Merely Landmarks.

Farmers who farm as their fathers
did are merely landmarks to measure
the advancement made in recent years.
That there has been great progress
made in all departments of agricul-
tural and horticultural work, inc1ud-
ing live stock of all kinds, farm
sanitation, and the adaptation of
means to ends is a conspicuous fact.
When we see a farm devoted to corn,
cotton and sweet potatoes, the well,
with bucket and windlass 100 yards
from the house, and the kitchen and
eating place half that distances; the
barn on one side of the lane and the
cow-lot on the other; the wood pile
in front and a little to the right of
the dwelling; with draw-bars instead
of gates at every passway for We
hicles, with a few scrub cattle, horses,
hogs and fowls to complete the land
scape, we know that the genius of
progress has not called at this farm,
or, if she did, was not invited to stop
over-FarIn and Ranch.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Butter that is covered with salt
crystals is not desirable.
The large udder doesn't always give
assurance of a heavy mixer.
If the friction is too violent, the
butter is produced speedily and is de-
fcient in quality.
The flow of milk should be main
tanned as uniform is possible while
The COW is in milk.
Cream will make better butter
when it rises in cold air than when it
rises in cold water.
No matter how good the COWS in the
nerd the bull should be good enough
to improve the progeny.
In making good butter quite as
many difficulties lie in the care of the
milk as in the mode of c~hurning.
To rush cows into the stable from
the pasture night or morning, is to
excite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to a feverish point,
quickly undermining its quality.
The Importance of producing on the
farm butter of the highest excellence,
fit to compete with the creamery
product. seems to be often disregard
ed, or perhaps the undertaking is con-
Eidered too difficult of attainment.
This is largely through lack of knowl-
edge of details.

Getting Rid of MILK Germs.

We see that some eastern man thinks
he has found a way of getting rid of
all kinds of bacteria in milk. His plan
is simply to freeze it, and he fondly
imagines that the germs of disease and
of every kind of ferment are to be
thus exterminated. If the gentleman
will look the matter up he will find
that very severe tests have been made
in the way of freezing germs to death,
but without much result. True, a good
many germs r destroyed, but they
are for the most part those in which
we have no interest, being harmless.
The disease germs are those for which
we care most, and they are the hardest
to exterminate. Heat is about the only
agent that will touch most of them

THE SADDESI Day Of ALL.
The Final Public Tribute to the Re-
mains of William Mckinley
at Canton.
4 GRaHDLY IMPOslsG DEMONSTRATION.
Ane services in the Heavily Grapes
Chureh Simple, But Solemn and
impressive, Conducted by Clergy
men of Various Denominations i'm
the City.

Canton, o., Sept. 19.-With majestic
solemnity, surrounded by his country
men mi his townspeople, in the pres
ence of the president of the United
states, the cabinet, justices of the
United States supreme court, senator's
n representatives in congress, the
of the military and naval estab-
hshments, the governors of states and
a great concourse of people who had
known and loved him, all that is NOR
tai Of h third president to fall by
an assassin's bullet, was committed
to n grave. 1t was a spectacle of
mournful grandeur.
Canton ceased to be a town, and
swelled to the proportions OF a great
city. From every city and hamlet in
Ohio, from the remote corners of the
south, and from the east and west,
the human tide flowed into the town
until 100000 people were within it's
gates, here to pay their last tribute
to the fallen chief.
The final scenes at the First Meth
odist church, where the funeral serv-
ice was held, and at the beautiful
Westlawn cemetery, where the body
was consigned to a vault, were simple
n impressive.
The service at the church consisted
of a brief grafton, prayers by the min
listers of three denominations, and
singing by a quartette. The body was
then taken to Westlawn cemetery,
and placed in a receiving vault, pend
ing the time when it will be finally
laid to rest beside the dead children
who were buried years ago.
The funeral procession was very
imposing and included not only the
representatives of the army and navy
of the United States, but the entire
military strength of the State of Ohio
and hundreds of civic, fraternal and
other organizations. 1t was two miles
long.
One of the most pathetic features
of the day was the absence of Mrs.
Mckinley from the funeral services
at the church and cemetery when the
body of her husband was laid to rest.
Since the first shock of the shooting,
then the death, and through the Or
deal of state ceremonies, she had
borne up bravely. But there was a
limit to human endurance, and when
to-day came it found her too weak
to pass through the trials of the final
ceremonies. Through the open door
of her room. she heard the prayer of
the minister as the body was borne
out of the house. After hat DR..
Rixey remained close by her side, and
although the full force of the calami-
ty mad come upon her, it was believed
by tFose about her that there was a
providential mercy in her tears, as
they gave some relief to the anguish
of the heart within.
AT sever o'clock tonight, President
Rooseveut and the members of the
cabinet started back to Washington.

