She was a dear and sweet little girl not quite six years old. She leaves behind to mourn her loss a father, mother, and a host of kin people, along with many friends wliich she had made in her short stay here. It was very hard to give little Nellie up, but God knew best and took her home to rest in that beautiful home where parting is no more, and where we hope to meet her some day. Goodbye Nellie thou art gone, And thy face we will see no more, But we hope.to meet you again On that ever bright Shore. A. M. T. Death of Mrs. J. Y. Longmire. The death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Longmire and claimed as its victim the beloved wife of Mr. P. H. Harris on Jan. 1. 1912, about 2 o'clock. She was making Mr. Longmire's her home during her sick ness. She had only been sick about two weeks. She professed faith in Christ and joined Gray Rock Methodist Episcopal church while Rev. A. S.

HAlIDY FEEDING DOOR OPENER Manger Device Is Described That Will Prove of Much Advantage on Any Dairy Farm. When the cows or horses are fed through a hole which is cJosed by a door opening downward it often hap pens that this door will not open of Its own accord. This necessitates some delay, and often the use of both hands. I once had a mare that would open the feeding door with her nose whenever she heard the button turn which held the door shut, says a writer in the Farm and Home This helped me so much that I arranged a spring wire device to open the doors In fron" of the other horses. The ac companying cut shows the arrange C J Handy Manger Device. ment. A steel spring wire is bent as shown and nailed to the post at a and b. A hook is bent on the free end and a staple driven straddle of the wire at s, loose enough to allow the wire to slip through it. When the door is released the free end of the wire springs out and forces the door open. The staple engages the hook and prevents the wire from following the door farther than is necessary. MAKE TIE FOR COW HUMANE Much Approved of Contrivance for Fastening Stock Is Described Don't Have Rigid Stanchion. There are many contrivances foi fastening the cow in the stall. Do not be cruel enough to have the rigid stanchion. The swinging stanchion is being installed in many stables, and is greatly liked. The upright iron bar with the sliding ring and chain, in theopinion of many breeders of high priced cattle, is the easiest and best kind of tie A later form of chain tie, which is an improvement on the old style, calls for a bar on each side oi the stall, and a ring on each bar with a chain on each ring. These two chains are joined In the center by a ring to which is attached the chain which goes around the cow's neck. The bars are short and should b placed with their lower end about eighteen inches from the floor. The side chains should be slack enough so that when not attached to the cow, the center will hang eight or ten inches from the floor. This tie gives more liberty than the stanchion, and does not interfere with the cow when rising. These ties may be easily made out of the old chains by the village blacksmith. The Iron bars should be bolted to the sides of the stalls. EXCELLENT BOX FOR FEEDING Device Shown in Illustration Saves Much Feed That Cows Waste Dur Ing Process of Eating. Most cows when fed bran or shorts will waste about a third during the process of eating. They will get a mouthful and scatter It over the out side of the box. The box shown in the accompanying Illustration is in tended to obviate this difficulty, says the Homestead. It is made 14 inches wide and 28 Inches deep with the back side 12 inches deep, the top section Baring about 40 degrees. Slats are Excellent Feed Box. then nailed in the bottom of the bos as indicated, which are two Inches high and compel the cows to lick the feed instead of getting a mouthful to scatter over the ground. Cheesecloth for Milk. No use to use cheesecloth for strain ing mlik unless it is thoroughly clean ed after each operation. We have seen farmers shake out the cloths, souse them into a pail of cold water, hang them on the fence and let them go at that. Cooling Milk. In spite of all that has been publish ed in the farm papers and urged by dairy schools, there are yet compara tively few farmers who pay any at tention to the prorer cooling of milk Now is the time to subscribe to Public Ledger. the mm TAX PAYERS Everybody that owe tax will please call and settle at once or I will be forced to send deputies to see you, and that means cost to you and trouble for me. I must col lect all taxes due within the next few days. The books for seyeral townships are already in the hands of deputies and the others will be in a few days, but you can pay at office if you come before the deputy sees you.
