the latitude of Quincy, ILL.,, and 6o
years ago the Magee farm in this
country was known as Magee's
folly-yet corn can now mature IN
Canada and Alaska.
Mr.. Hannum, by careful study OF
the corn problem. in a short time
moved it's habitat north 800 miles,
and sent it in search of the Arctic
circle.
So far the peach has r,ot done
we'll in pastures, horse lots or on the
south side of houses. On level, rich
sell it grows too rank and winter
kills. Try it on northern slopes or
hill sides and on poorer soil, there
the winters sun is not apt to start
the sap. Bend to the south and
fasten down, and do not allow to
grow over about feet high. Cover
in early winter with waste straw,
hay, fodder or weeds, and that with
little. brush. Be careful not to
allow any lgral1 IN the covering
In mid-winter mulch around the
tree to keep frost in late.
Do not plant near low grade
peaches and not expect the fruit 20
deteriorate. On especially Platte,
Grant, Wisconsin and Mississippi
rivers are many excellent slopes TO
the north. Where trees are the
third generation from seed raised
in Lancaster, the fruit is far superior
to that purchased in market.
My trees appear to be ia gooo
condition. How is it with those
instituted last year. Please report
when convenient. If weather il
suitable I will commence delivering
trees April 4th in the afternoon
About three will be given to eacl
one applying who will agree to give
them his attention.

IN HEAVENLY REALMS
Mrs. Harvey Abrams Joined the Silent
Majority Monday.

The sad announcement of the
death of Mrs. Harvey Abrams came
as shock to Lancaster people Mon
day morning, many of whom were
unaware of her illness.
On Wednesday Of last week a
baby came to brighten the abode
over which the faithful woman pre-
sided. An attack of pneumonia was
experienced at about the same time,
and this complication of ills proved
more than the weakened mother
cou, : withstand. For several days
she lowered between life and death,
every effort on part Of physicians
being put forth to strengthen and
save her, but to no avail every en-
deavor being baffied, and the end
came at 10s40 a. ~, Monday.
Matte Humphrey Abrams was
born in Patch Grove June 4, 1868,
and there passed her youthful days.
On June ~, 1888, she was united In
marriage to Harvey Abrams. Fou1
children, two sons and two daugh'
ters, the oldest eleven years of age
with the grief stricken husband
forms q group who now mourn the
loss Of loving mother and faithful
! wife.
Besides these the mother of tht
! deceased survives, Mrs. Mar.
! Humphrey; two sisters, Mrs. Geige
J OF Bloomington and1 Mrs. Barr Q
Il Glen Haven, and two brothers, VIM
of Lancaster and Paul of Patel
| Grove.
, Rev. w. J. c, Ralph conducte,
the funeral services, which wer
held at the family residence yestel
day at 2 O'Clock p, m.
Mrs. Abrams was universally re
| garded rs a model woman. TEE in
9 stincts of the true and noble woma
! were her birthright. Pure and lo1
9 ing IN heart, sympathetic TO a re
t msrkable degree, her friendshi
was sincere, She was the srlnliga
of the home which was the deaTes
9 place on earth to her; and it is sa
d to contemplate that the darkness
r and gloom that death brings hs
e supplanGed the light of happine'
d and cheerfulness which shone
a her abode. Her grave will
guarded by love and honor.
ell The afflicted family has the syI
e Ipathy Of all in their sorrow.

The roxey Farmer.

