Death of Charles Denham.

A citizen OF Union City for thirty
years and one OF the best known travel.
ing statesmen in this end of the State
was Charles Edward Denham, whose
death occurred at his home on Elk
change street Tuesday night, Oct. q,
1913, at $40 o'clock.
Deceased had been unwell for nearly
a year. Some months ago he was
under the care Of surgeon, and as
early as March it was known that he
had cancer OF the stomach, out OF the
power Of medical science to reach. In
July he was confined to bed, and the
end came as release from pain and
sickness endured with fortitude and
patience like the man that he was.
Charles Denham was born in Jack
son, Tenn, in 1856. The family
moved when he was boy to Dresden
Deceased was young man when he
located in'Union City. He was engaged
as local salesman for time and twenty
years ago began his service on the
road, selling coffees, teas, spices, etc,
for we'll known st. Louis wholesale
house, being engaged with Meyer Bros.

Denham was a member Of the Cumber-

was true and loyal. He enjoyed the
companionship of his associates and
loved his friends He was kind and
courtly in manner, generous to a fault

Morrell, died at his home last night,
survived by his wife, infant and mother.
Mr.. Bulloch had been in poor health for
some weeks but his death will come as
sad and sudden shock to his friends

prime of life makes his death all the
harder to bear by those who survive
him.

FATTEN SHEEP FOR MARKET
Gull Animals Can Be Prepared Ear
Iier In Season by Turning Them
Into Rape as Pasture.

All old and such young ewes as the
owner does not desire to keep should
be culled out to fatten short time
before the ram Is turned in with the
breeding ewes. The Gull sheep can be
fattened earlier in the season by turn
ing them into rape field as pasture,
but If you put off too late special
food is required. In pure-bred fiocks
the ewes are often kept until they die
of old age, as their lambs are worth
more than they are, but in a graded
flock it does not pay to keep ewes that
do not have sound mouths. An old
eve is likely to prove unsatisfactory.
In selecting rams the aim should be
to select those that are strong In the
points in which the ewes are weak.
For instance, ewes that have an open
coat and are narrow breasted should
be bred to rams that are strong on
those points. BY this method a very
uniform flock can be established In
a very few years. 1t Is good idea to
turn the ram with the ewes In the
evening after he has been fed and
take him out in the morning before
being fed. A ram should be we'll fed.
Bran, oats, roots of vegetables, make
o good ration with clover as rough.

PROPER CULTURE OF GRAPES
SprIng-Pianted Vines Should Not Be
Allowed to Produce Frult-keep
Out Weeds and Grass.

Spring planted vines should not be
allowed to produce any fruit. as 1t
weakens the roots. A two-year-old
vine, II of vigorous growth. may be
permitted to bear two or three
lunches.
Upon the first appearance of mil
dew (whitish spots upon the leaves)
dust with sulphur. Keep the vines
tied up. Pinch off bearing shoots at
the third leaf from the last cluster
and pinch laterals to one leaf Cul-
tivate the ground between the rows,
the ground should be kept mellow
and free of grass and weeds.
Spread a twoinch layer OF coal
ashes under the trellis. This mulch
will keep the soil cool and moist, the
grapes will be free from dirt and the
fruit will ripen up nicely. Tie paper
sacks over each bunch of the choice
varieties. This is a good practice for
the family use, as the grapes are
much sweeter

three tomato cans Of the same size.
With a nail punch a half dozen holes
in the bottom of each. Then fill all
three cans, one with sand, one with
still clay and the other with rich
loan soil we'll filled with humus.
If such soil as the last cannot be
had, then fill the can with the dark,
rich top soil from the woods lot, after
scraping away the leaves and other
coarse materials. Pack the soil in all
of them down solid and put in all they
will hold. Put these cans of soil in
some place where they will dry out
thoroughly A good place is in the
kitchen behind the stove.
When they are all well dried, pour
half pint of water slowly over the
top of each can of soil. Repeat this,
putting the same amount of water on
each soil, until the water begins to
trickle from the holes in the bottom Of
the cans.
The water will begin to run from
the can containing sand first, and II
this can be placed so that the water
can be caught and measured it can
be told how much less water this sand
will hold than the clay soil, and by
the same method it may be seen how
much more water the soil full of hu.
mus will hold than even a heavy clay
soil devoid of humus.

STRENGTHEN A WEAK CROTCH
Defective Places May Be Braced by
Running Iron Rod Through Two
Limbs of Tree.
(By w. w. ROBBINS. Colorado Agricul-

(By w. w. ROBBINS. Colorado Agricul-
tural Ccllege.)
Many trees have weak limbs and
develop bad crotches. In some cases
these result from injudicious prun-
ing, while often they are the express
sion of the natural habit of the vari-
ETY.. A familiar sight on our streets
is the leaking of the large crotches
of cottonwoods. There is a strain OF
the point where the two large limbs
meet, hence a partial splitting, max
ing an opening from which the sap
exudes. This leakage is unsightly;
furthermore, weak crotches Of trees
are dangerous to life and property.
In most cases weak crotches may
be easily braced.
An excellent method of strengthen
ing a weak crotch is to run an iron
rod through the two limbs which form
the undesirable crotch. A hole Is
bored through the two limbs short
distance above the crotch. This hole
should be made to fit the rod as near
ly as possible; this hole will not In
jure the tree. The rod should have
a large head at one end and be
threaded for large nut at the
other. The rod is inserted and the
nut screwed up tightly. A one-inch
rod will support tremendous strain.
but the size will depend, of course,
upon the size Of the limbs to be
braced

would cost but little and mean much

The local schoolyard might easily be
used for vacation playing and the
sand piles built there. The school
trustees would even be justified in
furnishing the sand from the general
fund. 1t is the duty of public off,
