OBITUARY,

The death OF X. II. Howard at his home
in Sedgwick June 1, has left a vacant
place not only in the home but also in the
community. He had been a great sufferer
several years, but at last the end came
suddenly.
Mr.. Howard was OF quiet, unassuming
disposition; his virtues shown brightest
in the shelter OF his home. His sympa-
thetic nature and generousIimpulses were
ever quick to respond to the call of the
needy. As long as his health permitted
he was ever to be found where there were
sickness and sorrow, ministering to the
sufferer and comforting the mourner.
When sorrow came to his own life, he
met it with Christian patience and resig-
nation. Only Q wife is left.
The funeral was held at the home, con-
Quoted by brother Odd Fellows. Inter-
ment was in the cemetery at Sedgwick.
June 10. FRIEND.

Two large moose-a COW and a bull
were killed on the Washington County
railroad, three miles east of Wash
ington Junction, by the west-bound pas
senger train last Wednesday night. Dep
uty Warden Shea, of Ellsworth, was noti-
fed, and visited the scene early the next
morning. The moose had walked along
between the rails for half mile, going
east. Before the train struck them. they
wheeled and ran several rods, still hold
ing to the fatal track. The train was run
ming about forty-five miles an hour, and
both animals were badly mangled. The
point where they were struck was on
straight stretch of road, and with the
good-sized moon 1t seems as il they might
have been seen in time to avoid the acct
dent which might have proved serious
for train and passengers as well as for the
moose.

The Woman and the Hoe.

Stories Of successful woman farmers
appear more frequently than formerly
and indicate that an increasing number
Of women are turning to the land. Wom-
an farmers have become numerous
enough to have applied to them the dis
tinctive name of "farmerette." The wom-
an as general farmer has not become
numerous. appearing generally as a spe-
cialist in the orchard, the vineyard, the
grove. the vegetable patch. and in fori-
culture or as raiser Of mushrooms,
bees. pigeons or chickens. Some women
have taken up dairying. Reports Of sue
cess are many.
There is no reason why women, capable,
Industrious and patient, should not make
their living in these or other soil indus
tries. Labor saving machines have null
tiplied at such a rate that the long-sus-
tanned and heavy physical exertion once
required in farm work is not very much
needed now. An executive head is re-
quired; the hands can be hired.
The dreary isolation Of the country,
often so oppressive to city women, has
largely disappeared. The country may
be quiet, but not necessarily lonely.
Country houses may be readily equipped
with modern conveniences. Expert ad-
vice as to soil values. parasites and the
usual rural problems may be easily OBJ
tanned. Markets are accessible and prices
usually profitable, especially for produce
OF extra quality. The "farmerette" may
become an important economic factor