There was foxey farmer whosold
his harrow and his plow; then he
bought speckled hen and an old
brindle cow, Says he with chuckle
II am GA the road to wealth; I amt
in business now, for the good of my
health"
He amilked the COW each morning
and ne milked it day and night, and
he kept the churn going until after
candle light, Then he'd go into the
city with his butter nicely rolled
and he never failed to trade it for a
pocket fun of gold
The speckled hen got busy and she
laid both night and day, and the
way she turned the eggs oEG was a
caution, SO they say. The farmer
took the jewels and he sold them to
the trust. He got big bags Of gold
for them so full they nearly bust.
The farmer took his money and
he moved, straightway, to town; he
bought great big mansion and he
sthought he would settle down. He
had million dollars quite enough
he thought for life, to furnish all the
| comforts for himself and for his
wife.
He bog1ght the best of butter be
could find for miles around; it cost
him sixteen ounces OF good money
fer a pound. Says be, "I'll never
stand it, and viii let the butter &c
and try that substitute on the folks
call ole0."
For the first time ian his life he
went to buy some eggs, and the
price he had to pay nearly knocked
him off his legs Says he, when
you are selling nothing is ever too
high, but I find it very different
when a fellow has to buy"
| He was a great meat eater but it
filled his soul with grief to find how
much it costs him for a little piece
of beef But the camel's back was
| broken when the fuel famine came,
and he aswore they couldn't catch
him with such a ''bunko game"
He loaded up his wagon, TO his
farm he quickly fled. IF [ leave
this farm again, said he, II hope l
may drop dead" He's living now
in comfort, and he never cares to
roam from a brindle cow and speckl-
ed hen and his own dear happy
home"

Views and Interviews

A Prominent Farmer; One reason
why SO many of the farmers are try
ing to sell their high priced land 10
go to the north and west for cheaper
and larger farms is that they find
it difficult to secure competent help
ON the average farm where milking
has to be done. They prefer to go
where they caE raise wheat and
thus avoid so many chores. This
country was once a whe&t raising
section and to make money farmers
had to abandon it to take diversified
farming, and before long the north
and west wall have to do the same
We will take for instance the great
BED river valley once the greatest
wheat raising country or the face
of the earth and now fast growing
| mpwith weeds and foul stuff of every
| description, and already the FARMERS
dtof that country are making aneffort
Ito diversity. There is no getting
around the fact that the proper and
| profitable method Of farming in the
future Will be some hogs, some cows,
some sheep, some hens, some small
fruit and a nice lot of clover, corn,
corn fodder and plenty Of oats.
There is, however, another side to
1.-THE farm help proposition that
Fshould be looked into more carefully
from the standpoint OF the farmer
and that is the having @f a more
systematic method of doing his
work. 1T is true that i'm all manner
of employment man wants to know
approximately what lis expected as
a days work and the hours that he
is expected ito be on hand Ii the
farmer gets his hired nnan up at five
O'Clock i'm the morning he should
hardly be expected to keep peace
with the hired man if he quit in the
field at seven o'clock ia the evening
to go to supper and then after sup
per to have ten COWS TO milk. This
is too big a days work for any man
and he cannot stand up on it very
long. The greatest trouble, per
haps, is the fact that too many
farmers do not regard the milking
as part of days work and too fire.
quently the milking is dome very
poorly and carelessly from the fact
that the help lis tired and could not
take any interest had they desire
| to do SO. IL a farmer intends to
keep a herd of COWS and gets up at
five o'clock to milk them he should
make it a point to stop work at the
same time in the evening to milk
them. This should not only be done
for the hired mans benefit, but the
COWS do far better when they are
n2alked regularly.
John G.. Clark: Last year about SO
peach trees grew in my garden from
seed of peaches raised there, and
were distributed among persons
who promised to assist in trying to
solve the problem of how and where
to raise peaches in this climate.
About $50 more are ready this
spring for distribution among so
people who will use their brains and
spend little time and labor in en-
deayoring to make the discovery. 1t
will not be as expensive or as danger
GUS as a search for the south pole,
but it's discovery will contribute
much more to the comfort Of the
people. Seventy years ago dent |

contained lengthy accounts of an at
tempt on the life Of Atty. c. M.
Scanlan Of that city on the evening
previous. The assailant was a client
OF the attorney and shot at him
three times at close range, but one
7sall taking effect, and this was for
l.tunate1y checked in its course by
striking q ria. The assault took
place on Grand Avenue, principal
1horoughfare of the metropolis, at
an early hour in the evening when
the street was crowded. The would
he murderer was captured after a
chase by witnesses and police, and
gave as his excuse for the dastardly
crime that the attorney was with
holding some property from him,
estate of deceased brother. It is
reported that this statement is with
out foundation and that the fellow
is partially demented over supposed
wrongs. The wounded lawyer was
conveyed to a hospital where his
case was examined and pronounced
not fatal. 1t is most remarkable
that the attack did not result fatally.
Atty. Scanlan is Grant county
boy and brother Of DR.. P. L.
