 TELLS ABOUT WINTER CABBAGE

Please allow Us space in your columns for a few words to the prospective gardener.
 Last spring we purchased a , cent package of late Drumhead cabbage. After setting our patch we had plants left which we placed on the sides of our late pea rows. On the 3rd of July we pulled up the vines and ploWed the cabbage, adding a light fertilizer, andin September we gave another light blowing. By then they were heading nice ly. We still have nice heads in the open garden. On Christmas day we cut one that weighed ) pounds. We had four rows of bunch lima beans which received the same cultivation. and they were loaded with green fruit when the first freeze came They were ,,fua from June, and We put up Is pounds of shelled beans fer winter use. We have young tomato plants in our flower pit. Will write later if t5av Drova.e StIpppSS

MRS. JOHN M. PITTMAN. ]

ZOy ct ltlC lIOtLiC OI MI .. UOiiIt M . Pittman, was one of special sacredness in that Mrs. Els worth had been such faithful member for thirteen years ever since her coming to Prescott and an efficient officer many times.
 Among the many loving tributes paid the deceased, was one by Mrs. George Cress who has been very intimately asso- ciated withiher for many years, and which is given below:
 Good friends are among our dearest earthly treasures. Some times in the hurry and rush of life we fail to express the feeling of fellowship that we really pos sess. It should not be so, for each of us is, more or less, de- pendent upon the other. To be associated with a friend with a soul sincere is one of God s greatest blessings, and draws us nearer to him. Mrs. Ellsworth was a friend to every cause of right; in every avenue of life where 1t was psssible for her to minister: to the sick. to the needy-to comfort the sorrowing and to uplift the weak and falt- ering, she was always found there ready to bear the full share of her duty.
 As a personal friend, perhaps none could appreciate her more than l. For over eighteen years our families have shared each others joys and sorrows. She was always interested in the things that were for my welfare, and a truer friend than she, will never be found.
 Our hearts are saddened yet We must not lose sight of the truth that our brief stay in this world is but a preparation for that better life beyond.
 To each of us will come, some day the summons to enter into that broader, higher field of life. As our friends pass on before us 1t makes heaven seem just a little nearer, and each of us a little dearer to the other. '' Longfellow's beautiful poem "God's Acre" was read by Mrs Sam Logan, and Tennyson's beautiful lines, Crossing the Bar" was sung by Mrs. Dan Pittman.
 A memorial membership cer- tificate was presented by the Union to.the family, as a slight token of the affection in which Mrs. Ellsworth was held by the Union.
 A further expression of this high esteem in (which she was held. was the adoption of a French orphan by the Union in her memory.
 The following resolutions were read by,Mrs. C. L. Green:
 Since Death has claimed Mrs. Mary C. Ellsworth. one of our most faithfulImembers, and an effiei,nt officer of the Woman's S Christian Temperance Union.
 Resolved, That we deplore, deeply deplore her going away and feel that her place can not be filled;
 That the sudden removal of such life, leaves a vacancy and sorrow that will be deeply re- alized by each member of this Union, and will prove a serious loss to the temperance work, to the community and to the public;
 That We tender to the bereav- ed family our tenderest sympa- thy and pledge our prayers for them in their hour of grief;

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION

The demonstration has been a great
success. Farmers and tractor men
from every section of the state have
been in attendance, many taking adj
vantage of the excellent weather and
good roads to drive here distance of
several hundred miles.
Never before has there been such
an array of modern farming tractors,
everything from the little Fordson,
one of the newest tractors out, to the
big, reliable old stand blythe NAM
moth Aultman-Taylor, which looked
like big monitor as it moved down
across the field, pulling it's eight
plows.
The free-for-all demonstration
started Tuesday morning. The gen.
eral chairman, of the demonstration,
0. NJ Champlin, and his assistants
had marked off the land and given
each demonstration place selected by
lot. Some Of the land was better for
breaking than other lands, but the en-
tire field was in very good shape and
no one offered any objection to what
he had drawn. The tractor men all
say that the ground breaks hard be-
cause it is pretty dry and besides the
grass has made a good growth and the
sod is tough The rocks had all been
carefully removed by the Red Cross
workers, assisted by many farmers
and it was proved that they did a fine
job, by the few rock left to contend
with.
The character Of the breaking is ex-
cellent. Each tractor man seemed to
vie with the other in doing first class
work and the entire field Of 800 acres
has been turned over to depth of
from five to six or seven inches. There
were very few skips and when the
wheat is sown on the field next year:
the Ward county Red Cross chapter
ought to reap a big benefit. The farm
has been turned over by Mr.. Linha to
the Ward County Chapter, but no
grain or flax will be sown this year.
The first day the tractor men plow
ed a few rounds each and explained
the excellent points of their various
tractors to those interested. All were
kept busy and as the tractors went
across the field, they were followed by
hundreds of prospective purchasers.
The writer doesn't know very much
about tractors. but there didn't seem
to be poor one in the lot. They all
pulled thru the tough sod with scarce
