Sutton and Schleicher counties, Texas,
have adopted resolutions urging Con-
gress to so amend the tariff as to prevent
the importation of foreign wool under
the names of ring-waste, thread-waste,
etc., which are used to evade tariff duty
declaring that it is largely due to these
fraudulent importations of wool and i'm
proper classification and inequality of
the tariff on wooden and worsted goods
that our industry has been so seriously
checked in its development, and deciding
to send delegation to Washington to
present to Congress the true needs of the

tions also express great satisfaction at
the result of the late election, thinking it
a vindication of the protective system.

OBITUARY..
MRS. o. A. BICKNELL.

Died, in this village, December "a, at 80 p.
m, Mrs. Charlotte IL. (Powers) Bicknell, aged
65 years. Her funeral was attended at the
house on Thursday, Rev. Mr.. Thompson
preaching the funeral sermon to large and
sympathizing audience.
Mrs. Bicknell spent a large part of her life
in this village-her father having moved to
this place from Bennington, VT, when she
was a child. Mrs. Bicknell was a woman nat
urally endowed with a strong, vigorous, re-
tentive mind which was strengthened by cor
rect reading which enabled her to grasp the
every day events of life in manner that en-
abled her to give an intelligent reason tor her
moral and religious course through lite. Her
intention always seemed to be to make those
with whom she came in contact in the world
to become better and happier. For many
years she has been an acceptable member OF
the Methodist church in this village; and until
failing health ed she was active and
liberal in every good work. Even while she
has been suffering invalid from rheumatic
trouble Tor these many years, her busy and in
geniOus hands have been active in gratifying
her neighbors in matters OF taste and refine
ment She bore her pains with Christian resig-
nation, and gave evidence to all who knew
her that she was Christian in every sense OF
the word. Even the last hour OF her lite she
spent busily engaged in preparing and direct
ing the distribution of Christmas gifts to be
ri ven to her friends and the children in her
neighborhood, that they might have some
memorial OF her after she had passed from
their sight.
GLOW well she sleeps; the waketul and the
weary,
AS wrapped in slumber-very calm and
deep;
No fever starts, no vision wild and dreary,
For so He giveth his beloved sleep.
"Resting at last, who found rest but in dying,
Whose lingering lite could only anguish
keep;
See how the peace OF God is ON her lying,
For so He giveth his beloved sleep.
80 blessed sleep! and o more blessed waking
From earth's distress to Heavens delights
to leap,
The night all past, the glorious morning
breaking,
For so He giveth his beloved sleep" X

Tho Butter Conference.

The Instructors at the butter confer
ences are expected to make butter of fine
quality, however the cream may be and
whatever may be the surroundings. The
experienced butter maker knows this to
be hard thing to do. The variety of
conditions, however afford an opportunl-
ty for object lessons, as mistakes and
failures can be pointed out and both
lines OF working can be shown-to wit,
the wrong way and the right. One thing
seems to Impress the general audience
the instructors do not do things by guess.
All temperatures are tested by thermome-
Ter and when the butter is coming. fire.
quent reference IL had, to be sure it is In
just the right state. The lesson of care
fuiness and system Is forcibly taught by
word and deed.
AT one churning the ladies' were asked
to indicate what should be done to make
the Dutter come sooner, and with the
cover of the churn of, three decided that
the cream was too cold, each one by her
own method Of guessing. One touched
the cream, another the lid, and another
put her face in the churn. They were
surprised when more cold water was ad.
ded by the instructor, and In a few
minutes the cream was at GA. This
cream was started at TO- In an atmos-
phere of about so.
On cold morning, man reported
that his wife had been churning for two
and half hours, and the butter had not
come when he left home, and he wanted
to find out the reason. They had no
thermometer and churned about the same
time In the day as they always had, and
1t was mystery. He was advised to In.
vest 20 cents In thermometer, warm his
cream, and churn.
There are more failures In butter mak-
Ing for lack of care In handling the
cream than from any other cause The
common notion Is, that If the cream only
gets sour 1t Is all right, how or when is
immaterial. Particular pains are taken,
at each conference, to show the impor-
lance OF getting the cream from the milk
while both are sweet, and keeping the
cream in such condition that fully "a
hours shall elapse before 1t Is churned
The cream must also be Wrated. and this
word is substituted for "stirred," and
washing for working, with new term
Through salt mingling." Anybody can
make butter of some sort out of cream,
but not everybody can so handle milk
and cream as to make good butter

Exporting Wheat to South America

The grain export business at the St.

exporters buy and ship out the wheat and
corn receipts almost as fast as they ar
rive, they being restricted In the amount
Of their shipments only by their inability
to get barges In which to haul away the
grain. Cobb, Orthwein and Francis each
report hindrance on this account, and
say that II the export demand continues
