Better Yields.

In England the average yield Of
wheat runs from 80 to 33 bushels to
the acre. In Germany It average about
% bushels. In the United States the
average for the past ten years has
been about Is bushels. England gets
ordinarily over 40 bushels of oats to
the acre. the United States gets less
than 80. The soil of England and
Germany has been bearing crops cen.

must be due either to the incompe-
tency OF our farmers or to the de-
Utilization of our soil.

Thus things went on for eight

Soft-shelled eggs may be caused by

former is the cause the difficulty may
be righted by supplying old plaster or

A GOOD WOMAN DEAD.

Marion PatforA aud claimed for
It's victim his loving companion.
She was sick about two weeks, and
last "Wednesday morning as the
sun arose in its beauty she, too,
arose tn more beautiful place
than earth, leaving behind many
grief stricken friends.
Besides her husband, who is con-
fined on bed of affliction, she is
survived by four children, the eld-
est lad of IL and the youngest
baby of two years. While her suf-
'fering was intense, she bore it all
without a murmur and said she
was not afraid to die. She was
indeed happy in her suffering.
We will miss her as the years
roll by; never more will we hear
her gentle voice and see her sweet
smile again; we can not hear her
sing as III days gone by; her voice
was often raised in song, but now
1t is hushed in death. She has
left father and mother (who live
in Arkanses) and three sisters and
four brothers. Her father was
with her during part Of her illness.
The church has lost faithful
member, the home kind, loving
mother, the husband devoted
wife and companion whose place
can never be filled. May her dear
children learn to emulate her life
and example 80 they may meet her
in that upper and better world
where parting is no more.
We tenderly laid her to rest in
Flatwoods Cemetery beside her
iarllng babe to sleep the sweet
sleep which none never wake TO
weep. Like the flower, she bloom

Good Roads.

Editor Of the Beacon:
Please let me suggest through
your paper that before we go any
further on the good roads matter,
it should be fixed and determined
that the roads we build shall be
built for generations and not for
months or years. For twenty
years we are to be saddled with a
debt. Let not the period find us
with a debt and no road.
The roads need not be built IN
one summer. Let us go slow and
only one road or part of one road
be an superintendent the whole
forty miles of our territory.
Each mile should be carefully
tested. The initial cost should be
the main cost and maintenance
cost but an incident. Slow and
thorough and careful should be
the watchwords. 3.
