SCIENTIFIC FARMING DESCRIBED IN POETRT

County Agent of Pulaski County Uses Prof. Vivian’s Lines in Interesting Article. Walter V. Kell is the county agricultural agent Of Pulaski cuum ty and he uses the newspapers extensively in his plan of disseminating knowledge. In ah interesting article in The Pulaski County Democrat in- reply to questions asked by farmers he concludes by using the following poem, which Prof. Vivian, of the Ohio state university wrote: There was a man in our town And he.was wondrous wise; He knew that if he wanted crops He’d have to fertilize. “It’s nitrogen that makes things green,” Said this man of active brain, “And potash makes the good strong straw And phosphate plumps the grain. But it’s clearly wrong to waste plant food On a wet and soggy field; I’ll surely have to put in drains If Td increase the yield. And after I have drained the land I must plow it deep all over; And -even then Til not succeed Unless it will grow clover. Now acid soils will hot produce A clover sod that’s prime* So if I have a sour soil, I’ll have to put on lime. And after doing all these tihngs, To make success more sure, 11l try my very best to keCp From wasting the manure. So Til drain and lime and cultivate With all which ♦that implies, And when I’ve done that thoroughly. 11l manure and fertilize.”

I find It necessary to pdopt a rigid cash basis for all mill products, owing to the fact that I have to pay cash for all that I buy and collections have been slow. On and after Sept Ist I will sell only for cash.—The Iroquois Roller Mills, Ralph Sprague, Proprietor. , . W'l .1 I N I.

Funeral of Mrs. X N. Hemphill Held Saturday.

The funeral of Mrs. I. N. Hemphill was held Saturday afternoon, the service being conducted at the residence on .Front street by Rev. J. C. Parrett, - of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Dr. Paul C. Curnick, of the Methodist church, and the Ladies of the G. A. R. The pallbearers were D. S. Alter, L. W. Benbow, C. J. Dean, D. D. Dean and Thos. Knox. Veterans of the civil war were the honorary pallbearers. Obituary. Eva May Troxell, the daughter of J. M. and Amelia Troxell, was born in Jasper county, Indiana, May 26, 1858. Her mother died when she was 17 years old and she took the place of a mother to her five sisters. For five years she was a successful school teacher in the schools of Jasper county.. She joined the Broadgage church in 1878 and after she was married transferred her membership to the Presbyterian church of Rensselaer, Feb. 13, 1891. On Sept. 24, 1879, she was married to Isaac Newton Hemphill at the M. E. parsonage in Rensselaer. To this union were born five children, Minnie Jane, George Boyd, Elizabeth Verne, John I. J. and James Floyd. They, together with band, survive her. Also three sisters, Mrs. D. S. Alter and Mrs. C. J. Dean, of Rensselaer, and Mrs. L. W. Benbow, of Winamac, Ind, and stepmother, Mrs. J. M. Troxell, of this city, and step-sister, Mrs. E. G. Warren, of Lawton, Okla. Mrs. Hemphill has always been blessed with good health until this spring. As early as February./her health began to fail, but she fought bravely and never gave up to remain in bed one whole day at a time, until she went to the Hahnemann hospital in Chicago, Aug. 20. The operation took place the mofning of August 21st and the surgeon verified the diagnosis of the Rensselaer physicians. The conditions were the most favorable for her and there was every Indication that in time she would be restored to good health again. Her husband and two children, George and Elizabeth, were at the hospital during and after the operation and John and Floyd were planning to go Sunday. Minnie had gone there Tuesday and remained with her mother until 7 o’clock Wednesday evening. At 8:30, just before leaving Chicago, she telephoned the hospital and they reported that her mother was then sleeping. At 10:15 the nurse reported that she called for a drink and again at 11 she made the same request, but this time took onyl a few swallows and complained of a pain in her heart. Her pulse was good but in a little while the heart stopped as, suddenly as the time it takes to turn off an electric light. Death was due to pulmonary embolism. > Mrs. Hemphill was a perfect mother and an ideal sister. Her nurse said, “Bhe was the best patient I ever had. Thoroughly interested in church and lodge work and quick to help anyone who needed help, were the characteristics of this good woman which will cause her to be missed, but remembered by all who knew her. “Gone home, gone home, her earnest, active spirit, Her very playfulness, her heart of love, . The Heavenly mansion now she doth inherit, Which Christ made ready ’ere she went above”

ANOTHER HORROR OF THE FOREIGN WAR

Grand- Opera Canceled in Chicago and We Hardly Know How to Pass the Time Away. Chicago, suffering the fortunes of war, has lost grand opera. After a two-day meeting of the board of directors of the Chicago Grand Opera company, Bernhard Ulrich, business manager of the company, yesterday announced that there would be no grand opera this season. “AH of the principals are abroad and can not get (back,” he said. ‘The men engaged for the chorus are mobilized with the Italian army.” The women of the opera company, through their connections and sympathies abroad, have declared that they could not sing with wars raging over Europe. Among the singers now with the French troops are M. Muratore, tenor; M. Grabbe and M, Huberdeau, basso. Last night Manager Ulrich sent cables to the singers in the languages of their various contracts, notifying that there would be no opera in Chicago and that the contracts were canceled.

George Platt and wife have packed Up their effects and moved to Danville, 111. Mrs. Platt found a short session in the county jail here too trying on the nerves and determined to leave, and George, who had her placed In jail, decided to follow. It is hoped they find prosperity and happiness in their new home. Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Hollister have been planning to go to Miles City, Mont„ to remain with their son, J. S. Hollister, until spring, and he is to arrive here tomorrow to help them pack and store their things and to accompany them to his home.
