IRVING COLLEGE.

A pressure of business recently has
prevented us from getting in our lit
tie mite for several times, but your
readers have not lost much on ac-
count thereof. Until the last ten days
it has been SO rainy that farmers were

blues till they got Sin the weeds"
and since the rains ceased they have
been so eternally present with the
weeds that you can't get to see one
without going to the field and that
is against my profession. 1t is not
my business to go to the field and fol-
low u man back and forth from one
end of the field to the other to collect
a little news or neighborhood gossip
for the instruction or even amuse-
ment of newspaper readers. So it is
not to be wondered at that the news
'crap" is short.

school building this summer, to meet
the growing demands of the schoo
for more room.
The school is increasing in popu
larity and usefulness every year

teachers, we may confidently expect
even greater results in the future.

Obituary.

Susan L., wife of Thomas Brown,
and daughter of John O. and Louisa
A. Pope, was born Aug. 10, 1916,
and died in Warren county, Tenn,
near Hickory Grove church, May 10,
1890. She professed religion and
joined the Baptist church, (the church
of her parents) at about 16 or II
years of age, and lived worthy and
upright member of the same until
death.
But we will miss her more than
they. Living nearer our church,
and her husband being a devoted
Methodist, and her religion of that
large spirited type that recognizes
true Christianity wherever found,
and that labors for the cause when
ever opportunity offers, we were
more blessed by her Cody walk, and
christian work.
But, with her "the tiresOme strife
is DER" and she rests from her labors
and her works follow her.
She lived to see some of her chill
dren converted, and rejoiced to wit
ness them earnest workers in the
church with their father. When ]
asked her as to her future prospects
the answer was, "there is nothing in
my way"
Blessed state! AS 1 sat by hel
bedside that SAD Tuesday morning
she turned herself in the bed, hel
face towards me, and said some
thing / could not understand, ant
then breathed her life out sweetly
as an infant going to sleep, surround
ed by those that loved her and tina
she loved.
Wednesday was a rainy day, bu
a large congregation of sorrowinl
relatives, friends and neighbors gath
cred to the funeral at Bethlehem
church, where we buried her in bliss
full hope of happy resurrection.
Husband, father, mother, brothers
sisters and precious children mourn
her absence. A. l.. CONFER.

VIOLA.

Viola, June 5, 1990.-The fine
weather has helped the farmers out
of the weeds. We are in need of rain
at the present-oats and young clover
are needing refreshment badly.
We are as a rule divided on the
question of cheat-some take the POI
sition that wheat made it this year,
while others stand it out that cheat
was sown. / will not give my opin-
ion on the subject-but I never saw
as much cheat in life as we have this
year. All wheat fields are poisoned
more or less with it in our section of
country; some fields will not pay to
reap.
The students of the Viola Normal
gave quite an interesting concert for
25 cents a head last Friday night.
Quite crowd of McMinnville and
Manchester people were present.
Mr.. Sim Moore, of this place, had
quite an accident near Beech Grove
a few days ago. He was going from
church when his horse slipped on a
rock and fell in the creek, In getting
up he overturned the buggy.
Mrs. Lizzie Mooney and her
daughter, of JOnesboro, Ark, are

here, if her daughter miss Lucy i'm.

improved by running over with light
harrow or rake, stirring the soil as much
as possible without injuring the roots
Then about half the quantity of seed
recommended for new lawns should be
sown and the surface again lightly
stirred and thoroughly rolled.
Moving should be commenced as soon

GRAIN FEED.
Prof whiteher's Experiments and Their
Results.

With linseed in 1886 / found that IL
cost three-fourths of cent per quart
more to produce milk with linseed than
with gluten. so far as the richness OF
the milk is concerned il depends upon
the COW first, and the balancing OF the
ration second. Ii is the whole ration,
hay, ensilage, grain. ete.. that de-
termines whether the food is well
adapted 10 the production Of milk, and
the substitution Of one grain for another
will have very little effect ordinarily on
the quality. A ration must have
proper ration between its albuminOids
and on-albuminoids. Cottonseed,
gluten and linseed are closely alike in
their characteristics in this respect. All
have large per cent. of albuminoids
and are admirably adapted to supplying
just what our common folders like hay
straw, corn fodder and ensilage are de-
ficient in.
There is 4 widespread belief that the
richness OF milk may be varied with
about the same ease that the quantity
can be, but this is an error. provided
well-proportioned food is given. From
a A&e4OA VI AAOhGE nay anu NOEli meal =

but ensIlage and corn meal are not
capable Of giving the right ratio. How
ever, ensilage and cottonseed or gluten
or linseed can be made to be identical
with that of the clover and corn meal,
so far as actual nutritive matter is con-
cerned, and one will produce Just as
rich milk as the other. Or one-half
clover hay and one-half oat straw may
be taken, and by substituting cotton
seed for part of the corn meal, a ratio
producing Identical results may be
made from this combination.
