produce 1000 tons of the best kind of
fodder, it is very easy to see that 10
head of stock cattle can be fed for six or
seven months upon it, and that the flesh
and fat put upon these animals by this
feeding, helped by few tons of corn and
cotton seed meal, will produce very
large income, of which nearly the whole
will be profit. Besides, there will be an
enormous quantity of manure of the rich
est kind made, which, put upon the corn
stubble in September, viii be able topro-
duce a very respectable crop of wheat.
There is no question, and never has
been, as regards the profit OF feeding
cattle or sheep when rightly done. The
practice of feeding has been reduced to
an exact thing. One pound or more of
flesh or fat can be put upon the carcass
of beef every day if it is of the right
age and well fed.
The future of the live stock business
at the present time is very promising for
the feeding of cattle upon farms which
offers handsome profits without the risks
which accompany western cattle-graz-
ing. But one special point needs to be
carefully considered. This Is that feed
ing old or full-grown stock is only throw
ing away feed. This has been so clearly
shown of late years as to admit of no
doubt whatever. A statement made at
the recent fat stock show at Chicago
showed this in the clearest manner. A
two-year-old steer gave profit of nearly
fifty dollars on its second years feeding;
the next year the profit was only seven
dollars. The profit lies in feeding young
animals from their birth or their wean-
ing and pushing them constantly until
ready for market, when the sooner they
ere sold the better for the feeder. Thou

Obituary..

HIRAM l.. Couch died at his home in
Wellington, Sept. 1s, 1883. The deceased
was born in Lebanon, N. Y, Oct. %, 1915;
at 12 years old he came with his fathers
family TO Wellington, where he has contin-
uously lived, being at the time of his death
about sixty-eight years of age; and about
fifty-seven was spent in this neighborhood.
Coming into an almost unbroken wilder
ness materially aiding to make Wellington
what it is, and with personal characteristics
of unusual worth, the impress of the de-
ceased upon society and his friends is well
marked; and his memory is worthy to be
cherished.
To more than generally attaches to char
acter his individuality was distinctive. He
was jealous in defense of his convictions,
and these were formed upon a liberal and
loyal basis. He had no sympathy with op-
preston, and his positive nature rapidly
took on a belligerent attitude to the OPP
pressor. Let him come in any form, relig-
iously, pathetically, or in business rela-
tion. Individual rights he respected, and
awarded to others all he claimed for him
self-thus he was fair man, an honest man,
and commanded respect. We can not too
often revert to the hardships and courage
OF our pioneers, of which Mr.. Couch was
one. Nor can we do too much to keep
green in memory their virtues. He who
has given his life with honest and indus
trious intent to our community commenc-
ing in its infancy and laboIing with steady
hand and courage with others in the growth
of all our moral and material acquisition
deserves our lasting gratitude. Mr.. Couch
had unusual value to his more immediate
friends-his heart was ready in sympathy,
his hand ready to aid; and dmany memories
will come to wife, brothers and sisters of a
sensitive endearing and enduring nature.
All loved him and all knew he loved them.

each summer. She had lost her husband
and children, and devoted her life there
after to helping the unfortunate and teach

work she has done for these lonely ones
will be the appropriate and best monu-

was so impaired that her friends in the
North discouraged her going South again.
one and two years ago, she felt that she
could not leave her work, and this year
could scarcely be persuaded to stop and
take any means to prolong life. 1t has
proved false and fatal hope-that held
