No matter what the season of the year
may be fowls should not be exposed,
says the Farm and Fireside. If they
are strong and healthy they will with
stand many changes, and If well fed
and well guarded from the elements
will pass over the critical periods with
small loss. But no one owning valu-
able fowls will risk their safety by ex-
posure to the vicissitudes of the wealth
err Mt any season. Leg weakness comes
from exposure to severe cold
or continued dampness. There is sell
dom any remedy that touches this
weakness when once thoroughly estab-
lished. 1t more frequently occurs with
fowls that have not come to maturity
before the cold weather sets in. The
growth is at once retarded, the fowl
dwarfed, and the muscles and tendons
hardened. The fowl is then sure vic
tim for roup. Sometimes, If the wealth
err is dry and warm, or the fowls are
allowed dry, sunny cover under glass
during the day, it may be conquered.
They may be fed on strong food, such
as wheat and animal and vegetable ma

Last Wednesday morning Mrs. John
Stewart passed to her reward beyond
after lingering sickness with that
dread disease, consumption. Mrs.
Stuart represents that type of patient
sufferers whose reward is sacrifice and
contentment. She was loving help
full wife to him who now monrns for
her whom he loved and protected,
ever smiling through the mist of
trouble that hover over every life, and
helping him to welcome Joy and peace
and hope and to drive away sorrow
and trouble and dispair. His life is
nobler for her purity, better for her
patience, and kinder for her love. She
leaves four children to no longer feel
the touch of mothers fond caress,
the wisdom of her counsel or the
guidance of her thoughtful love.

Obituary..

Robert Sizer, after an illness of a few
days, passed to rest last Thursday at
his home, surrounded by relatives and
friends. The deceased was born at
Grimsby, England, January 10, 1910.
He immigrated to this country when
but ten years old, leaving his parents
and the home scenes of his boyhood to
try his fortune in America. He resid-
ed few years in Illinois, but has been
a resident of the state Of Iowa most of
the time. In 1861, at the outbreak of
the civil war, he was living in Jackson
county, Iowa, where he enlisted and
served as a member of the home guards
for a few months. In 1852 he again
enlisted in Co. A. oath Iowa Vol. Inf.
and was soon at the front, serving
under Gen. Banks, and Gen. Phil
Sheridan as he hurled his fleeing
columns back upon the advancing
rebels in the Shenandoah valley. He
marched and fought in the victorious
armies of Grant, as battle after battle
he forged the cement that bound the
gaping, bleeding wounds ola disrupted
and dismembered government After
three years of honorable service to his
country, when the Unlocking world
was weighing in the balance the tate
Of a republic, he was honorably dis
charged from the army. He returned
to his home county and on January 4,
1865, was united in marriage to Miss
Anna Davis Four children, two boys
and two girls, came to bless their
home.
Thus a patriot has gone to his re-
ward and noble, loving wife mourns
for one who was kind and true. and
the children weep at the bier of him
whose life was wrapped up in their
welfare. He came to Audubon county
in 1881, and by frugality, industry and
honesty built for himself home, and
gathered about him friends who deep
ly mourn his loss.
The funeral services were conducted
at the NJ. E. church, the Rev. r. w.

The cotton Outlook.

The Huston Post, an excel
lent authority on cotton, de-
clares that the growing crop
bids fair to command a high
price The supply Of the sta
pie now on hand in the United
States, it says, is 100000 bales,
and the supply in sight in all
the world is only 1,00S, 000bales
or million bales less than
were available for consumption
at this time last year. The
present supply is sufficient for
only four weeks consumption,
and never before in the history
Of cotton trade has the world
been so dependent on the grow
ing crop. With the market
bare at September LIST, and the
supply for the twelve months
following that date still on the
stalks, the situation as to prices
is mdeniably strong.
Nothing less than a crop of
Il, 100000 bales from this coun-
try, the Post adds, will meet
the worlds needs until the
next crop comes in, but such a
yield is not probable. The
present indications, the Post
asserts, are for a crop Of about
100000, bales. Such a crop
it thinks would be pretty sure
to command at least nine cents
a pound and might bring more.
The outlook is good, therefore
for a prosperous year for the
South. Cotton figures very
largely in our exports and a
good crop at high prices, will
help also to keep the balance of
trade in favor Of this country.
This is a conservative state
ment Of the cotton outlook from
a newspaper in the heart Of the
greatest cotton growing state
and qualified to speak. 1t pre-
sents a condition of affairs fill
ed with satisfa ction. -Birming-

her loved ones to pray for her to
