prices it is also the cheapest of all fertili- gers. The man who buys cottonseed
 meal and feeds it intelligently obtains in
 the manure at least three fourths of its fertilizing value. Buy cottonseed meal
 instead of corn. Cottonseed meal is
 usually the highest-priced cattle feed in
 the market, linseed meal possibly except ed. The present situation amounts to a positive revolution, and farmers should govern themselves accordingly. The consumption of cottonseed meal in New
 England has not materially increased of
 late years, owing to it's high price and the competition gluten products at lower prices. The latter are higher than in previous years, owing to the advance in corn, from which they are made.

BRIDGEWATER.
MRS ANN JEANETTE LYON.

Among those who have lately died in Bridgewater there is one whose life de- serves more than passing notice. Mrs Ann Jeanette Lyon was born in this town in September, 1908, and although for short time her home was elsewhere yet the last 50 years of her life were spent in this village. She was therefore well known to all,especially to those few now living who spent their childhood with her. Indeed, some of the older in- habitants remember we'll and kindly the time when they were scholars in the school she taught in her younger days. Her parents were Lemuel Beardsley and Polly Ann Hawley, names familiar in the history of this part of Connecticut. In October, 1881, she was married to George Lyon and their married life lasted nearly 58 years, MT Lyon having died after 8 short illness in February, 1889. Mir Lyon and his family were Baptists, a body of Christians who de- serve great respect for their fidelity to their destinctive principle of "Believers' Baptism;" but when they moved to Bridgewater naturally connected them selves with the Congregationalists, whose mode of worship and church gov ernment were similar to their own. They were also able to believe that grace is found among ''all those who love our Lord Jesus Christi" and found many ties of sympathy uniting them to the Brown church." as St Marks is fa- miliarly called, and it's rectors always found in their house cordial welcome. Mrs Lyon very much prized her prayer book, which she kept as a companion to her we'll used Bible, and in her last sick ness, in the absence of her own pastor, shesent for the Episcopal minist CT and found much comfort in those prayers which have sustained the faith of Chris tians of many centuries, and which are the common heritage of us all. After short illness, preceded by time of growing feebleness,s she fell asleep peace fully, M Monday night, February 25, and on Thursday was buried beside her hus- band in the South cemetery, sswaiting for the general resurrection at the last day and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ" The funeral took place at her late residence, many relatives and neighbors being present and the rector of St Marks of- ficiated. who was glad to give his testi. mony to the loveliness Of her Christian character. 'sHer children rise up and call her blessed'' and sslet her own works praise her in the gates" ."-GG. Henry Smith. BridgeWater. April 8.

REV MIR BIELBY TO LEAVE KENT.

Rev w. F. Bielby has accepted a call to the Church of Messiah, Greenbush, in the diocese of Albany. He not only re- ceives an increase of salary, but will be near exceptionally good educational fa- cilities for his children. Easter day will be the close of his labors in Kent and the first Sunday after Easter, April 2l, the beginning of his new charge.
 Rev W. F. Bielby has resigned his position as chairman of the board of ed- ucation for the town of Kent, which he has held for the past five years. During this time many changes have been made in the schools, and the standard of the schools raised and the buildings greatly improved, and the text books brought up to more modern ideas. All this has been accomplished without jarring or serious complaint.

THE FARMER SHOULD BE AN EDUCATED

 Prof Philips public lecture given un- der the auspices of the Trumbull Grange, was listened to by fair sized and ap- preciative audience, composed mostly of dairymen and their families. The pro- lessor prefaeed his lecture with a few words of encouragement to all those en- gagged in agriculture, expressing his con- viction that such, everything considered, were doing as we'll in these times as any class of people. He spoke hopefully of their future, but insisted that the farmer must be in these times an educated man. His lecture was confined to the manage. ment of crops and the use of land for acquiring the best results as to quantity and quality of food. He illustrated the relative value of different cereals, em- phasiZing the we'll known fact that, all things considered, clover was the best of food for animals, besides being an en- richer of the soil. At the close he was questioned in manner that indicated considerable scientific and practical knowledge among those present.

The table below shows that the food materials or nutrients in ton of cottonseed meal represent s commercial value of S23. against Sl545 in corn meal, while the fuel value is also greater by 3400 calories.

Cads on Casters.

Some dozen or more young wheelmen
thought they would be very funny last
evening, SO they attached loud-sounding
COW bells to their wheels and proceeded
to wheel among the more orderly ana
well-disposed crowd on the Western
Promenade, thus frightening some of the
horses who were sandwiched in among
the many lady riders, and for few
moments things looked dangerous for
the fair cyclists and their escorts. But
a few of the law and ,order element of
the Portland Wheel Club were looking
after the safety of the public. and
quickly called them down. WithEone
exception they all had sense enough to
see their error, and that the attempted
wittioism of their leader was not appre-
dated by anyone but himself. On their
return the very efficient officer ON duty
there ordered them off, and hs will re-
ceive the thanks of the rest OF the crowd
of better disposed wheelers.
One young man riding much faster
than the law :. allows, cames to grief
from a tumble which drew the claret
and gave him some bruises with no seri-
GUS harm. Served him right, but it
saved him from arrest had he returned
at his reckless pace.

a very cheerful affair for farewell meet

gave some of her experiences among the
Mohammedans of Northern Africa. A
soldier sang farewell song of his own
composition and Capt. Malcolm tSalmond
and his concertina added to the must
cal attractions of the service. Captain
Trantor assured the audience that tine
bicycle that some enterprising reporter
had noticed Adjutant .BrenRle riding,
was a borrowed one, SO that he could not
posi- bly, ride it to Worcester if they de-
clined to contribute to his travelling
expenses.

deep feeling of their departure and of
their love for the souls of the people
who had been for SO long under their
care.
