On Monday afternoon, May ODD,
Mr.. John B. Thompson died at his
home in this village, at the age Of
forty-eight years.
Mr.. Thompson was born in the
house where he died, April q, 1862.
The son of Alexander Thompson
and Amanda Heath Thompson.
The father being for many years an
invalid, the subject of our sketch
was from early boyhood obliged
to be an active worker in the in
dustrial ield. Aside from a few
years at Newbury Center, Mr..
Thompson spent his life in our vii
lage. He was at one time an eX-
tensive farmer and conducted a
large freighting and feed business.
His ambition was ever beyond his
strength. For more than twenty
years he suffered much from illness,
and for the past five years, constant
pain at times almost undermined
his reason; but a strong will sus-
tanned him to the very last. The
last week of his life was one of ex-
cruciating pain, and each day he
longed for release, and passed on to
the higher life rejoicing to go. Dur
ing all his years of suffering, he
looked to his wife for strength; and
she was his constant attendant to
the end. Besides her, he leaves five
children, Mrs. n. A. Abbott, Misses
Amanda and Helen Thompson, John
Thompson Jr., and Lucia. Two
brothers, Frank and Will, and one
sister, Mrs. A. NJ. Bedell, survive
him. He was a great lover of chill
dren and took great comfort in his
four small grandchildren. He was
an honest and upright citizen and
respected by all. He was a firm
believer in good living, and died
strong in Christian faith.
The funeral was held from the
house Thursday afternoon, the Goth
of May. Rev. ]. F. Owens officiated
and Mrs. Owens rendered vocal Sc
lections. A very large number at
tended, and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The arrange
ments we're in charge OF A. Z. Hale
of Bradford, and the interment in
the local cemetery.

Take Your Boys to Farmers institute

The farmers institute is the farm
ers' school. 1t is the young farmers
and the boys who will be farmers in
a short time who especially need the
instruction which the institute is in
tended to furnish. Therefore, it should
be attended by the boys, whether the
old folks attend or not. The young
folks have less to forget. They are
less welded to preconceived opinions
They are more open-minded, and
therefore more receptive of new ideas
We never count on much good from
an institute where there are no boys
or young men. Where an institute is
filled up with retired farmers, as many
of them are, there is not likely to be
much good accomplished. That class
of men have largely quit thinking
about agricultural problems. Many OF
them have become stranded on the
sidewalk. Many of them are preju-
diced against any new ideas and new
methods. The boys are largely free
from this. They are more likely to
catch the spirit of the new agricul-
ture. They are not nearly SO likely
to weary the audience with theories
long since exploded.
Get the boys out to the institute,
even if you have to stay at home your
self. Encourage them to ask questions.
We would rather have one question
from a boy than two from retired
farmer. The question reveals the state
of the boys mind, and incidentally the
state of the minds of the boys in the
neighborhood. This acts as a sort of
range-inder for the speaker, and en-
ables him to state facts and principles
which otherwise might be overlooked.
There is class of farmers who are
boys until they are old men; that is,
they retain the receptivity of the boys
mind, the hunger. of the boy for new
ideas. There can not be too many of
these in an institute, no matter what
their age.
If your boys are really interested in
agriculture, or if you wish to interest
them, get them to the farmers insti
tute. Take them with you, if you can;
but if someone must stay at home, let
it be the father. The agriculture OF
the future in these western states de-
ponds largely upon the young men and
the boys. Therefore, give them every
Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

POWER OF ROOTS

The tremendous power of a pushing
root is a subject for marvel. 1t viii
lift tons by the swelling Of its slender
trunk, or rend rocks with the power of
dynamite, but silently and inYisibly.
The pertinacity and force of plants
Is occasionally shown in the great
cities in this wise. Some old Eesi-
dences have vines many years old
climbing up their weather-beaten
brown fronts. Their roots are deep
an the small front garden plot and their
tendrils were at first trained up slen-
der cords to the iron balconies on the
first floor. These slender green things
tWined in and out of the iron ratings
of the balcony like little serpents, till
they reached the vertical wall which,
nothing daunted, they began to climb,
Little by little the tender green stems
changed to hard woody tissues Whlch
swelled into fiat plaits to accommo-
date itself to the bars of the iron rail
ing through which it had woven itself.
But the accommodation was only for
NAL, for swelling steadily the vine
trunks appear today to have become
as large as q mans arm and the iron
rails which were its earliest support
have been broken in twain by tpe1r
ungrateful dependents.
. Another singular example Of the per-
tinacity of the roots is the following;
A drain pipe seemed to be choked. In
vestigation showed that a thread-hke
shoot Of tree root had penetrated
one of the minute pores of the clay
pipe; once inside the drain, the tendril
found such luxurious nourishment that
it grew and divided into branches,
which wound themselves in coil on
coil, until finally passage in the drain
was completely choked up.
It is said that bucketfuls OF tangled
filaments were taken out of this pipe,
which measured only eight inches In
diameter, while the skeins originated In
a single thread-like filament, back
through which coursed the abundant
nourishment to push on the growth
of the maple tree above ground

UNIQUE DISTRIBUTION OF GIFTS

A good way of distributing presents
was seen lately at the end of a cotil-
lion. Two people came in in masks and
dominos and silently offered a silver
vase containing tickets to each per-
son in the company in turn, one go
ing to the little boys, the other to the
little girls. They disappeared and re-
turned with peddler's tray suspend
ed round their shoulders, covered with
small gifts done up in white note
paper, with a number written in the
center of each.
The trays were handed round to the
children, who were to take the present
whose number corresponded with their
ticket.
Another pretty way of giving pres
ents is the birds nest. Nests must
be made of basket work and moss,
and placed here and there among the
boughs of a Christmas tree. At a Civ
en- signal the children are told to hunt
for the birds nest and rifle their con-
tents.
A tangle party is another idea for
presents. Length of ribbon or colored
twine are twisted about all over the
house, and the children are told that
If they can find the end of the thread
they can have whatever they will find
at the end of it. The ribbons begin
in one room and end in another. They
are passed through keyholes, twisted
round the balusters, and perhaps end
in the garret or in the kitchen.

