of Mrs. Clara (White) Mason, only child
of the late Levi and Elmina (Langdon)
White. formerly residents of this town,
the latter sister and the deceased a
niece of Mrs E. A. Langdon. But the
news was more startling because of
the death of Mrs. Masons husband,
which occurred Just nine days previous
to her own, she being too ill to attend
his funeral, and both dying of pneu-
monia. Mr.. Mason was Baptist clergy
man, man of prominence, graduating
from Colgate University with the degree
OF Bachelor of Arts entering afterwards
theological institution His wife was
a most estimable and devoted woman,
loved for her sterling qualities and the
death of these excellent and helpful
members of society has cast deep
gloom over the place. Within a year
the mother, Mrs. White, passed away,
so the entire household is wiped out,
saving two children aged eleven and
eight years.

FEEDING GREEN CUT BONE PAYS.

A. F. Hunter, who is one of the regular
contributors to the New England Farmer
not long ago said in the columns of that
paper: Feeding fresh cut bone to fowls,
to induce abundant laying, has proved II
decidedly profitable thing. The bones
are rich in animal matter, and contain
lime of which the egg shells are made,
and hens fed on fresh cut bone will lay a
larger number of eggs than if fed no
bone. Not only will they lay larger
number of eggs, but the eggs will be
stronger bodied, will be better eggs, and
if incubated will have better and stronger
chicks"
G. S. Page of Hyde Park, VT. on
receipt of SO 80 will forward TO anyone a
200 pound brrel of Green Cut Bone,
