a TRIBUTE.

A TRIBUTE.
In memory of Mrs. ]. P. Meal
ing, the beloved wife of Rev. Jobl
P. Mealing, OF Curryton, South
Carolina.
Mrs. Mealing was born neal
Columbus, Georgia, on May 5tf
1885, was edu Gated at the Slade
school in Columbus, united with
| the Baptist church in 1853, was
married the third day of Decem-
Ger 1856, and died January 1st
1906.
Why say more2 No words Of
praise or love car give added
charm to her many virtues or en-
hance the worth of her long and
useful life, and yet, such words
fall as soothing balm on the
hearts of those who loved her with
love that shall last "beyond the
years of time" What 8 priceless
gift is memoryl When, in voice.
less sorrow, we realize the fact
that our best beloved are with us
DO more, we begin to live in the
past. We call up the face of those
who journied with us so long, and
live over again and again the
scenes in which they shared our
Joys and SORROWS.
Under the influence of this
strange power, which enfolds us
and them IN "silepce love and mys
tery," we thank God that We can
remember, that this the best of
life can be made an enduring
treasure, ever a source of sad yet
sweetest joy.
The husband, children, and de-
voted kindred and friends of this
good woman were the benefciaries
of her virtues and her sacrifices.
She was the engaging center of
this large circle. In many dark
days of trial snd distress, by the
force of her unfailing courage, and
steadfast faith she strengthened
their hands, comforted their
hearts, encouraged them to re-
newed endeavor. and uerved them
for the duty and the struggle each
day imposed. She never lost heart
or hope, never faltered, never
swerved from the path of duty or
sacrifice for the good and happi-
ness Of those around her. Truly
she was a spirit of loving minis
tration to human suffering and
need.
They say "the good die first. )"
Nay! not so. The best of earth's
children, tested and found pure
gold, have lived to a "good age
and made their living a const ant
benediction to sad, and tired, and
desponding souls.
In Mrs. Mealing's sphere as
helpmeet to her. husband, she
magnlfied her wisdom, her pru-
dence, and her devotion. For half
a cen tury she stood by his side,
his rigbtarm and tower of strength.
In bis ministry of fifty years, oft
in physical weakness, oft in men,
tai distress, she was the tender
guardian of his health, the wise
counsellor of his work, his very
inspiration in the long and faith
full service be has given to the
Masters cause.
"Be still and strong,
o man. my brother; hold thy sobbing
breath.
They whom we loved and lost not
long ago
Dwell in the mansions far from NOR
tai woe.
God wipes their tears away"
owe shall shortly know that length
ened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his
friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the fairest bloom his love
can send.
If we could push aside the gates of
life.
And stand within, and all Gods work
ings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
and strife,
And for each mystery could find q
key"

From Pasture to Barn.

Those who advocate the use of dogs
in driving the cows to and from the
pasture may be right, provided they
have the right sort Of a dog, but there
are few dogs that can be trusted to do
their duty properly; none, unless they
are trained from puppyhood. The
average dog consigned TO this work
barks ana generally annoys the ami
mails until they are more or less
frightened, some of them fighting, and
all of :hem running. This running
the cows from the pasture to the barn
does much more injury than generally
supposed, and assuredly makes the
flow Of milk much less. The supply of
milk depends very largely upon the
condition of mind of the COW; if she
is happy and contented, she gives
down her milk freely, and the food she
consumes makes rich milk Of the best
quality; if she is frightened her milk
loses both in quality and quantity.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1906-04-23
Pumpkins in the Corn.

Those who have stock on the farm,
cows, sheep. swine or poultry, will find
the OLD time plan Of planting pumpkin
seeds among the corn a good one to
hold ON to. provided they will harvest
the pumpkins carefully, store them as
carefully and feed them TO the stock
during the winter. Pumpkins are
readily kept through the winter, and
by watching them carefully and using
the speckcd ones first. they will go
through the winter and supply the
stock with a much needed variety
They can be fed to advantage to all of
the stock named, only being careful in
feeding to poultry to chop the pieces
finely after removing the skin. The
pieces seem to be particularly enjoyed
by the fowls when mixed with meat
scraps, and the whole mixed with bran
and moistened with SKINNED milk fed
quite warm.

Points on Pruning Shrubs.

If those who have shrubbery on
their grounds would but remember the
simple fact of the period of bloom ana
that blossoms come on the new growth
they would remember when to prune.
The blossoms on the spring blooming
shrubs are formed on the wood that
was grown after the blooming season
of a year ago, hence if these shrubs
are pruned in the spring we simply cut
off the flower bearing shoots and no
