ROGERS.
Miss Susannah Catren was born In Chester county Pennsylvania on October 11 1844 and departed this lite January 13 1892. aged 47 yearss 3 months and 2 days she was married to Jonathan Rogers November 5 I860, us a result of this union six children were born, one which i.as preceded her to the ''Haven of ltest" but her husband and live children are left to 4*BH*urn the loss of a true wif6 aud affectionate mother. When the temptations aud vicissitudes of life beset them, she with a wife's devotion and a mother's council was always ready to aid in the alleviation of their sufierings and by her example aud cheering words she often made smooth the rugged pathway of life, and who arc more able to appreciate her loving disposition, than iier children who are left behind, but her works of love were not confined to the narrow limits of home, but the greatest lustre of character shone the brightest is the charity and love manifested toward her neighbors. She was always kind and sj mpa tlietic to the poor, always ready iu every time of need iu sickuess, sorrow, or death to lend a helpiug hand, or give her loving advice, and iu her death her neighbors have lost one of their best aud kindest friends aud they are made to weep with her bereft family, but now she rests from her labors and her works do follow her.
She only experienced a short illness, but suffered greatly aud when asked by christain friends, in th«3ir solicitude for spiritual welfare, if she was prepared, she assured them that she was ready and fully prepared to meet her Redeemer and reap the full fruition of her laboi's here below. And as a parting advice, wo would ad monish her husband and children to closely follow in her footsteps, and in their lonely hours of sorrow and bereavement to "Look to Jesus" who is the only one who can fill the place of such a companion and mother, or soothe the aching heart "She has fought a good light, "aud "henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of Righteousness" and if her compainon or children, wish to meet her or the little darling who has proceeded her across the "chilly .Jordan of death" they must prepare while they have time aud opportunity aud although, in the course of nature they will weep and mourn, as ft hose having no hopes.

MLLILA.XI).
Benjamin M. Gillilaud was born in Washington county Ohio, March 26, 1823 died near Milner Corner luii. Jan. 9jl89'-, aged 68 yrs. 9 mo. 13 days. He seemed to be a very hearty man of his age, and the morning of his death, he walked to Milner Corner, nearly a half-mile from his home and came back home aud after entering the house, he said to his aged companion that "the cold wind nearly takes my breath this morning" or words to that effect, he then took off his oyercoac, hung it iu its place and then fell to the floor. He lived a few moments but never spoke another word.
Father Gilliland embraced the Christian religion when but 18 years of age and was a member of the Christian church at Warrington, Ind. at the time of his death. Short funeral services were held at Sugar Grove U. B. church by Father Martindale, after which his remains were laid to rest in the Cook grave-yard. He leaves an aged companion with whom be had been traveling life's rugged pathway for over 47 years two sons and two daughters living, two children having passed on over the river before him. I think I voice the sentiment of all who knew him when I say that a good inau has passed away. He always had a kind word for every one he met thus reflecting the character of J( sus. We would say to the aged companion weep not as those that have no hope and to his children follow in your father's foot-steps that there may be an unbroken family reunion "just over the river."

