Hartford, July, 1843, where she passed the days of her childhood and youth in the kind care of loving parents until her 25th year, when with them she came to Kansas, stopping a few months at Garnett. Not being satisfied with that as a home, the family came to Neosho Eapids. On February 14, 1871, she was married to Mr.

J. E. Jones, and with him lived in peaceful unity, the last fifteen years of her life. At a very early age, she joined the United Presbyterian church, and during the few years allotted to her on earth, lived a devoted christian. Her life while in Neosho Eapids has been such that she was beloved by all who knew her.

Following in the footsteps of her 'Master' she was always found ready with a helping hand and a kind word when and wherever possible, and the light of her goodness shone as the brightness of noon, guiding all who would follow; and her example shall ever remain in memory's visions of those who knew her best, as a beacon star, pointing the 4 way to a sweet rest in the beautiful beyond. The years given this loving sister, wife and mother, by her Divine Master, were few, for she died where life's morning almost touches noon," long ere the shadows were falling in the west. Using the words of another: "She had not passed on life's highway, the stone that marks the highest point; but, being weary for a moment, she lay down by the wayside, and using her burden for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down her eyelids still.

For this reason maay have been deterred from planting it ia the mountain valleys and elevated plateaus," where 'flic winter weather was of a severity approaching that at the East. They will be gratified to learn, however, that recent experiments made in Northern New York demonstrate the fact that alfalfa will thrive and bear good crops where the soil is cold and the thermometer drops as low in winter as fifteen to twenty degrees below zero. At Geneva, N.

alfalfa of three years' growth has yielded four cuttings in a season, the respective date of harvesting being July 2, July 17, Sept. 3 and Oct. 2. At the first cutting the yield was ten tons per acre of green fodder; at the next, only fifteen days later, the yield was six tons; the two subsequent oat tings yielded three tons. each.

This is a total of twenty-two tons of green hay, or probably about seven tons of cured, allowing for the evaporation of two-thirds of the moisture contained in the plant. This may be considered as a very good showing, as the usual crop harvested in California, when the ground is thoroughly irrigated, is about two tons of hay to the acre, or in four cuttings a difference of only about a ton in favor of California. In New York the plants attain. a height of two feet to two feet and nine inches. In the length of root sent down a great difference is seen.

It is remarked as wonderful that alfalfa roots were found there which had gone to the depth of four feet, while an extraordinary case is mentioned of a root being traced for thirteen feet. In California it is nothing' unusual for alfalfa, roots to be found twenty, thirty and even forty feet from the parent plant in search of sufficient moisture. This is explained by the fact that where summer rains prevail, as in the Cast, there is no necessity for the plant sending ont 'searchers to such a distance for water. -C-cogo Times. that we mean what we say.
