Obituary.
MRS. LAURA MORSE FULLER.


Mrs. Laura Morse Fuller ended
her earthly journey Christmas morn
ing, Dec, Is, 1907, at her old home,
the residence of her son, Frank
Fuller in Kinnickinnic. where the
funeral was held last Thursday
afternoon, Rev. S. V. S. Fisher con-
Quoting the services.
Mrs. Fuller was a link between
the early part of the nineteenth
century and that of the twentieth.
Both of her grandfathers fought in
the Revolutionary war. AT the close
of that war they settled in Poultney,
Vermont, where on March Is, 1927,
Laura Morse was born. When she
was nine years old her father moved
to Madison, Ohio. Here she attend
ed school and grew to womanhood.
George w. Fuller was a pupil in
the same school. Their acquaint-
ance blossomed into strong attach
ment, which in the autumn of 1847
ripened into marriage.
For three years after their marri
age Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller continued
their residence at Madison, after
which they moved to Southern
Wisconsin, locating near Bel oft.
After they had resided there five
years they removed to Kinnickinnic,
arriving here in 1855, to build a
home, which, has been the residence
of Mrs. Fuller for more than half a
century.
The privations incident to the
life of settlers in new country were
their lot, but hand in hand huS-
band and wife met these hard
ships brayely and worked out their
problems together, until in the
winter of 1866, when Mr.. Fuller
was killed by the falling of a shed
weighted with snow, and Mrs. Fuller
was left with farm and a number
of children to face these problems
alone. From this task she did not
shrink, but assumed the burden
and went heroically forward.
Hers was a Christian home from
the outset, for she had made a
confession of Christ when a school
girl eleven years old. Mr.. Fuller
was converted in the great revival
of 1858. After that the home was
more Christian, where husband and
wife were of like mind.
For three-score years an d ten her
loyalty to her Lord was tested and
strengthened. Her children rise up
to bless her teachings and her eX-
ample, to praise her virtues, to hon
or her precepts and embalm her
memory in Christian living.
She leaves five children, three
sons-Chas w, Frank NJ, and
George w. Fuller, all Of Kinnickin-
mic, and two daughters Emma
Kirkland of Lake Arthur, La, and
Miss Alta Fuller of Kinnickinnic.
Besides these children she leaves
a brother, George H. Morse of Oak
land, California.
Her remains were buried in Kin
nickinnic cemetery beside those of
her husband. Her sons and nephews
were pail bearers. Xxx

Buckwheat Cakes.

Like a rainbow in a drouth comes
the joyous tidings that the buckwheat
crop this season is a "humdinger." It
is greater than for years. What a
soothing, comforting sound this news
has. It puts u troubles to sleep.
What care we for a shortage in coal,
in rye, in meat-have we not the fes-
tive, brown and palatable buckwheat
fapjack to cheer us through the long
days of winter? The cake is crisp
and delicious. How it melts on the
tongue when coated with butter or
maple syrup-or both. It is a cake for
the rich as well as the poor, and I'm.
less a few kernels of ground corn are
sifted in to make it digestible, it is a
cake for the physician as well.

DAIRY. DOTS AND DAsHEs.

A hand separator well taken care of
will last for a generation.
The man that owns a hand separ-
ator can feed warm skimmilk to his
stock.
The average persons idea of clean
liness corresponds with everyday
conditions and conventences.
A COY so MIXED that she does not
enjoy the operation will soon retire
from the business of giving milk.
Generally the failure to make dairy
ing pay is due more to inefficient man
agment than to poor cows.
In purchasing q. cow for butter and
milk do not be carried away by the
breeding of the animal, but see that
she has individual merit.
The application of elbow grease may
be di~sagreeable, but it insures clean
milk, clean separators, clean butter,
and generally a clean reputation.
A gallon Of 30 per cent. cream
weighs about eight pounds and FIVE
ounces. II 1t weighs less than that, it
will surely test less than 30 per cent.
It is better to milk the COWS before
feeding them. as they will then keep
more quiet. Besides the dust from
the hay or the odor from the silage
and other things will not get into the
milk that is being drawn.

AN ssENT FACTOR.
The Dairy Woman and the Part She
Has Had In Developing the
Dairy Cow.

1t is doubtful If any of the valuable
breeds of dairy COWS could have been
produced without the help of women.
That is. these breeds have been
brought to their high state of perfec.
ton because the people that have
had the care of them for centuries
have been mostly women. The cows
of the Channel Islands and the cows
of Holland have been under the super.
vision of women for so long a time
that "the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary"
Imagine, says Farmers Review,
some of our western cowboys trying
to develop a breed of dairy WI Any
dairy breed they might evolve would
have the ability to u a four-minute
gait and to scale fences with little
trouble. The COW naturally partakes
something of the nature of the one
that has charge of her. Kindness has
made the Dutch COW and the Jersey
COW kind. Harshness would have
made them into animals that few
could milk. Gentleness has made
them of a quiet disposition, inclined
to chew the cud in contentment, in a
feeling Of perfect security. This con-
tentment has made the work of the
mammary glands easy, and great capa-
cities for the production of milk and
cream have been evolved.
The United States is little likely to
have a distinctive breed of dairy
COWS. In the main, our cows here
are in the care of men, especially in
the larger dairy establishments. On
the farms where women milk that is
the only part they have in dairying.
Men have most Of the care of the ami
mails.
The dairy woman is best adapted
to take care of the dairy COW. If
more women take up dairying as an
occupation it will be a good thing for
the dairy interests. They appreciate
the value of the fine points in dairy
ing, and the fine points are what reg
ulate the value of the dairy output.

Plan Of Cow Stall.

but l believe the increase in milk Is a
reward for allowing more space and
convenience to each 20
The cut shows the kind of stall
which l prefer, writes a correspondent
of the Missouri Valley Farmer. The
rack, a, is of hardwood 80 inches high,
with the Stats wide enough SO COW can
thrust her nose through up to her
eyes.
The bottom Of the rack is 10 inches
wide, extending into the stall toward
the COW. The feed box. b, slides
through an opening in the stall on the
barn floor. 1t can be drawn into the
feedway, cleaned out and a new feed
put in without being disturbed by the
COW.
The halter strap, c, is just long
enough to allow the 20 to lie down
comfortably. The gutter, d, is eight
inches lower than the stall floor
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneeling and
when she gets up she will move back
ward SO that she car look through the
rack. The length and width of stall
can be made to suit the COWS.

"Hi!" he cried, gesticulating wildly

"Whoa!" commanded the driver.

concern to climb down from his high

Meanwhile the funny mar stood