HOW TO FEED THE CHICKS.
A Report of Che Bominieii Experiment Farms at Ottawa.
As in previous years the bread and milk system of feeding was adopted in the poultry department and proved highly satisfactory. The bread was soaked in milk, squeezed dry and so fed. Dry bread crumbs were also given. As the chickens progressed their bread and milk diet was gradually changed to the less expensive one of ahorts, corn meal, bran, table scraps, ground meat, with all the wheat or crushed corn they CQuld eat for their last ration. When very young the chicks were fed about once every hour, a little at a time, but often, so as to not allow them to get hungry. As they grew older they were fed once every two hours, and as they increased in size the rations were gradually made more substantial, but reduced in number. It is important that the chickens should be sent to rest with their crops fulL
A critical part of the chicken's life is the first five weeks, while it is getting its feathers. At this period all the resources of the system are drawn upon to supply the growing feathers, besides flesh, bone, muscle, etc., and it is necessary that the chickens should be generously fed on a variety of the most nourishing food. A chicken stinted of food or allowed to hunt for its living, .as is too frequently the case at this period of its growth, will never make a large fowl. Indeed, if allowed to become stunted from either of the causes named no subsequent care will make amends for past neglect. To have poultry of large size for table use it is imperative that thoy should be puslied from the earliest date of their existence. This is well understood in Great Britain and France, whero raising choice poultry for market is made an important source of revenue to the farmers.
If easily procured, milk, sweet, skimmed or sour, given as a drink or mixed in their food, or left in open dishes to take as the chicks please, is one of the best inceutivM to vigorous growth that can be given. If not milk, then pure water should be regnlarly furnished and put into shallow pans. Do not allow the watwr to become hot from exposure to the sun. The tirat chickens to b:» place*! in the coops outside were riymout. Rocus. white Leghorns and Kouda x"'it t. -.rere exposed for the fir*t hree to bitter cold northeast winds that marked the last week of Ap. '1 and the first half of May last sea^u. £.ingwell fed and cared for, they not stood thia ordeal, but made good growth. In the majority of cares want of care and proper food are the cause of death.
In the case of many farmers inbreeding has resulted in weak chicks, and weaklings as a rule seldom last long. Perhaps it is as well they do not, for they would never, in the event of their maturing, made stock fit to breed from. It may be added to the general instructions given above that as the chickens grow large they should be removed from the smaller ones. If they are not they will not allow the little chicks to have the proper quantity of food they require to make rapid progress. In chicken life the weak have to go to the wall. Where chickens are raised iu large numbers aiid are placed in small coops, the latter must be frequently cleaned or sickness will surely result.
Thinning Crops, Etc.
Much labor will be saved by the timely thinning of crops. The most useful tool for this work is a corn hoe reduced to two inches in width by means of a cold chisel. After going through with the hoe return and single out the plants by hand. Furrow out for early tomatoes five feet apart lay a plant in the furrow leaning against the side at intervals of four feet and cover up with the plow, finishing neatly with the hoe. Do not expect tomatoes, cabbage or any product of the garden to be at the same time large and early—it is against nature. For this reason early plantings should be closer than late. As a protection against the fly, dust the seed beds of cabbage with soot and partially shade with branches of trees. Whether you have weeds or not the hoe and cultivator should be kept agoing as a preventive against drought.
Plant early varieties of sweet com in rows made by the marker, weighted if necessary. This article is usually planted too deej), causing it to rot avoid deep planting generally. Remember that such things as parsnips and salsify if not thinned when young will have to be cut out with a knife later in the season, and in that case the crops will not pay. Rhubarb should not be cut the first year, but if the ground is rich a full crop may be expected the next, says Powell in hi9 "A of Agriculture.

basket, with plenty of soft straw to keep her warm. Put false eggs into the basket, and cover her over with a heavy cloth to keep the light out. If she intends to sit, she will when the basket is uncovered carefully by night—no lamp or lantern—show unmistakable signs, when you happen aiound next day. If she does not mean business, she will leave her eggs. If she shows a disposi tion to sit close, leave her on the dumb
(artificial ones if you have them) for a day or two, and then put good ones under her, keeping her well covered with a heavy cloth till she thoroughly takes to the nest.
'Protecting Bees.
A bill for an act to protect bees from poison through the spraying of fruit trees while in bloom is before both the Illinois and Michigan legislatures. It ought to become a law. Even fruit growers, if well informed, will vote for its passage, as the spraying of trees while in bloom fails to accomplish the desired results. After the blossoms have (fallen is the pit per time.—Beekeepers' Review.

LANDS.
Why Hay Crops Grow Lighter and the Land and the Farmer Grow Poorer.
Year after year, on many farms, the hay crop grows lighter and the land and fanner are both growing poorer. This is due to the old process of cropping th® ground year after year without making any return in the form of manure or fertilizer. While enriching the soil at the time of seeding is of great importance, says The American Dairyman, its influence will gradually be dissipated, and applications of some kind of plant food should occasionally be made to the sod. If this is neglected the crop will certainly diminish in quantity, and in many fields there will be a marked impairment of the quality of the grass produced. Aa the finer grasses grow weak, as they certainly will if they are not well fed, they will be crowded out by the stronger and coarser sorts, which are more natural to the soiL
The exhaustion of the land by the removal of successive crops of grass is not as rapid as it is when some other crops are grown without manure, but it is just as certain, and if long continued the results will be just as disastrous. A careful investigator of this subject has come to the conclusion that in taking one ton of English hay from the ground we remove not less than eighty pounds of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potashelements which are indispensable to the growth of plants. To replace these elements would require at least four large loads of ordinary farmyard manure (if it had been leached in an open yard a good deal more would be needed), or from two hundred to three hundred pounds of fertilizers, which ware prepared with speoial reference to the ueeds of the planU. Larger crops would of course remove the valuable elements of the soil sti. nore rapidly, and larger quantities of j. .nt food would bo required to prevent its exhaustion.
There are maity exceptions, but as a rule farmers and dairymen in this country place too low an estimate on the value of the grass crop. They know that it pays to manure and cultivate their planted crops, but they are afraid to do much for their grass land. When they gain sufficient confidence in the grass crop to give it the attention which it deserves they will find it one of the most profitable of all their farm products.
How to Ilanuge Sitting Hens.
Mr. Gilbert, in his report of the workings of the poultry department of the Central experiment farm at Ottawa, very wisely urges the importance of ridding the sitting hen of lice by dusting their bodies and the nests with carbolic powder. Under his arrangement China eggs are first placed under the broody hen until she has proven by sitting on these two days that she is in earnest. Then after she has been treated for vermin genuine eggs are given her. When a hen is noticed standing on the nest, as if in distress, the trouble is lice. The heat of the embryo in the shell and the high temperature of the hen's body tend to make these parasites so active as to become unbearable, and although against the natural instincts, some hens leave their nest and the hatch is lost. As a matter of fact, a great many of the socalled diseases of poultry may be traced to the presence of lice.
The sitting hen ought to leave the nest once a day, and never be tempted by food to leave it more than once a day. She should never be fed upon the nest. To remove a hen from the nest a writer in The ^Poultry Yard advises this:
Place both hands upon the wings, the fingers reaching under the wings, so as to raise them upward, then pass one hand far enough down to extend under the breast bone and in lifting the hen, draw her backward at the same time. In this way her feet, which may be partly under the eggs, will be drawn out backward and thu3 the eggs will scarcely be disturbed in the nest. Ordinarily a hen will not remain off her nest more than twenty or thirty minutes. When the hen is absent examine the eggs and remove any that may have been broken."
Experiments with Corn.
From the Purdue university station, Lafayette, Ind., comes a statement concerning experiments with thirty varieties of corn. From this report it appears that: 1. The later varieties generally produced a greater aggregate yield of grain and stalk. 2. The earlier maturing va rieties generally produced a larger proportion of ears and a smaller proportion of poor corn. 3. The drought hastened maturity and reduced the proportion of grain, especially of the later varieties, whose shoots were beginning to form when the drought was most severe. 4. The large per cent, of suckers and smut sustains no definite relation ^to time of maturing.
Professor Latta holds that the prevalent laborious and expensive plan of husking the ear and wasting or only half utilizing the stalk must give place to more economical methods of husbandering and utilizing the corn crop. Instead of separating and recombining the grain and stover, as is now commonly done, sagacious feeders generally will grow varieties that in point of earlinesa, yield and propoi*tion of grain and stalk are suited to their needs: and they will feed out stalk and grain together, as silo men almost universally now do at the present day.
Look for lice on the cattle and colts, and do not wait a day before you get rid of them. The quickest thing to obtain is kerosene oil and lard, half and half. Rub it in the hair well. Have on hand some good sheep dip.

