NORTlIFIELD.

A large number OF friends and rela.
tives met at Berlin Pond on Thursday
the 18th to celebrate the eightieth an
niversary of Amos Plastridge Of
Northheld
Mr.. Plastridge was born in Water
bury, but has spent most Of his life IN
Mortified. His business relations
have been large and his integrity al
ways unquestioned he is in every
sense OF the word true man
Among those present was sister Of
Mr.. Plastridge Mrs. Jeanette Davis
OF Winchester. N. II. Mrs Davis. who is
nearly SO years old, made the entire
trip alone to be present at the reunion.
A sister OF Mrs. Plastrldge, Mrs.
Laura Flint Of about the same age,
Of Washington, was also present. a
son Of Mrs. Plastridge, MIR. Allen
Balch OF Hudson came to help make
the gathering a success.
After pleasant visit and a boun
tiful repast had been served the pres
entation Of gifts was in order W. c..
Nye, brother of Mrs. Plastridge,
made the presenta, ion speech In his
usual happy vein. He sketched the
life OF the host from his infancy to the
present time, and made many telling
hits.
After this the day was spent in a
happy manner, with songs and re cita.
tions by the young people, the gener-
al fund OF story telling and reminis
cenSes.
r. B. Vaughan read the following
poem written for the occasion by Rev
j. A. Sherburn, after which the party
broke up late in the afternoon, all ex-
pressing themselves as having had
delightful day.
Poem read at the 30th anniversary
of Amos Plastridge Of Mortified at
Berlin Pond June 10th:
What means this gathering here to-
day?
What turned these eager feet this
way:
What magnet has this power to
draw
AND what the secret of its law.
One central figure nobly stand,
Respect and love he will command:
We would not say the people fear
him.
But rather, that they must revere
him
For what he is, and all his labors,
He stands right we'll among his neigh
borS,
And children too, are glad to raise
Their cheerful voices in his praise.
Ore reason still, both strong and
weighty;
He reaches now the age of eighty,
Respect for age we love to teach it,
w hen one has lived Sc long to reach
it.
Now, age we count another way,
And let the wise man have his say;
UnSpotted life is what he said,
And wisdom, crown the hoary head
Our life from age traced back to
YOUTH
May sometimes lack the stamp OF
truth;
BY Gods great mercy sent from
heaven,
Through faith in Christ we stand
forgiven.
Our peace with God we claim ana
know
Because his spirit tells US SO;
In age or youth he loves his own
And will sometime with glory crown
The time in which we now are dwell
ing,
Is claimed an age on ages telling,
lis one which all past record breaks
When man by lightning moves and
speaks.
So, he who lives today, may far
Ortlive the famed Methusalah;
If great the day then great the
claim,
On those who share its greatest

Treating BIORt In sheen.

The trouble of hooven or bloat in
sheep, caused by various gaseous foods
being taken into the stomach, such as
green clover, alfalfa, etc, is easily re-
lieved by tying round stick back in
tie mouth. This is done by taking a
piece of an old broom handle or other
round stick of about that size. The
stick should be eight or ten inches
long, cut grooves around the stick near
each end and tie at these places n
string which can be tied back of the
head, when the stick is put in the
mouth. This arrangement forces the
mouth to remain open. The gas will
quickly escape and the animal will be
relieved. This treatment is as APP
plicnble for the COW as for the sheep,
but larger stick Is required for the
cow.-Nebraska Farmer,

when to Slaughter . Pig.

When to slaughter pig must de-
pend on what we have to feed him, and
the price at which feed is selling in the
market. The price Of pork also cuts
some figure, but not so much as the
price of feed. For instance, this year
in some localities pig feed is so high
in price that every pound of additional
weight put on costs ten cents, which is
far above the highest market price
possible. Where the hog raiser lives
near n creamery and can get skim
milk at low figure, or near cheese
factory and can get whey for prac-
tically nothing, it often pays to keep
the pigs till they are of good size, even
when other feeds are high. This year
a good many pigs are being got rid
of as soon as they attain weight Of
$50 Opounds.-Farmers Review,

IMPORTANT QUESTION.


10 4 now pretty generally under.
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains the most cheaply near the
birth period. and also the most rap
Idly. This Is owing to the greater
activity Of the sscretions when an
imals are young. But this explsns-
tiOn does not 80 well apply to the
case Of swine. After several years Of
experimenting at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station. II has been ascer-
tanned that pigs do not gain nearly
so rapidly when they are young a.
when of more mature age. When
they were on the SOW 1t was found
difficult to make them gain a pound
a day. After weaving for two or
three months they seldom made more
than one-half pound per day. but aft
er say five or six months for the next
two or three months they gained well
on to two pounds per day. Thus it has
been shown In several instances, that
between the ages of five and eight
months pigs have made the most
rapid increase in weight. The exper-
iments referred to were not made
with view to test this s-question, but
these results came out incidentally
in large number of tests. As re-
suit of the casual manner in which
these conclusions were reached, the
relative cost of the gains cannot be
given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount
relatively of the food consumed.
This is great question. 1t ought
to be further investigated. The ex.
perience referred to calls up the
thought that it may be possible to
market pork too young to bring the
grower the greatest profit, even
when swine are sold as young as six
or seven months, the popular age at
which to sell. These results in swine
growing, so different from those OBJ.
tanned in growing cattle and sheep.
are well worthy Of the closest study.
