From this trial 1t will be seen that

the slight difference shown is In favor
of the mixed crop. Had the second

the total yields would have made a

dropped these canes are protected for
the winter by simply bending them
all In one direction lengthwise Of the
row and covering them with earth or
a mulch of some sort. If covered with
earth a furrow may be plowed on
either side of the row and turned
toward it after the bushes have been
bent over and held in place by sod
or something of that sort
The canes are lifted in the spring
and if the winter mulch is left on they
will not need cultivating until after
fruiting. The canes which are one
year old will now produce their fruit
and die, when they should be cut out
and removed. In the meantime five
new canes and no more should be al
lowed to grow in each hill. These
must be pinched back at three feet
and in every way treated as the plants
were the season before.
When n.ulch is not used, constant
shallow cultivation must be kept up
to prevent the bed from drying out.
If stable manure Is put on as a
mulch in the fall it will probably be
fine enough to cultivate in after the
plants have fruited the following sea-

j 1t Is good thing that these q.

to the depleted condition of his soils,
and that they are showing him the
source Of remedy, says the Farm,
Stock and Home. Ones common
sense ought long ago to have revealed
that the land was being robbed. Farm.
ers grew the same kind Of crops on
the same land year in and year out
and then hauled the crops OF ia
market.
We ought all of US, who have not
done 20, to start growing some kind
Of stock that will consume our forage
crops and at the same time yield
plentiful manure. Cattle and sheep
hold the laurels in this regard. Dairy
cattle are never kindly looked upon
by the man who has a shortage OF
labor, and so here the field is usually
left clear to beef cattle and sheep
The time is not far distant when our
western ranges will no longer be able
to supply us with cattle, because the
range lands are so fast being taken up
by small farmers. So far it has not
been found very profitable to main

the sake Of single calf and to milk

Five sheep are equivalent in ma

They can be bought for the same If
not less money. Their wool crop
pays for their years maintenance,
leaving their lambs for profit They
disconcert ordinary farm plans and
arrangements less than almost any
other kind Of stock, and require less
attention, particularly during busy
seasons. These are some Of the rea-
ions why We expect that a great
many will. avail themselves of the
present opportunity to get sheep at
low prices and buy up ten or twenty
yves with which to start flock.

In Memoriam Mrs. Elizabeth Bonham.

sWhen go home it will be evening.
And I shall hear my own dear people sing,
And see the lighted rooms and take my
place.
AS one of them in that sweet time of grace.
When go home shall be very tired
OF Stru ggling for the things that | desired !;
But shall be content to end my quest.
Gaining the best things, peace and love and
rest
With the demise of Mrs. Bonham
passes the last Of that respected name
from community where the Bon
ham had large and active part in
making Grant county history.
Another pioneer mother has laid down
life's burden. another friend has
travelled to that distant bourne from
whence none return Another of
those old Hurricane homes around
which cluster SO many tender
memories disbanded, it's last and
fondest tie broken.
Elizabeth Ann Kilby was born at
Bowling Green, Pike County, Mis-,
souri,, May %, 1882. She was united
in marriage to Alexander Grant Bon
ham, March Is. 1851. Eight children
blessed their union. Two little ones
passed ea1y into the heavenly home.
The husband and father entered into
final rest March IS, 1910. Since that
event Iwo daughters have been
widowed and now this fourth vista
tion to the family in SO brief time
makes mourning indeed. Those left
to sorrow are Charles S., Denver,
Colorado; Lemuel E.. of Park Alaska ;
Nora. Mrs. o. E. Williams. Potosi,
Wis Laura, Mrs Saunders. Crestone,
Colorado; Laura, Mrs. Bishop Lancas-
ter, and Mabel, Mrs. Charles D.
Stevens, Rhinelander, Wis. Neither
Of the sons nor Mrs. Saunders could
be present at the funeral; the latter
being i'll ever since her husband )
death and before.
Mrs Bonham's last illness extend
ed over seven months. Much of the
time she was great sufferer.
Through it all she had the devoted
care of her daughter Laura-who has
been answering in flial duty,
though grief smitten herself And
now with mother gone too, she can no
longer remain where only shadowy
ghosts of past joys haunts her days.
Mrs. Bonham had lived all her
youthful and later life at Hurricane.
She was of a gentle disposition, a
thoughtful and devoted mother. an
affectionate and helpful wife, good
neighbor And the esteem in which
she was held was manifested in the
assemblage at her late residence. and

spoke Of the compan onship Of God

and the tears. And when He walked
with US, He comforted and strengthen

often have we grieved that tender
love by lack of confidence by our un-
willingness to trust And how we
grieve the spirit every day by not &C
cepting the comforter that He promis

The finger of Gods silence is:

This great multi millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition

His misfortune serves as a warning

Every one who suffers with dys-

Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state of the gastric juices.
