HORACE B. STEVENS
Another Lifelong Resident of Canaan -, Passes Away.

The death of Horace Bishop Stevens removes from this community life. long resident and one of the best known citizens of the town.
 For nearly seventy years he had been actively interested in the public life of Canaan. His knowledge of the town affairs. and former residents was un- usual. Possessed of retentive memory, he was able to recall with accuracy, incidents and events of former days. A series of these reminscences were published in our columns some five years ago, this preserving data that cannot now be duplicated.
 MT. Stevens was born March 13, 1882, at Canaan Valley, on the old Stevens farm, and in the same home in which his father before him was born. r..1
 His parents were Sanford Palmer and Almeda Collar Stevens He was one of eight children, only one of whom now survives, John l.. Stevens of Lewls, Iowa. E
 With the usual work of the home farm, attending the town schools and as teacher in No. school he was engaged up to his marriage, Nov. 25, 1858 to Emily Irene Foster of Norfolk. Mrs. Stevens died Dec. 2, 1899.
 To MT. and Mrs. Stevens was born one son. Frank Foster Stevens who survives him. In 1860 they adopted Elizabeth Perkins, giving her the name of Stevens, she became the wife of Charles l.. French, dying in 1908.
 For home of his own he purchased what had been the town farm in East Canaan, carrying on at the same time successful meat route which he sold in 1877 to Nelson Clark.
 In 1881 he disposed of the farm to Frank D. Gaylord and moved to Ga. naan, where he built the house on West Main street in which he spent the re. maining years of his life.
 He never quite lost his love for the farm; up to this last year he leased certain tracts of land, which he culti. vated in addition to his large garden. For many years he was dealer in live stock, making shipments every week tJ tue city markets.
 "D acon'' Stevens as he was faIn liArly known. was most active me .nber of the Methodist Episcopal chnrth, rarely absent from any sunday or week day service. For many years 8 trustee and steward. deeply interested ln tI.e success of every good cause. Due temperance forces of the town will miss his cooperation in their work for he gave himself without stint to the furtherance of that cause.
 In remarking on Mir. Stevens life at the funeral service Rev. E. O. Gil. lette noted the fact that the deceased was born of Baptist parents, converted in Methodist revival. joined the Con. gregational church, of which he became an honored deacon, withdrawing to unite with the Canaan Methodist Episcopal church to which he was de. votedly sttached until the very last.
 The funeral services were held at his late home last Friday afternoon, conducted by his pastor, Rev. A. H. Nesbitt assisted by Rev. E. O. Gillette. The burial was in the family plot at Hillside cemetery, East Canaan. The pallbearers being Fl. F. Beebe, Oliver Carter, H. H. Scutt and G., W. Parsons.

CONTEST AT SToRRS.

The hens in the laying contest pt their final sprint for the year. In the forty y-second week they laid total of 3472 or an actual gain of nearly 100 eggs as compared with the pf~yious week. yield. This means that all the hens in tho contest, good, bad aud in. different, laid, last week, at the aver age rate of nearly 50 per cent.
 The i've best pens for the week all hail from Connecticut. Clifford I. Stod- dard's White Leghorns from Wood bridge were an easy first with yield of 56 eggs. Merritt M. Clark's Barred Rocks from Brookfield Center won second place with production of 64 eggs. Three pens of Leghorns entered by Windsweep Farm, Bedding Ridge, F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, and Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, were next in order with yield of 52, 51 aud 50 eggs respectively. Thus it can be seen that these five laid 90 per cent more eggs than the average pen.
 Eight Barred Rocks, one White Rock, four White Wyandottes. seven Rhode Island Reds, three White orpingtons and two White Leghorns or total of 25 hens made perfect individual scores for the week by laying 47 eggs each. Obviously these are the sort to retain in this season of ultra high prices of feed. Not only this put these hens that persevere and lay through September and well into October, are believed to make the very best breeders fnr the. next seasons work.
