DEATHS AND FUN ERALS
MRS. MARY LEGGRTT.

Blood poisoning, caused by a small
scratch received on one of her fingers
Tuesday of last week, was responsible
for the death of Mrs Mary Leggett,
aged 73 years, Monday at her home,
1884 North Cherry street. Atothe time
the scratch was sustained Mrs Leg
gett paid no attention to 1t, but later
physician was called. 1t was then
discovered that blood poisoning had
already set in and since that time and
up to the time of her death the de-
cease suffered considerably.
Mrs. Leggett, who was the wife OF
Sutton Leggett, came to Canton about
twelve years ago, accompanied by ner
husband, who is now in his 83d year
Beside her husband she is survived
by two sons, George H. Leggett, for
mer president of the city council, and
John Leggett, both residents of this
city, and one daughter, Mrs. Clara
Sanders, living in Portland, Oregon.
She is a sister of DR.. Tressel, of AL
lance.

Large or Small Flocks Of Hens. !.

The difficulty with large number
of fowls is to learn the source from
which to procure other food than
grain. To prepare large amount of
table scraps requires a building and
utensils in which to cook the food
These preparations mean an outlay
which the farmer is not willing to
incur. The table scraps consumed by
the small flock would otherwise be
wasted or fed in some less unprofit-
able way, says the Mirror and Farm
er. For large flock this food must
be prepared and this costs extra la
Dor, at least. 1t is plain, then, that as
labor Is the heaviest item of ex-
pense a hen that is a member of a
large flock, although she may lay the
same number of eggs every year, can
never give the same profit as when
she is a member of a small flock. II
the farmer has plenty of time on his
hands, or has members in the family
that viii take an interest in the flock
the table scraps may be prepared In
such manner that they may be very
profitable and save many penny
where the farmer would have to pur-
chase grain.

ROCKWELL RESIGNS
AS PROBATE JUDGE

Columbus, O., Nov. 2.-David l..
Rockwell, the Democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor, last night tele-
phoned to Chairman w. L. Finley, of
the state committee, that he had mail
ed his resignation as probate judge Of
Portage county TO Governor Harris, to
take effect Immediately.
This action is taken to obviate any
question as to the legality of the votes
cast for him for the Office to which
he now aspires. There is statute
providing that no votes cast for a
judge, except for another judicial Of
flee, may be counted for him. At the
time of his nomination the question
was raised, but as it did not apply to
his selection as candidate, the mat
ter was dropped.

the cellar windows can be such. that
the volume OF intiowing cold air can
be only enough to keep down the gem
eral temperature to below 40 degrees.
This is low enough for several varl-
eties of apples. In fact, few quite
soft varieties seem TO keep better
near 40 than near 30, though the data
on this point are not yet extensive.
The barrels in which the apples are
stored should be hzided and kept in
dry part of the cellar Many farm"
ers leave their barrels of apples un,-
headed, with the result that the air
is constantly drawing the moisture
out of the apples. This is now recog-
nized as detrimental to the long keep
ing of the apples.

USEFUL SOIL GERMS
Conditions Favorable to Growth to
Certain Desirable Forms Of
Bacteria,

SoShVIlas
An intimate relation exists between
the fertility of a soil and it's bacter-
ial life. 1t is therefore important to
know the conditions of the soil which
are most favorable to the rapid devel-
opment Of soil bacteria. for upon
these will depend plant growth. Acid
soils are infertile because the soil
bacteria cannot grow in them. Lime,
when applied to land, assists in the
decomposition of organic matter In
the soil, but indirectly. Lime neu-
tralizes the acidity Of the soil and
renders it more favorable to the de
velopment of soil bacteria, which are
the true agents for the decomposition
of organic matter. A very fertile soil
may be so water logged as to be all
most entirely unproductive. Why?
The excessive amount of water cuts
of to a large extent the2supply of air
which is required by the bacteria.
Muck beds are rich In nitrogen, and
often contain considerable phosphoT-
GUS and potassium, but they will not
produce good crops. Make them a fit
habitation for soil bacteria. that is,
drain them and correct the acid con-
dition and they become heavily pro-
ductive. Acids in the soil may also
bring into solution minerals that have
poisonous effect upon crosp as for
example, compounds of iron and alu-
nina. The whole difficulty must be
met by overcoming the injurious eff
fects of soil acids. But Nature has
provided a cheap neutralizer Of acid
soils.
Lime in some of it's forms is the
most economical 1t exists in several
available forms; it may be had az
quicklime, hydrated lime, air-shaked
lime, and finely ground limestone

about a soil condition which will fa-
vor the growth Of bacteria friendly
to maximum crop production.

WINTER EGG PRODUCTION
Fowls Need Room for Exercise and
Care Must Be Taken With
the Food.

"A writer in the Indiana Farmer
gives these points for raising eggs in
winter
You must have early hatched pull
let's or strong, healthy one-year old
hens.
Give plenty of room in well-venti
lated houses.
Never expose fowls in blustery,
snowy weather.
Feed regularly nitrogenous foods
rich in material for egg production.
Have runs well Uttered with straw
material on which to feed grains,
causing the fowls to scratch for
their food
Breed every year from the strong
est, best-developed fowls and espe-
cially from those of good laying quail
ties
Do not at any time overfeed your
fowls, give just enough to have them
clean it all up nicely.
Always treat the flock with kind
ness. Excitement does them harm;
have them as tame as pets.
Cleanliness throughout all their
quarters. If vermin infest the prem
ises they will rob you of eggs.
Do not overcrowd. Better is hens
in house large enough for 20, than
Is hens in house fit only for Is.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
covers somewhat the same ground
as follows: 'Tf you are observant,
among your hens you will notice that
the busiest ones are almost invari-
ably the best layers. Those that
jump first from the roost and begin
to hustle about for food will be
found, IL IN a laying condition, on
the nest in two or three hours. Civ
ing the fowls chance to work. and
making the winter time summer-like
as far as possible is what brings up
the total profits for the year. The
farmer who is caring for the dairy
COW with view of getting a profit
able yield of winter milk, sees that
she is we'll fed with milk-producing
feeds and kept in comfortable quar-
ters. Take the country over, how
many farmers are there who have
their poultry on a good paying basis,
or are making any effort to place it
there? l doubt if there is one in 10.
There are probably more who are
making an effort, but much of this
is in vain. Then there are some
whose poultry pays, yet the owners
do not realize that such is the fact,
for the reason that they keep no ac-
count.
Hens to give profitable results,
must be given care and attention and
fed regularly those foods which con-
tain the properties necessary fo;'
their welfare. Very many seem to
have an idea that hens will not lay
much in fall and winter any way:
that because they produce well in
the spring and summer they will
rest the remainder of the year; be-
lieving, too that it is out of the ma
tural laying season. This may be
true with some breeds and fiocks, but
not with our pure and well-bred
utility fowls. A bird that is bred
from a laying strain and Is matured
and of laying age will lay in the
fall and winter, and a good supply Of
eggs too. If we make their winter
life as near as possible like that
which they live in spring and sum
mer."