About r.oon the promised mousy came, not in criep bills, as wao expected, but in silver dollars* the sum total filling several specie bags.
The wife was first vexed, then amused, and finally, as the afternoon wore away, became deeply* thoughtful. When her husband earns home to supper she took him gently by the arm, and leading him into the room where the ponderous bags of specie were still standing, said: "My dear, is this the money 1 asked you for this morning?" "It is, iny love," was the reply. "And did you have to take this money all in, dollar by dollar, iu the course at your business?" was the iiesfc question, "Yes," ke answered, gently, "it represents the earnings oil many weeks of hard labor." "Well, th.ui," she said, with tearful eyes, "send a man to take it back to the bank in the morning. I can't use so much money for so trivial a purpose. I didn't underbtand about it before."— Youth's Companion.
A Vlliiii Mail's Intelligent Dog.
Every one who walks along uppez Broadway knows the blind newsman and his dog at the corner of Thirtieth street. The man sits on a camp stool from noon until S o'clock evory day selling papers, and during that time the dog is Lis oonstant companion.
The other evening, when the man land sold all his papers and was ready to go home, he got up, folded his camp stool and tucked it under his arm, and catching a tight hold of the string attached to the dog's oollar, started to walk up Broadway. When they reached the middle of the next block the dog stopped. "Come along get up, Prince," said the blind man, tugging at the string. But the dog seemingly paid no attention. He was looking intently down the street at the approaching horse cars. He stood this way for gome minutes, scanning each car carefully as it passed, and suddenly ran out into the street, the man following, and jumped aboard the front platform of JUI up town green car. The car stopped and the blind man groped his way inside and took a seat, while the*log remained on the platform.
The same performance is repeated every night, and it is said that the man and his dog are known to all the drivers and conductors on the line.—New York Evening Sun.
Hopelessness of the "Ci-acker."
One clever, original manufacturer for five years devoted head, heart and purse to ameliorate the condition of his operatives—the worst class in the community. They had 110 homes he bought and built houses, which fell to pieces through i-.' -lect or were burned up in orgies. V. iien their dwellings were again repaired the crackers felt out of place in a setting of order and neatness, and "jes to make things sorter homelike," as was afterward naively explained, they lacked out the panels of the doors, smashed the windows, riddled the walls and cut up the floors for kindling wood.
With driftwood for fuel lying almost at their gates, if they have a gate, rather than walk to and from the fence, if they have a fence, the proletarian inhabitants prefer to destroy their landlord's property. An attempt to utilize their horticultural instincts was unavailing. The gardens were fenced, the tenants burned the planks the plats were plowed, not a seed was planted, and when, undiscouraged, the employer planted the gax*dens himself, the people turned in the hogs with the comment, "Bacon's better than garden sass any day."—Century.
