Facts For the Farm Home.


Ohio has law compelling nursery
men, or those engaged in growing
trees, vines or shrubs, to file applica-
ton with the state agricultural de-
partment before July of each year
for the inspection of such stock. Dis
posing of uninspected stock renders
the owner subject to fine.
Most farmers who have tried it are
becoming to believe that the increased
value of food by cooking is not worth
the trouble.
The Minnesota experiment station
has originated new variety of winter
rye, called Minnesota No. 2. This rye
was obtained by selection from the
Swedish rye and is an exceptionally
high yielder. The average yield upon
the station grounds for the last eight
years is 404 bushels per acre. One
field of 10 acres yielded forty-eight
bushels per acre last fall
1t is estimated that 1856, ,597, 600
bushels of corn were raised in the
United States in 1908, valued at $1.51S.-
424OOo.
1t has taken nearly thirty-five years
of conscientious effort for breeders to

finished animal that it is today.

THE DAIRYMAN.

Provide good milk pals. There are
a great number of patent milk pals on
the market that prevent filth from
falling into the milk. Strainer top
pals are quite extensively used and
are very effective in keeping out for
eign matter.
Regularity In Work Of Dairy.
Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to the regularity in all dairy
work. The COW is creature of hab-
its. The more regular the attention
given her the better work she will do
in the dairy. Teach the boys to be
kind and gentle to the cows, to feed
them properly and with regularity
Try to make the cows contented as
possible. Gentle treatment. good feed
ing and regularity are the three re-
quirements in handling dairy cows
Remedy For Cowpox.
Oxide of zinc ointment rubbed on
the cows bag morning and night is a
very good remedy for cowpox. The
disease is carried from COW to COW on
the hands of the mixer. So when
the disease is in the herd the mixers
should wash their hands carefully
after milking each COW. Do not use
the milk from affected cows until they
are cured.
For Kicking Cows.
To cure cows of kicking when being
MIXED dairyman says a remedy
which has proved effectual without a
single exception is simply clean lard
About fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore the COW is milked the first time
the lard should be applied to the teats,
and when through milking wipe the
teats perfectly dry with soft. dry
cloth and apply the lard again. This
was usually found necessary for about
Eve or six milkings. Many mixers
have bad habit of wetting their
fingers when milking, and when the
teats of young cows are left in this
condition, especially in winter time,
they get sore. On the other hand,
lard heals or takes away the soreness
that is so natural, caused by the ac-
tion of rough, hard hands upon the
teats that are not accustomed to the
milking process.

blespoonful Of lard, warm for just a
minute on the top of the stove and

declared insane and will be sent
to the asylum at Lexington as soon

= After an illriess of many months
Mrs. John Picklesimer, one of the
oldest citizens of this place, quietly
passed away at the residence of her
son, Fred, on last Saturday after
noon, November 18th. Several
months ago she was stricken with
paralysis, and from this seizure she
never recovered. The funeral, with
in Pine Hill cemetery,
occurred on Sunday afternoon. -
Mrs. Picklesimer was member
of the Christian Church, and the
funeral service was conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Sword, OF that church.
Revs. Reid and Hanford, OF the two
Methodist Churches, were present
and participated in the service of
the occasion.
The deceased is survived by a
husband and five children, all OF
whom were present. The children
are Mrs. Lucy Damron, James,
George and Fred, OF Louisa, and
John Henry. of Franklin Furnace,
Ohio.
Mrs. Picklesiiner was 10 years Of
age. and before the falling of the
stroke which finally caused her
death, she was busy and active. She
was kindly woman, ever ready in
her days Of health and strength to
visit and help the sick and poor
The very large number which at
tended to pay the last tribute Of
respect to the venerable woman was
a striking evidence of the estima-
tion in which she was held by those
who knew her.

One of the prettiest and most
appropriate ante-nuptial receptions
ever given in this city was that
held by Mrs. II. G. Wellman on
Monday evening last in honor Of

also fell the bouquet carried by the
bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richmond did not
have long to tarry with their guests.
The bride changed her lovely we'd
ding gown of crepe de chine, cut
en- princesse. for beautiful travel
ing costume of mahogany brown
cloth, and shortly before two O'Clock
the couple crossed to Fort Gay, ac-
companied by many of the guests,
and took the train for the home of
the groom. Mr.. Richmond, by the
way, is promising young civil en-
gineer, member of an old and
highly reputable family of Virginia,
He is in the employment of the
United States. He is inspecting en-
gineer in the construction of the
dam at Chapman, and stands we'll
with his superiors in office. He is
a young man of irreproachable char
acter. After brief visit to Mr..
Richmond's family the couple will
return to Louisa.
The presents with which the
bride was favored were remarkable
for number, beauty, variety and in
trinsic worth. Solid silver and cut
glass sparkled and cleaned on ev-
cry side and beautiful things OF
many other materials were display
ed, mute but tangible evidence of
the high regard in which the bride
is held by all who know her.
Have you read 'The Lady of the
Decoration" That's book, but
the lady of the decorations which
won the admiration of all who saw
the decorations which so beautified
the wedding of Wednesday was Mrs.
James A. Hughes, of Huntington.
Her effort to please her friends and
their guests was eminently success
full and worthy of all praise.
The foregoing was indited by one
who has known the young bride
from her childhood, and to him its
writing was labor of love. Her
amiability, her loveliness of person
and character, have all won his high
regard. May no tear of sorrow ever
dim her laughing eyes. May care
be ever an unknown quantity in the
problem of her life. May all that's
best be hers unto the end.
