RECENT DEATHS.


Nearly seventy-eight bright useful
years came TO the turning last We'd
nesday morning in the departure OF
Mrs. Sarah Baker French. Lancaster
was her birth place, but the larger
part of her life was spent i'm this town
the last years with her son. Frank o.
French. Her father, o. w. Baker
was skilful in affairs; from him and
from her mother, of refined and beau
tiful character, decended to her the
qualities she religiously cherished,
which marked her life with strength
and cheer.
At the age of fifteen she united
with the village church-there was
at the time only one-and in 1851
she was among the sixty-five who
were set off to constitute the colony
thereafter known as the South church
For several years she has been the
only survivor, but one of that COM
pany. To every interest of the
church as well as of the community
she rendered whatever service she
could with affectionate thought and
care. II was at her suggestion that
the semi-centennial of the firsy
Christmas Tree in the village was
made an occasion of special observ-
ance at the South church last month,
and her paper of "reminiscences read
under the shadow of the commem-
orative tree was a felicitous feature
OF the evening. She retained the
freshness of youth to the last, with
a spirit both serious and playful,
always adding some brightness ana
bracing quality to the social atmos-
phere. Her last days were in the
chamber of peace where she fell
asleep and passed in to the bright
ness beyond.

ping it off the farm, you are de-
pleting the fertility of the soil
and only have one payday each
year. Mother earth, like a great
many human beings, will not
stand up and be robbed continu-
ally; consequently, let me say,
start your creamery as soon as
possible and keep up the fertility
OF your soil. Don't do as they
have done in the New England
States, where they have many
abandoned farms, all on account
OF continually raising hay and
grain, shipping off the farm, and
giving nothing back to the land.
Dakota once produced thirty
bushels of wheat per acre; now
the average is about twelve to
fifteen bushels. Why? Mother
earth simply refused to be impos-
ed upon and kicked" back,
Don't let Villas county make this
same mistake.

Should Operate the Creamery

Editor Villas County News.

Wausau, Wis, Feb. 6, IA.
Editor Villas County News:
Referring to your article in the
News OF Feb. 4th, under the head
lows Beat Gold Mines" I
would like to add word of en-
enlargement to your Eagle River
creamery project.
1t you have sufficient number
OF COWS in your locality TO war
rant operating your creamery,
don't hesitate to do it. You
have the market for every pound
OF butter you can produce right
at your own door. You have
the land and soil to produce the
alfalfa, clover and corn; you have
plenty OF running water and a
climate which is unsurpassed
With your barn full of good hay
and a silo filled with corn silage,
what do you care if YOU have to
iced your COWS acouple of weeks
longer than they have to do in
the southern part of the state?
Your stock can feed out in the
pastures about as late in the fall
as they can, but YOU: springs are
a little later.
Don't forget that you have a
payday twelve times a year from
the creamery or cheese factory,
while in raising grain and ship
