Almira Benton Robinson
from Stanstead Journal

Once again we are called upon to an
nounce the passing away of one of our
friends and od-time residents, Mrs. L. r.
Robinson, of R1ck Island, Que.
Almira F. Benton was born at Water
ford, VT, July 20, 1887. She was IA daugh-
ter of Reuben G. Benton and Amira
Fletcher Her father was prominent
citizen of Caledonia county and repre-
sented his constituency in the State Sen
ate at one time. The deceased was edu-
Gated in the public schools of her native
state, finishing a st. Johnsbury Acad-
envy. She received a teacher certificate
at the age of fourteen years, and taught
at johnson and Morrisyile; also one year
in Cincinnati, Ohio, drawing and paint
ing being among the subjects in which
she specialized
On October 9, 1865, she was married to
Ii. r. Robinson at johnson, Vt, coming
directly to Rock Island. She was the
last member of family of four-two
brothers and two sisters. Her brothers,
Leut.-Col. r. C. Benton and Lieut.. G.
ii. Benton served throughout the Civil
War
The late Mrs. Robinson is survived by
three daughters, Mirabel, Alice NJ. and
Katherine.
Most people knew the deceased as a
woman of high intellectually and strong
character, but intimate acquaintances
knew of a gentler side to her nature.
She was very appreciative of any little
kindness, that might be shown her. With
her, integrity was watchword. While
possessing much business acumen she
was honest almost to fault and consid-
crate of the interests of others. Few
people are as we'll informed as was the
late Mrs. Robinson; she read much and
did not lose her interest in public affairs
until she lost consciousness. The de-
ceased had been in failing health year
or more; her final illness lasted five or six
weeks, and was tull of suffering. She
became unconscious early Saturday morn
ing, Dec. II h, and passed away Sunday,
Dec. 29th at IL a. III. The funeral took
place at her late residence Tuesday at 2
p. M, Rev. II. f. Hallett officiating. NJ.
Chas. n. Hill acted as director, and the
bearers were Messrs. Jas. A. Gilmore,
f. w. D. Melloop. 3. F. Buttertield, S.
B. Telford, II. I. Ball, j. G. Holland.
During these years Mrs. Robinson has
been the centre of an attractive home,
elevating and enjoyable, preparing her
daughters for honorable and useful lives,
and now gone to join that portion of her
family in the spirit world. There they
will gladly welcome her, but we feel she
will make ready for her dear children
now left with the same loving care she
made ready for their homecoming here
in the pleasant home they have had so
many years.
The wonderful beauties of that new
land are now revealed to her and in Gods
own time they will all look upon the
glorious sight together, and journey again
with her side by side, where none ever
grow weary, and there is no move divid-
ing of the ways. We can surely feel,
"She has gone to share the holy rest that
marks life well spent"

Of fodder, 1t is important to observe
the tassel of the stalk to see that it
is strong, symmetrical and is we'll de-

of disease.
The stalk from which the ears are
taken should be we'll rooted in the
ground. upright strong and vigorous,
and any evidence of disease or abb

Only ears that are well silked and
that are thoroughly covered with the

lect ears bearing abnormally devel-

If the ear contains an unusual
amount Of husk it is a sure sign of
coarseness and will show up badly in
next years crop.
The shank bearing the ear should
be short and not over an inch or
an inch and a quarter in diameter,
and those ears pointing downward
are the most desirable. These shed
the rain and thus preserve the grain
while those ears which stand upright
or nearly so, naturally catch moisture
which trickles down into the grain
and causes it to rot.
AS to the number of rows and
grains on the ear, these will vary
with the variety, but in most standard
varieties they run from 16 to 20, al
though they may run as high as "a
and still conform to standard.
If the number runs below IA the
ear should be discarded The rows
should run straight from butt to tip
and those ears containing wavy rows
or rows that become mixed at any
point and lose their identity are not
to be taken.
Do not select ears that are much
larger at the butt than at the tip.
The cob of the perfect ear should be
perfectly straight and uniform in cir
conference
The grain should be rather wedge
shaped but symmetrical and well
formed and not too long The tip
of the ear should be perfectly COW

of making any selection, why not carry

those stalks which, although they may

next season.
Seed corn selection is one of the
most important details of growing the
crop. 1t must be undertaken in a
systematic manner, because slipshod
and uncertain methods will only re-
suit in disappointment and failure.
Really seed corn should be raised on
specially prepared ground from pedi-
greed seed, and this work should have
been undertaken at planting time last
spring. However, a good beginning in
the selection of seed can be made now.
When the corn is thoroughly ripe
, in the field the selection should be
made by taking row at a time and
picking only those ears which come
up to certain standard fixed before
hand.
farmer must make up his mind in
advance whether he wants large,
coarse stalk with the ear high from
the ground, or smaller, stout stalk
with the ear lower down.
If he desires large ear with
coarse grains, or a medum-sized ear
with the grains compactlv set, he must
make his selections accordingly.
Right here, however, the selector Is
warned against a very common mis-
take-that is picking ears of abnor-
NAL size or appearance II he wants
a large ear with coarse and loosely
set grains he may find an occasional
ear bearing these characteristics in a
very marked degree, abnormally so in
fact. but it would be mistake to
select such an ear because the ten
dency will be to increase variation and
when these variations run to excess,
they are pretty sure to produce I'M
desirable qualities.
1t would be just as great a mistake
If the selector is looking for a medium
sized ear with closely set grains to
select an understood ear with the alb
normally sized grains, for the reason
above given. 1t is always wise to
stick to the medium specimens, hav-
ing the desired characteristics, as bet
ter results will always follow such
selections.
1t is a good plan to select seed from
stalks of stout, healthy growth which
have made uniform progress during
the season and that are well provided
