FRANCIS NNAkEEE.
 Frances E. Chatiee dsed at his home in East Woodstock, Monday, necem- Der IA. NIT. Chaifee had resided in Woodstock thiF,y-one years, and al the time of ais passing was S9 years of age. Mir. Chaifee was veteran ef the civil war, having been n member of the 18th Connecticut. and that he was a true and loyal soldier Is saying too little of him. As he WAS true, conscientious soldier, so he was an honest and ep- right citizen, and man who held the respect of all who knew him-a good neighhor, and a good friend. Although notambitious in political sense, he was always interested in public affairs. and had strong convictions, and stood for what he considered the wisest peli- cies. He was member of the legisla- lure from Woodstock for the session of ord, Previous to his removal toNood- stock he was resident of Thompson, and it was his custom until last year,
 
 when failing health prevented, to join the procession with Thompsoa's Grand Army men, riding the whole twenty miles. helping to perform thc solemn duties of Memorial Day. Ii was from Thompson that he enlisted in the 18th Connecticut Volunteer Regiment, and it was with the men from Thompson that he stood shoulder to shoulder during his three years service. AS all old veteran who has been honored by an acquaintance with ComradeGhatlee for thirty-fiye years, l am glad to pay him this tribute of esteem. He will be greatly missed and much regretted by his few remaining comrades. Besides wife, MT. chafiec leaves son and daughter and three grandchildren. He has also one sister, who lives in Toi- land. MT. Chaiiee Is the fifth old vet eran to pass away within few weeks, and within a small radius. Surely the time is drawing near when they shall all be in camp across the wide river. The funeral was Thursday at his late residence in East Woodstock.

The entef- tainers, on this occasion, were solun- teers from the English classes Of the High School and Business Depart ment, and their interpretations of the beautiful thoughts of the Nature. poet would doubtless have been refresh- ing to Bryant himself, could he have heard the sweet strains of his fertile brain once again voiced by these young admirers. The excellent delivery, with the ease and grace oi each young lady, was highly complimentary to the En- glish teacher who trained the pupils.
 The literary treat was fully apprecta- ted by the entire school, and IL Is hoped that such another program will again be scheduled for the near future.

 he thsn, for three years, worked for the tate Clarendon Green, learning the trade of carpenter He followed this vocation in Woodstock and vicinity for seven years. His skill K shown by
 the many fine pieces of cabinet work

LESSON IN FARMING.

Arkansas fConway4 Union Tribune: It seems like a nervy thing for & man who Is 5000 in debt and no money on hand. to buy a. farm. but that Is what was done by C. NJ Elem ing of Saline County. Ark, and he succeeded in paying for his farm out of crop proceeds in the space of five years.
 IL was in 1895 that Mr. Fleming bought the 9G-acre sandy hill farm on which he has since lived At that time he was not only 5000 in debt, but had no money and had to be fur nished with team. tools, implements and supplies l. was an uupromising beginning, yet by reason of hard work intelligent planning and good manage ment he paid for this farm in five years.
 Mir. Fleming Is not an allcotton farmer. but believes in diversification He had 6 acres in cultivation, di. yided usually about as follows:
 Ten acres are in cotton, l2 acres in corn, 25 acres in pease for pea hay, followed by oats, which Is cut for hay. 2 acres in watermelons, ? acres in cantaloupes, 2 acres in Irish po- tatoes. ? acres in sweet potatoes, and the rest. or about 10 acres. in peas. part of which are in drills and part broadcast This last ten acres fur. nishes some hay and all the seed for the next year. Peas are also planted between the corn rows at the last cul- tiyation and are hogged down.
 It is Mir. FIeming,s practice to raise all his supplies of hay, corn and meat, and he usually has a surplus of s150 worth of hay to sell every year. The average yield of pea hay Is about one ton per acre. and of cat hay near ly as much, and the price received is usually about S15 per ton.
 Alr. Fleming's land is mostly quite sandy and rolling or slightly hilly. It's fertility is naturally inferior. and t washes badly if given a chance The washing, however, is checked by deep blowing fbreakingl and by the crops of hay which bind the soil particles. He uses all the manure made on his farm and buys some commercial fer. tilezers, particularly for his vege- tables He breaks his land fiat and practices shallow cultivation.
 Mr Fleming is a reading farmer and q man who studies his business. He does not believe that success in farming depends entirely or mainly on main strength and awkwardness. i" but that there is such thing as sci entific farming. He believes in and practices diyersifcation. He also plants his crops so that his work will be distributed throughout the year.
 Mr Fleming has a wife and two small children. He says that his sue cess would have been greater if he had not been troubled so much with i'll health.
 The above is a good lesson. and we deem it a very important lesson.

COTTON SEED PRODUCTS AS
 FEED.

A correspondent to Southern Culti- vator asks: "I have some mules and they go to my cow-stalls and eat the meal and hulls How would this do as feed for them? Would it be bene- ficial for them or injurious? Please let me know in your next issue of the Cultivator"
 To which the editor replies: Got tenseed hulls and meal can be fed to horses and mules. It will be much better to give about four pounds of bran to every twenty pounds of hulls. If hulls were cheap as they used to be
 it might prove an economical feed However. it is best to raise hay and peayiness for your horses and not de- pend upon cottonseed hulls We do not know the effect that continued feeding of hulls would have on the stomach and digestion of a horse, but do not think it would be as wholesome as good hay. A farmer should grow this and not buy it. If you have all your feed to buy you can try the hulls and meal. but the more wheat bran you mix with them the better your mules will thrive"
