Secretary Mckeen

thought that all successful farming in
Maine in the next 90 years would depend
upon stock husbandry. He was glad TO
hear the subject of private dairying touched
npon. There was still a place for the pri-
waite dairy. and always would be, but il
would be limited. He had tried it, but was
not successful, principally because he was
not a good salesman. Now by the cooper
alive plan, through the creamery, his herd
was again profitable. The Forest City
Creamery would buy either milk or
cream and they had good sale
for buuermilk and skim milk, as
il was in populous neighborhood. The
conditions would he different in Freeport
In his experience it took eight quarts of
milk TO make pound of butter.
Mr.. Ninton said that TO increase the value
of our cows we must begin with calves and
We want to do it before they are six months
old. This can be done by feeding them.
That's where the skim milk comes in. and
that makes the calves grow and increases
the size of our cows
Captain Chattow related his experience in
increasing the size of calves by the aid of
skim milk. His success was very satisfac
tory.
As to how much water was needed by a
COW, Secretary Mckecn thought about -
quarts q day.
Prof Jordan had kept cows two or three
months without water. They were fed on
juicy ensilage and would not drink water.
It was an exceptional case, however.
( The matter was discussed until the hour
of adjournment, and considerable informa.
ton was brought out concerning the cause
of white hecks and streaks in butter Va.
rious reasons were assigned and varied meth
obs suggested TO avoid them, the principal
remedy seeming TO be the correct washing
of the butter.

The Resources OF the Soil

for plant food. Some of the farmers of
Pennsylxania and some IN Maine were en-
riehing the soil with clover plant The
clover plant may be made great helper in
utilizing the forces already in the soil.
We all know that farm manure will pro-
luee good crops. When the plant turns
over and breaks down it goes on helping
the soil. When the manure returns 10 the
soil it affords the richness of a previous
generation OF plants
There il a great difference in the plant
food that furnishes the manure. There
il great difference in the quail
itv of manure heaps in consequence of
the difference in the food fed to the horses
and cattle. The ingredients of manure
were spoken of. For an object lesson some
of tbs speakers experiments were alluded
to. The great bulk of the nutriment that
is taken by the animals is retained in the
manure heap. The essentials that are re-
tanned are at least 30 per cent. 4 great
deal of dressing was wasted ny most far

Of materials such As cotton seed meal, corn

A Remarka BILE Woman Gone.

Died, on February 18th, 1892, near Brown.
ingsville, Montgomery county, Md, Mrs
Jemima King Purdum, aged 81 years. She
was the wife of John L. Purdum, who died
in 1871. They were married in the year 1924
and were the parents of fourteen children,
six sons and eight daughters, all of whom
married and raised families, and, with the
exception Of two, located within two hours
drive of the old homestead.
In grandmother Purdums declining years
she derived much comfort from the fact that
among her four sons and seven sons-in law
there was not one rum sucker" but instead,
all were official members and workers in
the Methodist church, and, with her daugh-
tiers. were following in the footsteps of Chris
tian father and mother.
Their direct descendants number ZIG;
number OF children living, IL; dead, 81;
grandchildren living, 81 dead, %; great
grandchildren living, 90; dead, 20. 1t is
remarkable and almost unparalleled fact
that, 10 the Writer'S knowledge, there is not
habitual drunkard among this number.
The deceased was converted to Christ in
the tenth year OF her age and for more than
three score years and ten she fought the
good fight Of faith" dying In full hope of
Immortality beyond the grave. She left to
her loved ones legacy more valuable than
silver and gold-an honOred name, a sacred
memory, a Christian example.
She was the oldest member of Providence
M. p. Church, near Kemptown, Md. The
funeral service was held in Bethesda Nj. K.
Church, conducted by Rev. W. p. Floyd, of
Frederick Circuit M. p, Church, assisted by
Rev. j. r. Pardew, of Montgomery Circuit
M. f. Church, Her remains were inferred
in the cemetery adjoining Bethesda church.
The remains of her beloved husband have
since been removed TO the same cemetery
from the family burying ground, and now
these two, who lived together so happily for
almost half century, rest side by side, as in
life so in death

leased To the sandstone company a certain
water right at their works in this county
This lease was for twenty years from Janu
airy l, 1884. Some time ago the trustees oil
the canal wanted the stone company 10 can
Gel the old lease and accept new lease OF
the same right for three years, and threat
ened to shut the water off If the stone com
pany did not accept these terms. The stone
company refused To change the original
lease and petitioned the court 10 eBjoin the
trustees from shutting of the water or other
wise interfering with their water rights
The opinion of the court is a long one, and
the decree grants the inju notion as prayed
for, but adds that the injunc ton shall in no
manner restrain the exercise OF the right
and power of the said trustees acting in the
place and stead of the president and direc-
tors of the canal company TO control the
supply of water from the said canal to the
mill of the petitioner according TO the terms
and reservations Of the said lease of Decsm.
Der 30, 1888, and the petitioner shall in all
respects attorn to and recognize the power
and authority of the said trustees in the con
troll and operation Of said canal TO the same
extent az if said lease had been made by
them, and shall pay the rent reserved by
said lease 10 said trustees according to the
terms of said lease.
