James H. Farris.

James Henry Farris was born Jan.
16, 1845, at Taylorville, Muskingum
county, Ohio, and died April Z, 1915
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Sutherlin, with whom he
had made his home for many years,
being 70 years, 8 months and %
days of age.
He was the son of Jordan and
Keokuk county, Iowa, when James
was yet small lad. Later they re-
moved to Decatur county, where he
was united in marriage to Lucinda
Miller, June 9Th, 1868. To this
union two children were born, Mar
tina E. and Jennie D., both of whom
are living. Besides these children,
Mr.. Farris leaves to mourn his de-
parture two brothers, Joseph T., of
Keokuk, Iowa, and Geo. W., of Oak
land, California, and two grandchil-
dren.
When the civil war broke out he
answered his country's call, by en-
listing as an infantryman, but owing
to his youth was sent home. June 80
he again enlisted in Co. C. 9th Cal,
and was mustered out Feb. %, 1866,
at Little Rock, Ark. Since that time
he had been actively engaged in the
implement business until about two
years ago, when falling health neces-
STATED his retirement
For the last five months his SUI
fering was intense, yet he bore it
without complaint and was at all
times patient, thoughtful and ra-
tional.
Funeral services were held at the
Thomas Sutherlin home, Rev. E. F.
Partridge officiating, on Friday, at
p. M, interment taking place at the
Odd Fellows cemetery. The local G..
A. r. attended in body, acting as
pail bearers and conducting the bur-
ial services according to their ritual.

Harriet Elizabeth Stewart.

Harriet Elizabeth Roberts was
born in Buncombe county, North
Carolina, March 20, 1927. She died
at her home on the old historic farm
just northeast of Leon, April 6. 1915,
aged SO years and 10 days.
In her early childhood she moved
with her parents to Andrew county,
Missouri. On August ~, 1843, she
was married to Peter C. Stewart. In
1851 they moved to Center town
ship, Decatur county, Iowa, where
! she spent the remainder of her life.
She lived for over fifty years on the
old place where she passed her final
sickness.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart were
horn thirteen children, seven boys
and six girls. Of these two girls and
two boys have gone on before the
mother. Mr.. Stewart departed this
life twelve years ago.
There were present during her
last hours five daughters and two
sons: Mrs. Martha McEvoy, Mrs.
John Muse, of Leon, Mrs. Elizabeth
DERRICK of Leon, Mrs. Sarah Parker,
of Davis City, Mrs. Clara Sanger, of
Leon, James F. Stewart of Leon, and
Erwin Stewart of Leon. John Stew
art of Eskdale, Colorado, and Har-
vey Stewart of Saltwater, Oklahoma,
were unable to be present.
The deceased united with the Bap-
fist church of Leon in 1858. Her
faith was like that of so many of
those early pioneers of very rug
ged type, and manifest to all men as
sterling and sincere. For many
years, particularly since the passing
of her devoted companion, she has
been unable to be out much from
her home and in this quiet retreat
of her declining days she spent much
time in reading her Bible, and con-
templating the fruition of her eter-
nal hopes. No pains were spared by
loving hands to minister to her
wants and needs of the last hours
and she frequently expressed a de-
sire to go Aome. She now rests.
The al services were held at
the home Thursday, April 8, at IL
O'Clock, there being a great assem-
bly, of friends and neighbors present
to show the last mark of esteem and
love that wasl hers to enjoy from
every one. The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. James w. Johnson of the
Leon Christian church, the theme
being words that had for many
years been her solace and stay, ca,
though l walk through the valley of
the shadows of death, will fear no
evil"
The interment was made in the
Leon cemetery beside the loved COM
panion of so many happy years.

Nfertie Antonio Hileman.

Mertie Antonio Hileman was born
November 18, 1913, died April Is,
1915, aged one year, four months
and twenty-cight days. She was the
daughter of John A. and Mertie A.
Hileman, who live eight miles north
west of Grand River, Iowa. Little
Mertie was sadly afflicted for about
a week with a trouble somewhat like
spinal meningitis and suffered much
till the Angel of Death came for her
pure spirit. The parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the commun-
ity in this their great sorrow. The
little body was taken to the Camden
Baptist church northeast of Grand
River, where the funeral was con-
Quoted by Rev. E. B. Scroggan of
Grand River In the presence of a
large company of friends and neigh
bors, being assisted by q large choir
of friends of the bereaved family.
The little body was laid to rest in
the Wheels cemetery to swat the
great day when spirit and body shall
be reunited in eternal union.

Newspaper Errors.

