jokes; very little of it sad pathetic. When
the chief widows turn came there pathos in
her voice, though she gave no other sign of grief.
Turning her motherly face to the grave, she sat
there and talked to Wobeh's spirit as naturally as
If she were looking into his face. Nobody needed
to cross question her.
There was nothing extraordinary for the next
two days On the first day the mourning women
were taken to the creek and washed in order that
they might begin to dress up for the final feast.
On the second day the men of the town
sembed under the big palaver tree and individu-
ally sworn to be loyal to the town. The oath
administered by making the drink from
bowl of milkish fluid which supposed to kill
the man if he was nsincere. On this day, Also
the men brought in large quantities of frewood
and the busy threshng and cleaning
rice and pots
Then came the third and greatest day-the
slaughter of the bullock and the great feast. So
far as l could learn there is no sacrificial idea
involved in the ceremony the slaughter is solely
for the purpose of providing for joyful banquet.
The big bullock led to vacant place
the grave, just at sunrise, and securely tied down
on its side. Its throat was then cut, the wind
pipe being severed, and the animal slowly bled to
death. 1t was 20 minutes before the animal
ceased to struggle, but its tail had been severed
long before this being the especial perquisite of
the selected butchers.
The carcass then skinned and King Sow
sat in his leopard chair while the bullock cut
up He kept careful watch to see that not
of meat was taken by anybody. Two
large brass kettles and large basket were placed
in front of him and in these were placed the in
ternal organs and the choicest cuts-the kings
meat. Now and then one of the butchers would
overlook some small portion. but the king over
looked nothing; he had the error promptly recti.
fed. Altogether he received about one-third of
the bullock. The remainder was cut up and dis
tributed among the families, to be cooked; posi-
lively part of the animal except the hide and
horns was discarded. There was not quite enough
to go around, SO the king ordered dog killed to
make up the deficiency

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED.
BY Boiling Grease-skin All Came OF
One Side of Face and Head
Thought Her Disfigured for Life.
Used cuticura: No Scar Left.

"My baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and thought
the baby was disfgured for life. I
used about three boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and it was wonderful how
it healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin
is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, /,

efforts to watch every movement.
When it finally ceased its struggles
there was chorus of "Ah." followed
by some excited talking. 1t was ex-
planned to me that when chicken
dies with it's feet in the air 1t is
sign that the nephew has been true
to the king and has not meddled Win
his women. In this case the chicken
had died on its side.
Then another chicken was brought
for another nephew to kill. 1t like
wise died on its side and there was
another chorus of excited grunts A
third chicken was killed by niece,
with the same result; but the fourth,
killed by another niece, stopped with
it's feet in the air. The crowd went
wild, caught up the girl and marched
around the town with her on their
shoulders. Wobeh had one relative
that had been true.
This ceremony was f ollowed an
hour or two later by that of eating
the chickens, together with rice
cooked in yellow palm oil. The food
was placed at the head of the grave
and Wobeh's head wife presided over
the pot. All the children squatted
about on the grave and the other rel
atives were assembled around it.
King Sow had a good many remarks
to make before he called up the eld-
est son and motioned for him to take
the painful of rice which the widow

had held out. Before eating It he made certain
promises relative to peace in the family. Each OF
the relatives was called out in turn and required
to go through the same performance. Old King
Sow kept his ears open and whenever he was
not satisfied with a given promise he arose and
cross questioned the relative like country law
yer until he made him promise what he wanted.
Parts of this ceremony were exciting; at times
there were outbursts of laughter at one of Sow's

CREAM ON
THE FARM
By EDWARD ii. WEBSTER.


The dairy industry is not the main
business of farmers, but rather Il side
issue forced upon them by adverse
conditions or aggressive creamery
agents. The farmer seldom gives Sc
riOuS attention to the careful handling
of his cream. He has the cows ana
the separator, and the market that
takes his cream asks but little Of him
IN the way of quality. Naturally but
little has been done to keep the prod
uct pure from the time the COW is
MIXED. Now. however. times are
changing rapidly in this respect. The
crcancricS are requiring quality tests
to be made of the patrons cream and
are paying for it ON that basis. This
is going to bring the farmer face to
tace with Il new proposition. lie must
learn how to care for his cream in
such Il way that he may deliver it to
the creamery in perfect condition.
The milking is the starting point of
most Of the trouble The mixer sits
down with Il pail open ut the top and
begins to milk. Any dust straw or
manure that may be hanging to the
udder is gradually dslodgcd and finds
its way into the milk. Thus while
thc dairyman milks he unconsciously
plants-he plants the seed of destruc
ton in the very product he is going to
market. The destruction begins at
once and is carried on very rapidly so
long rs fine DrOlpr tQmDprat JrpS are
maintained.
The remedy would naturally suggest
itself. Stop the dirt from getting into
the milk. This can be done easily and
quickly. If the mixer will carry with
him damp cloth and carefully wipe
off the uddcr and the parts immedi-
atcly around it the trouble will to II
great extent be prevented. All of the
coarser particles Of dirt will be rubbed

Some of these horses are not worth

bought under dealers eyes in the horse
market, given two months feeding
and sold for double the money to the
same men who let them slip past their

is needless to say they are good horses.
Their. first price looks good. but the
profit in feeding them is enormous.
