DEATH OF MISS WHlSNANT
Stricken En- Route Home, Miss Mag
gle succumbs to Grim Reaper

Her many friends in Newark
were profoundly shocked when the
news came II few days ago that
Miss Maggie Whisnant was dead.
She died at her fathers home
in Cleveland county, North Caro-
lima, Thursday of last week from
pneumonia.
Miss Whisnant had spent the
past year here with her only sis
ter. Mrs. !. H. Pendleton, and
only left about two weeks ago to
return home with her father who
had been out here on a visit. She
was in the best of health when
she left Newark, with the excep-
ton of slight cold, and in bid
ding Ter good bye when she left,
her friends had not the slightest
thought it was their last farewell.
She took cold on the trip and
when she arrived home the trouble
had developed into pneumonia.
She grew steadily worse and died
in just one week from the day she
left here.
She was Il most estimable young
lady and made many friends dur
ing her stay in Newark.

LIVE STOCK ON. THE FARM.
per.,.tent Use of Thoroughbred
Males the Best Way to Succeea
with stock.

The cheapest, quicket and, in a large
majority of cases, the best way bY
which a farmer of comparatively limit
cd means can improve and build up
either his cattle, sheep or hogs is by
the persistent use Of thoroughbred
males. the very best that he can afford
to either buy or pay service for. These
should be representatives Of the breed
which most nearly corresponds to his
ideals; breed these on the best females
he has on his place, and continue TO
use the thoroughbred blood, but OF q
different sire, on the best females from
the first cross for several successive
generations. The progeny, after five
or more crosses of this kind, will have
the most desirable qualities OF the
thoroughbred, and for all practical
purposes will be equally as valuable.
The most noticeable improvement in
using the thoroughbred males will be
in the produce from the first cross, and
to this cause can be attributed In
great measure most of the failures by
the average farmer to build up the
common stock of the country. They
are generally content with the wonder
ful Improvement shown in the progeny
of the first one or two crosses OF the
thoroughbred blood and cease to fol-
low It I'D and continue the use OF good
sires. oftentimes using the grades as
sires Deterioration is the inevitable
result, and two such crosses viii throw
the produce back to the original scrub
from which 1t sprang.
But with continued use Of thorough
bred sires of the same breed for four
or five years in the case OF hogs and
sheep. and for six or eight years with
cattle. the farmer will have animals
of these different breeds equal, as
above stated, to the thoroughbreds for
ALI practical purposes, and lacking
only the qualification Of registration in
the different herd registers. The lack
of this would necessarily detract from
the sale of the stock for breeding pur-
poses, but aside from this the regis
tered animals have no advantage over
them.
Before starting out to improve his
stock the beginner should be first sat
isfied with his ideal of what he wants.
Many farmers start out with the idea
of improving their animals and in
stead Of sticking to one breed, cross 1t
with another, expecting to get the most
desirable qualities Of both In the
produce; the result of such cross in
nearly every instance is an animal in
ferior in every respect to both par
| ents.
Looking forward six or eight years
4 for results seems a long time to a
| young farmer or a beginner in breed
ing up his herds, but he expects to
live and farm that long, and Of course
breed stock of some kind, and by just
q little additional expense to start
with, care in selecting and breeding
he can have the satisfaction, as well as

SCRAPS OF SCIENCE.

The fiftieth anniversary Of the inven-
ton of the aniline dye is to be celebrated
by the world of science by the placing Of
a portrait of the inventor, DR.. Perkin,
in the National Portrait gallery, and a

ciety at Burlington House, London.
Gas is the fundamental basis of the

Putting Implements i'm Order.

From now on the farmer will have
use for his plows, harrows, disc plow
and other implements to put in his
crops. 1t Is of marked importance that
all the tools should be in order, sharp,
and in condition to do the best work
with the least effort of human or horse
power. A small forge and bellows can
be purchased for small sum, and will
pay for themselves in one season. The
boys on tho farm should be taught the
use of saw, adj. drawing knife, how to
sharpen plow points, how to mend q
link in a trace chain, how to mend
broken pillow stock, to put threads on
a bolt, and q dozen other things that
can be done at home in less time than
it will require to go to the blacksmith
In town.
In this age time must not be wasted,
or the period for planting the crop will
be delayed. Have a grindstone that
can be turned with a treadle to keep
hatchets and other tools on q keen
edge.
The wise farmer will keep all these
implements on the farm, and the boys
will be better farmers and do their
work more cheerfully when these con-
veniences are placed at their COM
mand.-Southern Agriculturist.

HERE AND THERE.

A Door COW will stand abuse, as IL
doesn't make much difference with her,
but the highly bred, nervous dairy
COW must have careful, humane treat
ment.
1t is very necessary that the hens
should be supplied with grit, as this Is
really their teeth. Throw gravel,
oyster shells and old broken whits
dishes where they can get it.
-Overfeeding or sudden changes from
poor to very srich food, combined with
want of exercise, If not actually causes,
will greatly contribute to the develop
ment of the loss of wool among ewes.
Tennessee farmers who have grown
two crops of Irish potatoes per year be-
lieve that the seeds from the second
crop are more certain to terminate
and give better stands than the first
or older crop.
You can't drive boy off a farm
where there is a good orchard, and he
viii take care of it. The "harrier."
the hoe, the hand-saw and the jack
knife will give new life to an old, half
starved orchard.
-Dewberries are largely grown as q
market crop in Moore county, N. c.
The crop shipped to New York this
season will amount to 70 carloads.
The planters are making business OF
growing the berries.
Success In raising chickens means
simply to furnish them proper foods
to keep them growing. Neglect tells
very quickly on the young chicks, and
such checks to their growth are exceed
ingly hard to overcome.
Milk is often spoiled by allowing
it to stand in the barn too long after
it has been drawn. for it absorbs odors
of the air, and odors of the barn are
therefore very much in evidence. For
this reason the milk should be quickly
removed to a place free from odors.
Cheap breeding is always followed
| by cheap selling. Grade animals, while
much better than scrubs, rarely ever
reproduce their own good quality II
their produce, while the scrub that Is
| in them Is sure to crop out, and it
usually comes in the way least desired.

THE HEN ON THE FARM.
Start Right This Year and
Watch Results.

The great trouble with most people
on the farm is, that IL they get Q
brood or two of early-hatched chicks
just as soon as they are large enough
they are taken to town and sold as
flyers: tempted, no doubt, by the high
er price at that season.
This is all wrong. Sell the cock
erels, but save the puliets, and before
next Christmas you will have sold more
eggs from them than you would have
received cash as fryers-and still have
your chickens.

keep all, but you should keep the most

the winter egg subject for years. but
hope to see the day when the south
will have no further use for cold-storage
eggs, bought up in the west and middle

and sent south about the time the gov
ernor issues his Thanksgiving procla-
nation, like "Me too Platt" after the
president has named the day.
Our northern friends do not consume
near so many cold-storage eggs as we
do, except when they buy bakers cake.
for they, with the poorer classes Of the
north, are the principal users of the

the south almost every one, rich and
poor, and even some Of the big 90
farmers depend largely on store eggs,
packed by the beef trust, for their win
ter supply. The whole trouble, folks,
is that the farmers and raisers of poul-
try simply don't understand the busi-
ness, and If they would only read lit
tie more and take a deeper interest in
the subject, they would soon find that