The capacity of some people for
detecting errors in the newspapers
is marvellous. Also it is singular
how many unexpected meanings
these people can find. If the reporter
such and such character, some one
may call up and ask if the coat was
all the man had on. To satisfy these
literalists, you must enumerate item
by item the other articles of attire,
or they will accuse you of making
the victim appear half naked
The reader who digests his paper
in the quiet of his home feels that he
has shown great brilliancy If he de-
tects an error in grammar or capitali-
cation. It is one thing to find mis-
takes at your leisure in another
mans work, quite another to turn
out high degree of accuracy and pre-
cisioni in the haste of newspaper COM
position.
The banker makes plumbers in his
figures, the lawyer draws up incor-
rect papers, and the business man
submits erroneous bills Such blum
ders are known only to the few per-
sons whom they concern. The news
paper man is like the actor on the
stage, whose slightest slip is manifest
to all and seems ridiculous.
1t would be perfectly possible to
produce a newspaper having the
same high degree of accuracy as the
best edited magazine. But this
would either cost about twice as
much for a more costly force, or
else the scope and field of the news
paper would have to be reduced and
less matter printed. The public
would not pay the bills in the first
case and it would not be satisfied
with the curtailment of service. So
the newspapers struggle along as
best they can in their eternal effort
to accomplish that impossibility, q
snapshot Of daily life that shall be
permanent and absolutely truthful
history. The newspaper man is not
offended when he is jollied on such
mistakes as creep in. He merely
wishes the critic could have his job

lnfertile eggs should be removed and
and the fertile eggs should be put back

.Infertile eggs should be removed and
and the fertile eggs should be put back
under the hen. In this way it is often
possible to put all the eggs that three
hens started to sit on under two hens
and reset the other hen again. For
example: Thirty eggs are set under
three hens at the same time, 10 under
each. At the end of seven days we
find on testing the eggs that 10 are in
fertile, which leaves US twenty eggs to
reset, which we do by putting them
under two hens and have the remain
ing one to set over again after she has
set only seven days.
A good homemade egg tester or
GAMBLER can be made from a large shoe
box,or any box that is large enough to
go over a lamp, by removing an end
and cutting a hole a little larger than
the size of a quarter in the bottom of
the box, so that when it is set over a
common kerosene lamp the hole in the
bottom will be opposite the blaze. A
hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top Of the box to allow
the heat to escape. An infertile egg
when held before the small hole with
the lamp lighted inside the box will
look perfectly clear, the same as a
fresh one, while a fertile egg will show
a small dark spot, known as the en-
bryo, with a mass of little blood veins
extending in all directions if the en-
bryo is living. If dead, if the egg has
been incubated for at least SO hours,
the blood settles away from the en-
%bryotoward the edges Of the yolk,
forming in some cases an irregular
circle of blood, known as a blood ring.
Eggs vary in this respect, some show
ing only a streak of blood. The test
ing should be done in a dark room.

PRACTICAL ADVICE ON SETTING
A HEN-HOW TO DEAL WITH A
BROODY BIRD-TEST FERTIL-
ITY OF EGGS.
AS the time approaches for the hens
to become broody or sit, if care is TAX
en- to look in the nests it will be seen
that there is " few soft downy feath-
ers being left there by the hens; also,
the hens stay longer on the nests when
laying at this time, and on being ap-
preached will quite likely remain on
the nest, ruffling up their feathers and
pecking at the intruder. When it is
noted that a hen sits on the nest for
two or three nights in succession, she
is ready to be transferred to a nest
which should be prepared for her be-
forehand. The nest should be in a
boxand composed of straw, hay, or
chat for nesting material. Pack this
material down firmly and shape a cir
cular nest out of it which should be
Slightly deeper in the center than at
the edges, as a nest so shaped will pre-
vent the eggs from rolling out from
under the hen and becoming chilled.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder. In applying the powder, hold
the hen by the feet head down work.
ing the powder well inside the fcuth-
ers, giving special attention to regions
around the vent and under the wings.
The powder should also be sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in some
quiet, out-of-the-way place on the
farm, where the sitting hen will not be
disturbed. Move her from the regular
laying nest at night. Handle her care
fully in doing so. Put a China egg or
two in the nest where she is to sit, and
place a board over the opening so that
she can not get off. Toward evening
Of the second day, quietly go where
she is sitting, and leave some feed and
water, and remove the board from the
front or top of the nest, and let the
hen come off when she is ready.
Should she return to the nest after
feeding, remove the china eggs and
put under those that are to be incu-
bated. In cool weather it is best to
put not more than ten eggs under a
hen, while later in the spring n can
put ~ to Is according to the size of
the hen. If several hens are sitting in
the same room, see that they are kept
on the nests, only allowing them to
come off to get feed aind water, which
should be once a day.
Many eggs that are laid in the late
winter and early spring are not fertile
For this reason it is advisable to set
several hens at the same time. After
the eggs have been under the hen fol
seven days they should be tested to see
whether they are fertile or infertile.

a year and a half ago. The remains
of Scott were recently found in a ma

him. He will have an examination
