Frances McAIister Scott Died May

Frances McAiister Scott Died May
%. 1901, at Little Rock.
The subject of the memoir was born
in Van Buren,. at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gordon
Scott, in 1851. and was confirmed while
at school in Philadelphia. After her
parents removed to Little Rock she be-
came member of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of Christ church, in 1870, and held
her membership until her death. One
of the last acts of her life was the pay
ment of her annual dues. While her
church was ever the sacred object of her
reverent affection, love for her state
seemed the passion of her soul, and the
title officially conferred upon her, AR
kansas Daughter, was her special
pride and joy.
"All earthly patriots are dear to
Cod
Truly one who could for years devote
herself to the collection of u sum for
the purpose of erecting monument to
her beloved Confederate dead should
have monument enshrined in all hearts
to perpetuate her grand devotion.
Would that some more potent hands
than ours could write the dedication
She was at all times and to all friends a
welcome ray of sunshine that penetrat-
ed to the Swallowed chambers Of the soul
and left comfort in its course, yet she
carried cheer wherever she went, while
mirth danced In her eyes and dimpled
her cheeks; whose buOyant figure and
elastic step radiated health, was chosen
for victim by the insatiate archer,
death. She, too, was called to bear the
cross. Alas the iron cross
As she lay on her bed of pain and
clasped that cross on the breasts of her
beloved Confederates, who, one by one,
had been summoned there and who each
received 1t with tears at her hands, she
was girding herself to bear 1t in her own
Jesus. God. in mercy, did not sentence
her to bear it long. Weary months of
suffering were at length rewarded with
the crown.
Her Gethsemane ended and her BODY
lay In the solemn stiffness of the church

dawned the brass cross she had placed
on the alter in 1887 shimmered in the
sunbeams. There he saw her at the
foot of the alter, laying In her casket of
Confederate gray.

morn had dawned and her spirit had
assembled to her Redeemer. Her re
mains were taken after the service to
her late residence at Van Buren,, where
the Confederate monument towers to-
wurd the skies, and there buried by
Rev. George Gordon Smeade. Her
grave was draped with Confederate
flag Of flowers, with innumerable others.
Later the usual floral offering of this
society was sent to nlingle with the in

PLUMS FOR MARKET.
There Arc Hundreds of Varieties, But
Only n Few Are Adapted for
General Cultivation,

The number of known species of
plums runs up into the hundreds, but
among those hundreds there are only
with. But it requires n great deal of
experimentation to find out the best
that is in each species. Each species
in turn is made to produce innumer-
able varieties, which may be in turn
crossed with the seedlings of other
species. If all the new varieties were
named we would soon have chaos in
the nomenclature. In addition the
number of varieties would become so
great that the longest life would not
suffice to become acquainted with
them. 1t is, therefore, fortunate that
cutting out of varieties is continually
going oa. Recently in walking
through a block of 500 Seeding plum
trees with Prof. Goff, of the Wiscon-
sin experiment station, he made the
remark that of those 500 trees all
fruiting and bearing fairly good
plums, not more than a dozen trees
would be saved. The rest were to go
onto the brush heap. He says we have
too many varieties now, and that
most of the varieties men are at
tempting to grow should be discard
ed. This phase of the subject is of
interest to the plum student and is
an encouragement, for it justifies the
course of passing lightly over most
of the varieties or forgetting them
altogether and fixing the attention
on the few varieties that have been
proven to be good. For all practical
purposes, therefore, it is possible for
man to become plum expert with
out devoting an entire life to the

Cost of MIX Production,

Prof. Hacker, of the Minnesota
station. has been at work for sew
eral years studying the cost of pro-
ducing a pound of butter fat. He re-
Gently summarized his work as fol-
lows, for three years: The first year
100 pounds of milk cost 60 cents, and
the yield of the herd averaged 5000
pounds of milk. or $50 pounds of but
ter fat. The second year the cost
was about the same, 81 cents per 100
pounds of milk; but in the third
year it was reduced to 3S cents per
100 pounds; with the same cows. and
prices of feed stuffs the same. The
only difference was that they had
calculated the percentage of protein,
and selected the foodstuff where this
was sold cheapest. He did not care
for carbohydrates, fats, etc, as pro-
tein is the only essential part to
look after. The cows require, on an
average, two pounds of protein per
day.

CALF-FEEDrNG TESTS.
Conducted mt the Kansas Experiment
station for the Benefit of
Western Cntt1emen.

A report of the Kansas experiment
station says: Feeders find that the
average skim milk calf does not make
profitable gains in the feed lot and
will not buy him. Farmers find that
the difference in price between an or
dinary skim milk calf and one that
has run with the COW is frequently
greater than the profits made from
milking, and they drop dairy work
The Kansas experiment station re-
Gently fattened 1870 head of calves for
baby beef. These were divided into
nine lots-one lot of ten had been
raised by hand with skim milk, and
another lot of ten had run with their
dams in small pastures until wean-
ing. Both lots were put in fattening
yards at weaving and were fed for
seven months on alfalfa hay and corn.
The results are as follows:
Calves raised with dam gained ABS
pounds per head; amount of corn re-
quired to make 100 pounds gain, AIS;
amount of alfalfa required to make
100 pounds gain, 472.
Skim milk calves gained 440 pounds;
amount of corn required to make 100
pounds gain, 439; amount of alfalfa
required for 100 pounds gain, 43o
pounds.
The skim milk calves were fed una
til weaving on sterilized skim milk,
with a grain ration composed of equal
parts of corn and Kaffir corn, with all
the alfalfa hay they would eat. They
were fed in this way 90 weeks and
made an average daily gain of one and
half pounds per calf. The feed to
raise these calves to weaving cost $5.27
per head. AS the results show, they
were in good condition for feeding
when weaned and the eXperime mt
shows strongly the good feeding quail
| titles of the skim milk calf and the
profits that can be made from it, when
the calf is properly handled from birth
to weaving and then pushed for baby
beef. The college herd of scrub cows,
bought without regard to their value
for the dairy, produced in a year, at
creamery prices, milk worth S37.75
per COW. The skim milk calves which
were fattened in this experiment were
of mixed breeding and were selected
without regard to their value for the
production of baby beef. They brought
an average of $40 each when marke ted
at about a year old.
