HOOD FARM AUCTION SALE OF
 JERSEYS AND BERKShIRES.

Hood Farm, Lowell. Mass, is so we'll known to the readers of this paper that it is not necessary to go into details in regard to the high quality of the stock owned at that great breeding establish ment. June II and 12, 1902, they will sell to the highest bidder 180 head of Jersey cattle and 125 Berkshire hogs. This is the greatest sale of the kind ever held in New England. There is such a large number and many of the calves are so young, that those who do not wish to-day the high prices usually brought by registered stock will be able to get some very desirable individ- uals at great bargain. Every dairy man and farmer can afford to get something to enrich his herd, either a bull, heifer or pig. It is the oppor- tunity of lifetime. Those who can not go, but have friends who will at- tend should commission them to use their judgment in selecting something from these famous herds. The cat alogue, which Hood farm has publish ed, gives great deal of information to those interested in Jerseys and Berk- shires, and it is a work of art. It will be sent to all who write for it.

Politically, he was a Democrat up to 1884, when he became Republican, and he has been ardent in his devotion to the party since that time. He was a member of St James Episcopal church, of Derby, for many years, and a vestryman thereof for more than 9 years; on his removal to Shelton in 1889 he was one of the first to assist in the formation of an Episcopal parish, the Church of the Good Shepherd, of which he is senior warden.

ON PROPER VACCINAION.

It should be made clear that proper vaccination is the only known method of specific value in conferring immun- ity from smallpox. The comparative ly short duration of this immunity should be insisted upon, and simple, intelligible description of the ordinary course of proper vaccination should be added. It would be extremely use full, in view of the wide diffusion of anti-vaccination literature, to make the frank admission that in the days of arm-to-arm vaccination, accidental inoculatIon with other disease, al- though extremely, was theoretically possible, but that the modern method of glycerinated calf lymph has now destroyed even the remote possibility of such extrinsic cdanger.-[The Satur- day Review.

DEATH OF REV ELIAS GILBERT.

WELL KNOWN METHODIST PREACHER.
 The subject of this sketch was born in Ridgefeld, February 26, 1911. He was the son of Jabez Mix Gilbert and was the last survivor of a large family, some of whom attained good old age but none so great an age as his. In early manhood he was member of the New York East Conference and had sundry appointments in this state, in- cluding Gaylordsville and the: Plains church in New Milford and SOuthbury. Under his labors in the last named place a great revival occurred and the house of worship now occupied by the Methodist church was erected. But in consequence of troublesome throat affection he retired early to the local relation yet continued to preach for many years, residing in his native place. His family consisted of four children, two of whom reached matur- ity, Harriet J4avinia, the late wife of Rev w. T. Gilbert of New Milford, and Emily, the widow of the late Rev R. l.. LOomis. Mrs Loomis resides with her only daughter, Mrs J. F. Mohler, in Carlisle, Penn. MT Gilbert had not been free from the intirmities frequently incident to advanced age, and had of late made his home with MT and Mrs Charles B. Sherwood in Danbury. His death occurred Sunday morning, May 25, at the age of 91 years and three months. Dr Wilson, pastor of the Danbury Methodist church, officiated at his funeral. He. was buried in the Ridgetield cemetery, Rev Horace Byrnes: pastor of the Ridge field Methodist church, rendering the service at the grave.
