Over = Hundred Dead.

, Er1NAL, France, April 20 The list
of the fatalities caused by the breaking
of the great Bouzey dyke in the Epinal
district Of the Vosges increases every
hour. One hundred and fifteen deaths
have already been reported, but only
80 bodies have been recovered. 1t is
believed that the death list will be
greatly in excess Of the figures above
given when all the districts are heard
from. 1t is supposed that many Of the
dead were swept into isolated places
where it will be long time before the
bodies are found.
The whole region over which the
thousands of tons of water swept in q
resistless flood is strewn with every
sort of wreckage and the whole country
presents q most desoate appearance.
In many places the early crops were
swept clean out Of the ground and the
losses thus incurred will be very heavy.

MILK NOTEsFROM THE "GRANGE
BULLETIN"

If the best flow of milk is desired,
give the COWS the most perfect rest and
quiet.
Digestion is best accomplished when
all other parts of the body are at
rest.
The value of the dairy COW depends
upon the amount of milk or butter she
will produce.
The amount of butter that can be
made is limited by the amount of but.
ter fats that the milk contains.
Kindness and gentleness with the
COWS is the best policy, if the best flow
of milk is to be secured.
All the money made in dairying is
with the good COWS; do not lose it with
poor ones
In the dairy business one must be
making a constant effort to secure the
greatest quantity of product of the
best quality at the lowest cost.
Scalding water should be used in
cleaning the milk vessels until they
have been well rinsed out with water
considerably below the scalding point.
The ,milkman's profit in dairying is
attained only by feeding up to the
highest point all of the time that the
COWS are being MIXED.
The flow of milk being once checked
by a shortage of feed or the pasture
getting short, cannot be revived with.
out an expenditure in excess of what
would have been necessary to- main.
tain it.
If the farmer can grow cheap feed
and then convert it into first class but
ter and sell at a good price, he should
not have to struggle very hard to make
a comfortable living.
The more months in a year that a
COW can be induced to give milk the
greater will be the profit in her keep
ing.
IF a heifer is allowed to go dry two
or three months before calving she will
begin to go dry about the same time
next year, and if allowed her owner
will soon lose her service for a good
portion of the year.
Hot weather and dry pastures cause
more loss in the milk dairy than in the
butter dairy, because the COWS put less
water in the milk, so that the milk
dairyman has the more need of succu-
let food.

FAREWELL.
Rev. J. N. Field Says it to His
Church and Congrega-
tion Sunday.
HIS WORK FINISHED HERE.

Two Excellent Sermons Left with
church Crowded at the Evening
service-Leaves For Buffalo Thurs
day.
At the Baptist church yesterday Rev.
J. N. Field held the last Sunday services
he will hold in Canton.
At the morning service, fully 600 peo-
pie were present, and paid marked atten.
tion to the able discourse delivered by
Rev. Field. The sermon was to the men,
bers of his church, and the text from 2
Cor. 13, IL; Finally, brethren, farewell !;
be perfect; be Of good comfort; be of one
mind and live in peace; and the God of
love and of peace shall be with you"
The speaker described the character of
Paul, author of the text and showed how,
after life Of effort, Paul sums up the
entire gospel In the words of the text.
He then applied the various portions of
the text to the congregation, before him,
and feelingly referred to the relations sus-
tanned by him to them for the past six
years. He advised them, in the selection
of new pastor, not to expect q perfect
man-au angel "You did not find an
angel in me- F" declared he, unless a fallen
one" The speaker spoke tenderly Of the
140 members whom he had buried during
his pastorate, and urged his old congrega-
tion to remain true to the faith, till
death called them. At the conclusion of
the sermon, he asked all who had Joined
the church during his patorate, to rise,
and half the congregation arose
The church, at the evening service, was
packed, and hundreds were unable to gain
entrance to hear Rev. Field preach his
last sermon on "How to Make the Most
of Life" The text was from the last two
verses of the last chapter of Ecclesiastes.
The speaker said in part: Life Is
given TO us as sacred trust, and we
should at all times consider that 1t should
not at any time be idled away. Life is
brief, but OH how important! 1t is not
anything that can be measured by dura-
tlon, for the oak outlives generations of
men, but who would exchange life for an
oakY Life is the first period in an eter-
nal existence, and is shaping and guiding
all the eternity to come"
The speaker then gave the means to
live right; by keeping the object and aim
of life constantly in view declaring the
chief end of man is to glorify God that he
may enjoy him forever by keeping out OF
Dau company; Dy tearing 0ou anukeeplne
his commandments by avoiding procras-
tination, and remembering God shall
Judge every work, whether it be good, o,
whether 1t be bad.
He then spoke to the citizens at largel
and said he would never forget Canton,
for he had spent some of the happies'
days of his life here. He feelingly referred
to the pleasant relations he had always
enjoyed with Cantonians and closed with
an appeal to all to remember that they
