Obituary.

Rev. Samuel Getty Boyce was born
in County Londonderry, Ireland,
october "a, 1861 and died at Audubon,
Sabbath, May 4, 1902. He was edu-
Gated at Coleraine Academical Insti-
tute and Magee College, Ireland, tax
ing both the classical and divinity
courses in the latter institution. He
was an ordained minister of the Pres
byterian church of ireland at the
time of his death having been I'M
able to reach the meeting OF the
Presbytery of Council Bluffs in April.
He spent ten years in the ministry I'm
his native country where his labors
we're highly appreciated both in the
pulpit and pastorate. His sole pur-
pose in coming to this country was to
find wider field of usefulness than
that afforded at his old home. To
this end he came to Canada in the
year 1899 where he did excellent miss
ion work but his fathers death called
him back to Ireland where he re-
manned till last October when he
came TO the United States. Early in
March he accepted an invitation from
the churches of Lone Star and Old
Hamlin to supply them for a year and
had begun his work with much ac-
ceptance and promise when he was
overtaken with the mysterious pro-
violence that ended his life in the
midst of his years. Mr.. Boyce's family
is one of the foremost in the parts of
Ireland from which he came; his coh-
duct in our midst was that of modest
christian gentleman. He had al
ready won a large place in the conf
dence of his Pensioners who mourn
his tragic end. Mr.. Boyce was mar
ried on August 2S, 1895 to Miss Mary
Tedlie of his native county, who with
three children Sarah, Elizabeth and
Samuel G., survive him. Mrs. Boyce,
like her husband, is women ot many
virtues and much refinement well
calculated to be helpmeet to her hus-
band. To her has gone out the SYM
patty of the whole community in
such way as to be manifested in
many deeds of kindness which have
done much to break the force of the
blow that has fallen so mysteriously,
and which have been greatly appre-
ciated by her.
Funeral services were held In the
Presbyterian church on Wednesday
morning, May I, at ten o'clock and was
largely attended, Rev.J.F. Hinkhouse
had charge. He was assisted by Rev.E.
b. Cousins, Rev. M. ]. Common of Au-
dubon, Rev. j. Wirth of Hamlin and
Rev. Albert Aston of Atlantic, who
preached very appropriate sermon
from these words "What l Do Thou
Knowest Not Now; But Thou Shalt
Know Hereafter" The pail bearers
were members of the two churches
which he supplied. Burial was in the
Arlington Heights cemetery.

TO CUBE EGG EATING.

Almost every one has had trouble with
hens eating eggs. Any one who has
learned much from it will be glad to
learn any way to prevent or cure it. A
poultryman of experience says:
There is nothing more provoking and
more Improbable than flock of hens
which have acquired the habit of eating
their eggs. This is habit more easily
prevented than cured. Give the hens
plenty of exercise with variety of food.
Gather the eg frequently, provide
sufficient resting places and keep one OF
more porcelain eggs upon the floor OF
the house. Dark nests are advisable,
and meat diet is excellent.
To cure the habit provide dark nests
and add meat to the food. Remove the
end from several eggs and pour out the
contents. Make mixture of flour,
ground mustard and red pepper, adding
little water to hold the material to-
gether. Fill the shells and place upon
the floor of the henhouse. The hens
will make wild scramble for these pre-
pared eggs, will gobble down some OF
their contents, and will soon be gasping
with open beaks. Follow up this treat
ment until the hens refuse to touch an
egg. 1t seems and perhaps is somewhat
severe, but no permanent i'll effects will
follow. The hens will soon learn that
eggs are not so palatable as they regard
ed them, and will desist from the bad
habit. Positive cures have followed
this method.-The State Farmer.

