Two men went to hunt and camp in

five loaves of bread, the other three
loaves. Before any of the bread was
eaten, another hunter Joined them.
This third hunter, having no provisions,
the three men agreed to eat the bread
as common property. When they re-
turned from the hunt, the hunter who
had furnished no bread, paid eight sill,
yer dimes for the bread he had eaten.
The two who had furnished the bread
were satisfied with the amount Of
money, but quarreled about the divis'
ion of the pieces. As they could not
agree, they referred the matter to q
schoolbOy who was going from school,

Lice and Tobacco.

Prof. A. j. Cooke is credited with
this advice: "By pouring two gallons
of hot water on a pound of tobacco
stems will answer welI-we have a
liquid which, when cool, will be speedy
death to lice on calves or colts. Blu.
bach or pyrethrum will also kill the
lice quickly. Stroke the animal with
the hand, passing it against the direc>
ton of the hairs, and follow it closely
with bellows containing the powder,
which is blown on. l had occasion to
try both these remedies the past year
The pyrethrum is the best to use in
cold weather. 1t is also well, each
fall, to whitewash all stalls and barns
where stock is kept. This kills the
lice--the nest egg, as it were-which
are only hiding their time with the in-
tent to sup blood as soon as the stalls
are again occupied"

Obituary.

John G. Brown was born February
Sd, 1915, married to Miss Martha Biles
in 1912, protested religion in August
1874 and joined the NJ E. Church,
soon after, and died at his home in
Warren county, Tenn, Sept. 4th,
1884. He raised seven children, and
lived to see them all grown and mem
bers of the church. 1t has been said
by one who has studied human nature,
that an honest man is the noblest work
of God. John Browns character Ia
this respect is untarnished and his integ'
rity unimpeacable. He lived well
within his means and died out of debt.
But the browning excellency of his lat
ter days was his experimental religion,
developing in a devoted christian life.
True, he came into this higher life late,

was rational to the last, and talked Of
death as it approached without alarm;
was ready and willing to go. We
preached his funeral to good and .ap'
preciatipg congregation, and then quiet

devoted wife (who had preceded him
only few months) in the grave yard
at Old Mt. Zion. Oh, how we sympa'

Apples in Western New York.

Advices from Erie, Niagara, Orleans,
Wyoming, Genesee and Chautauqua
counties show that the apple crop of
Western New York is rather above the
average in yield, but the market price
is generally very low. Through the
fruit belt of the South Ontario shore
and in Wyoming county the crop is
large, but the market is SO low that
farmers scarcely care to pick and pack,
as barrels cost as much as fruit brings.
Chautauqua is falling of as an apple
growing district, but gaining greatly in
the grape acreage, Commission men
in Buffalo are shipping prime qualities
of apples, mostly to Eastern markets,
at 81 to $1.75 per barrel.
