parted. All her tenderness and tol-
erance were remembered. all her sim
Pile, affectionate, almost humble ways.
And with her death rumors of her for
mer greatness began to reach the little
town. Then it was realized what a ce-
lebrity had been entertained unknow-
ingly all those quiet years.
So in gratitude for the joy she had
given them and for the good will she
had shown all her life among them
they gave her public funeral. The
sons and daughters of Puritans went,
and the French people who had moved
down from the north, and the old peo-
pie, forgetting ancient prejudices.
They buried her on high hill overlook
ing the sea. 1t was bleak there, and
there was only plain white cross to
mark her resting place. Nothing could
have been more out of keeping with the
Fifille Beautencourt of the old days,
she who had been compacted Of emo
ton and laughter, Of color and music
and Joy. But the people who laid her
there loved her WELL and the story
they told of her life among them was
the prettlest Of all the stories that were
told Of the old port.-Chicago Tribune.

MAXIMS FOR MIXERS.
Some of Them Are Old, Others View,
Hut All of Them Are worthy of
serious Confederation.

The hands of the mixers should be
clean and as soft as possible. To bring
this about wash them in warm water
begin work.
Have a name for every COW, and call
her by that name, spoken in an easy
conversational but firm voice.
When cows come from pasture the
boss COW will lead and the others will
follow. Milk the boss COW first and so
on down to the underling.
Follow the same rule when cows are
stabbed, not only in milking, but in
feeding.
Brush off the udder dry. and follow
this up with a damp cloth. Do not wash
the udder with cloth and water unless
there is accumulated dirt which will
not yield to the first kind of cleans
ing.
Never feed the cows while milking.
If they are hungry, feed before milk
ing; otherwise. feed after the milking
is done. The cows will wrestle with their
mess, and. ir~ uneasy. they will step,
stop the flow of milk and perhaps kick
over the pail.
1t is best to have solid seat when
milking. A stool with only single
foot is unsafe, because, if the animal
stirs at all, in order to balance him
self the mixer will use the teat for a
support.
BY putting his hand softly on the
hip of the COW. she will learn to put
back her foot. Then take hold of the
hind teat and then take the near front
one, which gives most room for both
hands.
Milk as fast as possible, without
shocking or irritating the animal. The
process is agreeable to the COW. and
she will stand still until the udder is
relieved.
Never milk with thumb and finger:
il is slower work and will incline the
COW to hold back the flow of milk, and
thus hasten her going dry. Strippin 6
is not allowed in good dairying.
Never wet fingers or hand in the
milk; it is a nasty habit and ought not
to be tolerated or practiced.
Never converse with other mixers
If there are any. The noise made by
the milk will hinder you from under
standing and you will have to stop and
explain. etc, all of which is contrary
to good work. The humming of a soft
! tune to the rhythm of the milking is
allowable, yes, more than that. desir-
able, because the cows like it; at least
most of them do.
Milch cows and fattening stock
should never be driven out of an easy
walk: you have no use for a dog, en-
cept possibly trained Scotch collie
Such dog will bring the COWS home
as quietly and as regularly as boy
and generally make less fuss. The
cows soon learn when the dog comes
that they must start for the yard, and
the gate being open. they will go in
and generally find particular place fol
rest and for the milkino.-Charles w
! Murtfeldt. in ST. Louis Republic.

Obituary.

Glayds Wright was born at Lynch
burg, Ohio, August 80, 1897. and died
at Rainsboro, February Sd, 1900. aged
, years, 5'months and 4days. She was
of a very kind disposition and made
friends with all she met. She loved
little Carl dearly and would do her
best to amuse him. She would try to
repeat our conversation and could
make her thoughts easily understood.
She took great delight in bringing us
whatever we asked for, and in trying
to do whatever we were doing. We
noticed for the past two or three
weeks that her mind seemed to devel-
op at very rapid rate. Little did we
think as we sat down to supper on Fri
day evening that it was indeed the
last supper, that the great doors were
soon to swing outward opening into
the shadows: that the bright little
spirit was so soon to take its flight
back to the God who gave. Yet, while
we shall miss the sweet association
of our darling, we bow to the will of
God, trusting that some sweet day
bye and bye we Wy join her in that
summerland of Love-never more to
to know the pangs of separation.

