THE PURE SEED PROPOSITION
WORTH LOOKING INTO.
The Alarm is Sounded to Look After
Good Seed Early.

The pure seed proposition is worth
while looking into if you have any
land to seed or plant this spring 1t
is reported that there are great many
districts in the Missouri Valley coun-
try, as well as in other parts of States
west, south and east, that are not we'll
supplied with good terminating
quality of seed. The alarm is sounded
to look out for good seed early. This
is most excellent advice under all cir
cumstances. 1t matters not what crop
you are planning to produce, one of
the first things to be attended to is the
seed supply.
If you are not critical nor hard to
please in anything else, get right down
to business in the requirements of
quality in all the seed you use Poor
quality or weak terminating seed had
better be saved for feed rather than
lost by putting into the ground The
best quality of seeds is none too good
when you are expecting every grain
to produce plant and each plant
grow and develop into a producing
stalk. 1t is to produce crops that you
pillow the land and SOW the seed Then
why not try to secure the greatest
yield possible.
In all grains, in all forage and feed
crops, in vegetable and root crops,
and in fruits, plant and SOW the. best
you can get 1t pays all the time to
be critical and exacting in anything
that is to produce its kind The time
to secure seeds of all kinds, if not
already provided, is now. The spring
of 1914 will, in all probability, be in
a hurry. There is plenty of blowing
and spring preparation to do. Attend
to the seed supply now,-Twentieth
Century Farmer.

Some DISEASES of Poultry.

Poultry diseases, just like other dis
eases, are favored by unsanitary sur
roundings, spoiled food, style and
dirty drinking water, and poorly ven
tilated and insufficiently lighted coops.
Sick birds should be removed from
the flock, and dead ones burned, in an
outbreak of any disease.
White diarrhea of chicks is caused
by a germ which is often passed from
the hen to the chick through the egg.
Vessels and troughs in which feed
is placed should be frequently scalded,
or disinfected with five per cent So
luton of carbolic acid.
Be careful in introducing new birds
into your flock to see that they are
perfectly healthy, and not likely to
bring disease with them.

country, and whereby steps could be
taken to free the coming crop of 1914
from the disease, and all to clean up
the infested land, were discussed.
About Is prominent representatives
from Aroostook county, the Commits
sioner of Agriculture and his staff, the
Director of the Experiment Station
and the President of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad were in attend
ance. The means suggested met with
the approval of the Governor and
Council, and the following order was
passed:
Ordered, That the Commissioner
of Agriculture is hereby requested and
directed to use all the power and
authority of the State to
(a) Inspect and regulate the ship
ment OF potatoes in and out of the
State, and particularly to establish at
once a system of complete inspection
OF all potatoes in ara to be shipped
from the area infected with powdery
scab.
OBJ To prevent the replanting If
land infected with powdery scab with
potatoes the coming season. To use
every effort to prevent the planting
of seed potatoes other than those
known to be free from infection, and
use every effort to make clean the
infected area.
(c) In order to completely and sue
cessfully carry out the above instruc-
tons, the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture is authorized to invite the coop
Grafton of all the railroads and other
transportation companies of Maine
and Canada, of the dealers in potatoes,
the farmers engaged in raising pota-
toes and all other persons that in any
way may be able to assist in prevent
ing the spread of this and other con-
tagious diseases in the State
The Commissioner OF Agriculture,
the Director OF the Station and w. A.
Martin, of Houlton, representing the
Aroostook county interests, were di
rected by the Governor and Council
to attend the hearing at Washington
on Thursday, February 20, 1t is con-
fidently expected, and before this pub
licity letter appears it will probably be
announced, that the Horticultural In
spection Commission will not at pres
ent place quarantine upon
Maine but will permit the State to put
into operation its plan for the control
and stamping out of the disease.
While this is the most serious sit
uation which the potato growing in
dustry of the State has ever been up
against it is not a time for panic. 1t
is time for earnest, honest cooper
alton The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture will undoubtedly be able to carry
out the instructions of the Executive
Council but for this he needs the CO.
operation asked for under the Exceu-
tive Council order.
III is especially desired tnat people
all over the State will carefully ex-
anime their potatoes and if they find
upon them any diseased condition that
they cannot positively identify that
they at once send specimens to the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Orono Serious as the stu
alton is with the crop of 1913 it will be
far more serious for 1914 if the great
est care is not exercised in the selec-
ton of seed. And above all no sec
ond crop should be planted on land
infected in l9l3.-Journal, Franklin,
Maine.

With the country short 100000

No Market for Poor Butter.

