The best yield and higher sugar content come from largo, heavy seed. Pnteut factors in producing a good yield are deep anil thorough preparation of the soil in au tumn and the earliest possihlo sowing of the seed in spring. The yield of sug ar depends largely on climate and thor ough cultivation.

L'ses of flurhed Wire Fence. Barbed wire fence is steadily gaining favor on its merits of strength, dura bility, effectiveness and low cost The galvanized wire lasts many years, and only half as many posts need be used as with other kinds of fencea When tbe ground is so wet that other farm work cannot be done is a proper time to bnild barbed wire fences. At such time the ground is generally moist and oft enough to admit of driving the sharpened posts from the wagon, thus avoiding the expensive labor of digging and filling holes. To fence securely against sheep five smooth wires and one top barbed wire are needed. Six barbed wires make a good hog fence, but will not prove absolutely reliable as regards very small pigs. For cattle and hones three barbed wires answer fairly well, but it will be more satisfactory if four strands are used.

Forrester was born at Kagle Creek, Uicgon, February 11th, lH(i(l, and died March 30th, 181)5. The deceased came to his death by the accidental dis charge of a gun. lie had just started out to shoot some bird and had gone but a few steps from his residence when the accident occurred, the supposition being that the gun hung flio uflcr snap ping a cap, when he set it down to pull out the ramrod preparatory to drawing the load, but being a muzzle loader, when it discharged, the load entering just below the short rib toward the left side, the shot ranging slightly upward coming out at the hack One of the other brothers previously having trouble with the gun seems to juslifv this theory. From the time of the discharge of the gun was heard till his deatb, was about 30 minutes. His next older brother R. F. Forrester arrived about ten minutes before his death, but Thomas was past speaking. The deceased was bom and raised on the farm of which he owned a part, and where ho met his death. The high esteem in which he was held by the entire community, was evidenced by one of the largest funeral processions ever witnessed in the community, and by the glowing tribute paid to his memory by the Gospel Sunday school of Handy Kidge, of which he was an active member. About two months ago he was baptized and received as a member o( Christ's church, in which he became a live; worker until his Master ssid, "Your work Ib done come up higher." The deceased leaves three brothers and live sisters to mourn his loss.