LARGE LOADS A SAVING.


Much time is lost by drawing small
loads. Many times have seen farmers
going to town with a load of wheat of
only 80 or 40 bushels. l can remember
when a boy we had to draw our wheat
and oats to market distance of 16
miles. Even on good roads we consid-
cred 80 bushels of wheat and 60 bushels
of oats good load Now we draw so
bushels of wheat. and don't consider it
any too much. Where there is large
quantity of stuff to market, a third
horse pays well. You can then put on
100 bushels of wheat and 200 bushels of
of oats. One man can do the work, an
extra trip is saved, and the third horse
does nothing but draw grain. 1t will
take one horse to draw the wagon, and
the other two horses to draw grain.
A great many loads of logs and bolts
are drawn past our house every day in
the winter time. 1t is interesting to
notice the difference in the size of
loads. Some, with a good team and a
long distance to haul, will have on a
couple of small logs. while neighbor
with no better team will pile on ten or
twelve logs as large. What lot of
time is wasted here! Frequently large
loading is overdone, but more frequent
ly small loading is overdone.
One of the handiest things we have
on our farm is large fiat rack, ~ feet
wide and 16 feet long, with a tight,
smooth floor laid over it. We use this
on our low wheeled, wide-tire wagon.
1t stays on all the time, and we use it
for nearly everything. 1t has two by
three strip nailed around the outer
edge to keep loads from slipping off.
1t is the best thing for drawing in hay
or grain that l ever saw. We can put
on some monstrous loads of hay, and it
is no trouble to put on 60 dozen of
wheat, or all that large team can
handle. 1t looks like a fiat car while
empty, and the old-fashioned rack
looks like toy beside it. Large loads
of hay pay well. They save extra drives
to and from the field; besides, it does
not take any longer to clean up the bot.
tom of the load from a large one than
it does from small one. So time is
saved in two ways here. Saving time
means lots of money sometimes in
drawing hay. 1t may mean the saving
of large quantities from being spoiled
by getting wet. / have often wished
for an extra day to finish up the hay
Had l used large loads, I might have
saved good deal from getting wet.
These things mean business to every
farmer. The time is here when the
farmer must use more business in his
business.-I. N. Cowdrey, in Country
Gentleman,

Good Work of n Woman n,

A year or two ago a vast amount of
practical good-roads work was done in
Missouri by forming country organiza-
tions, and the person chiefly instrument
tai in forming them was Il woman
Miss Rella C. Harber. That lady trav-
eled through the state, and in the
course of year organized 66 associa-
tions. An interstate road convention
was subsequently, held in St. Louis, and
there was formed an "Interstate Good
Roads and Public-Improvement associ-
ation," and Miss Haber was made its
secretary and organizer. She has this
year been engaged in similar work in
Illinois, dividing the state into "good-
roads districts" each having a large
city as a center, and holding conven-
tions in these cities, as basis of build
ing up healthy good-roads sentiment,
A similar plan might be profitably tried
in other states.

In MemOriam.

William C. Edwards died January
%, 1900. Far from the home where
boyhood and manhood were spent, out
in a land where none but strangers
met him in his daily walks, with only
his immediate family to cheer him
and minister to him in his last illness,
the friend whom we have known
through many years and esteemed
and loved for his many virtues and
noble traits of character, has finished
the sturgle, yielded up his life and
passed out into the great beyond. For
longer than he himself had suspected,
insidions disease had been busy sap
ping his vital powers, and slowly but
surely bringing him face to face with
the grim enemy from whom none may
ever hope to turn. And now the icy
finger has touched his heart, his noble,
generous, tender heart and stilled all
its loving impulses in the cold white
sleep for all time. Many are the
hearts now saddened around the old
home where his life's best years were
spent, because of his going out. For
the friends who knew him best loved
him most because of the brighter,
happier side of character revealed to
them. In the home circle, in the
business walks of life, around the
camp-fires with comrades who gather
ed in answer to their country's call in
the hour of peril, wheresOever he
went his genial nature, his unseliish
thought and quick warm sympathy,
endeared him to al alike.
In the presence of the great mystery
we stand with aching hearts and rev.
erent mien, for we known that he has
gone from among us, that his CHEEKY
voice and kindley smile will greet us
no more forever. Yet while we
mourn we still are glad to know that
he was not afraid to die. Good and
noble hearted in life, he was brave in
the face of death and both willing and
ready to go. And now that he is gone
VIC iSdiiLS INV Soou "ttS hiuSh VI his
life's work. For children rise up and
call him blessed, and in their young
lives bear eloquent testimony to the
successful effort and wholesome in
fluence brought to bear upon their un-
folding manhood and womanhood by a
loving solicitous, tender hearted
father. Surely has he guided their
footsteps in paths of right living and
thereby left a rich legacy to the com
munity in which they dwell. And the
home that he has left is now made
desolate, and wife and children are
bowed in grief because the husband
and father will come no more to com
fort them.

