Grave Of Franklin Pierce.

A correspondent of the Boston Journal,
writing from Concord, n. H., under date
of Dec. Goth, says: The ancient ceme-
terry on State street, in the northerly
outskirts of the city proper, is one of the
most sacred, and at the same time most
sadly interesting of the burial grounds
of New England. Within the Enclosure
rest the remains of the earliest dead of
the PenacOok settlement, while in later
years the earth has opened to receive all
that was mortal of hundreds of people
who were residents here and elsewhere,
including long list of patriots, scholars
and statesmen, who in many instances
enjoyed a national fame. In later years
an addition Vas made to this cemetery
on its northerly limits which was called
the Minot Inclosure," from the fact
that gentlemen of that name were mainly
instrumental in procuring it. This adj
dition is surrounded with an iron fence,
and beautifully laid out with concrete
walks, bordered with flowers and shrub
berry, and with burial lots symmetrically
and tastefully arranged. On the western
side of the inclosure, and short dis
lance from its northerly boundary,
the family ground of ex-President Frank
lin Pierce. The Pierce monument con-
sists of a solid granite base and tasteful
marble surroundings, which rise to the
height of about y feet. The plinth
bears simply the word Pierce"

FARM AND HOME.
Bones.

[ never throw bones away, but on the
contrary gather all | can find scattered
about, and purchase all l can get, to
manufacture into a fertilizer. The
process Is very simple and inexpensive.
Take strong, tight barrel, or some large
box constructed for the purpose, and
place covering in the bottom of about
four inches of unleached ashes; upon
this place layer of bones as close as they
can be packed together, and then cover
with unleached ashes SO as to hide the
bones completely, when another layer of
bones can be placed, and thus alternate
ashes and bones, until the vessel is filled.
If the vessel is very large, water should
be poured in when only four or five lay
ers are on; but when in common bar
rel it is sufficient to pour a couple of
pailfuls on when the barrel is full, or
better still, place the vessel out in the
yard, where it will get sufficient mois-
ture from occasional showers. If kept
under cover, water has to be supplied in
very small quantities, sufficient to keep
the mass moist. Leave the vessel thus
all winter, and in the spring it will be
found that the bones are dissolved. [
empty the mixture out, and add hen ma
nure for my onion bed, or decomposed
grasses and weeds, or stable manure for
for other vegetables Goderich, Ont.

A Convincing Argument.

a southern reporter, who called upon
Bishop Beckwitff, of Georgia, to inter
view him on the " help question, got a
story as well as a theological argument.
The bishop said that in Virginia, many
years ago, youth was under the care of
one of the old negro mammios." She
used to figure to him many vivid and
terrible things that were to be encount-
cred ia the bad place. By these descrip-
tions of the torments of he'll she sought
to make him abhor evil and seek to
escape its penalties. One day after hear
ing the place spoken of from the pulpit,
the little fellow said to his old nurse /:
Nanny, you say the wicked folks go
to the bad place." Yes, honey, dey
all goes down dar, shot, Dem dat don't
Tub and serve de Lord mus all 90 dar +"
And you say it is all fire and birthstone
down there?" Oats SO, honey; de

where do they get all the birthstone

Profits Of Good Feeding.

Last fall | had the offer of a COW on an
old debt, and hesitated some time as to
whether | had better lose the debt or
take the COW, as she was old and very
thin, but finally concluded to try and
make something out of her, though the
chances looked very small, and the boys
made a good deal of sport of her, and
said | would get nothing but her hide.
She was farrow, and was giving not
more than one quart night and mora
ing. | took her to the farm, and told
my man to do the best he could for her.
He commenced feeding her apples, and
though she gained steadily in milk in
was some time before she improved much
ia appearance; but after awhile the feed
and care began to tell upon her, and in
three months she was in good condition,
and gave twelve quarts daily. One
week | brought from there nine pounds
of nice butter, which the woman as
sured me was the product of eight days
milk, and at the same time sold two
quarts daily, and used what they needed
in the family, consisting of herself and
husband. | expected to feed her well
and turn her out to grass to fatten, but
she proved so good for milk | concluded
to keep her another year. She has kept
in good order all summer, and given
about as much milk as any of the cows,
but we shall soon dry her off, as we ex-
pect to have her for new mich cow this
winter. l also bought last fall flock of
store sheep, just as it was time to turn
in for winter, fed them till the 10th of
March on hay and oat screenings, and
sold them at an advance of $3.50 per

