BELIEVE BILL WILL SUCCEED.
Grounds for Revocation of Charter Con-
sidered Well Founded

While the officers of the Niagara,
Lockport X Ontario Power company
profess to have no fear of the bill which
Albany dispatches say AsSemblyman
Foelker will introduce. revoking the
charter of the above company and the
Love Power canal charter, it is believed
generally that the bill will succeed in
its purpose. The grounds for revocation
OF the charter of the former company
namely. failure to take advantage of
their permission to tap the Niagara river
for imitleSS amounts of water--are con-
sidered as well founded. The Niagara,

DESCRIBES DEATH SENSATION.
Sees Vision with Many Strange and Won
derful Things Revealed.

The sisters at st. Joseph's hospital in
Marinette, Wis, tell of peculiar cir
cumstance in connection with the death
of Mrs Elizabeth Rochon of that city.
Mrs Rochon was brought to the hospital
in the last stages of dropsy. On the night
before her death she fell into a state of
extreme physical depression, sinking
away to the very point of death SO that
her pulse was practically unnoticeable
All night she lay in this condition,
watched by relatives who were awaiting
the end. Suddenly, however, in the
early morning she reused up with a sud
den revival of strength and spoke to
those about her. She said that as she
lay in the comatose state, she seemed to
be on the summit of a great mountain.
When she reached the top she saw many
strange and wonderful beings who told
her that they did not want ner there-at
least not then. The vision finally faded
and the aged sufferer awoke. Rev.
Father Neumeier was called and admin
istered the last sacraments and extreme
JUNCTION. Mrs. Rochon uttered prayer
and in perfect peace fell asleep. In a
very short time she passed away.

BracinE q Fence Post.

Oftentimes it is necessary or polite
to curve the farm fence at certain
point, and those who have built such
fences appreciate the difficulty of set
ting the post at the sharpest point Of
the curve, SO that it will not pull over
Any of the ordinary methods of brac-
ing do not seem to answer the purpose
An excellent brace may be made by
the following plan: Place the post in
position, then dig hole two feet deep
and about six or eight feet from the
post Obtain a heavy stone and fasten
a stout piece of wire to it, long enough
to reach to the post and wrap around
it two or three times. Then bury the
stone in the hole. covering it with the
soil and tramping the soil down tightly.
The other end of the wire is then
wrapped about the post tightly and

Mixed Seeds for Meadows.

Taking one farm with another.
there are few containing the soil nee
essary to grow a profitable crop Of
pure timothy hay, hence it is best to
use mixed seeds. What the mixture
should be depends somewhat on the
locality and the strength of the SOIL
Where clover hay is mainly desired
mixture of alsike clover and timothy
gives splendid results. particularly on
soil that is inclined to be wet Eight
pounds of clover to the acre is the
usual seeding for red clover. though
pounds is usually sufficient As Il rule
there is not enough clover hay grown
on the farm. Valuable as timothy is
for horses, the clover hay is much
more valuable for mixed lot Of stock ::
it suits the COWS, sheep, calves and
lambs better than either timothy or

III Of re-
A neighbor whom we induced to try
this plan several years ago was glad
enough to get rid of one-half Of his

had been robbing him for years; in
the case of two of them they were a
positive loss while the, others gave not
enough profit in the twelve months to
anywhere near pay for the time CON
sumed in caring for them. The eyes
opened by this simple eXpedient of
keeping careful record by weight, of

given period of considerable length.

Good Milking Stool.
The milking stool on the average
farm is of little value. Usually it is

mixer balances himself so that he can
fall readily, carrying the pail of milk
with him, should the COW move quickly.
A stool that will not tip over is readily
made of a small box that is strong.
The box should be about fifteen inches
high, unless the COW is built low, in
which case the box can be three inches
lower. 1t should be from twelve .tC
fourteen inches square to form q com

inside of the box exactly eight inches
from the bottom, then fit bench or
shelf on these cleats, with one end ex-
tending out the sufficient length and
