in Stonington, after few weeks illness.
July 6, 1893, her husband. Capt. Dennis
H, Haskell, died on board the bark Shet-
land, which he commanded, on passage
from Sierra Leone, Africa, to Port Spain,
Trinidad, and was buried at sea. Mrs.
Haskell, then a young woman. was left
with two children, and another was born
a few weeks after her husbands death.
With these three children to PROVIDE Tor,
she turned her face toward the future
with a strong determination that they
should be. educated, whatever sacrifice
she was obliged to make for herself. Her
Oldest daughter, Laura, graduated from
the Castine Normal school and was
successful teacher up to the time OF her
marriage to Emery Bean. Her home is
in Houiton. Rachel and Lucy are gradu-
ates of the Deer Isle High school, and
the former is a popular teacher IN the
nublic schools. In addition to the care
Of her own children, she adopted several
of her brothers., who were orphans, TO
all of whom she gave mothers care. She
was good mother, kind, helpful neigh
bora strong woman who has borne
more than her share of life's battles: In
the midst OF her toll she met the Grim
Reaper, and faltered not. Surrounded
hv her children and friends, and all that
loving hands could do, she went peace,
fully to her reward. 1t can truly be said
of her

Spraying with iron sulphate solu.
ton to kill dandelion without killing

Department, although it has been
tried by some who consider it cue
cessful. Experiments do not seem
to establish it as very practical
method.
Not A Native
The dandeliOn is not a native Am.
erican plant, having been introduced
from Europe several centuries ago
and has spread westward with our
emigration. The weed is common al
over Europe and has gone into ether
lands with settlers from the Older
country, always being found near the
communities of man.
The name "dandelion" is said TO
come from the French, Dent de Lion"
which means tooth of lion and re.
feys to the tooth shaped edge Of the
leaf of the plant.

Pinch of Salt For The

various poisons to discover the most
efficient means Of Graduating this
troublesome weed from laws, but al
though others have been found salts
factory, the common salt is best for
general use as there is no danger ac-
Complying it's application.
The Departments specialists sa
that much effort is wasted in merely
cutting off the dandelion top without
applying some poison to the roots
that remains. The dandelion has a
tap root that grows deep into the
soil and cutting Off the plant merely
encourages the dandelion to come up
in thicker growth.

Remove Dandeiion

The time to eradicate dandelion is
in the spring before the plant has had
time to form seed. The seed spreads
rapidly, blown by the wind The
blossoms should be close mown be-
fore they have gone to seed and salt
should then be applied to each root.
A man may be very diligent in caring
for his own lawn and yet have seeds
blown in from neighboring lawns.
This is Of such Importance to those
made matter for community action
If the lawn is very full Of this weed
it is too tedious a process to treat
each plant by the salt process. In
this case two possible methods Of err
adicaIiOn may be recommended. The
this method is to thicken the stand Of
grass to tend to crowd out the dan
delion. The grass should be put in
to a vigorous condition by top dress
ing with Well-rOtted manure or fert-
iliZer in the fall, and by reseeding in

advised in extreme instances, is to
start all over again. Plow up the
lawn first Cor spade it up if the area
is small. A generous amount of we'll
rotted manure should then be worked
into the soil, but not fresh manure
for that is full of speed seeds ready
to terminate. In case manure is not
available, commercial fertilizer may
be used. Many lawn soils are in need
Of lime and it is often a wise plan to
use it, especially if white clover is

GOVERNMENT ADVICE
TO POULTRY SHIPPERS

The Department of Agriculture
gives the following warning:
The fact that it will soon he one
wear since the calamitous dressed
poultry season of 1913 wrecked many
handlers of poultry, sent tens of thou
sands of pounds of chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese to the crematory, and
left The consumer with such strong
aversion to the taste of the poultry
that reached the market In "of' CON
clifton that sales have suffered ever
since. is being used as the text of the
sermon which experts in poultry
handling in tho department are pre-
pairing TO poultry shippers all over
the country.
Shippers agree that the spoilage of
.Yessed poultry during the autumn on
1913 was unparalleled, and that the
rest of the year has been. financially,
one If the worst on record despite
the scarcity of meat. Specialists Ia
the department consider that the
blame rests chiefly upon the man who
killed, picked, chilled and packed the
poultry, and sent it to market. This
man bought the birds alive, hence they
were not decayed when he got them.
The railroads, in general, have worked
diligently at their refrigerator lines,
and it. is we'll known that shippers who
packed their goods properly found the
railroad service last autumn sufficient
ly satisfactory 10 deliver the product
in good order. The receivers of
POULTRY were hunting for stock that
could be sold to high-claSs trade
hut the inspector did not have to look
far FOR poultry that was absolutely
unfitfor food.
The department accompanies IT'S
words of warning with words Of adj
vice to the poultry dressers, telling
them how TO handle the birds toinsure
high quality and minimum change
in composition.
First. The packer. as soon as the
birds are received, should transfer
them to "hoIding batteries" which
