Miss ornhana Rralnerd.

Miss Orphana Brainerd, whose death was
reported last week, lived almost CEN
fury ls03-1902.
Twenty years after the township Of
Randolph was organized, under the char
ter of the legislature, and while most Of
its area was covered with primeyal forests,
in the cottage OF Mr.. Asahel Brainerd and
wife, one mile east Of the Center, a little
girl was born destined to live almost
hundred years.
Her fathers brother was the Rev. Elijah
Brainerd, the first pastor Of the first
church in Randolph, which was organized
in 1886. He was a native Of Haddam,
Conn, a graduate OF Dartmouth college
and an able, earnest preacher and a sue
cessful pastor here for nearly twelve years,
having been ordained in 1856. and dis
missed, on account Of III health, in l79S.
Her father, respectable farmer, a quiet,
Christian man, lived ninety-three years.
Her sister, Lydia, near her in age, died
about five years ago. They were often
spoken OF as "the Brainerd girls even
when octogenarians.
They continued to live in their pleasant
cottage home by the brook side, shaded
by elms, and facing a grove OF naples,
after their father and mother died, leading
a quiet uneventful life, living simply and
economically, but always appearing cheer
full, happy and contented, enjoying great
ly the beauties OF nature by which they
were surrounded, the care of their garden,
the calls of neighbors and friends and
occasional opportunities TO attend public
worship.
During the latter part OF their lives they
had spent the winters at the home OF their
niece, Mrs. DR.. Chamberlain, in Worces-
ter, Mass, who very gladly and kindly
cared for them in their declining years.
There, on Jan. 9th, Miss Brainerd peace
fully, trustingly. came to the close OF her
long earthly life and passed on to "Ihe
Better Land" TO join those gone before.
The funeral was attended in the Congre-
gational church ON Friday, the 3lst, the
services being conducted by her former
pastor, the Rev. }. A. Bates, now at South
Royalston, Mass, assisted by the Rev.
G. w. Patterson, present pastor.
The discourse was very appropriate and
interesting. A quartet sang softly and
sweetly, ssUnder His Wings / Am Safely
Abiding and ''Sweet Peace, the Gift of
Gods Love"
The casket was covered with very beau
tiful flowers, sent from Worcester by
Mrs mberlain, who was unable to
come. The burial was in the old cemetery,
near the church. by the side OF her sister
and parents. The day was sunny and
mild.
Miss Brainerd was the oldest member of
the church, having united with 1t in 1887,
and has known all its pastors during the
whole of the nineteenth century from
Parson Eastman, ordained in 1901, who
baptized her, down TO the pastors who
ofiiciated at her funeral. ID. II. N.

Death Of Mrs. M. ]. Saroent.

Mrs Hattie l.. Pike Sargent, wife OF NJ.
j. Sargent, died last Tuesday morning
after a weeks illness of cerebral apoplexy,
which completely paralyzed one side.
Mrs. Sargent was the daughter of James
and Betsey Pike Of South Royalton, for
many years residents OF Mortified, VT.
She was born in North Chelmsford, Mass,
in 1913. In 1919 the family moved to
Mortified where they resided till 1868,
when they moved to South Royalton.
Mrs. Sargent received a good education at
Mortified academy and was for many
wears a teacher in the public schools OF
Mortified and South Royalton. She was
married to NJ. j. Sargent, who survives
her, in 1875. She has a mother, Mrs. James
Pike, OF South ROyalton and sister, Mrs.
X. ID. Grain, OF Winchendon, Mass.
Funeral services will be held at the
Congl church Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock.
The community Of South Royalton was
greatly depressed one week ago when it
was announced that Mrs. Hattie l.. Sar-
gent, wife OF Mark j. Sargent, was strick-
en- down suddenly by paralysis and
anxiously have they watched for one word
Of hope or even a sign Of improvement.
Friday night she seemed to brighten up,
to recognize friends and answer yes TO
questions. Sunday morning she made
motions that she would ike TO write and
expressed wish on paper for a friend,
repeating a request the same way Monday
morning. but after that she gradually
failed. The best of care and medical help
ayailed nothing for at 1920 Tuesday
morning she passed from her fettered con-
dition To the life beyond.
Mrs Sargent was a valued charter mem
Der Of Orville Bixby, No. 81, W. r, C., also
a member Of Rising Sun chapter, No. II,
o. Il. s., OF which she was treasurer.
Her sense of justice was strong She
always advocated the right, refusing 70
participate in anything verging ON the
wrong, thereby showing a nobility Of
character not often seen. Her frank and
genial manners made her a welcome guest
at every Preside, and her active, merry
disposition caused her to be foremost IN
any good work planned for the improve
ment or amusement Of the community.
Her presence win be greatly missed by
her husband, whose right hand she has
been for so many years, also by her aged
mother. now in her Sith year, who has
hoped that her declining years would be
soothed by her loving care, which duty Is
now left to her only surviving sister who
also deeply mourns her loss.
The church, the different organizations,
the poor, the children and a large circle OF
friends, all have much to credit her busy
hands and mind and sympathize most
sincerely with the bereaved family.

