Food For the Aged,

AT the latter extremity of life little
trouble is taken to suit the diet to the
changed requirements. Sir Henry
Thompson warns US that old age-the
time when digestive forces are on the
wane-is not for increased richness o.
food and condensed forms of alimenta
ton. This is an error leading to much
misery in old age Less meat is required
after middle age, and the food should be
light and easily digested Dishes diff
cult Of mastication are also to be avoided
for although the modern dentist has
done his part toward removing this nee
essity. yet the ability to assimilate the
hearty foods is greatly lessened in ad
vancing years. Undoubtedly many elder
ly persons suffer from an9mia through
lack OF suitable foods. Plain joints they
can no longer eat with pleasure or bene
fit, and, such things as nourishing soups
minces and appetizing made dishes con
tanning various cereals and vegetables
not being always available, the appetite
not being clamorous, they 60 without
thus becoming bloodless and suffering
from lack of vitality. Fruit, both cooked
and raw, is an invaluable food for those
past middle life, as indeed it is at al
ages

Fifty Years of Welded Life.

The pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs
H. F. Danforth of West Madison, was
the scene of a happy gathering, Monday,
May 3, when friends to the pumber Of
one hundred and thirty assembled in
honor OF the golden anniversary of the
marriage of the hosts parents, MIR. and
Mrs. Milo Milton Danforth. OF the i'm
mediate family all were present except
George w. Hall, Jr., who was called out
by the illness of a brother.
After partaking of bountiful dinner,
the address of welcome was given by MIR.
Eugene Danfor,h and ably responded to
by Rev G. X. Goodwin of Scion.
Then followed song by Miss Jennie
Paine of North Arson and a reading by
Mrs. Olive Gilman of Arson, both oil
which were highly entertaining. Hon.
Henry B. Merry in behalf of Table Rock
Lodge, |. o. o, F. and Emerald Rebekah
Ledge of North Arson then presented
Mr.. and Mrs. Danforth with two beauti-
full easy chairs as tokens of their respect
and esteem. Numerous other gifts were
then presented.
After congratulating Mr. and Mrs
Danforth and extending to host and
hostess many thanks for an enjoyable
and memorable occasion, goodbys were
spoken and all returned home, leaving
best wishes that Mr. and Mrs. Danforth
may live TO celebrate the diamond we'd

The Clean Seed Law.

The clean-seed law enacted by the
last legislature, and which has for the
first time been in force during the seed
uade of the present season, has been the
means no doubt of more critical attention
on the part OF seedsmen over the purity
of the seeds handled. 1t has also had a
tendency to greater attention on the part
OF the farmer purchasing seed over the
quality of that used. So far this is all
in the right direction. There has been
altogether too much thoughtlessness
over the introduction of noxicus weeds.
First of all, if we would have our farms
clean only pure seeds should be sown.
But the care that the seed was clean
will not be enough. From past careless
ness the soil is now more or less filled
with weed seeds. On stirring up the
soil new crop" of weeds will appear
that had lain dormant from past seeding.
These must be destroyed or the new seed
law will fail to give clean grain. Hence
the movement for a pure-seed law is
only one step 10 the direction of clean
fields. Law will not clean the land OF
weeds however much it purifies the seed
purchased. If, therefore, weeds appear
in the fields this year, don't make the
mistake of charging it up to cheat in
seeds Maine Farmer.

Wood Ashes for Potatoes.

For good many years farmers have
believed wood ashes to be an excellent
application for potatoes. Scientific men
held the same opinion. Within short
time the Rhode Island experiment station
has reached a different conclusion. 1t
is said that potatoes have sometimes
produced a slightly greater total yield
from lining, and usually much greater
percentage of merchantable tubers; but
owing to the fact that wood ashes and
water or air-slaked lime mot gypsum or
land plaster increase the virulence of
the potato scab to a serious degree, lime
in these forms, if used at all on potato
fields, should be applied in small quanti-
ties. seldom exceeding half ton per
acre. The seed tubers should also be
treated with corrosive sublimate solution,
or with formalin, the new remedy tried
successfully by the Indiana experiment
station in 1906" The advice is on &C
count of the tendency of lime to il creas e
the vrulence of potato scab, not to apply
it to potato ground, and also not to APP
ply wood ashes on account of the line
they contain. Wood ashes contain
potash in a valuable form for potatoes,
but their application to the ground and
some other crop year before potatoes
are planted is now recommended.

Wherever the cooling moth is preva-
lent something may be done to destroy it
by keeping close watch of cellar win
dows where apples are kept Apples in
the cellar sre usually kept much too
warm, and this causes the worm to hatch
out much earlier than it would if they
were buried under the snow. We have
often found these moths at cellar win
dows in March, and sometimes as early
as February There can be no doubt that
the moths live until the apples are set,
and then deposit their eggs in them,