| circumstances.
There died recently at New Galilee,
Beaver county, an old gentleman whose
career illustrates to marked degree the
success which will follow perseverance
and economy, no matter where displayed.
The man was VIM. McCluso, who was
born in Lancaster county in 1895. He
learned the trade of blacksmith with
his father, and in 1913 left home to seek
his own fortune, with nothing in his
pocket, and no companion but a con-
science void of offence. He travelled on
foot over the mountains, stopped a few
months in Washington county, and then
went over to Beaver county, where he
settled. He set up blacksmith shop in
the wilderness, near what was then known
as Clarren's mill, near what isnow known
as New Galilee At this place he work
ed many years, and during this time
would not in twelve months get enough
money to buy rasps to carry ON his bust
ness; all his pay was in trade or country
produce. In the year 1927 he married
Miss Mary McCheseny He toiled

He then went to farming and improving
his land and in time was blessed with a
large family of sons and daughters. Per-
severing and economizing, improving his
lands and as he accumulated money IN
vesting it in more land and in securities,
he grew steadily in prosperity, living a
moral and Christian life. Having fol-
lowed to the grave his wife and all his
children, except one son, on the evening
of December %, 1877, he laid down life's
burden. and rested after pilgrimage
here of four score and three years. By
perseverance he overcame all obstacles;
by economy ne has left lands to the value
of $4,000, and of other resources more
than double that amount. The young
man grumbling at the hard times, and
lettering around street corners and
saloons, wandering around without an
aim, may take this as lesson. 1t makes

griddle rather less than half an inch
thick for half an hour. The excellence
of these cakes depends ON the meal be-
ing fresh and well scalded,
ENGLISH RAISED PORK PIEs.-Take
lean pork cut into small pieces; season
we'll with pepper, salt, and little sage
mix your -four with melted lard, using
neither water nor butter; when the
dough is worked into a proper consis-

close box or jar, will keep fresh and good
for months.

Fallow or Weed Crops.

A writer in the Country Gentleman has
an article from which we reproduce these
extracts:
The old theory that the soil needs
other rest than that given by our long
winters has been pretty generally aban
doned. If fields are kept naked for
months in preparation for seeding, it is
done to clean the land from foul weeds
rather than from any idea that the
naked fallow, is itself in any way bene-
fetal. Undoubtedly there is a constant
decomposition of the elements of plant
food latent in the sol. Flowing and cul-
tivation hasten this decomposition by
admitting air and moisture. But there
is also 3 heavy loss of those fertilizing
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1878-01-26

elements so long as the soil is left naked.
Hence. however, good the crop after a
naked fallow, the practice cannot be re-
garded as other than wasteful one. A
well cultivated, hoed crop will decom-
pose as much plant food in the soil as a
| fallow could. The crop will exhaust the
land more than the fallow, but in plant
| ing ground there will be something to
show for the loss; while in the fallow
there will be nothing. The cropped
| field will also leave its roots in the soil
and will give farther compensation by
the mulch and shade which it affords.
1t is said by special advocates of the
commercial fertilizers that they contain
no weed seeds. This is an important
| fact; but not one-half SO important as
the other fact that their judicious use
enables farmers to properly cultivate and
fertilize more land than they otherwise
could. No better advice was ever given
than that by Mr.. John Ecker, an en-
terprising and successful farmer of this
town, to neighbor who asked what he
should do with foul field. "Put on a
hoed crop and take good care of it."
The advice was followed and that field is
to-day as free from weeds as the average
of farms.
Cleaning land with a hoed crop offers
this advantage, that the extra labor of
killing the weeds is more than paid by
the increased value of the product. But
to plant and cultivate more, we must
have larger supplies of manure. Let no
man contemn stable and barnyard ma
nures because they contain weed seeds.
Excepting quack, there are no weeds
which need excite much alarm, unless
they are in some crop where you cannot
get at them with cultivator and hoe.
The millions of weeds which spring up
among corn and potatoes, and in gardens,
are dangerous only when neglected.
They may prove to be an advantage, as
they necessitate more use of the cultiva-
tor and hoe then the soil would other
wise get, but none too much for the good
of the crop.

