Feeding Cattle In IN. Fan.

Much has been sadd and written on
the subject Of cattle feeding, and the
experiment stations have done 50
much to help us in fixing rations.
Each cattle feeder, however. has de
cided on a certain way which he claims
to be the best am one OF those vho
by reading and studying the subject
and by actual feeding have decided
that for the average practical farmer
1t Is better to feed in the fall. aim
to make a short and quick feed every
fall, and geter better returns than from
a longer feed
A plan that have always found
profitable is to keep the cattle on good
grass during the summer, and as. soon
as roasting ears can be procured to
begin to feed green corn, feeding the
whole stalk Keep the CATTLE on grass
through the whole feed, or as long
as there is any grass. When the corn
gets dry, break the ears OF, and feed
in troughs.-Faam and Ffreside.

FRENCH cANADHs WOMEN.
They Are Always Busy and Yet Their

THE SWEET POTATO.
Some Points to he Observed in HasS
vestinE and storing the
Popular Tubers.

Sweet potatoes should be harvested
before the vines are seriolsuy injured
by frost. II only few are grown in
the garden, they may be dug with an
ordinary potato fork. II, however, the
area is large, the tubers may be
plowed out after the vines have been
cut with rolling coulter. or special
digger having two coulters, two plows
and cutting blade may be employed
Whatever the tool used, care should
be taken to avoid cutting. bruising or
breaking the tubers. since an injured
tuber does not keep well when stored.
The tubers should be dug only when
the soil is dry. 1t is considered best
to dig them in the morning Of bright
day, shake OF the dirt by hand, and
lsave them lying In the field until aft
ernoon; then take them in and place
them under cover before night.
To keep we'll, sweet potatoes must be
stored in a dry, warm place having q
fairly uniform temperature In storing
on small scale, as for home use, the
tubers may be packed in boxes to dry
sand or road dust, and placed in q
basement containing a furnace, or in
an upper room close to a chimney. For
storing in large quantities. specially
constructed buildings are used. These
are usually built entirely above ground,
have dead air spaces in the walls, and
double doors and windows. A stove is
placed in the building SO that the de-
sired temperature may be maintained,
even in the coldest weather. Means for
ventilation must be provided. Tho
tubers are stored in bins with false
bottoms raised or inches above the
floors, and there is an air space or pas
sageway between the bins and the
walls of the building. so that there
may be free circulation of air all
around the tubers.
1t Is common practice among some
growers to maintain the temperature
Of the house at about 80 degrees for

are put in, so as to cause them to lose
their excess Of moisture. Thorough
must be given during this
period, to allow the escape of the
moisture laden atmosphere. After this
sweating process is completed, the
is usually lowered to SO
or so degrees, and is kept as uniform
as possible throughout the storage sea-
son.
Sweet potatoes in storage should
never be moved, sorted or handled In
any way until just before they are to
be marketed. After being handled.
they soon rot. For this reason, it Is
4 practice with some growers to store in
small bins so that the entire contents
Of one bin may be taken out at once,
disturbing the remainder of
the tubers in storage.-Cor. Orange

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Elizabeth Reynolds, wife of
John S. Reynolds, Of the town of Ran
dali, died March 80, 1904, after brief
illness of only two days duration.
The cause of death was heart failure.
She was seventy-one years, ten
months and three days old. Had she
lived another day, she would have
completed forty-seven years of mar
ried life.
At her bedside when the end came,
which was painless and peaceful,
were all the family except her young
est daughter, Sarah.
Thus another old settler who had
admirably performed her part in MAX
ing the world better, was called to her
Heavenly Home.
Mrs. Reynolds was born in Pitts
town, Rensselaer, county, New York,
May 27, 1882. She was the oldest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvester Coon,
who moved to Wisconsin in 1851.
They landed at Southport, now Ke-
nosha, in June, and took up their resi-
dence on farm abo 1T mile west of
Bassett's station, in the town of
Wheatland, now Randall, where they
resided till 1871, when death came to
claim Mrs. Coon, Mr.. Coon then NOV
ing to the state of Oregon to live with
his son Ade1bert.
In her early life Elizabeth taught
school for number of terms. Her
aniable disposition, winsome ways
and love of her work, made of her a
successful teacher. Those now 1iv-
ing who were her pupils remember
those days with pleasure.
March 81, 1857, she was married to
John S. Reynolds. They started life
together on a farm which he then
owned, and they continued to live
there till 1875, when they moved to
the place one-ha1f mile west, which
has been their home ever since.
The deceased has left to mourn her
loss a husband, and five children,
Mary, John, Everett, Alice and Mrs.
Will Miller of Genoa Junction, and
also five brothers and sisters, John
and Ade1bert Coon, both of Grass
Valley, Oregon; Mrs. Edgar Bassett
and Sylvester Coon, both Of Genoa
Junction, and Mrs. John H. Robert
son. of Harvard, Nebraska. f9zs
"A host of friends syn patlise with
the relatives in their sad affection;
for the departed was not only de-
voted mother and wife, but also a
true friend, a kind neighbor, and a
fchristian woman. The funeral was
held from the house Saturday where a
large number of friends gathered.
The many floral tributes were tokens
of the high esteem for the deceased.
Rev. Cutler, of the Congregational
church Of Genoa Junction, preached
the sermon. The interment was in
the Mound Prairie cemetery.

GETS HIS REWARD
Calvin Stewart is Slated for the Office
OF City Attorney by the Victor
ious Democrats.
DENIS PLAN A CLEAN SWEEP

At the election yesterday the Demo
Gratis secured control of the City
Council, and the members of the vic
torlous party are already fighting
| over the disposition of the few offices
| in the gift of the council. Calvin
Stewards to be rewarded for his work
in the campaign and an effort is to be
made to elect him City Attorney to
| succeed John G. Slater.
It was stated this morning that this
was one of the considerations of the
detection, and that Stewart has the
Ipro111ise of the members Of the coun-
Ecil on the Democratic side. It is,
| however, possible that the Democrats
Iwlllhave some trouble in delivering
the goods to Stewart as some of the
laldermen who bear the name of Demo-
crat are unwilling to vote for Stewart.
There is one ray of hope in the
whole election and that is that the
democrats will not have chance to
tackle the police proposition as all
the officers are now under civil service
and Mayor German and his followers
will have power only to appoint
new member of the police and fire
commission. By law this commission
must be kept non partisan. The
Democrats will, however, have the
privilege of e1ecting couple of street
commissioners and few other minor
officers.
The election will result in a general
shifting of things at the city hall, as
the strict business methods which
have been followed by Gus Jacob for
some time will be superseded by the
rule of new man. For the best
interests of the city it is hoped that
City Clerk Elect Harrington, will see
fit to continue the work of the Clerks
office on the lines marked out by the
retiring official.
