and the remains were laid to rest In
the O. A. r. cemetery.

lily to Audubon, Iowa, and when her
daughter came to Miller, in 1884 she
accompanied her and lived with her
two years, returning to Audubon In
1886. On the death OF her husband in
1894 she returned to Miller to live
with her daughter and has since that
time made her home here.
She united with the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in youth, but since COM
ing to Miller has affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church, and has been a

grand daughter, Mrs. Joseph L. Hofer
Jr., of Bridgewater, S. D., and her
great grand son, Wayne Nelson, OF

Her victory won,
Eternity begun,
Now blessed sleep. and rest.

why THE NAME "MO0NSHINE''
IN Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to BE Made Only
at Might.

Americ: calls the liquor illicitly dis
titled, especially In the Allegheny
mountains, ''moonshire. !" The appar-
ent reason Is that It is believed to be
distilled at night and secretly trans
ported without payment Of a tax or the
authority Of official permit. The fact
is. Of course, that the secret stills
work as hard in day as, at night.
England used the word in similar
manner, though not ~ the same
sense. Over there moonshlne is
liquor that has been smuggled into
the country without payment of tax.
The smuggling Is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
laad at lonely shores at night, and the
cargo is unloaded by the light Of the
moon. It was this that gave the liquor
It's generic name. Sli s.i

makes excellent silage; and when
ground into meal it is a good and
easily handled feed. In addition to
those good qualities it is of great value
as a soil improver. Attempts have
even been made to introduce it as a
human food and as a medicine, but it
cannot compete with other staples as
a food and it has no special medicinal
properties.
$ Although not detailed enough to
make laborious reading, each subject
from haymaking on through to alfalfa
meal manufacture, and consideration
of fake and fad alfalfa products, is
treated so fully as to give the reader
a thorough understanding Of the pos
sibilities Of this great crop. Those
who are inclined to be too enthusiastic
over certain uses will find reason in
the collected experience of many grow
ers and feeders to modify their views,
for alfalfa is not panacea for all the
troubles Of the farm and feedlot. Con-
sideration is given to the needs of
dairy cattle, beef cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses and poultry. and to the, crorAn
various forms, including hay, pasture,
silage, straw, soiling feed, tea and

Prehistoric Ruins.

The fascinating interest of the
ancient ruins in Rhodesla, South Afri-
ca, drew the attention Of the arch
eologists of the British association
during its recent meetings at Cape
Town. Among these ruins the most
conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe
temple, which lies about 200 miles in
land from the Indian ocean. The old
est Of the ruined buildings are be-
lieved to date back at least to the
days Of King Solo:.on. It Is thought
that they were constructed by Semitic
colonists, whose chief object was gold
mining, and who have left indications
of their worship of Baal and Ashta-
roth, as described in the Bible. Ex-
perts believe that precious metals to
the value of 100000 or $4,OOO,O 900
must have been extracted from the
gold reefs of Rhodesia in ancient
times.