Death in us Fayorite Robe.

The mortuary statistics of the whole
civilized world show that about one-fifth of
all mankind die af consumption alone, and
the number of deaths due to consumption
bears greater ratio to the whole number
than that of any other three diseases to-
gether. Moreover, investigation proves
that this ratio is steadily increasing. Its in
creasing prevalence has led to the popular
belief that consumption is incurable. Every
year hundreds of these sufferers seek, in the
sunny retreats of Florida or the dry atmos-
phere of Colorado, for health-and find
only a grave. The influence of the atmos-
phere-the only remedial agent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the consump-
tive--is at best only palliatire. The cure of
consumption depends upon two essential
conditions: 1st, the arrest of the abnormal
breaking down of the tissues, which pre-.
vents emaciation, and I'd, the restoration
of healthy nutrition, in order to stop the
formation of tuberculous matter. Fulfill
these conditions, and consumption is as
durable as fever. To fulfill these conditions
the required remedy must increase the APP
petite, favor the assimilation of food, and
enrich the blood, thus retarding the de-
velopment of tubercles. To accomplish
this, a more powerful Alternative than DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has never
been discovered At the same time, it
soothes the irritation of the nervous system
produced by violent coughing, which in its
turn so often leads to more serious results.
The use of expectorantS" in consumption
is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercles already formed they produce
yet more serious results by intiaming and
destroying the sound and healthy tissues.
Consumption requires a remedy that will
soothe while it relieves harsh medicines, but
add fuel to the fame that already threatens
to consume the system. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery fulflls these conditions, and
has been pronounced the best remedy yet
discovered to allay and arrest consump-

Singular Fatality in the McCook
Family

A singular fatality attended the Nc
Cook family during the war. In 1861,
one of the brothers was killed at Bull
Run while in command of his company.
Just one year later, ON the identical day
of the month, another brother, Robert,
was killed by guerillas, while riding in
an ambulance in Alabama. Another
year passed, and when the fatal July
day came, there was great anxiety among
the friends of the surviving members of
the family. Two of the brothers were
with the army of the Cumberland, and
to re-assure their mother, telegraphed
that they were safe in camp, and that
there would be no fighting that day.
A few hours later one of them rushed
into the tent of Gen. Garfield, with a
dispatch in his hand, picture of des-
pair. "My God," he cried, eve are
doomed. My father was shot to-day
while pursuing John Morganl" The
old man had shouldered a gun and
joined in the hunt for the rebel raider,
and was mortaIly wounded at Puffinton
Island. Next year the dreaded day
passed without another death in the
family, but few weeks later Gen. Dan.
McCook was killed while leading the
| charge at Kenesaw Mountain.

MAKE ME A SONG.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Out OF the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the ioneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall of woe,
Dim and drear
As hopes last tear,
tlut OF the silences make me n hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out of the stillnesses in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song of hope in last despair,
Dark and low,
chant of VICE.
Out OF the stillnesses, tone by tone,
Soft as snowflake, wild as moan.
Out OF the darknesses flash me song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright
Let 1t sweep as lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows of the night,
Sing it sweet.
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim,
And earth-songs melt into heavens hymns

Woman a Generally Handy Thing

FROM the new port Local.
A woman is a mighty handy thing to
have about the house. She doesn't cost
any more to keep than you'll give her,
and she'll take great interest in you. If
you go out at night she'll be awake when
you get nome, and then she'll tell you
all about yourself, and more too. Of
course she will know where you've been,
and what kept you out so late, and will
tell you; yet, right after she gets through
telling you that, she will ask you where
you have been and what kept you so
late. And after you tell her, and she
won't believe you, you mustn't mind
that; and if, after going to bed, she says
she hasn't closed her eyes the whole
night, and then keeps up the matinee
two hours longer, and won't go to sleep
when she has chance, you mustn mind
that, either; it's her nature.
