CABOT

Mrs. Emily Hoyt Haines passed away
at noon Tuesday, Dec. is, following an
operation for peritonitis. She was III
only six days. She was a daughter Of
Enoch and Hnldah Hoyt, was born in
Cabot, April 20, and had always resided
there. In April, 1861, she was united
in marriage to Ira II. Haines, son Of
Horace and Lucinda Haines, and went
directly to their present home to reside
Her husband was proprietor Of the
Haines' wooden mills until failing health
caused him to retire from business. OF
the three children given them, the two
daughters, Julia NJ. and Mary L., passed
into the unseen land many years ago
leaving the father and mother to Che
care Of the only son, Charles Fl. Haines,
now a merchant in Nashua, n. H. For
nearly a half century had they walked
hand in hand together, years Of gladness,
years Of sadness; keeping a closer step
as they passed adown the hill facing the
golden sunset of life. She helped to
make their home center for all that
made for the welfare of the church, Of
which she was q consistent member
from girlhood. In the neighborhood she
was kindly neighbor; and in the sick
room a welcome visitor; was quiet and
unobtrusive, but ever thoughtful Of
those in need. AS q wife and mother
she was among those OF whom Solomon
spake, Her children arise up to call her
blessed; her husband also; and he
praiseth her.
Funeral services were held at her
home, Rev. w. r, Sparhawk officiating,
whose comforting words gave the assur-
anoe that "she hath done what she
could" Her remains were laid to rest
beside her two daughters in the Lower
village cemetery. Her six nephews act
ed as pail bearers.

ereasing.
Seaweed is a valuable fertilizer. The
Irish peasants prefer it to manure,
and the farmers Of the Orkney islands
formerly let farmyard manure accu-
mulate unused on account Of its infe-
riority TO seaweed as a fertilizer.
The seaweed that ~ brought ashore
or drifts there is dried and burned,
and the ashes are spread over the
land. The ashes contain good pro-
portion Of potash and phosphates, and
some kinds OF weed also yield ni-
trates. These three substances are the
life Of vegetation, and for this reason
the ashes OF seaweed are an ideal food
for crops.
Some years ago French sea cap
tain attempted TO organize company
to send ships to the sargasso sea.
where they could easily collect big
cargoes Of drift weed and bring It to
France to be burned for the fertillz-
ing ashes. Capitalists told him, how
ever. that they did not think 1t would
pay to carry the weed so far, and the
money was not raised
1t IL asserted by some authorities
that the great deposits Of nitrate Of
soda which are sent from Chile to all
parts of Europe and the United States
to be spread over the firm lands were
formed by the decay Of huge masses
OF seaweed when the land WAS sunk
under the sea. Undecomposed parts Of
seaweed, 1t is said, are still found
there.
The attention Of the Cape Colony
government was recently called to the
fact that very large quantities OF sea-
weed are constantly being washed
ashore along the northwest coast, and
at last accounts the government had
sent for samples Of the weed to deter
mine Its value as a fertilizer.
Sir Humphry Davy was one Of the
first to recommend seaweed as a fer
tilizer about century ago. For gem
erations the inhabitants Of the Chan
mel islands have gained fair living
by collecting and burning the weed
and selling the ashes as manure.
These ashes are also largely used in
the British isles and along the Nor
wegian and French coasts.
The publications Of the United
States agricultural department say
that the use Of seaweed as a fertilizer
is increasing in this country, that for
long stretches of the New England
coast the weed Is utilized by the farm
ers for fifteen to twenty miles inland
and that 1t is especially favored for
the stimulation of clover fields. Rye
beach is almost always strewn with
the weed, and few lands ever show so
luxuriant growth OF red clover as
those in the neighborhood OF this
beach
The seaweed thrown up on the
shores in the neighborhood OF Cape
Town has long been regarded as an
expensive nuisance. The city govern
ment has for years been paying team
sters to collect the stuff, haul 1t away
and bury It. The amount Of weed thus
disposed of has been about 1900 tons
year..
The city authorities have now seen
a new light aud are spreading the
news among the farmers that the
weed is a very valuable fertilizer.

Mayor Dawley received letter Sat
urday from Prof. r.. G. Ham, chairman
OF the executive board OF the State

board, after conference, had decided
to accept Burlington's offer TO hold the
convention in that city in 1909 and ex'
pressed regret that Montpelier's cordial
invitation could not be accepted tnis
year.
Dennis o,Keefc, stonecutter, en-
ployed by Ryle and Mccormick, dropped
dead Friday night at his rooms, 8
State street after long Illness with
stone cutters consumption. He had
been i'll for months with the disease,
which he bravely fought of, and plan
ned to leave for Canada Saturday, in
the hopes Of getting some relief. His
heart failed at the last. Mr.. 0Keefe
was st. Johnsbury man, and leaves
a wife and child IN that town. lie is
also survived by two sisters in st.
Johnsbury, brother in Canada, and
one in Montgomery Center. He was
member cf the Eagles and well liked
among his acquaintances. His brother
was called to the city and the body tax
on Saturday afternoon to st. Johnsbury
where interment was made.
Fred D1inkwise and Harry Gahree
of Waterbury, the two men who weTo
brought to this city on Thursday by
c. c. Graves, on the charge Of larceny
of 20 chickens from one Walter H.
Sleeper, waa araignsd in city court
Saturday morning at their request, and
pleaded guilty to the charges preferred
against them. The first gentleman men
toned stated to the court that he had
previously served a sentence in the
house OF correction at Rutland fT per-
jury, but that he was not wholly TO
blanc for the latest charge against him
as be had only had ten of the twenty
Ave chickens which be and Gabree stole
from Sleeper u. c. GetcheIl Of this
city appeared and spoke good word
for the prisoner stating that to mis-
knowledge he was fairly decent sort
OF chap, as he had worked for him dur
ing the summer and had seemed honest
and reliable. He told the court that If
small 6ne was imposed on Drinkwisc,
he would sette /, and take it out in
work from the prisoner. Judge Harvey
was not inclined to 60 easy en- the
men, however, and sentenced him to
spend not less than five nor more than
six months in the house Of correction
at Rutland. Gabrce also pleaded guilty
to tho charge Of larceny and was SEN
fenced to not less than seven, nor more
than nine months at the house OF cor.
rection.

More Money In Live Stock Than Grain.
The value Of farm animals Is In
creasing rapidly, suggesting that
farmers Of the west are going more
and more into general farming, not
depending so much on raising grain
for market. The statement il made
by the American Cultivator. The
value Of farm animals is placed at
about $1,000 900, 900, or one-fifth Of
the entire value OF farm property.
The value Of receipts at leading mar
ket centers for about 100000 head
Of cattle, horses, hogs and mules will
total well over a billion dollars, this
sum Of the leading markets only, and
probably nearly as much more live
stock is sold at the smaller markets,
as 1t Is figured that about two-ffths
Of the farm live stock goes to market
during one year. or the annual in
come from live stock. cattle make up
about five-eighths. hogs one-fourth
and the balance sheep, horses and
mules. The great iron and steel in
dustry Is surpassed IN value OF ex-
ports by the shipments Of meat and
dairy products. The tendency Of all
lines Of animal products is toward in
crease, while the country is becoming
less and less an exporter of grain.
The farmers are wisely securing
double profit by turning their grain
into the home market and selling 1t
as finished product in the form OF
meat, butter and cheese. The United
States has more dairy cows C22,244,-
44@ than any other country In the
world, more horses, 23.ooo,532; more
mules, 4,o56,s99; more swine, $685.
