Death of CT w Griffith.

Yesterday morning the Angel Of
Death summoned one of our best
known residents. G.. w. Griffith, to
the other shore. The end came peace
fully at the family home, PA Fifth
street, Mr.. Griffith sinking back on his
couch while in the act of dressing. and
in moment life was extinct He had
been in feeble health for year past
and of late had suffered much from
diabetes His daughters had paid him
loving care and attention during the
ebbing of his life but al without
avail death finally relieving him of
his earthly pains. The funeral will
be held from the home tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock, Rev. II. S. Foster.

enty-nine years ago and in 1910 emil
grated to this country, coming to this
city five years later after brief
residence at Utica. n. Y. He
conducted harnessmaking bust
ness until after the rebellion, when
he launched into the art of photo
graphy, in which he continued until
forced to retire two years AGO. AS q
photographer he was we'll known and
his place of business was a favorite
resort. During the xciting times in
the early history of the city, when the
railroad bonds were causing such a
SUR. Mr. Griffith took an active inter-
est in affairs and was a prominent
member of the Union league. He was
also interested in the temperance
movement and accomplished some eff
fective work along that line. Pos
sessing musical temperament and
tastes, he devoted considerable atten-
ton to the cultivation and advance
ment of both the vocal and instru-
mental br inches, and when in his
prime was counted among the leading
musicians Of the city. For MANY wears
he was the faithful organist of the NJ
f. church. Ia his daily intercourse
Mr.. Griffith was pleasant, kindly and
generous hearted, making friends with
all, and ever anxious to lend a helpir
hand to the needy. His wife preceded

ago. The following daughters are left
to mourn him: Mrs. Jane Davis, Mrs.

The new lines of railroad now in process
of construction by tie Chicago & North

affording opportunities to get in and grow
up with country that is sure to grow,
that are not likely to occur again.
The new lines penetrate the richest
regions in Westerit Iowa and Minnesota,
where there was ample room for a rail-

located and managed by the railway
company, are today offering rare chances

ENSlLAGE-FED COWS.
without Them Winter Dairy ing Can.
not be Made Success Any
where Nowadays.

Those who raise ensilage-fed herds
invariably have decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten-
ton entirely to dry fodder and grain.
But on the other hand, there are farm
ers who do not make the ensilaSe sue
cess because of lack of proper study of
economy in feeding or generally poor
management of the whole dairy farm.
The comparison of such man with
first-class dairyman who believed in dry
fodder and grain is not fair. There are
plenty of good farmers to-day making
success with herds that are fed en-
tirely on dry fodder. cornmeal, bran
and similar grains. They are too con-
servative to take up the silo, or they are
willing to let well enough alone. But
because they make a success in their
present work it does not follow that
they would not make even more profits
by adopting the silo. Let such progress
sive farmers give the silo all the care
and attention they give to their present
system of feeding, and if they fail they
might be justified in casting discredit
upon the silo.
1t is practical to raise all the ensilage
needed for feeding a dairy herd of al
most any size, and then if the silo is
properly filled the results will be more
than satisfactory. We are certainly
coming to the time when every dairy
farm of 90 or more cows will have it.
silo, and it will be an exception to the
rule not to find one on farm. IL is on
a par with our present systems of cold
storage for preserving food in the
cities for the human race. We find that
this not only adds 10 the pleasures of
eating, but it improves the health of the
nation TO have green things right
through the winter and summer
months. We should in the same way
consider the cows on whose health and
good flow of milk so many of us are de-
pendent. Winter dairying can never be
carried on as it should until the silo is
built and filed. New is The time to con-
slider and prepare for next winter if
the herd is expected to give the results
desired. There is no easier way to in
crease the winter supply of milk than
to have and feed plenty of ensilage.-E.

The Curing of Cheese.

At the New York state dairy meeting
Prof. II. II. Dean, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, said that cheese is
only about half made when on the cur
ing shelf. Curing is fermenting proc
ess, and the temptation is to hurry il
too much. He advised taking sufficient
time to ripen it properly, and this
could be done only by the control of
heat. He would locate the curing room
on the north side of the building, and
away from drains or sources of bad
odors. 1t should be entirely insulated.
He would construct the floors and walls
so as to have an air space all around IL,
and provide it with double window and
doors. The cost of building a room Of
this kind would be from $500 to $3.50, ac-
cording to size.

Clay Soil for Pears.

1t is universally agreed that heavy
clay soil is best for the pear. There are
various reasons for this, the principal
one being that clay soil is always rich
in mineral fertilizers, while a sandy or
gravelly soil is deficient in this kind Of
plant food. But the clay soil, though
rich in phosphates and potash, may not
have them in available form, and may
need a dressing in spring of these min
erals in available form. Trees on clay
may need dressings of available potash
and phosphate in the years when the
tree is bearing. On sandy soil the pear
tree always needs these manures. The
pear roots deeply, so that it is never
affected by droughts, and in clay soils
it doubtless draws mineral fertilizers
from the subsoil below where the roots
of grain and other crops usually grow.
1t is a great mistake to allow the tap
root of a pear tree to be cut off before
it is transplanted.-Am Guilt

NUTRITION IN FRUITS.

Pears are not as nutritious as many
other fruits.
In the chapter on fruit the apple is
accorded first place.
The cherry is tough and is considered
bad fruit.
Strawberries are excellent as a laxa
tive, but care must be taken that they
are not tainted.
Peaches are a source of disease unless
eaten a few hours after being plucked
for they soon become tainted.
Raspberries, blackberries, dewber.
ries, elderberries and blueberries diff.
fer from other fruit in that they are
astringent.
Grapes are of great value in some
diseases, but the statement that they
contain the same element as the blood
is nonsense.
The gooseberry has nothing to recon-
mend it. On the other hand, the null
berry is exceedingly wholesome, be-
cause of the potash it contains.-What
to Eat.
