Harrison of Rock Hill, Thos. P. Cothran,
ESQ.,, Miss Hanna Perrin, Mrs. ]. s. Cothran
Of ofGreenville, Mrs. Harrison Of Milway, Thos
B. Lee, Miss Lee of Greenwood.
A great multitude Of sorrowing friends and
kindred assembled on this sad occasion and
the air was laden with the grief Of all. One
notable absence, however, was that OF Mrs
Tusten, mother OF the deceased, who had sc
long and 90 tenderly watched over her
daughter, that physical exertion. together
with anxiety Of mind and heart. laid her on
q sick bed. Several days ago her strength
was so exhausted that she was compelled TO
lie down, and she has not since been able to
rise, even when the form Of her beloved and
devoted daughter was to be laid to rest
Mrs. Harrison's death wss indeed sad one
She was young and handsome, bright and
cheerful. Loving and beloved, she was the
queen ofa happy household-the very heart,
idol OF loving husband, and the centre /
figure in large circle OF devoted kindred. In
her long.continued illness every heart in this
community was drawn to her, and In her be.
half many q fervent prayer went to the
Throne OF Grace. She fingered 80 long, that
even after her life had been despaired Of
hope revived, and many heart said that
after so brave struggle she surely would get

an important influence on the teeth. Carries,

the water is ''hard" owing to the presence
of chalk and magnesium salts. The hard

The package In which it is best to
send butter from the States in order
to secure favor In British markets Is
a subject of investigation by the de-
partment of agriculture. II. E. Al
word believes that IL reputation can
be won for certain butter, or line of
buffers, it will eventually be possible
to send American butter to British
buyers in the orthodox American
creamery tub and suffer no loss by
reason of using this package.
Small family packages of butter for
delivery unbroken and one pound and
one-half pound bricks or prints were
tried, but found to be regarded as an
innovation. Buyers at London and
Manchester do not yet want butter in
these forms, although every piece or
package is closely wrapped and pro-
tected all the way from maker to
consumer The latter prefers to see
the quantity desired cut from the big
lump which stands on the retailers
counter for hours, exposed to dust, flies
and the impurities of air.

The Cream Separator.

In all other branches of farming we
use the most approved machinery, but
the Swimming of milk is largely done in
the same way it was hundreds Of years
ago, and we suffer heavy loss thereby.
l can speak for the cream separator,
as | am using one on my place, says
an Illinois farmer. 1t takes all the
cream out of the milk when yet In its
natural warmth. 1t enables one to
feed the skinned milk in its most ia
vorable condition to his stock. By TAX
ing all the impurity out of the milk il
renders the milk as well as the cream
and butter made out of the same a
perfectly healthy food for the human
family and for live stock. 1t raises
the keeping quality of the butter to a
high degree. and 1t reduces the work
Of the farm dairy In a great measure.
Butter made out of separator cream
commands the highest market price
everywhere. Besides the cost of a
milkhouse can be saved. the erection
of one coming higher than the price Of
a separator.

SLIDING THE SUGAR BEET.
II Carefully Watched, Beets Will
Keep For Some Time In Kicks.


Keep For Some Time In Kicks.
1t is the custom In some localities to
haul sugar beets to the factory Il pos
slble whep harvested, and IL IL is not
possible TO do this they are gathered
| and placed il long ricks or piles on the
surface of the ground. The base of
these ricks or piles is from to 31a feet,
with height of 3 to feet, tapering to-
ward the top. Along each side of these
ricks several burrows are run with Q
stirring pillow In order to loosen the
dirt. The ricks are then completely
covered with this dirt by the aid of
shovels
This covering is put on to the depth
of about six inches, occasionally air
spaces or yentilators being left on the
tops of the ricks, which are usually
made by the use of thing or small elon-
gated wooden boxes or simply straw,
the purpose being to prevent fermenta-
ton.
Storing the beets in this way Is call
ed SLIDING, and the ricks or piles are
called silos. These silos are closely
watched, i'll order that no heating may
occur and cause fermentation. which
lessons the sugar content OF the beet,
and they are opened occasionally for
this purpose.
1t is the aim of the grower, as al
ready stated, to get his beets to the
factory as soon as possible, but this
will depend on This turn"
In case he is delayed in this way I'M
til cold weather comes on, these silos
are covered with straw manure, straw
or something of that sort, and then an
additional amount is thrown ON the
straw covering.
In this way 1t has been found that
the beets will keep in very good condi-
ton until the last of January'if neces-
sary.

Ventilation.

As the season of winter approaches the
subject of the ventilation OF the stock
quarters becomes timely. The health o.
the stock is always first in order in al
questions of care. Every body knows
that pure air Is the first requisite TO health
with the domestic animals as with the
family. tuberculosis is still abroad ir
some measure among our cattle. and nc
owntr has any assurance for any length o.
time that his herd is exempt from it
Though this disease according to --latest
knowledge is not transmissble to the
human race, yet no farmer wants diseased
animals in his herd. Pure air. with sun.
shine. is The best known protection against
this as well as other diseases Hence the
matter Of ventilation of stock quarters dur
ing confinement in winter is quite as i'm
portant as tbat of shelter.
In the discussion of methods of ven
tilation by scientific authorities much has
been said about the number of cubic feet
Of air space that should be allotted to an
animal. So, too,in the construction oil
stable room for stock this has been a
prolific subject Of dicussion. Sanatarians
and health Ulcers ali have their hobbies
in this matter and some have been ridden
in the a ,sence of d, finite knowledge. for
much more than their worth Authorities
{ p vary from 800 10 900 cubic feet as the
space necessary to the health of an
ordinary COW.
1t should not however, be overlooked
that where animals ars confined substan-
TALLY all the time in closed quarters it
matters little whether the space allowed
be large or small. II is only question oil
little mere time when the air OF the large
space wi become foul as well as with the
smaller. The larger space, therefore, fails
10 meet the case. 1t is a change of air
that is called for, not whether the space
be geo or 500 feet. The contaminated
air must pass off and fresh, pure air be
admitted to take its place. This alone
will sustain the health of the animals con-
fued therein. This is what is meant by
ventilation. This is what every stock
owner should provide if he would carry
his stock healthy and strong through the
confnt ment of winter. Pure air is OF
more lmportar ce to the health of the
animals than warm quarter. Too many
farmers have closed up the quarters in
which their stock is housed without pro-
viding this net ded change of air Maine