wHlTeWAsH IN THE HOUSE

There is more virtue in whitewash for
the poultry house than most people are
willing to credit. There are two ways
to apply whitewash to poultry house.
One is with brush and the other with
a spray pump. The pumps are obtain
able almost anywhere now, and are the
best implements for putting on white
wash. The sides and ceiling of the
poultry house should be given an appli-
cation of whitewash. The roOsts and
nest boxes should not be neglected. The
whitewash should be of the consistency
of thick cream, and it will be found a
good plan to put some kerosene in each
pailful. Mites can be killed and lice will
not survive where frequent and thor
ough application of whitewash is given.
One can put on some old slip OF a gar
ment, an old hat, and with spray pump
can in few minutes have a good appli-
cation of whitewash that will make
everything sweet and clean. What falls
on the floor will make good floor it
self when mixed with the hard dirt or
coal ashes, or of whatever material the
floor is made. Make free use of white
wash from now on during the active sea-
son of lice and mites, and see how few
of them will be found at the close of the
season. The fight against vermin must
be persistent and continuous. One ap-
plication will be good as far as it goes,
but it is iuadequate.-Texas Stockman.

Tnrninr Smoke to Gold.

Queen Elizabeth often twitted Ra-

the author Of "The Soverane Herbe"
shrewdly surmises-that the knight re.
piled:

have so well experienced the nature OF
1t that can tell even the weight OF the
smoke in any quantity consume
Il doubt it much, Sir Walter" re-
piled Elizabeth, holding it was impos.
sible to weigh smoke and mayhap

twenty gold angels that you do not
solve my doubt"
Calamity accepting the wager. Ra.
leigh filed his pipe with weighed
quantity of tobacco, smoked 1t out and
then. weighing the resultant ashes, an.
nounced the weight he had smoked
away.
Your majesty cannot deny that the
difference has disappeared In smoke"
Truly cannot" answered the
queen. Ordering the wager to be paid.
she turned to the courtiers around her
and said, Many alchemists have |
heard Of who turned gold into smoke,
but Raleigh is the first who has turned
smoke into gold"

occurred to him one bleak day in De

knew there was Il stranger in town.
So he arrayed himself in a loui, liner
duStcr, buttoned up from knees to col
lar, put an old straw hat on his heat
and, taking shabby book under ont
arm and Il palf leaf fan in his hand. h'
marched all the way down Clark street
past the city hall, to the office. Every
where along the route he was greeted
with jeers or plying words, as his up

When he reached the entrance TO Th'

OXEN ON HE FARM.

With paying value for beef cattle al
ready at hand, and the certainty IN
sight that reasonably satisfactory prices
will rule for an indefinite time to come,
steers and oxen on the farm may again
receive larger measure of attention
than is now the case. True, q great
many of the hilly and rocky farms in the
state have stuck to oxen all the way
along for working team and have found
it To their advantage 10 do SO, yet now
that cattle are ruling much more valua-
bic there are many other of the smaller
farms whose owners will find it to their
money advantage to again return 10
oxen as the principal farm team. There
are also many of the large farms where
oxen may now be introduced to advan-
tage in sharing the work with the horses.
We know from years of experience with
both kinds OF teams that horses will
turn off more work in time than oxen,
vet ON the smaller farms the teams have
work but a small portion of the year.
When not in yoke steers and oxen will
grow and fatten and make handsome
gain in value each year. With team
horses this is not the case. The lesser
work of the oxen, rs compared WIN
horses, in the few weeks of work on the
smaller farms, is far more than made up
in the gain put on to their value.
Now that oxen are bringing prices
that pay well for the growing we trust
this matter will receive the attention its
Importance demands. Even without
taking their work into account steers
paw as well or better for the growing as
any other kind of cattle. Steers are
easily brought TO weight of twelve to
fifteen hundred pounds at three years OF
age, and according to their condition OF
fatness are worth five to six cents a
pound. This is far more than even the
promising heifers or the likely cows will
sell for in like condition of flesh. SO,
whether wanted for work or not there is
now handsome money in raising and
growing steers.-Maine Farmer.
