sickness and death of our beloved
wife and mother.
Julius Harries and Family.
Mrs. r. C. Wilson

Notwithstanding the fact that it
has been known for several months
that her health was in a critical con-
dition and that she was liable to be
taken at any moment 1t was indeed
a shock to her relatives and friends
last Thursday afternoon as the news
was circulated that her life had past
to the great beyond, to the realms of
endless day. The cause Of her death
was heart trouble and she suffered a
great deal from it and for sometime
again. Since early childhood she has
been a devoted member of the Pres
byterian church and had lived in the
Christian faith and that faith made
the last of her life peaceful and she
met death as zone who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him and
lies him down to pleasant dreams"
Her maiden name was Nellie Thral1
and she was born at Ottumwa, Iowa,
February Is, 1861, and was Sc years
6 months and 81 days old at her
death. May 1, 1883 she was united in
marriage with Robert C. Wilson and
to them four children, one son and
three daughters, were born The
daughters and their father survive
but the son, Chase T., died a few
months ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
came to this city in 1885 and this has
been their home ever since. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson have both been very
active In the affairs of the Presbyter-
ian church, Mrs. Wilson devoting her
time and interest to the departments
in which the ladies were especially
interested. She made no effort to
dictate what should be done but work
ed devotedly with the others and had
been instrumental In accomplishing
a great deal of good The funeral
services were conducted from the
home last Saturday forenoon by the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1917-09-13
Mrs. Julius Harries

Her maiden name was Christene
Kramer and she was born at Kamten,
Germany, March 4th, 1862 She died
at hospital in Topeka, September
End, 1917, aged 48 years, months and
% days. The cause of her death was
congestion of the liver. On the fourth
day of last July illness caused her to
go to her bed and the decline was
gradual thereafter. However it was
not considered that death was so near
and on the first day of September she
was taken to the hospital at Topeka
by DIR. Haughey with the hope that
she would be benefited. The spark of
life was too near extinguished and she
died the next day. The body was re-
turned to this city and the funeral
services were conducted from the Ger
man Lutheran Church, September 9Th
at 2 o'clock, the sermon being preach
ed by the Rev. Finkbiner, pastor in
charge. The body was buried in the
Wa-Keeney cemetery and was follow
ed to its last resting place by large
number of friends who now extend
sincere sympathy to the surviving
The deceased was united in mar
riage to Julius Harries at Syracuse,
Nebraska, April 13 tn, 1889, and they
came to Trego county in 1892 and
have resided near this city ever since.
To them six children, four boys and
two girls were born who, with the
father survive ~-and are P-ealising
young people. Mrs. EafrIss had hcerf
member of the German Lutheran
church for many years and was deeply
interested in the affairs of the local
church. Aside from the immediate
family she is survived by three grand
children, four sisters, one brother and
her aged father. Those who attended
the funeral from abroad were Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Post, of Coleridge, Nebr.,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Kramer, of
Syracuse, Nebr., and the Rev. and
Mrs. Fred Thiel, of Haigle, Nebr.

HOW TO TELL A SOUR SOIL

The most common test for determ-
lining if soil is acid or sour is by means
of blue litmus paper, which can be OBJ
tanned at very small cost from nearly
every druggist. A small quantity of
moist soil from the field is compacted
into ball, the ball broken into halves,
strip of litmus paper laid across one
part and the parts pressed firmly to-
gether again. After an hour or so the
ball of soil should again be broken and
the paper removed. If the paper shows
a decided pink color the sample of soil
is acid. If a deep-rooted crop, such as
alfalfa is to be grown, it will be well
to test samples taken from both the
surface soil and the subsoil.
If the soil is acid, then one is reas-
onably sure that legumes, the great
soil builders, will not grow there. That
means that lime must be applied.
It is well, and money making
proposition, b use lime quite freely.

Clover was worth over 500 per acre
in replacing corn in the hog ration in
one test conducted at the Ohio expert
ment station, when corn was valued at
$1.68 per bushel. Other forage crops
proved almost as valuable. Are you
cheapening pork production by the use
of such crops? There is no cheaper
feed up to a certain point. Pregnant

BUTTER PRODUCED ON FARMS
Amount Is Continually Decreasing Ac-
cording to Investigation Made
in Wisconsin.

An investigation made in Wisconsin
shows that the amount Of butter pro-
duced in the farm dairy is continually
decreasing and what is produced is
generally sold direct to the consumer.
The market butter is made in the S35
creameries Of the state, 45 per cent of
which are owned comparatively by the
farmers. An important feature is that
the cooperative creamerieS are the
most successful. They pay the farmer
more for his butter fat, pay the but
termaker higher wages, and sell the
Product for higher price.
1t costs 1.66 cents per pound Of butt
terfat to get the cream to the cream
cry and 233 cents to make q pound OF
Outter. The shipping charges vary
from OBS to 1.25 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the distance from the
market. The investigation brought out
me interesting fact that for every
pound of butter sold to the consumer
tne farmer received two-thirds Of the
money and the retailer one-tenth.

Of green food. This green food may
be most anything chopped turnips,
