Joseph Clissold Commits Suicide.

1 Joseph CllSS0ld Commits Suicide.
Joseph Clissold ofSpringfeld committed
suicide at Holyoke Sunday morning. The
body was taken to Springfield Monday
and the funeral is today. Some ten years
ago Mr.. Clissold was employed by F. L..
5Amadon then Of this place for three years
or more. The following account of the
suicide is from the Springfield Republican !:
q Joseph Clissold, employed as cashier at
the Hotel Hamilton in Holyoke. committed
suicide at his rooms at 1856 Dwight street
Sunday morning or late Saturday night by
ticking considerable quantity of dilute
hydrocyanic acid, powerful and almost
instantaneous poison. Death must have
resulted quickly, for he was sitting on the
bed half-reclining on the pillows when
found by bis landlady, Mrs. w. j. Cady,
Sunday forenoon. Medical Examiner
Holyoke was called and viewed the body
and decided that an autopsy was not neces-
sary. When DIR. Holyoke reached the
place between II and l o'clock the body
was cold and it is thought that Clissold
committed suicide after returning from
work Saturday night, as the bed had been
untouched. The only reason that could be
assigned for the deed was dependency.
He had complained of not feeling well of
late. His home was in Springfield, VT,
his father and mother being Mr.. and Mrs.
Jo.eph Clissold, Sr. Suicides by HYDRO
cyanic acid are not OF common occurrence,
the other forms of pru,sic acid salts being
generally employed.

To The School Children of Rocking
ham.

The TINES is informed that you number
over 1000, really formidable array. No
one or two or three of you alone and I'M
assisted can accomplish great deal. but
in union there is strength and all Of you
together can accomplish great deal. You
have probably heard that the Grand Army
men and their associates in the Woman's
Relief Corps are trying to raise money
enough to buy monument to place on the
soldiers lot in Oak Hill cemetery to remain
forever testimonial of the esteem and re-
spect in which the memory of the brave
soldiers who went from Old Rockingham
during the dark days Of the Rebellion is
held by their successors and fellow citizens.
You may know that monument worthy of
the cause will cost about $1,000 and that
only little over $500 has been raised so
far. Would you not like to add your mite
to the contributions of othersp
In all your schools next Monday there
will be special Memorial exercises. You
will speak and sing the praises of the
"boys Of '61." If your teachers should see
that hat is passed would not all of you be
pleased to contribute at least one cent for
this monument fund.- If each of you
dropped in one cent there would be 1000
cents or $40. This will not buy a monu-
ment, but when the monument is bought
you will all feel that you have part in the
purchase and can each say my money
helped buy that" -,
The TIMES respectfully submits that q
little agitation among the school children,
and contribution, which so far as possible
should contain something from every pupil
in Rockingham collected on Monday next,
would be eminently proper, and the monu-
ment would remain an invaluable object
lesson in practical patriotism. We suggest
that each teacher in town explain to her
school the motive and purpose Of the
monument fund, and urge each pupil to
come to the exercises Monday with at least
penny; that the teachers forward the con-
tribution to Superintendent Cox and that
he pass the money over to the monument
committee of the g. A. r. this of course
with the consent and encouragement Of
the school directors.
This, however, is another instance where
it is useless to approve the doctrine and
Immediately practice the contrary, or worse
yet do not practice at all. If anything is
to be done there must be aggressive and
united action on the part of the teachers
and parents of the entire town.

