Queen Alexander and her mother, the Duchess of Albany, reached the chapel at 10:45, bowing modestly to the cheers which rose from the masses of tenantry and other people living along the roadway. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved enthusiastically In the air, and the charming princess was visibly affected by the warmth of welcome accorded her by the people. The Duke of brother of the bride, awaited her com, ing at the entrance to the chapel and conducted her to the vacant gold chair on the left of the bride groom, all present rising to receive the Princess Alice.

Emperor William and EmHesse-Casse- OUR PARCELS POST (From the Sacramento Bee. In a paper read by Edward Berwick. of Pacific Grove, before the re- cent Fruit Growers' convention at Fresno, Cal., he made a strong plea for a cheaper and better parcels post service in this country, giving facts and figures to show that the same service in Great Britain and on the European continent la far superior. Even in Canada, comparatively a sparsely settled country, with an area far greater than that of the United States, postal charges are much less than our own. Newspapers, for Instance, mailed from the office of publication, are carried aa second class matter at the rate of half a cent per pound, while the American rate la one cent per pound. And for distances less than 800 miles, the Canadian rate is but of a cent per pound. While our American rate on parcels of any description is one cent an ounce, or (4 cents a pound, with a limit of four pounds In weight, in Gerparcel' may he many, an eleven-poun- d sent by mall for six cents between any two points not exceeding forty-si- x miles apart And alxty cents pays the postal charge on a package of 110 pounds between any two points within the limits of Germany and Austro-Hungarone-quart- er y- In Swltserland the postal charge on an eleven pound package, delivered at the residence or place of business of the person addressed. Is but 8 cents, and a package weighing forty-fopounds win be delivered at any postoffice for 80 cents, while 8 cents more secures the delivery of such a package at the premises of the And, as the Bee person addressed. has several times mentioned, the British rate runs from 6 cents for a of 24 parcel to a maximum cents for 11 pounds. As Mr. Berwick showed, our foreign parcels post service is far behind that of most other countries which are embraced within the International Parcels Post Union, formed in 1880. He brought out a very interesting fact In this regard, showing how the British postoffice has arranged with the American express companies for the delivery of packages up to a maximum weight of 11 pounds, in any part of the United States. Thus for a total charge of 75 cents, paid anywhere In Great Britain by postage stamps affixed to the parcel, It la carried across the Atlantic and delivered by express in New York, Brooklyn, Hoboken or Jersey City without extra charge. And a British postal package will be delivered at any express office in the union, outside of the cities named, for an additional charge .of 25 cents. To Illustrate, the American express companies will carry a package weighing as much as 11 pounds between New York and Sacramento, or any other point on the Pacific coast, at a charge of but 25 cents, when it comes to this country through the mail from Great Britain. But the experss charges for an package sent from New York to Sacramento, or from Sacramento, Is $3.15. It Is clear that the American express companies would not carry British postal packages at a postage stamp rate of 25 cents to any part of the United States unless that charge allows a margin of profit, and from this It may be Judged that the regular American rates on express business are enormously extortionate. In England, it appears, the railroads hove a contract with the government by which they receive 55 per cent of the gross charges on the postal package! they carry, and this arrangement ur one-pou- nd nd a royal personage, but merely a for- WHITE SEAL Champagne F.

I expect we shall bring our herd up to 10,000 pounds of milk and 400 pounds of butter per cow. That can only be done by a process of breeding and selection. When we buy a cow we weigh her milk every night and morning, take a sample and put it into the Babcock teat and test It Then at the end of the month we know the unmber of pounds of milk she Is yielding and the percentage of fat. At the end of the year we know what each cow haa done, and if she does not come up to the standard we get rid of her. In the case of heifers, with their first calves, we give them a second trlaL That briefly is the plan we have adopted raising all our heifer calves, having them drop their calves at two lf or three years old, milkand two for lactation periods, and ing weeding out at the end of the second lactation period. To improve the quality of the herd and the quantity of the milk yield, a man must not only breed his cows right, and weed them out according to standard, but It also Involves the question of feeding. No wonder your cows People say: milk well; you feed them so well" Cows cannot be expected to milk wen on a small quantity of feed. I hare no time to discuss the question of feeding In detail: the main thing la to give the cow all the bulky food she will eat: but it should be of a digestible and palatable nature. In addition to this she should receive eight pounds of meal to every thirty pounds of milk produced In order that she may produce milk econoone-ha- eign noble, having been the issue of a morganatic alliance between the prince of the reigning house of Wurtemburg nnd a Hungarian countess.
