Obituary..

John M. Henry, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Y. Henry, was born June IL,
1880. and died November II. 1914, aged
"a years, 5 month and days.
He was united in marriage to Charity
j. Johnson July 81, 1858, and to this
union four children were born ; George
W. Henry, of Carmel, Mrs. Anna e.
Redkey, of Hillsboro, William NJ.
Henry, of Highland and Mrs. Allie
Laforge, who preceded him to that
better land about seven years ago.
On October 26, 1862, in his young
manhood, he marched TO the front to
answer his country's call, and braved
the struggles and hardship Of the
battlefield for three years. He was
member of Company E, 7th Ohio Cav-
airy.
He united with the Presbyterian
church at Ripley, Ohio, in his early
youth, but afterwards transferred his
membership to the Christian Union
church at Hoagland's Crossing.
He was true consistent Christian,
but on account of feeble health he was
deprived of attending the church SER
vices for several years. He never lost
his interest in the church's welfare,
and was frequently found reading his
bible and studying his word. He was
fully prepared to enter into the Heav.
emily world,
Uncle John, as he was called by his
neignbors and friends, has won the
respect and confidence of his neighbors
and acquaintance by his honesty and
integrity. He was man who lived a
quiet but useful life, and was always
ready and willing to lend helping
hand to his neighbor. No one ever
cane to him for favor but what it
was granted if it was within his
power.
He leaves a wife, three children,
eight grand children five great grand
children, four sisters and many sorrow
ing friends to mourn the loss of dear
one.
The bugle called him and taps have
been sounded. The hearts in this
home are saddened by the loss of their
kind, affectionate husband, father,
brother and grandfather. The bright
smile that always welcomed us is now
with the angels beckoning US to come.
He bore his sufferings with much
patience he never murmured nor
complained. All that loving care and
attention could give was naught. Vain
were the pleadings, the hopes, the
tears of the anxious hearts of those
who watched him drifting slowly into
the shadows, and after a few days OF
patient suffering his sweet eyes closed
on earth. The tired heart is still and
beyond the sunset he has seen the
dawning. 1t is hard to give him up
and we cannot unnerstand why one so
near and dear should be taken away
from us, "but God knows BEST"

VALUABLE FOR FARM STOCK
Southern cowpea Also Improves
Worn-out SoiIs-EconomicaI Way
of Feeding to Hogs.

For improving worn-out soils, for
pasture, for hay and for green forage
for stock, the southern cowpea is
of great value.
The New Era cowpea is a very
early variety, earlier than the black
eye, the quickest growing of any of
the varieties, maturing in about sixty
days from the date of termination of
seed This is the best variety for SOW
ing In the middle states. For the
southern states SOW the black-eyed
cowpeas, red ripper or clay peas. For
hay, to plow down for green manure,
and for midsummer green forage for
hogs and cows and sheep SOW early.
Hogs thrive on cowpeas. Practical
and observant farmers estimate that
one acre of cowpeas, when the peas
in the pod are in the milk, will feed
and fatten ready for market 16 shoats
and 20 half-grown pigs The most
economical way to feed is to fence off
small portion of the peas and after
this is eaten close, give second por-
ton. If the hogs are allowed too
much, portion will be wasted. The
hogs should have an abundance of
pure water at all times, and a mix
ture of wood ashes and sulphur Mix
one quart of coarse salt in each bush
ell of ashes This mineral matter will
correct the acid In the vines. For
COWS and sheep, cut the vines when
free from moisture and let them wilt
a few hours before feeding Give the
stock little old hay or straw, and
after this is eaten, a small quantity
of the wilted pea vines may be given
This is the safest way to feed, as the
vines contain so much water that they
should never be fed when freshly cut
or too much at time, as 1t is certain
to produce hoven, and may cause the
death of a valuable animal.

been eaten off, and in that case the
lambs may be allowed to run in the
field till they are sold, or brought in
for winter shelter.
Where one has lambs to turn into
the cornfield they will not only make
use of the blades of corn which are
usually wasted, but they will keep
down the weeds that are invariably
springing up after corn blowing is
over, thus seeding the field to the pest
for the following season
The manure dropped by the lambs
will also be scattered around over the
fields, thereby fertilizing the land with
out the usual time and labor expended
in hauling and spreading the manure
Another advantage in pasturing the
cornfield. after cultivation is ended is
that it will be much easier to get
through the corn at gathering time,
and the ears will be the more exposed
TO view.
