Death of Mrs. David w. Durgan

Mrs. David w. Durgan, who had been
In poor health for the past three years,
died very suddenly last Friday night at
the DR.. w. T. Slayton place, on the
shore of Lake Lamoille, where the fami-
ly moved very recently from the A. N.
Terrill farm. Death was due to cancer,
for which disease the deceased had been
treated since moving to town three years
ago.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon from the home, Rev. p. A..
Smith OF the Methodist Episcopal church
officiating. Interment was in the Cady's
Falls Cemetery.
Jane McAllister Durgan was born in
LaChute, P. O., May 6, 1855, daughter
at John and Jane Dobbie McAllister,
both natives of Scotland. The family
purchased the Albert Terrill farm, which
they recently sold, three years ago, com.
ing here from New York state. Besides
husband, two daughters, Misses
Myrtle and Bertha, who are attending
school in this villrge, survive; also sis
ter, who has resided with the family for
some time. Much sympathy is felt for
the family in their great bereavement.

Death of Mrs. p. G. Wood

Mrs. Eunice Noyes Wood wife of
Philemon G. Wood, died on Tuesday
evening, April 2S, after long and severe
illness, the cause of death being harden
ing of the arteries. During her long ILL
ness she was a patient sufferer and bore
her illness with great fortitude. The
funeral was held from her late home on
Friday afternoon and was largely at
tended Rev. w. r. Hamlin was the
officiating clergyman, with Erwin Lilley
in charge. There was large floral trib-
ute, among them being white carna-
tions from the Home Culture Club. The
burial was in the village cemetery.
Mrs. Wood was the youngest daughter
of the late Gilbert and Mary Noyes of
Wolcott. She was born in that town,
there being three children-the other
two, Mrs. Mary Noyes Sizer, died in 1899,
and Chas. Noyes, died in 1865. Mrs.
Wood is the last of the family and also
of that branch of the Noyes'.
Sept. 2l, 1858, she married Mr.. Wood
at Woleott and lived there several years,
going from there to Cady's Falls and
then coming to this place fourteen years
ago. Two children were born to them,
Moves G. Wood and Mrs. Effie Putnam,
both living here.
Mrs Wood was a kind and loving
mother and devoted wife, her heart
was in the home and it was there she
delighted most to be. Those who had
the privilege of her acquaintance found
her to be possessed of rare intellect and
took great pleasure in her friendship.
She will be greatly missed, not only by
those of her own household but by many
friends. The sympathy of all goes out
to the bereaved ones in this their deep
sorrow.
Among those from out of town to at
tend the funeral we're Moses Leach, Mrs.
S. A. Fife, Wolcott; Chas. Jones, Hard
wick; Il. 5. Livingston, Mr.. and Mrs. j.

HUMUS IN THE SOIL

The statement is very frequently
made that marsh soils must be fertile
since they produce an abundant nat
ural vegetation. This argument, how
ever, is not conclusive. 1t is very
probable that the growth made each
year is in large part the result of
the decomposition of the crop of the
preceding year.
When all these facts are considered
it seems very probable that the chief
action of vegetable matter with ref.
erence to fertility of the soil is in sup.
plying the crops with, its content OF
the various elements. The black
humus, which is residual product
formed under natural conditions
where the soil is not we'll drained and
is not cultivated, has in itself very
little if any direct action of chem
ical nature which affects the fertility
of the soil. Indeed it seems quite pos.
sible that this inert, waxy humus may
be injurious, inasmuch as it forms a
coating around soil grains and thus
prevents natural weathering by the
action of soil water containing carbon
dioxide and acids resulting from the
decomposition of the fresh vegetable
matter. This natural weathering of
the soil grains undoubtedly supplies
a small amount of mineral matter in
form available to plants, and hence
there is continual addition to the
quantity of mineral elements in the
vegetable matter under natural con-
ditions.
Some soils, such as those of GU,
western prairies, have large amount
of organic matter which has not gone
through the final stages of decomposi-'
ton. This is in condition to under
go further decay after being broken
down and it, therefore supplies large
amounts of available material essen
tial to plant growth for a number of
years. Others having a relatively
small amount of such material are
fertile for short time and become
exhausted after a few years of Gull
tivation.
In some cases the vegetable matter
either has too small a percentage of
the mineral elements, especially phos-
phorus and potassium, or else it's de-
composition is too slow to set free
sufficient supply of these elements for
plant growth.

GOOD ROADS
AND BAD ONES
BY Howard H. Gross, Special
Agent, u. S. Department
Of Agriculture.

We often hear farmers say: "Why
for eight or nine months in the year
we have fine roads, good enough for
anybody. OF course, there are few
days now and then after heavy rains
when wheeling is heavy, but the roads
soon dry out and are good again"
In the above defense of earth roads
(and it is the strongest defense posi-
ble) lies really the strongest reason
80 days in the month and IL months
in the year. After heavy spring or
summer rains, when for two or three
days the land is too wet to work, is
just the time when the farmer or his
wife would like to go to town to do
the shopping, and the teams are nee
essarily idle. Bad roads prevent the
trip.
In the winter and spring for three
or four months, the roads are usually
bad, and often worse, and this is the
only time of all the year when the
farmer and his family are not busy,
when they have plenty of time to run
or it ought to be. Do bad roads add
to the pleasure of this holiday season
and make it one of enjoyment and i'm
provement? Far from it. Roads that
are nearly always good" are usually
bad at the wrong time. Like the
balky horse, they fail when most
needed.
| Less than 40 years ago the town
ships of many of the middle western
states voted bonds to help build the
railroads. Is there any reason why
the railroads should not now help the
farmers improve the highways over
which their freight must come to
them? This is one of the features of
the State Aid plan-the taxing of all
who are benefited, instead of placing
the entire burden upon the farmers
shoulders.
