An Irish Farmer.

In the early part of March,
1856, a native of Ireland arrived
in New York with SO in his pock-
ct. He struck off into the coun-
try, asking at every farm for a
steady job and paying for a meal
and a nights lodging with a few
hours work. He finally found a
place at SIS a month, board with
the farmers family and a room
in the garret. Out of his pay,
in the course of time, he bought
100 acres of land at 81 an acre.
1t was practically new land. He
Guilt a house with his own
hands. a barr with timber on
the land. and, with the help of
his neighbors, dug the bitches
and built the fences. He raised
nine useful sons and daughters
and led a happy life. To-day
any man can get twice the wages
and buy the farm, with all it's
Improvements, at half the price;
only one fourth the period of
saving and waiting is required
of the man who makes the effort
to-day. What comparison is
there between that Irish farmers

his peaceful Sunday afternoons
and the horried life of the under

Salt For Animals.

Says the Minnesota University
Farm Press News" All farm
animals have an instructive crav-
ing for salt. If it is so placed as
to be al ways within their reach,
they will consume just as much
as they need, and no more. 1t
is only when it has been kept
from them for a long period that
there is danger of their eating
too much. 1t is therefore good
practice to keep it in a box or
boxes where they can have ac-
cess to it whenever they desire.
When they are salted, as is the
practice with many farmers, only
once a week, while some may get
enough, others may suffer from
deficient supply. Salt promotes
an active circulation of the blood,
which never becomes thick and
sluggish so long as the supply is
plentiful; it assists digestion. and
is often a preventive of disease.
1t is so cheap that no stock rails
er can afford to deny to his ami
mails all they want of it.

Old RIverman Dead.

Samuel Bryant, aged 90 years,
A months and 21 days, died at
his home, about three miles north
of this city, Friday morning,
March 8, at 1:3O o'clock. \
The deceased was born on
Green river, in Adair county,
and was married in 1874, his
wife having died some three
years since at the age of 81.
Many citizens of Taylor and Adair
counties knew Uncle Sam," as
he was familiarly named, and
knew him as genial, humorous
intelligent gentleman, fond of
sport and as a fisherman of re-
nown. His last fishing trip was
in the summer of 1911, while
nearing his ninetieth anniversary
and with his usual results-a big
string of fish. Possessed of re.
markable strength of body and
power of endurance, coupled
with exceeding good health, he
was enabled to tramp Is or 20
miles day, even after his eighty
ninth year.
The summons came suddenly,
cerebral hemorrhage, which he
survived nine days only.
In his early years, Uncle Sam
took to the river and made
many trips on fiatboats, loaded
with tobacco, from the Green
river section of Kentucky for the
New Orleans market, returning
by steamboat, on which he stok-
ed to the mouth of Salt river,
thence by foot to his home, sew
enty-fve miles distance. The
seventy-fve miles he walked in
one day. On the fiatboat, the
hands were well supplied with the
necessities of life, as we'll as the
luxuries of the times, especially
plenty of those two famous pro-
ducts of Kentucky, corn whisky
and game cocks barrel of
the former and several coops of
the fighters. The grand old time
came on when the game boat IL
ed up for the night. Staple corn
juice in abundance, cock fighting
and old sledge galore. The COM
ic side of river life cannot be ap-
preciated until related by such a
man as Uncle Sam. embellished
with native witicisms and deliv-
cred with a fine sense of the
humorous. We, who know Sam
Bryant best shall ever cherish
pleasant memories of that jolly,
good old man.
Mr.. Bryant is survived by his
sons, j. w. Bryant, of Taylor
county, John Bryant, of Louis
vile; and daughters, Mrs. Han
nah Lee and Mrs. Holmes of Tay-
lor county.-News Journal.
