Mr.. and Mrs. S. W. Phinney, of Phil

Ter makers, and at oar earnest request
they have furnished us with some inter
esting facts and figures regarding their
successes. They live within the limits
of the upper village upon little farm OF
twenty-five acres, eight of which are cul-
tivated. They keep four Jersey COWS,
and in ten months they sold 906 lbs. OF
butter from these COWS. at 30 cts per. lb.
From new milk sold in the same time,
$4,000; veal calves, S22 80 Raised one
hog which sold for S:}5.25, the porker
living upon milk slops and four bushels
of meal. Also a big eight months old pig
that weighed 325 lbs, and another small
pig that sold for 5000, fed wholly on
milk. They now have shoat worth ten
dollars, which was WirtGred on skinned
milk. They give the cons credit for one
half the pork, which is worth SS:} -.
The COWS also produced thirty loads of
good dressing for the land Mr. Phinney' S
family has averaged four or more, and
the cows also produced the butter used
in the family From his little farm Mr..
Phinney has cut the hay for his four cows
and sold $1,000 worth. Pastures his own
cows, also. Raised twenty bushels OF
apples, forty bushels of potatoes and for
ty bushels of corn on the cob.

The Fresh AR Fallacy

Fifty years ago few people knew much
about ventilation. or indeed, believed
much in its Importance and a crusade in
favor Of ''tresh air. was fought by the
sanitarians Now The tide runs the 9TH
er way and all the dull people have
learned the phrase ''freSh air" and insist
on having what they call 'fresh air at
any cost, and without regard to times
and places. Two men will come into the
spacious parlor Of a club: the air, though
warm is much purer, and cooler 10y five
degrees, than the furnace blast OF the
streets that they have left. The incom-
ers are entirely comfortable until one of
them notices that the windows are shut
hen they remember the formula "tresh

they have cleared their consciences, and

we not suffer from this ignorant concep-

FREEMAN BECOMES SANE AND Is TO BE TRIED
FOR MURDER.
ChaS. +. Freeman, the religious fanatic of
PocaSset, Mass, who, in May, 1879 slew his lit
tie daughter as sacrifice to God, has been pro-
nounced sane by the asylum authorities, and as
there is pending against him an Indictment for
murder, the form of trial must now be gone
through with. Freeman is much the same man
That he was when he led the little community
on cape Cod INTO fanaticsm so rank and wild
thai he was sustained and defended by scores
OF his neighbors in the dreadful crime he COM
mltted. He, however, has lost something of his
arrogance, and his religious belief is entirely
overturned. Indeed, he is fast tending to inf
delsm. He now says that he was instigated bv
the devil to kill his little daughter and not in
spired by God The circumstances of the trage-
dy he claims to be unable to recall. but he does
not seem greatly overwhelmed with remorse
Frequently of late Freeman has been allowed
to visit his wife. who joined with him in PRAYER
before the awful sacrifice, and who held The
light when he plunged the knife into the heart
of their little daughter. Mrs. Freeman was not
long kept in confinement. For two or three
years she has been earning a living with her
needle for herself and the surviving daughter in
Lynn. She, too, has renounced the Second Ad-
vent deluson, and feels more keenly than does
her husband the terrible manner of her child's

The war veteran was reminded of this

from beginning to end, nobody ever lis

man with a story began again ''The

A Word for the Grow.

Don't kill the crows. 1t is only within
few years that speakers at the various
meetings had the courage to say a word
for the crow, but now it is admitted that
bis character is not SO uniformly black as

white grub is on the whole the most in
furious insect, when we consider the
great variety Of plants it attacks, ranging
from grass to nursery trees, and that its
work being beneath the surface. is not
suspected until the injury is done The

him to detect the unseen presence Of the
white grub. and a fondness for fat NOR

OBITUARY.

Nellie Collins is at rest. Her prayer has been answered. On Sunday morn ing at 7:3O o'clock her soul left its poor diseased tenement of clay and winged it's upward flight.
 Her childhood was not bright or happy one. Nellie was less than two years of age when her mother died. She never knew mothers love or sym pathy. Her brother was the only one she could confde in and the only one that could truly sympathize with her during her early years.
 Nellie had no place she could truly call home until her brother provided one for himself at which Nellie was al- ways welcome and her last weeks on earth were spent at her brothers house and her death occurred there. Her brothers wife proved herself sister to Nellie and did everything possible for her comfort.
 Nellie was genuine humble christian. She was 8 Roman Catholic but not in the least bigoted and she daily illustrated her depend ence on 8 higher power than priest or pope. For her, death had no terrors and she daily prayed that it might come to end her suferings. Everyone respected and admired her and she has been faithful servant in the families where she has lived and will long be remembered. She was 8 victim of that fatal disease, consump- tion. ......-. ...r ,,e s..- .---r-,,-e
 Her funeral was attended yesterday (Tuesday) at St Joseph's church. A large number followed her remains to their last resting place in the cemetery near Amesville.

Help Mother.

A father, talking to his careless daugh- ter, said 'sI want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed 8 careworn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act ot yours; still, it is your duty to chase it away. l want you to get up tomorrow morning and get breakfast, and when your mother comes and begins to express her surprise go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides you owe her kiss or two. Away back when you were little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-t tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shadow she was always ready to cure, by the magic of 8 mothers kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough world. And then the midnight kiss, with which she has routed bad dreams as she leaned over your restless pill low have all been on interest these long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of the work the last 10 years, the contrast would not be so re- marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours-far more and yet if you were sick, that face would appear more beautiful than an angels, as it hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be wavelets of sunshine chasing over the dear face. She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lift ed from her shoulders, will soon break her down. These rough, hard hands that have done so many necessary things for you will be crossed upon her breast. Those neglected lips, that gave you your first baby kiss will close forever, and those sad, tired eyes will have open ed in eternity and then you will appre ciate your mother; but it will be too late. "- Elrchamge
