Remembers Father Miller

| was very much interested in the
article regarding Rev. Charles Miller
of Skowhegan in last weeks Report
er. 1t brought 10 mind the days of
my girlhood when we assembled in a
schoolhouse at Madison Center near
Lakewood to listen to words of wis
dom given us by Father Miller, and
well | remember the white handker-
chief upifted in the left hand thru
the earnest prayers from that veneer
able man of God, II WIS during the
Civil War that these services were
held and very few sermons or pray
ers that did not touch upon the peril
Gus times our country was passing
thru and Father Miller would always
speak of the enemy as Rebels These
services were held once in two weeks
and the entire community was inter
ested and the little schoolhouse would
be filled at each service. Father
Miller has long since gone to his re-
ward but the memory of him will live
in the hearts of those that knew him
in the by-gone days.

ed over the range aids materially III improving the quality and quantity of the forage, reducing the trailing and driving of the goats, and securing bet ter growth of goats and mohair. The Ideal system is to bed the goats wher- ever night overtakes them, and it is this system, called the 'bedding-out" system, that growers of goats are urged te adopt whatever practicable.
 The bedding-out system cannot be strictly adhered to during kidding, dur Ing periods of stormy winter weather, nor just after shearing; but it's use at ether times is practicable and it has many advantages.
 Range to be suitable for goats should possess a mixture of browse, grasses, and weeds, be free from continued heavy rains and snows, and be well supplied with bed grounds and water ing places. Browse furnishes most of Ehe range feed for goats throughout the year, so that it should be abundant. Grass and weeds are necessary for does and kids during the spring and summer, and are of considerable value at all times to give variety to the for age.
 Plenty of fresh palatable feed has a marked beneficial effect on mohair pro duction, growth of the goats, and the proportion of kids raised. It also re- duces the proportion of losses. There fore, instead of OveFstocking a range with inferior goats, the producer should stock it with the number of high-grade goats which it can conserv- 2tively carry.
 The range goat should be the large, well-built, early maturing Angora, pro ducing large quantity of fine mohair. The body and chest should be relative ly broad and deep, the back wide and straight, the thighs full, the ribs well sprung, and the legs short, strong, and set vide apart Such Angoras make possible a substantial revenue from two sources-mohair and meat.
 The does should be uniform, of good size, have good constitutions, be good producers of mohair, and should pro- duce sufficient milk to insure proper growth of their kids. The bucks should more nearly approximate the ideal than the does. They should be large and vigorous and should produce a large quantity of high-quality mohair. Only those wethers which produce very large quantity of fine mohair should be retained in the herd after they are two years old.

SAVING LABOR WITH CATTLE
Alter Daily Routine of Chores So As to Reduce Amount of Work
 Needed-Other Hints.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 In general, labor in beef cattle op- erations may be saved in two ways. The first, which probably will offer quickest relief and not require an extra outlay of capital, is to alter the daily routine of chores so as to re- duce the amount of labor needed. CD Allow calves to nurse their dams in the pasture instead of bringing them to the barn lots for that purpose. (2) Run the bull with the COWS instead of keeping him in a paddock (3) Stack coarse roughages in racks from which the cattle may eat at will in- stead of rationing their feed to them daily. (4) Use self-feeders In fatten- ing cattle for market instead of ra- tioning the feed to them once or twice a day, as the practice may be. (5) Feed the different feedstuffs in their whole state instead of chaffing, cut ting, crushing, grinding, etc. (6) Load manure to the spreader and haul it to the field direct rather than dump it on piles, thereby eliminating the me cessity of reloading. CD Dehorn all grade cattle and pure breds not to be exhibited at fairs and run them to- gether so far as possible rather than separate them according to sex. age, etc, thereby making it possible for one man to look after a greater num- Der of cattle in the same length of time. (S) Carefully cull the herd so as to retain only profitable animals and reduce the number of surplus ones to be carried through seasons in which the greatest care per head must be supplied.
 The second way to save labor with beef cattle is to supply labor-saving equipment. While this method requires en expenditure of money and will probably not bring such quick relief as the first method, the equipment supplied will be permanent and in the long run will probably be more economical in saving labor. The fol- lowing are some of the forms of equipment that should be supplied for

CHURCHES, SCHOOLS AND OIL

Since the discovery of oil in Northwest Texas several gush- CTS have been struck on church lots, and the congregations have
 been greatly benefited thereby, says the Oil City, (Pa.) Derrick.
 Among those which have gained
 by the discovery of oil in that state are the Merriam church, and the one at Pleasant Grove, the latter having a 7,000- barrel we'll found on it's little property. The value of church and school properties to the oil game is one recognized for many years.
 When a church lot or school lot is located within striking dis tance of an oil discovery. there is always a scramble to get pos session of 1t. There seems to be an inclination on the part of oil men to consider such locations, or cemeteries, as peculiarly valu- able. It is not in Texas alone that these results are noted. They have followed the discov- cry of oil from the beginning. In recent years the Pleasant church lot in Allen county, Ky, has proven very productives and a school house lot in the same county has a. good production. A church lot near Nottingham, Ind. was leased to an operator on his promise to paint the struc- ture. When his we'll came in it covered the church from top to bottom with the ill-smeIIing crude of that field. and the job of painting was not completed for many a month, except with the oil. In West Virginia some of the schools and churches are f1ourishing from their oil royalty, which have made them inde- pendent of taxes or collections. and the same is true of few in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In fact, the latest instance is the strik- ing of a fifty-barrel well on the Congregational church lot at Chatham. Ohio. in the northern end of the Central Ohio field.
 Whether any of the venture on properties devoted to religion, to the burial of the dead. or for ed- ucational purposes, ever proved to be dry, the Derrick does not recall. There may have been such failures, but they must be rare. Like the producer who struck his first large well near a school house with a pine tree in the yard and was eyer afterward searching for similar signs to al fortune. so the oil man, who has played the game for years still believes in the potency of a church lot, a school house lot or a cemetery as a mark for an oil field.

PLAN OF GRAZING FOR GOATS
Give Vegetation Opportunity to Grow by Dividing Range on Which
 Animals Forage.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 The production of more mohair and meat can be obtained in raising goats on the range by following a plan of grazing which will give the vegetation a chance to grow sufficiently to main- tain itself. Most goat ranges are used throughout the year. This and the general practice of driving the goats out from a corral at the ranch head quarters and back every day for months or throughout the year have been largely responsible for deteriora- tion of the range. An excellent method of giving the forage a proper oppor- tunity for growth is to divide the range into three areas-one for spring, an- other for summer and fall, and third for winter.
 The number and distribution of the goats on these divisions should be such

LIVE STOCK NOTES

 Horses and mules will be used for many years on some farms.
 Compared with corn, nine bushels of cooked potatoes are worth two of the grain as hog feed.
 When lambs are coming rapidly the ewes should be watched day and night to avoid unnecessary losses.
 
 It does not pay to take a chance feeding hogs swill which contains strong soap or some of the washing powders.
 A lamb too weak to stand should get a fill of it's mothers milk as soon as possible. If it refuses to nurse feed 1t from a bottle.

Worlds Greatest cataract.

What is set down as the greatest cat aract in the world is on the Iguazu river, which partly separates Brazil and Argentina. The precipice over which the river plunges is 210 feet high, that of Niagara being 167 feet. The cataract is 13,123 feet wide, or about two and half times as wide as Niagara. It Is estimated that 100000 900 tons of water pass over Niagara in an hour. A like estimate gives the falls of Iguazu 1400O0.000 tons.