THY WILL BE DONE.

"Thy Will be DONE" child's voice said.
As bending low at mothers knee
She lisped the prayer of infancy.
Those words so soft and sweet to hear.
All meaningless fell on her ear;
Her own strong will yet sleeping lay,
Like serpent meath the flowers of May.
Thy will be DONE" maiden prayed,
With gentle love her heart was stirred.
And yet she faltered on that word.
The worlds path shone with dazzling light;
The path of duty seemed less bright;
Conflicting doubts her faith o'ercast,
Oh! could she trust Him to the last2
Thy will be done," a woman prayed.
She stood beside lowly grave,
And saw the long grass DER 1t wave.
With radiant face and steadfast eyes
She looked beyond the distant skies;
With faith triumphant, vict'ry won,
Her heart cried out: THY will be DONE"

file Beautencourt went her way with
out untoward demonstration of any

black. she knelt at early mass at the
church upon the hill-the church with
the holy cross upon its steeple. She
invited the neighbors to dine with her
on that day and walked abroad in the
afternoon with little children, or read

early, directed her small domestic af-

unpretentious charities she had started.
One was a small day nursery for the
children of the women who worked in
the fish packing houses. Another was
a home for the widows of sailors. An
other was circulating public library

slightly beveled surface, as at the
right in the same picture. The former
condition comes from grinding axes,
scythes, machine knives, ETC., with
their edges lengthwise Of the stone in
stead of across it. This cannot be
helped in grinding some tools. But
when the stone does assume this shape,
making IL impossible to grind a chisel
or any fat-edged tool decently, it is a
good time to get spade-spades are
usually dull-and hold it on the stone
until it is sharp, when the irregular
tiles of the surface of the stone
will have disappeared. A grindstone,
by the way, should never be left ex-
posed to the sun. The weight of the
handle will always cause one portion of
the stone to remain uppermost. and
this, from exposure, will assume diff
ferent degree of hardness from the

The cooperative dairy in Minnesota,
Litchtield district, is an encouraging
venture. Even the conservative farm
ers admit that it is a good thing. A
number of farmers living along the
same road take turns carrying the
milk for each other. Immediately
the milk is weighed, sample tested.
and check given showing weight, which
entities the farmer to a certain weight
of skim-milk and buttermilk. He can
take this back with him, no long wait
is involved. They get the pay for the
cream later. The dairying has largely
increased, thus enabling the farmers to
secure more fertilizing for their land.
They get better prices, and the value of
land also has almost doubled. to say
nothing of the saving in labor and care
to the farmers wives.

There was a time, and that not many
years ago, when ice was an almost
unknown quantity in farmers homes
in the summer, but the increased in

and ice has come to be a necessity on
all farms where butter is made in any

Cabbage for Laying Hens.

Cabbage appears to be the best vege-
table food for laying hens in winter.
Carefully conducted experiments have
clearly demonstrated that it is superit r
to cut clover. The best way TO feed the
cabbage is to suspend ii by cord from
the ceiling of the poultry house and let
the hens pick it to pieces. II is often
recommended to place it high enough
above the floor to compel the hens to
jump up foot OF more in order to reach
ii, but we should prefer to place it at a
convenient height for the hens and pro-
vide other ways for giving them ex-
ercise. - Farmers Voice.
