At His Home in this City
Yesterday.

The people of this city were great
ly shocked yesterday to learn of the
death of Lemuel M. Rafferty,, who
passed away at his home in Warren
at three O'Clock in the morning.
after lingering illness.
Deceased has been the manager Of
the large Woodward farm since it
was opened up way back in the early
eighties. and the work of developing
this farm was in large measure en-
trusted to him. He was man OF
striking appearance, one born to
command, yet within a rough and
brusQue exterior. was hidden a very
gentle and tender heart.
In the family circle he appeared as
his best. and his love and devotion
to those who were near and dear to
him, was one of the beautiful char
acteristics of his life. He was a
man of the strictest integrity .and
honor, and valued very highly faith
fulness and devotion to duty on the
part of his employees. He was al
ways just and fair in his dealings
with all men, and labor troubles
we're almost unknown on the
bonanza farm which he managed so
long and successfully.
OF life's troubles he had had his
share. His first wife and children
died a number of years ago. His
second wife is now left widow with
two children to mourn the death OF
husband and father. .-'s~,
Mr.. Rafferty, was 81 years of age.
The funeral services were held at the
home. at O'Clock this afternoon,
under the auspices of the Oddfellows
and Nights of Pythias lodges, to
which deceased belonged. AN impres:
sive funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. A. A. Meyers. Of the Methodist
church, and prayer offered by Rev:
Stroh, of the Presbyterian church:
The remains were then escorted To

Stockholders of the Warren Creamery
Hold their Annual Meeting and are
Banqueted by Commercial Club
were given by Supt. Robert.
son, L.Lamberson, Judge Grinde
*~* land and others.

The stockholders OF tne warren
Creamery held their anual meeting
at the opera house on Tuesday after
noon, and elcetedof1icers for the en-
suing year. The number of direc-
tors Was decreased from seven to
five, as it was found difficult with so
many to get a quorum to- transact
business. The officers elected are as
follows: J. L. Olson, president; NJ.
L. Larson. vice presidents; H. J.
March. secretary and-..C. w. Abra-
hanson, treasurer. These off1cres
together with J. W. Thomas. con-
stitute the. board of directors for the
ensuing year. According to the
reports presented at the meeting, the
creamery has done a very successful
and satisfactory business during the
pats year. The association has had
a very efficient buttermaker in Mr..
l.. A. Bueche. and the top market
price has been paid 20 farmers for
cream.
After the business meeting the
stockholders were rendered a splendid
banquet by the Warren Commercial
Club. Supt. Robertson. OF the
Crooktson Experiment Farm. was
present and gave very excellent
talk on dairy matters. He strongly
urged farmer to SOW some clover this
year, even though the price OF seed
may be high. Glover will rid the
land of fodo weeds, fertilize the land,
put in shape to grow better crops of
small grain when the sod Is SUBJ
plowed under. and as feed
for COWS clover, whether In pasture
or as hay, will increase materially
the production of cream and make
dairying success. He advised farm
ers to take good care of the cows
they already have, and make the
most of them. before looking abou.
for improved breeds. He advocated
winter dairying as the best andmost
profitable for this section, and there
for advised farmers to have their
COWS come inin the fall as far as posi-
BILE. ..
Mr.. Lamberson was next called
upon and gave very practical taAes
reciting his experience in growing
clover on the Riverside farm.
Clover should be grown for it's feed
ing value for cattle. horses and
sheep. for it's fertiltzing value in
supplying the soil with nitrogen and
for it's money value. Last year the
grew a patch of clover the first cut
ting of which yielded three ton of hay
to the acre. This hay off baled and
sold at the market price would
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1908-02-06

nave nettec- $50 per ton, or $50 per
acre. The feeding of the hay to his
COWS Increased very perceptibly the
flow OF milk and the production of
cream. He had not as yet made any
extensive test as to what clover
would dowhen turned under to be
followed by small grain, but he was
sure the results would be very salts
factury. The growing of clover he
considered as very essential to sue
cessfuls agriculture in this valley.
Mr.. Lamberson has made quite a
study Of the habits and nature of
the clover plant, and the different
species, and from the information he
had, he stated that the plant was
not a biennial, that Is would die at
the end of the second years growth,
as many suppose, but was of a
more permanent nature. Mr..
Lamberson waxed very enthusiastic
on the clover subject and all the
farmers present promised to SOW
some clover next spring.
Judge Grindeland was called upon
and at the start called attention to
the necessity of fighting weeds and
enforcing the state laws in relation
thereto. The dairy business would
help us to cope with the weed
problem. Next he launched into an
eloquent eulogy of the COW and closed
by q tosSt drank to her cowship. I:
County attorney Brown was next
called upon and gave an eloquent
address in which he called attention
to the wonderful development of the
United Sattes. Every epoch in our
history has had its great problems to
solve. Washington's time had its
problems. Lincoln's time had it's
great questions. and so to day there
are grav questions confronting the
nation, questions as to whether the
man or the dollar shall be supreme.
But the questions of today are no
more difficult than were those of
the past. and now, as in the past.
leaders will be raised: up to accom-
plish the task. =. :.
Mr.. G. A. TuTlar and Mr.. J. w.
eThomas also amde brief remarks
that We're we'll received.
The first annual meeting of the
Warren Creamery association was a
big success, and much good will no
doubt reult from the many encourag-
sR words spoken.
