How true it is that death is no respec
tor of personl The sad news OF tn
drowning of one of our brightest an'
much beloved boys, Maurice Bratton
spread through the town Monday. even
ing, and cast shadow of sorrow IN the
hearts of all who knew him, and the write
could only make feeble attempt to de
scribe the sympathy expressed for Mr
and Mrs. John B. Bratton, the parents o.
the unfortunate youth.
In company with large number OF
his companions, he had gone to SILVER
Lake after school hours, where skating
was INDUCED in for more than an hour
before the sad accident occurred.
! Unfortunately the boys were too ven
turesome, and got on the ice opposite
| "Willits' Point" place where severe
weather is required to close the pond Tor
skating. Warren Ellicott and Maurice
Bratton were leading the other boys and
got into an air-hole where the water was
not less than sixteen feet deep. BY
quickly stepping, or by circling around,
all the boys escaped but the two named.
The bows in the water made every effort
they could toget on the firmice, but it broke
with their weight at each attempt. Their
young companions could not reach them,
but one of them skate d off to the mill
for a rope, while the others tried by en-
couraging words to stimulate the almost
exhausted boy to hold out until help ar
rived. But his strength failed and he
sank out of sight. His struggles in the
water were witnessed by several of his
companions, but they could not render
him assistance
EIlicott, managed to pull himself
out and in a dazed and almost frozen
state, was taken to the residence of Mr.. |
James II. Smith, where he received the |
best of attention by Mrs. Smith, who |
later brought him to his home, to Mrs.
Virginia Massey's, at this time he looked
none the worse from his trying exper-
ience
The body was recovered at s. As o'clock,
two boats being in the hotel at the time,
beverley and Dr. G. G. Green; the other
Ivy Norman Crouch, w. B. Hates and
Harry Hall. Their efforts were soon re-
warded, the spot being located by finding
his cap on the edge of the hole. Several
times the body was struck by the Crap
ping men, until Mr. Peverley got a firm
hold, and Maurie was drawn aboard the
boat. The remains were brought to his
parents residence and the Coroner noti-
fed. The coroner authorized Squire
Reynolds to hold an inquest, which was
lone on Tuesday morning. The jury was
rs follows: w. B. Biggs. foreman; Cyrus
ratman, w. L. Tatman, W.F. Shallcross,
James Montgomery, R. L. Naudain, w.
Il. Johnson and P. L. McWhorter The
ury heard the testimony of number of
and rendered verdict of acci-
lental drowning

BRINGING UP L v

20 Lay the Foundation OF strong,
Healthy Cows.

When I find a calf dropped I do
not let it suck the COW once. I feed
it milk fresh from the mother until
it is five days old, and then 1 give
It four quarts of milk at a feed-more
or less, according to its size-and
warmed to the temperature of new
milk, Dr. 80 degrees. I teach it to
drink by putting two fingers in it's
mouth, separated a trife, so that the
milk may be drawn up easily, for
otherwise the little creature would
hold its tongue so tightly to the pal
CITE that no milk could be sucked up
at all. After one of these lessons, it
will sometimes drink fairly well, and
almost always after the second or
third. If it does not, I do not, as
a rule, consider it worth raising.
Thus started, 1 increase, with the
growth Of the calf, the quantity of
milk, and in a f~ortnight's time l feed
that which is not SKINNED until 10
hours old. The calf then having at
.tained the age of about eight weeks,
I give it a handful of crushed oats or
a mixture of corn meal and bran, and
augment the ration gradually as the
animal grows and needs it, Good,
btrong, healthy, sleek-looking calves
are the result, calves that readily
bring five and six dollars apiece when
only three months old. If part of
them should be retained, however, the
qmilk feeding is kept up until they are
sslS months old, In this way a waste
product is utilized for economically
laying the foundation of strong cows,
milk being the very best food for de-
veloping the bone and muscle and the
full growth of the vital organs, that
a young calf can haVe.-Fred o. Sib-
ley, In Epitomist.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Do you realize that the dairyman
who can get rs cents per pound for his
butter the year around need never fear
hard times?
Some dairymen complain that they
have no time in which to read practical
matter relating to improved methods
of carrying on their business.
Extra methooz o. cleanliness are re-
quiredt to product natural, wholesome
favored milk from stable-confned
COWS. Are your milk and butter abso-
lutely faultless in this direction2
Did you ever take a pencil and paper
and spend half an hour in figuring
whether you were putting more dollars
in labor into your dairy than you were
taking out in cash? The sequel might
surprise you very much.
Because you own COWS do you con-
slider yourself a dairyman2 You are not
a dairyman in the true n of the
word unless your cows are making you
financially bettero off at the end of every
year. Are they doing it2-George j
Newell, in Rural World.

WAITED FOR ONE CENT.
Embarrassment OF an Absent-NTinded
Purchaser at a Ninety-Nine
Cent Store

"I never felt so cheap in all my life, said
Short, relates the Pittsburgh News, "as l
did one day in a department store. /
bought a book for so cents and while / was
waiting for it a young woman, whose good
opinion l valued, came up and We began
to talk. The book was wrapped up and
handed me by the girl at the eouRtgE and
after short while the young Woman asked.
'Are you waiting for youpRchange?"
Il replied that I was, buE. IN fact. hadn't
been thinking Of it, I Wanted to talk to her
and made thGt,an excise for staying. After
the usuaLdelay, when it had passed entirely
out OF my mind, the girl at the book counter
stepped up and said:
Here's your change, sir
"And she held a bright new cent in her
open hand so that the other girl saw it. I
felt a chill at once and just because it ap.
peared to the young woman that l had been
waiting all that time for a cent. l got a
reputation for closefstedness that is still
sticking to me-"

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.


