giving the oil gently knead the crop with the hand until it is softened. An early morning meal will prevent many of the hens from stealing their nests out. The earlier the meal the better. Many of the hens will then visit the nests before starting out to forage. Sugar Beets,as a Stock Feed. Stockman have long been of the opinion that a ration of mangels or sugar beets in some way causes kidney or bladder stones when fed for any length of time. To shed some light on this subject the lowa experiment station has been carrying on somte experiments in feeding mangels and sugar beets to rams. The results of these experiments show conclusively that such feeding is attended with considerable danger and is almost sure to prove fatal if continued for any considerable period of time. For short fattening periods there is no particular danger, and the roots make a valuable addition to the ration.—Country Gentleman. Amount of Grain on Pasture. Growing or fattening pigs cannot be produced satisfactorily on pasture alone, but a grain ration is necessary. The Montana experiment station found that hogs fed a full grain ration on pasture gained on an average 1.39 pounds per hog per day and required 412 pounds of grain for 100 pounds of gain. Hogs fed a half ration of grain gained .98 pound per hog per day and required 291 pounds of grain for 100 pounds of gain. Thus it will be seen that the hogs fed a full grain ration on pasture made more rapid gains, but consumed much more grain for every 100 pounds of ghin. Spray For Potato Blight. Potato blight is often very destructive to .y Irish potatoes. The plants should be sprayed every three weeks during growing season where blight is prevalent. A good formula for this purpose is copper sulphate (blue vitrol) four pounds, lime five pounds, water fifty gallons. Paris green may be added at the rate of one pound to fifty gallons of the mixture, when potato beetles and flea beetles will be destroyed as well as blight.—Farm and Ranch, Treatment For Limbemeck. Limberneck in chickens and hens is usually caused from eating poisoned food, such as spray mixtures, decayed meat, etc. It can be more easily prevented than cured. It results from paralysis of the nerves caused by trouble in thd intestines. Give thq fowls gruel made from flaxseed or white of an egg with milk Seasoned slightly with ginger.—Farm and Ranch.