Reports from England, covering the
markets for the entire world, indicate
that it is becoming more difficult each
year to find outlets for second-class
butter, For frst-grade butter the de-
mand is good and prices correspond.

Bad Habits.

The vices of feather-pulling and
egg eating are always more common
in overcrowded flocks than in quar-
tiers where there is plenty of space
for the fowls to exercise.

NEUROLOGY.

O'DoNNELL-Mrs. Sarah E. 0'Don-
nell, wife Of John O'Donnell, died al
home in Union City on Monday morn
ing, Oct. 6, 1914, at $40 O'Clock, after
an Illness covering a period Of several
years.
Mrs. O'Donnell, nee Miss Sarah New.
berry, was born at Cumberland City,
Tenn, Aug. 16, 1865, and was married
to Mr.. o'DonneIl Nov. is, 1885. In
1888 they moved to Union City, where
they continued TO reside.
Last year Mrs. 0'Donnell, on account
OF failing health, visited the Pacific
coast, but returned after few weeks
without relief. A short time ago she
went to Red Boiling Springs in this
State, and recovered in measure, but
the inroads of disease had overreached
human agencies, and death interviewed
after a few more days Of suffering.
Mrs. O'Donnell is survived by her
husband and daughter, the latter Mrs.
A. B. Coble, four sisters and three broth
ers, viz: Mrs. Dave Hooper, Rives; Mrs.
Alice Winstead, Trenton; Mrs. Jennie
Connolly, Humboldt; Mrs. May Con-
nelly, Patoka, Okla; Carter Newberry,
Jackson, Tenn; Tom Newberry, Ter
rell, Tenn; Joe Newberry, Paris, Tenn.
She is survived also by her mother, Mrs.
Kathern Newberry.
Deceased was member OF the Cath
alic Church.
She was blessed in the gifts Of heart
and mind, in the graces OF womanhood
and intelligence. She was devoted
wife and mother, good neighbor, a
kind friend. Mrs. O'Donnell was in
good health connected with every wor-
thy cause and much OF the public life
in Union City. She was esteemed for
those things which the good woman
contribute to our moral welfare, and
beloved by hosts OF kind friends.
Her demise brings the keenest sor-
row to the family and leaves COM
munity in mourning. Her memory is
the gift OF beautiful life.
Services were held at the Catholic
Church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
conducted by Father Murath, and the
remains we're inferred at East View.

came few minutes afterwards.
Mrs. Hall, nee Miss Lizzie Benagh
Holcomb, was born in Lynchburg, Va,
sometime in the middle forties. The
records we're lost, but she was about
seventy years of age. Soon after the
war she and her mother located at Kick
man with Mrs. Halls brother, Chas.
Holcomb. Here she and DR.. W. w.
Hall were married Jan. %, 1879. DR..
Hall was a resident of Union City and
the bride and groom were located here,
where they continued to live until death
separated them. A little girl was the
only child, who lived about three and
one-half years. Mr.. Holcomb died a
few years ago, and Mrs. Hall was the
only remaining member of that family.
The mother, left childless, was soon
called upon to take care of the orphan
children OF DIR. I. E. Hall, her brother
in-law. There were seven and they grew
to maturity loving Mrs. Hall as true
mother, who reared them devotedly and
tenderly. Her two nieces, Miss Eleanor
Spencer and Mrs. ]. NJ. Forester, also
have reason to remember Mrs. Hall as
an affectionate mother. Her home
provided them with the blessings of the
mother heart and its multitude of kind
nesses. Last she took to her heart from
the arms of the minister, who admin
istered baptism, the little orphaned girl,
Miss Winnie May Custer, daughter OF
C. ]. Custer, now Mrs. Richard Alex
ander. The devotion between mother
and daughter could not have been more
remarkable than the ties that linked
these two hearts and lives. So lived
the good woman in the grace of God and
under his divine inspiration, ministering
to the little ones as the Saviour did in
his pilgrimage on earth.
Mrs. Hall embraced Christianity in
girlhood and lived in the sacred precincts
OF the church true Christian. She
was member of the Methodist Church
in Union City, charter member OF the
Foreign and the Parsonage and Home
Mission Societies, in all Of which she
was active and devoted.
The aged companion, DR.. Hall, has
been an invalid for many years, and
the separation is to him an inexpresslble
sorrow. DIR. Hall was for many years
an active and well known citizen Of
Union City and together these two souls,
hand in hand and heart in heart, in
church and at home, travelled towards
the golden sunset in the fear and adj
montion OF God.
Memory of the sainted woman will
live in the hearts of the loved ones as
long as life itself.
Services we're held at the residence on
North Division street Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Revs. w. W. Armstrong
w. G. Waters, and interment followed
at the City Cemetery.
