the following in regard to her de-
mise from the Des Moines News of
January 25th:
AS the years roll by the old sett-
lers of Iowa, are fast passing away.
Saturday, January %, occurred the
death of Mrs. Susanna, Boone, at
the age, of 81. Her husband,
cousin of Daniel Boone, was one of
the pioneers of Dallas county and
for him Bonneville was named.
In ls49 this brave pioneer left In
diana for the frontier. In those
early days Chicago, with it's tenn
ing thousands, was unknown and
DeS MOlnes was a swamp.
On well improved farm of 1000
acres still stands the log hut in
which she and her husband passed
the long and weary winters and en-
,dured the hardships of pioneer life;
steadily came the tread of civiliza-
ton; by thrift, economy and good
management they acquired possess
sion of one of the finest farms in
Dallas county. Since the. death of
her husband 35 years ago, this
venerable woman has had entire
management of this vast farm and
to the day of her death attended to
the duties in all departments of
farm work. Mrs. Boone was we'll
known to allth old merchants of
Des Moines and in Dallas county
and was loved and revered by all.
Although her constant aim was to
get money she was kind to the
poor, generous to her tenants and
gave largely to the Methodist
church of which she was an active
| member.

Safety in Buying Seeds.

There is no other way to measure the
value Of seed than by the value OF the
crop. A good crop simply cannot come
from poor seed. Second-rate seeds will
waste good land. good fertilizer, and
good labor. and the crop won't pay ex-
penses. Now, as the practical farmer
cannot afford to waste time testing seeds
to find out whether thoy are true to
name, sound and clean. it stands to rea-
son that the only safe way to buy seeds
is to seek the protection of name that
has stood for reliability in the past. The
great seed house of D. NJ. Ferry 4 Co.. Of
Detroit, Mich, has sold seeds all over the
United States and Canada for the last
forty-two years, and the steady growth
Of the business is sure indication that
Ferry seeds have given satisfaction.

guide for farmers and gardeners, con-
tanning much valuable information, IL
