This estimable lady passed to her rest
on Saturday, at the residence of her son
Frank, in Cohoes, N. Y. We had heard
of her illness the week previously and
had hoped to hear more favorable tidngs
later, but her age, 81 years, precluded
hope of recovery, and she passed quietly
away as stated. She was conscious to
the last. Mrs. Wickwire was well known
to people of this town and her two sur

are becoming widely known. Miss

tiOnal subject, written by Superintendent
Davis, has recently come to the notice
of Rev. Robert Quick of Redhill, Eng

ton. This famous educator has sent
Miss White and Mr.. Davis each with his
autograph copy of his famous lecture
on teaching numbers to little children,
given before the College of Preceptors
in the University of Cambridge. This
is great compliment to Miss White as
teacher and a splendid recognition of
the methods introduced into our schools
by Superintendent Davis. IL must in

world to-day is listening to Robert Quick

further that Superintendent Davis has

RATIONS FOR PIGS.
Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean I'm
changed by Ordinary Foods.

Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean I'm
changed by Ordinary Foods.
Bulletin 10 of the Virginia expert
ment station gives the details of ex-
periments with different rations fed
to pigs to determine their relative
economy and the comparative amount
of fat and lean produced by each The
first ration was corn meal alone, in
which the percentage of nitrogen was
quite small; the second consisted of
10 parts corn meal, 4 parts bran, and l
part beef scrap, and the third of parts
corn meal, 2 parts bran and parts
beef scrap, which had a large percent
age of nitrogen. At the beginning of
the experiment the groups of pigs
% in each group weighed about the
same amount, but it soon became evil
dent the third group which ate most
heterogeneous food, was not gaining as
rapidly as the others, and after about
months all three of this group died.
An examination showed that they per-
ished from lack of power to assimilate
food. The other groups were slaugh-
tered after 10 weeks feeding, but no
difference in the relative amounts Of
fat and lean could be discovered. The
group fed corn meal alone had gained
l pound live weight for 1470 pounds of
dry substance in food eaten, at cost
of 5.3 cents per pound gained. The
group fed 10 parts corn meal, parts
bran, and part beef scraps gained
pound live weight for IL. "a pounds dry
substance in food eaten. at n cost of
AS cents per pound gained. To sum-
Marie it appears: l. That very mar
row ration is not fed with economy,
and may even cause death through
lack of power to assimilate food in so
concentrated form. O. That not the
slightest difference is made in the pro-
portions of fat and lean meat in hogs
fed corn meal alone and corn meal,
beef scrap and bran. 8. That the cost
per pound increase of live stock weight
was one-half of / cent per pound in
favor Of the bran-fed lot

POULTRY PICKlNGS,

ALLOW each hen three square feet of
room.
PEKIN ducks are best where there are
no ponds.
If kept dry and clean, earth makes a
good floor for poultry.
HENS must be provided with warm
shelter if they lay eggs during the win
ter.
USING milk to make soft feed for
poultry will be found much better than
water.
MUcH loss in eggs is often occasioned
by allowing the hens to lay outside the
poultry house.
If eggs are to be kept any time they
should be washed clean as soon as they
are gathered
ONE reason why corn should be fed
at night during the winter IS that it is
one Of the very best materials for MAX
ing animal heat.
WIEN fowls purchased for breeding
are brought to the yards keep them
separate from the other poultry for
two or three days.
ANY kind of grease Is certain death
to lice, while the odor of certain oils,
like cedar, kerosene or spirits Of tur-
pentine will drive them away
SOME hens are natural fighters, and
one such among lot of hens will mo-
nopolize food and roosting quarters to
the detriment Of all Of the others
WINTER layers depend upon early
pullets, early puuets depend upon early
settlers and early settlers depend upon
winter layers a failure Of one means
more err less failure Of the others.

A FRIEND AFFAIR.

Tell me, you who went to sleep
Many years ago.
Leaving US to silence deep
In this world below
Have you found that inner life
Whereof we did talk,
Far removed from hate and strife,
Peace your daily walkl
When you dropped your eyelids down,
DID there seem TO fall
Through the silence, like q crown,
A sweet, silvery caIIs
Did your tears disturb your restf
Could you hear us sob?
Would your death have seemed more blest
Had we hushed each throbs
Is that new world fair and bright
As we used to deemS
Have you knowIedge2 Have you light
on each earthly themef
Never any word comes back
Since you left this shore
II Of JOY you know no lack
Never any more.
Could we know, o friend afari
Where your footsteps tread.
On some glorifed bright star,
Crowned with peace your head;
Could you but one garland drop
From your asphodel,
How our wonderings would stop,
AS the fragrance fell,
Still In dreams we see thee pass
With an angel choir.
BY the storied sea Of glass
That IS mixed with fire;
Face uplifted fair and cain,
Step sedate and slow,
Fingers holding boughs Of palm
Such as angels know
-eanor w. F. Bates, in Woman's Journal

but little injured. The explanation of
this difference is to be found In the
fact that the blight fungus is pro-
pagated during the summer by means
of microscopic spores, which of course,
fell in greatest numbers upon the
young plants nearest the blight-in-
Tested ones. The lesson to be drawn
from the fact is too plain to need point
ing out. If it were possible, indeed, to
isolate beds of young plants SO as to
prevent the access to the leaves of all
spores, plants might be kept free from
blight indefinitely
All through the summer the blight is
propagated by these long spores.
Toward fall the threads which have
been mentioned as forming the grow
ing part of the parasite within the SUBJ
stance of the straw berry leaf, form
solid tissue-like masses in The dead
part of spots, and finally these appear
at the surface as small black dots. The
function of these little nodules appears
to be to preserve the parasite condi-
tions of weather unfavorable to active
growth and multiplication. They are
in the old leaves all winter, and send
out in spring threads bearing spores
similar to the long, jointed summer
spores.
The cut will show the peculiar charac-
ter of this fungus.
