The EX-President Yields to an
Attack of Neuralgia of
the Heart.
Arrives Home From Cleveland.

Two Days.
Briet Outline Of the Event

Closed.

Fremont, O., Jan. 1I.-EX-President
Rutherford Birchard Hayes died at IL
o'clock tonight from an attack of neli-
ealgia of the heart.
He left home Monday on a trip TO
Columbus, Buffalo and Cleveland. Sat
urday he experienced a severe recur-
rnnce Of the malady, but being prepared
"or his return home, proceeded on his
journey, accompanied by his son Webb.
Word had been sent home by telegraph
of the condition of the general, and he
was met at the train by his son, Ruther-
ford B. Hayes and DR.. f. S. Hilbeth,
the family physician, with a carriage.
Entering the carriage, they were rapidly
driven TO the Hayes mansion in Spiegel
Grove, where attention was given the
stricken general
From Mr.. Webb Hayes it is learned
that the condition Of his father took
sudden change early in the evening and
rapidly grew worse. The members of
the family had spent the day quietly
at home and nothing seemed to indi-
cate that the death of the general was
expected. Webb Hayes went to the
bank where he is employed at the
usual hour this morning. The family
has all along been reticent concerning
the condition of ex-president and the at
tending physician has followed the same
course.
Webb Hayes late this evening said
his father had passed a comfortable day
had rested quietly and seemed to be in
most cheerful mood.
Miss Lucy Elliot Keller. a relative of
the Hayes family, spent several hours
with the ex-president today.
While lying in his room he frequently
referred to his wife's grave on the pre-
ceding Sunday and spoke Of the quiet
beauty of the snow-covered scene. He
said he almost wished he was lying
there and yet, he said My life has
been unexcepdonal happy one"
His last words were II know I am
going where Lucy is" He passed quiet
ly and painlessly away at 1915 in the
evening. Sourrounded by the members
Of his household.
The funeral will be held Friday and
Gen. Hayes will be placed beside his
beloved wife in Lakewood

"A theory for feeding mich cows adj
Vanced by Prof. Kuhn is attracting
wide attention. He says that in de-
terIninlng the ratiOnS for milk cows a
basal ration should first be established.
BY this basal ration he appears to mean
what is termed the food of support; that
is. he would first determine what a far
row COW would require to keep her with
out either increasing or decreasing IN
weight, beyond the increase naturally
made by the growth of the foetus. In
addition to this basal ration, he would
give her food in kind and quantity pro-
pOruonate to the profitable returns that
can be made in milk. In other words,
he would fit the cow that has a ca
pacity OF yield of three hundred pounds
of butter in proportion to the require
mentS necessary for the amount Of milk
that would proudce that amount Of but
ter, and vary the rationS for the differ
ent capacity and the amount of milk
furnished, at different periods, return
ing again to the basal ration when she
dries off.
This requires more minute calculations
than the average dairyman will give,
but the principle is worth thinking
over in fattening cattle as well as feed
ing dairy cows.

The farmer who raises uniformly
good crops does not suffer much from
the fluctuations in price. The good
crop pays profit over production even
when prices are the lowest.
Any man who has spent hours OF

never to make under drains without

To keep barn and stable doors oper

ApropOs of hedges VS.. fences an agri-

The 'Old beaten track" is not the
one that will always lead us most
quickly, or even most surely, to success
in agriculture. New ideas and new
methods have come up in every branch
of farm practice during recent years,
and many of them have already been
tried and found good. A prejudice liz
favor of old ways should not keep one
from being progressive. Read, study
and keep up with the times.
Now that most of the Trunk railway
lines furnish cars capable Of holding
enough baled hay to make a minimum
load, Western hay is more generally
found upon the New York and other
Eastern markets, and a new outlet is
found for this Western crop. The
farmer of the West, to meet the re-
quirementS of these markets, must see
that the hay is gotten up in good shape
and baled straight"
Whatever depression there may have
been in agriculture in America in past
years, it seems to have been far worse
in England. At a recent farmers meet
ing in Maidstone, England, Mr.. J. Har-
bridge reported a number Of actual
sales as compared with sales and offers
on the same property in past years.
One farm that was sold years ago for
100000, sold within the last four
months for $4,000 Another owner re-
fused an offer twenty years ago for
$4,000, and within the last year sold
for $500. Evidently the causes OF
agricultural depressions are not local.

In fitting ground for buckwheat, q
thorough preparation of the seed bed
is more important than earliness. The
seed should not be sown thick. 1t is
a spreading plant, and a thin seeding
gives better yield than where the
plants are crowded. With moist, mel
low soil, buckwheat makes rapid
growth and fills better than it does II
planted early, when the grain has to
be formed in the hottest, dryest wealth
er. Between the two dangers, an early
frost and injury by blasting from hot
dry weather, the latter is much the
more dangerous Of late years.

that there was a trading post near that