E.u in the Berry Patch.

Charles Hirschinger tells the Farm
ers' Review hat the best way to cut
the surplus runners from strawberry
plants is TO use a plow with a rolling
.oulter. He goes over his strawberry
fields several times after the plants
have ceased to fruit, each time cutting
off the and eultivating the
ground between the rows of straw
berry plants. Keeping the plants well
cultivated in the fall helps them to
form large root systems and insures
strong plants in the spring. The fail
growth and development has very
much to do with the power to bear a
Eop the following year.

to Do Honor to Virtue.
Canton, o., Sept. 20.-Never before
on this continent has such a floral
display been seer at any public oc-
casion as that in Westlawn cemetery
lined with the rarest and costliest
flowers, a multitude of floral pieces
was spread on the ground before the
door of the vault, and for 100 feet to
the right and left of the doorway and
for half as many feet to the rear
of a line passing through the front
wall it was impossible to tread, SO
thickly did the tributes lie.
Nearly every country on both heml-
spheres was represented by an offer
ing. The number of those from the
United States was almost past count
ing. They came from every state in
the Union, and there is scarcely a man
in public life whose tribute of respect
for the virtues of VIM. Mckinley did
not lie beside his coffined remains.
The inside of the vault was literal
ly a mass of roses and orchids when
the casket was carried into it, and
the outside walls were weIlnigh hid
den beneath the profusion of flowers
hung upon them. Above the doorway
hung an enormous wreath of dark
green Calix leaves, and over the right
corne of the vault was a similar
wreath, the leaves being a deep red.
In a corresponding position on the
other side was hung a wreath of ivy.
Standing a short distance from the
vault to the south was a small cradle
covered entirely with white and pur-
pie asters. On its sides were worked
in purple immortelles the word
miles," This was said to be the
cradle in which President Mckinley
had been rocked during his infancy
in Niles, o., and special instructions
came with it hat it should be guard
ed with great are and returned safe
ly to Niles, where it is to be pre-
served.

ADIsTINGUIsHED MISSIONARY

Washington, Ind, Sept. 23rd.-There
is at present living at log E. 18th street,
in this city, a most remarkable man.
He is Rev. C. II. Thompson, and he
came to Washington from Little York,
Ind, a short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as a
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure and the
drinking of so much bad water
brought OF Diabetes, and at Wagner,

To secure a home market for fruits

the best fruit, of the best varieties
that can be had, pick and handle the
same with the greatest care, grade and
pack honestly in new, clean baskets
or packages and place it on the mar
ket while it is fresh. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that the home
market has it's limitations and in an
exclusive fruit district other markets
must be sought. The same rules in re-
gard to picking and packing hold good
in any case, and it is only by fair deal

Good Roads would Help.

Tt has been shown, according to re-
port of the industrial commission, that
the average haul of the American
farmer in getting his produce to mar
ket, OF to the nearest shipping station,
is IL miles. The average cost per ton
for hauling yer the common country
roads is IS cents per ton per mile, or
three dollars per ton for a 12-mile haul.
Careful estimates also place the total
tons hauled at $685. 600, 900 per year and
the average haul at IL miles, making
the total cost of getting the surplus
products of the farm to the local mar
ket or the railroad 5000. 600. 900. This
figure is greater than the operating ex.
penses of all the railroads in the Unit

Simple, But Impressive Services at

Canton, o., Sept. 19.-The services
in the church were simple. They be-

Lutheran church of Canton, and that
portion of the fifteenth chapter of
First Corinthians included between
the forty-frst and fifty-eighth verses.
was read by Rev&. E. p. ~Herbrouck,of
the Trinity Reformed church of Can
on. The favorite hymn of President
Mckinley, Lead, Kindly Light" was
then rendered by a quartet of two
male and two female voices. When
this hymn had been finished, DR.. c. E.
Manchester, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, delivered his address,
which was a beautiful and touching
eulogy of the manly qualities and
Christian virtues of the illustrious
dead, concluding as follows:
ssWe hoped, with him, that when
his work was done, freed from the
burdens OF his great office, crowned
with the affections of a happy peo-
pIe. he might be permitted to close
his earthly life in the home he had
loved.
HE has, indeed, returned to US,
but how? Borne to the strains of
ssNearer, My God. To Thee" and
placed where he first began life's
struggle, that the people might look
and weep over so sad a Homecoming.
'.But it was a triumphal march.
How vast the procession. The nation

people of the land r chief mourn

with them. But, oh, what a victory.

of mature reflection, what other man
ever had such high honors bestowed
upon him, and by so many people?
What pageant has equalled this that
we look upon? We gave him to the

LAYING BOARD DRAINS.
In Some Localities and in Certain
Conditions They Are Almost as
Good as Tile.