THE FIRST OCEAN CABLE

The year 1869 was one Of many Inn
nortant events in American history,
two of which will forever rank as
among the greatest steps in the ma
tion's progress. The one was the COM
pletion of the Pacific railroad on May
10. after the repeated prediction that
such a feat was an impossibility; the
other was the laying of the first ocean
cable putting America and france on
close speaking terms" In traVers ng
the great prairies, plains and mountain
ranges west of the Mississippi, the nrst
railroad to bring the ports of the east
and the products Of the west into di-
rect touch had reached an altitude, In
the Black Hills, of S242 feet ABOVE
sea level. 1t had bored through noun
tains and bridged rivers in a way that
at that time created sensation, ana
the driving of the final spike at FRO
montory Point, in Utah, on that event.
full day in May was signal Tor uni
versal rejoicing. The Pacific and At
lantic oceans had figuratively shaken
hands across the continent, but there
remained for July IA of the same
year the achievement of that great
sister event-the sending of mes
sage from Brest, France, to DdXbury'
Mass, a distance Of 1857 miles.
The Atlantic cable, like the Pacific
railroad, had met with that deter
mined opposition born or sKeptlelsln:
But for the enterprise and faith of
Cyrus w. Field it would have been
several years later than 1859 before
the accomplishment of that great un-
dertaking. In the face Of failures
and great financial loss the dauntless
Field ] ought to a fulfllment that
wonderful achievement and bound by
the close ties of instantaneous COM
munication the two great hem
ispheres.
The little colonial house at Dux-
bury still stands where the first mes
sage was received, a beacon light. so
to speak in the progress of modern
civilization. In the work of laying
the cable another great marine
achievement was rescued from utter
failure On June 2S, 1860, the Great
Eastern, the largest vessel ever fioated
up to that time, and one far greater
than any of it's predecessors, com
pleted its first transatlantic voyage
by arriving in New York harbor. The
Great Eastern, however, had been a
failure, not so much because of her
size, as was thought at that time, as

POULTRY TALKS

IF eggs are wanted, and plenty of
them. obtain Matching eggs or stock
from a known egg strain, no matter
what breed. Breeders know the strain
must back the breed, and do not un-
derestimate the necessity or properly
feeding the laying stock, but they 90
know that feeding alone will not make
a good layer out of a poor one. Breed
ing plays a far more important part
than most poultry raisers believe.
The spring pullet that shows ten
dency to set before the winter sets III
had better go to the pot.
If you contemplate going into the
poultry business for other than mere
health's sake, don't know it all at
once. There Is more to learn a nun
dred wears hence. Poultry culture is
advancing as rapidly as any other
business, and what is new today VIII
be followed with something better
later. Don't know it all If you wish
to succeed and keep at the top.
There is considerable chickenpox
throughout the country-especialy Sc
we're in the east-sections 1t has never
been known. There are two forms or
chickenpox-the dry and moist. 1t Is
not fatal unless the fowls contract
colds. Plenty of fresh air and the ex-
ira cleanliness in the poultry house
will help ward off the malady. inc
use of creoline In the dry form of
chickenpox is good, putting 1t on with
a feather or stiff brush on the sore
places on face or head. Permanganate
of potash in the drinking water will do
much to keep the chickenpox from
spreading-color the water red In
bad cases, and pink color when placed
in pens that one wishes to prevent
rather than cure.
When starting in the poultry busi-
ness q great mistake many make Is
the purchasing of cheap stock or eggs
as foundation for future poultry opera
tions. By obtaining the right breed
adapted to your wants and condi-
tions. half the battle. is won.
Aspergillosis is a disease caused by
a mold known as aspergillosis fumi-
gatu. This disease resembles both
tuberculosis and liver disease. It af-
fects the air sacs and lungs and studs
the liver with points of necrosis, or
dead spots. A bird affected with as
pergillosis has liver trouble which
is not caused by overfeeding. but by
moldy grain. DR.. Morse in bulletin
on this subject says that the number
of fowls affected with this disease and
thought by the owners to be Jung
ers," because of the nodules on the
lungs, proved in 95 per cent of the
cases to have aspergillosis, and that
from a portion of those nodules trans
ferred to potatoes he was able In
almost every case to grow aspergtllo-
sis fumigatus Most incubator opera
tors have found in breaking un-
Matched eggs from the machine, eggs
which apparently were covered with
mold. Scientists claim that this mold
in an egg might be the cause of
chicks death in the shell, as the
| warmth in the incubator favors the
growth of the mold. Newly hatched
chicks have been known to have this
disease from breathing spores of mold
| in the nest.
