Death of Mr. johnson,

Thomas Johnson, an aged and respect
ed citizen of this town, died Thursday,
May 2, at the advanced age of 81 years.
He was born March %, 1914, in the
house and room in which he died. on the
farm which has been owned by the John
son family 1873 years. Mr.. Johnson was
the oldest of the sixteen children of Capt
Hanes and Phebe tHaseltine) Johnson,
and grandson OF Col Thomas Johnson,
a noted officer in the revolutionary war.
His mother was granddaughter Of Gen.
Moses Dow, of Haverhill.
Excepting short time spent in Mime
sofa, his home was in Newbu being in
terested with his brother, Dea. Sidney
Johnson, in the estate. He married, in
1857. at Hastings, Mimi, Mrs. Ann Aus.
tin, who died several years ago. They
were employed, during several successive
seasons, at the Profile House, where Mr..
Johnson had the oversight of the pur-
chase and distribution of supplies for
that establishment, while his wife pre-.
sided over the kitchen, positions for
which both were well adapted, and which
brought them very wide acquaintance.
They had no children. For a number of
years he has been very inirm and has of
late seldom appeared in public. He was
a man of wide reading, cordial manners,
and, before his memory began to fail,
probably possessed larger store OF anec-
dote and Renaissance concerning the
early settlers OF Newbury and Haverhill
than any man now remaining.
Thus quietly ends long, Industrious
and useful life.

The WOrthlGSSleSS Of
Cheap Fertilizers.
Facts About Fertilizers.

The experiment station of Vermont
again calls attention to the almost
worthlessness of the cheap commercial
fertilizer. Bulk for bulk, and weight for
weight, the average farmer buys the low
priced goods. What he actually gets is
we'll demonstrated by the following ex-
tract, which should be carefully read and
pondered by every farmer in the country:
Every manufacturer selling in Vermont
makes brands of high, of middle and OF
low grade. Every man of them would
prefer to sell all of the best and none of
the poorest class, not because he makes
more on them-for the margin Of profit
is much the same in either case-but for
the sake of his own good reputation.
The popular demand for quantity rather
than quality is the excuse for the low
grade goods. The farmer himself rather
than the dealer is responsible for them.
To make the cheap goods, either infer
ior raw material must be used, or else
the good crude stock must be diluted
with what is technically known as Gill
err" material which the farmer calls
dirt" The latter is, it is hoped and,
indeed, is thought to be, the more COM
mon expedient used. The economy of
paying manufacturers, railroad mag
mates, general and local agents good
money for mixing, bagging. freighting
and selling from 400 to 800 pounds Of
everyday dirt in every ton OF fertilizer,
does not appear. 1t is far better for the
farmer who wishes to use low grade of
fertilizer to buy less of higher class
goods and to make his own low grade
by mixing in more or less muck or soil
at home.
In other words, buy smaller guam
tity ofreally high grade fertilizer and mix
in the dirt to suit yourself.-[ Bristol

Nuts as Food.

Nuts contain large amount Of nour-
ishment, and owing to their oily nature
digest easily. Eaten with salt they are
palatable. Either as dessert course
or salted and used as relish their
value Is the same. They are not ex.
pensiye, for from the peanut through
the imported varieties they can be
bought in bulk at small cost.
The peanut has many good qualities
to recommend t,and from Its low estate
is coming to the front rs an important
item in dietetics. 1t Is supposed to cure
insomnia If eaten just before retiring.
Sailed, they are much cheaper than al
monds. The small hickory nut, at a
fcw cents quart, can be used on the
most economical table. The English
walnut makes very good salad
blanched and used with celery. Eli
berts, almonds and Brazil nuts are
more expensive, but as only few are
needed at time the cost is not great

that air Is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
A scientist proposes the following as
an experiment: Place bell In bottle

the medium for conveying sound is not
there.
Set the bottle aside for few months,
