(MESSENGER)

John A. Noel died at his home
near Dunmore, Saturday morning,
after long suffering, aged sixty six
years. On Sunday he was buried
at the Dunmore cemetery, the SER
vices being conducted by the Rev.
Kennison, assisted by Revs. Spon-
augle and swecker. Six of his sons
were the pail bearers. The deceas-
ed was one of our best known citi-
zens. He was born and raised in
Highland County. At an early age
he entered the Confederate army
serving with distinction, having
seen a member of President Jeffer-
son Davis body guard. He was
with President Davis a few days
before the latter was captured and
was granted leave of absence and
given pass. by the Confederate
President. This he priced very
highly and had it in his possession
to the day of his death. After the
war he learned the carpenter trade
and became a most skillful mechanic.
Surviving him is his wife, a
daughter of Colonel B. F. Jackson,
j of Rockingham county, Va, a
daughter and seven sons. Two sons,
Perle and Cliff, of Kansas City, Mo-,
arrived home few hours after their
fathers death.
The Marlinton force of officers
together with the Durbin and Dun
levie officers made a raid on the
liquor business at Dunlevie this
week and quite a number of retail
ers were drawn over the Goals, some
giving bond and others committed
to jail. The men who helped to do
this are to be praisedfor their efforts
in trying to rid our country of these
law breakers.
Two men were arrested here
last week by constable Ruckman,
for selling cocaine, and were taken
to the county Jail. They certainly
we've loaded for bear, as they car
ried something like two thousand
dollars worth of the vile stuff on
their person.
The sec,nd crop of white suckers
is being harvested at the mouth of
Knapp's creek since the recent raise
in the river. Something like two
car loads have been caught there
this year.

1 reply that overcrowding will GER
tainlS not avail. But this is about the
line we may work upon:
Begin early and begin carefully.
For number of weeks would rather
calf should not have quite what. ii
wants to eat rather than to be stuffed
beyond power to assimilate. Not that
a calf should be starved. Give some
milk, and as soon as it is old enough
to chew and digest it begin feeding
some nice hay. Add also a bit OF
buckwheat shorts or not too coarse
wheat bran. Gradually add some to
the milk ration night and morning.
Watch the result. Don't get a calf off
its feed. 1t must be watched all the
way and not pushed too hard and yet
must have enough. That is the way to
make a COW,

CAPACITY OF A cow.

Development of Milk Producing Quail
ties Begins With the Calf.
To give milk a cow must eat and
eat great deal and have the internal
machinery to take care of what she
eats, writes e. L. Vincent in the Ma
tional Stockman. You take IL cow al
ways as slim as a racer and she will
not give much milk, do the best you
can with her. She is made, so far as
her work is concerned, and little can
be done to increase her powers in this
direction.
But how can we make capacity" in
our COWS? Is it safe to crowd a calf
until it is ready to burst, its hide al
ways stretched like a balloon? To this