While tile is the standard material
for drains. it quite often happens that
a tile drain does not do so well as one
would expect from so expensive an
outlay. In soft ground they will some
times get out of line or sink into the
mud. At places the line of the drain
will sometimes come above the frost
line. AT such places and at the outlet.
freezing will cause the tile to crum.
bic, in time, unless they are vitrified,
which adds greatly to their cost. A
tile drain is no more exempt from
trouble with roots, silt or vermin than
is one made of boards. In sections re.
mote from tile yards freights add SO
much to the cost of tilethat their use
is almost prohibited, but it is especial
ly in these places that wood can be OBJ
tanned more cheaply.
Wood is more enduring when laid in
a drain than is generally supposed.
Hemlock, which is of but little durabil-
ity above ground. is still doing service
in a drain which was made 10 years
ago. A well-laid drain of rived chest
nut or cypress will last almost a life
time. White oak and locust are also
very durable. In fact, almost any kind
of wood will last well in a deep drain.
There are no blows to disturb it, and it
will preserve an opening for the flow
of water long after decay has set in.
A board six inches in width should be
nailed to one five inches in width and
laid along the bottom of the drain, as
at A in Fig. L. If the boards are rived
and there are narrow ones, the mar
row ones may be nailed over two 9TH
ers, as shown at B..
The ditch need not be over a spades
width on the bottom. In depth it
should average two to three feet. The
deeper the drain, the farther it will
draw the water, but it is not advisable
to go so deep where there is a heavy
clay subsoil. Drains will do better
service after two or three years, as
the ground gets more porous.
In laying the boards have them fit
closely and any holes with thin
pieces of wood so the dirt cannot work

Canton, o., Sept. 19.-The friends of
Mrs. Mckinley do not tonight regard
her as being upon the verge of a col
lapse. On the contrary, they express
themselves as quite confident that she
will be spared to them, for a long
time, at least, in as good state of
health as she has enjoyed for the
last five years. DR.. Rixey said late
this afternoon:
"Mrs. Mckinley is bearing up as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances. She has been, and is
still, suffering intensely from her be-
~reavement, and has frequently given
way to sobs and tears, but, for all
that, she has been doing as well as
any woman could do under similar
circumstances. We have no immediate
expectations of anything but favor
able conditions in her case"

HOW TO MAKE A BOARD DRAIN

in. Be sure to stop up the outlet with
coarse wire screening, to keep out rats,
rabbits, etc. Board drains need no
plank on the bottom of the ditch,
neither do they need any straw or hay
on top of the boxes.
But it is important to get the grade
of the bottom of the ditch uniform, and
It will pay to take some pains with it.
A drain should not have a steep grade
followed by one not SO steep. If it is
the reverse it will not matter, but in
the former case the water, flowing
with some rapidity, will cou and car
~ with it some silt. Coming to a sec
ton of lesser fall, the flow is retarded
and the silt deposited, causing the
drain to stop up. Three inches to 100
feet of drain is about the least fall
that is practicable to give to board
drains.
Where it is not desirable to get the
services of an engineer to lay out a
drain, the farmer may find out what
he has got by using the common spirit
level, and then he can finish the bot
tom of the ditch with a device I have
shown at the bottom of Fig. 1. Take a
straightedge 1919 feet long and fix to
it another straightedge movable at
one end. If the two edges are made
to be one-half of one inch farther apart
at one end than the other and one end
leveled by a spirit level the other edge
will correspond to a fall of four inches
per 100 feet. The movable end can be
so attached as to be quickly adjusted
to represent any fall desired. For
small drains where there is plenty of
fall the ditcher can do well enough
with his spade and eye; but in longer
drains with little fall the assistance of
Rome kind of instrument is required.

SPENT A QUIET MORNING.
President Roosevelt Remained Quiet
Iy ecIuded All Morning


Canton, o., Sept. 19.-President
Roosevelt spent a quiet morning at
the Harter residence. He did not go
out to the crowded street, where
thousands were gathered hoping to
catch a glimpse of him, but took a
walk in the spacious grounds of the
residence. While at breakfast Judge
Day joined him for half an hour, and
later Secretary Root and Secretary
Hitchcock came in to see him. Many
unofficial visitors left cards of re-
spect, but the president saw very few
people, p~referring to remain in re-
tirement. Among those who called
were a half-score of his old command
of the rough riders, several of them
in their broad-brimmed sombreros.
The president saw them only for a
moment.