general vigor of the tree, and in
crease the quality of the fruit. 1t is
thought that potash imparts a high
color to peaches and strawberries,
and covers grapes and plums with a
deep bloom; but its effect on the
fruit has not yet been thoroughly
studied.
The experience of many large fruit
growers favors the use of potash in
fertilizing orchards. 1t is commonly
applied in the form of muriate, from
200 to 300 lbs. being considered an
economical dressing if the orchard
receives an application each year.
[ often wonder if the practice is not
sometimes carried too far, and If a
complete fertilizer would not, in
many cases, give better results.
The result of experiments in the
fertilizing of peach orchards at the
n. j. exp. sta. shows the greatest
yield of fruit per acre where muriate
of potash and nitrate of soda were
applied, but potash gave much better
results than either nitrate of soda or
phosphoric acid alone. Potash
seemed to promote a certain vigor
and thrift which We're lacking in
trees deprived of them. Potash has
proved the most valuable of the
single elements; the net gain being
greater than where barnyard ma
nure was used. The largest net gain
however, came from using a common
fertilizer. s. ID Willard, the we'll
known western New York horticul.
turist, says: I'm order to have good
hard wood, healthy leaves and we'll
developed buds we must rely upon
potash and phOsphorlc acid. Prof.

Poultry Notes for July.

July is very important for the
poultryman. 1t is growing mouth
for chickens. They grow, it is true,
by nature but are greatly assisted by
the breeder. Feed them well, give
them plenty of free range and shade
during the hot days.
If you have decided to stop hatch
ing, separate the young males from
1the females just as soon as thew can
be distinguished, give them the run
of the orchard and keep them cool
at night and do not crowd them toe
close in the cOops.
Houses need careful watching
Cleanliness should be the order Of
the day. Roosts, drop boards, feed
troughs, nest boxes and drinking
fountains all need special attention
Remember, hot weather is the breed
ing season for lice, and lice and hens
cannot thrive together; the hens will
suffer.-Country Gentleman.

With fruit, try to have a perfect

Treatment Of Hogs In England.

In England the brood sows are
usually given plenty of run en- grass
in good weather; they have very
little to be called severe, so that
practically the brood sows run out
most of the time. This exercise and
freedom give them a very healthy,
thrifty appearance, and as a rule
you find them right up on their toes,
strong on their legs and regular
breeders of two filters per year, says
contributor to "Swineherd.n The
stock bears there are, as rule, kept
in thinner condition than they are in
this country, and thinner than the
brood sows. Usually after a boar
has been shown one season-or sell
dom more than two seasons-he is
reduced down thin and turned in
with sows especially selected as be
ing suitable to breed to them. After
those sows are bred he is put in a
pen Cor what they cali sty). and kept
on low ration, so as to not increase
his flesh. They seem to depend more
on 'active condition in their boars
than they do in breeding boxes
las we do here with our heavy boars
hence the necessity of keeping the
boar as thin as possible, so he may
not be encountered with flesh in his
duties at the head of the breeding
herd. And while speaking of this
way Of using their herd boars, we
would also say we admire one fea-
ture of this way of using their herd
boars and that is whenthey find a sire
that has proved a good one aud a
producer of winners, they keep him
instead OF changing sires every year
as so many do in this country.

Notes.

No man is competent dairyman,
or at all fitto handle cows, unless ne
treats them at all times as gently as
he would any member of his family.
There is no point in dairy practice
which will conduce more toward pro-
fit than the growing of good food
crops, and feeding the same out un
der cover during the winter
Early plowed land can be effec-
lively narrowed better than that
which lays to the sun until Angus
or September. After blowing, land
should he narrowed at intervals, as
the weeds start, and this will make
just such seed bed as wheat needs.
When bees are banging out in
front of the hive it shows that they
are uncomfortable in it Raise the
hive and nut an inch block under
each corner. They need either more
air or mere room or more shade.
Supply their needs if you can.

Growing Glover Seed.

One Of the reasons why the first
crop of red clover should ne cut early
is that this greatly increases the
crop of clover seed in the second
growth. The new growth will start
earlier, and if the soil has been re-

Dairy.

A very common mistake made by
those who seek to grade up a dairy
herd is the use of sires OF various
breeds in succession, under the mis-
taken idea that they can by this
means graft the good qualities of
each on the get. One not familiar
with breeding principles will often
use first, Jersey bull in order to
secure rich milk, then HOlstein
for quantity, and next perhaps, one
of the e # breeds in order to make
the steer calves a little better. The
final result of such plans is scrub"