To skim a sauce the expert cook win
draw the saucepan to the side of the
Gre to stop the boiling, and add a tea
spoonful Of cold water, which prompt
~ auses the grease to rise.
A few drops Of alcohol mixed with a
little olive oil in the proportion Of two
and one-hGlf parts Of oil to a half part
of alcohol is a better mixture with
which to rub polished tables than the
plain oil. The alcohol cuts and takes
of any grease, dust or trifing stain.
A good way is never to apply a liquid
odor directly to an article of clothing,
but keep sachet bags everywhere in the
wardrobe. BY this means every article
Of clothing has a faint aroma, too sub
tie to be defined. Some women even
make tiny sachets to sew on the
sleeves at the underarm seam.
For a tasty, delicate relish that may
be quickly prepared nothing is nicer
than sardines on toast. Drain off the
oil, scrape off the skin and split them.
Lay on a broiler upon a sheet of writ
ing paper, When they are Drowned
put them on strips Of toast which have
been buttered, and squeeze over them a
few drops of lemon juice.
An excellent substitute for plum pud-
ding is made as follows: One cupfuI of
r~aisins, two cupfuls Of bread crumbs,
one pint of milk, butter the size of an
egg, one egg, teaspoonful Of cinnamon,
one-haH cup Of molasses. Place in a
baking dish and bake in a slow oven
for about an hour, or until firm.
Serve hot with the usual plum-pudding
sauce.
For rhubarb jelly the stalks are cut
and stewed gently until tender. To a
quart of rhubarb a pint of sugar and
a little more than a half-box Of gela-
tine is allowed. Soak the gelatine in a
little cold water and add the rhubarb
while the latter is warm, rubbing the
mixture through a sieve, pour into a
mould and serve with whipped cream.
While the stalks are young and tender,
as they are at present, the rhubarh
need not be peeled.

WOULDN'T DRINK MILK.
story Of a Calf That Grew Up ON wa
ter and Graua and Developed
Into a Good Cow.


We once raised a calf that never
learned to drink milk, writes a CON
tributor to National stockman and
Farmer. It was the only case Of the
sort l ever heard of and we naturally
supposed that it would die, for by no
possible means could it be taught to
drink any milk, more than just to taste
Of it. It grew very thin, even before
we gave it up, but as nobody wanted.
the Job of killing it, we turned it into
the field and let it take its chances.
After that it lived somehow, on gras
and water, and it did not get any too
much of either, for we had the bad
habit Of turning calves into a sort of
clearing that had neither water nor
feed in much quantity, expecting the
calves to live mainly on milk. The
calf that would not drink milk seemed
to fairly dry and shrivel up till it was
a sort of walking shadow, but it made
a great fight for life and came out in
the fall quite an animal, so that it
wintered with the other stock and be-
gan the second year about even. It
was a heifeT and as a COW developed
the ordinary milking qualities of the
rest of the herd, none the worse, ap-
parently, for its experience. Nobody
had any idea why it disliked milk. /
cannot remember whether it began by
sucking the mother or not, but up
pose that it did, as it was common to
allow the calf to remain with the COW
till the milk was fit to use.
My experience is that all possible
effort to get calves to eating solid food
early is valuable. We take to late
summer or fall calves as we watch
them more, These a be taught to
eat grass early, and as it does not
physic them as the o~ver-succulent
spring growth does, they can eat as
much as they will without injury.

Rnne for Cow Paature.

Rape makes excellent COW pasture,
but you must be careful about letting
the COWS eat too much at first, and
especially when the rape is wet, writes
q contributor to Michigan Farmer, 1t
is as bad, if not worse, than rank
clover. It will cause hoven or bloat,
II the COWS are turned in for a short
time only at first, until they become
accustomed to the feed, there is usual
" but little danger. But I would not
turn them in when the rape is wet
with dew or rain, even though they
were accustomed to it, unless the
plant is fed down so close that they
cannot fill themselves quickly.

CREAMERY
One of the BiggeSt Obstacles En-
COuntered Is Dishonesty Among
Those Supplying Milk.

One of the hard things that the man
ager of a creamery or cheese factory
has to contend with is dishonesty
among those that supply milk. Where
milk is purchased by the hundred
pounds this condition is particularly
acute, and it even exists in consider
able measure where the milk is pur-
chased by the test. One ~cheesemaker
tells of the trouble he has with his
patrons that bring poor milk. He says
that one man continually brought milk
so near the souring point that it was
sometimes impossible to use it, and
once or twice it was returned. But the
man would always come back smiling
the next day and assert that the mana
ger was wrong in sending back the
milk-that it ReptePerfectly for a long
time afterward. One day the milk
brought was SO near solr that Oh man
ager thought it necessary to refuBe it.
He thought, however, that he wouldbe
sure that this milk soured, so he slyfy
slipped into the cans enough rennet to
make the milk thick in a short time.
The following morning the farmer was
back with a new lot of milk, but de-
clared that the milk of the preceding
day kept over night, and that some of
it was used for making custard the
next day. Of course, it was not policy
for the manager to give away the fact
that he knew the man was lying, or
that he had put rennet in the milk. It
illustrates one Of the biggest obstacles
in the way Of getting clean milk