HONEYCOMB BUILDING.

The Use OF Foundation and Methods
of Attaching Comb starters.
III recent bulletin C. r. Gillette of
the Colorado station calls attention to
the fact that experiments have shown
that it requires about one pound of
wax for every twenty-five pounds of
honey that is stored in the comb. The
food which is necessary for the formal
ton and secretion of wax in the body
of bees is for the most part honey, and
it probably requires several pounds of
honey as food for worker bees to en-
able them to produce one pound of
wax. The bees which are engaged in
the secretion of wax are thereby ne
vented from collecting honey and must
feed upon the honey collected by other
workers. Where comb honey Is being
produced for the market it becomes,
therefore, problem of considerable
economic importance to determine to
what extent and in what form wax
should be furnished the bees for their
use in building comb.
According to the present practice of
bee raisers, wax is furnished to bees
in only one general way, and that is in
the form of artificial comb foundation.
There are, however, many types of
foundation, some with midrib only
and others with cell walls of greater or
less length outlined for the bees. The
keeper has, therefore, the practical
problem of determining the kind Of
foundation to use. whether with or
without cell walls and of what weight.
Professor Gillette's Investigations i9-
dictate that it is a mistake to use deep
cells in artificial foundation unless
their walls are made of the thinness of
natural cell walls. The only cell walls
which We're brought to the thinness of
natural comb were those built on foun-
dations with light base and with little
wax in the cell walls.

raj comb and comb built on artificial

The remarks in bulletin No. 80 on
the peculiarities of temperament and
habits of a dozen cows, separately re-
corded and with excellent illustrations
of each animal have lively interest
and are likely to set any farmer to
trying for better results in his own
practice. Two of the cows are here

Lucretia is described as registered
Guernsey COW, dropped Jan. 10, 1892.
Lucretia shows large intelligence even
for thoroughbred. Lucretia's dispo-
sition at present is all that could be
desired in regard to man. Again, she
is neutral in the matter of affection
and in regard to brushing and petting,
though a trifie sensitive to carding.
She will quietly domineer over any
smaller cow, seemingly taking pleasure
in keeping her from getting any water
to drink. She is a slow drinker, but
dislikes cold water. She prefers to lap
her water unless very thirsty. She
rarely eats fine salt, nor does she lick
rock salt freely. Lucretia is so sensi-

Lucretia is q ready eater of hay and
takes to corn fodder, though not show
ing eagerness for either. The effort to
keep Lucretia from fattening was a
failure.
Rotha is registered Guernsey COW,
dropped March 81, 1894. Rotha shows

tremely nervous, she. is not rendered
so by external circumstances, for they
do not seem to trouble her. She is
not affectionate with man and does not
care to be petted or brushed and is
quite sensitive when carded. She is
keen trickster. She lies in wait, in
conjunction with Lucretia, in the yard
about the watering tub to punch the
weaker cows. She is more ugly with
the other cows than Lucretia and
more tricky with man. though she is
not intractable and never toward man
kicker or hooker. She eats but little
salt. She is a good, deep and ready
drinker, not stopping to lap or mind
ing the temperature of the water. She
takes to hay and corn fodder well.
