(Written Specielly for The Bulletin.) Glancing over a column of short paper, paragraphs in an agricultural the cther day, I bumped up into this oni a o 19 & i Hh oW t the fields T to the extent of mowing down or off or pulling up the weeds noxious shrubs along the other side of that same fence? I'm af3id not many. 1 judge others somewhat by myself, in such matters. While on several oc- casions I have made some motion crying for attention that I let it slde for that time. “Do it next time,” I say myself. “next time” seldom comes jore than to my neighbors! due other things press to nt that are just as absorbing as important as the first so the task is neglected. the choke cherry bushes grow up make breeding places for tent-cater- lars. And the weeds grow up to mature seeds for broadecasting before the wind. And the vines and briars Pegin to twist and wriggle through the ices, turning the fence into a snarl and tangle of slovenly untidiness, f i fEe 2 3 i 18 E It surely would improve the looks of ~ur fields It we would only keep the cleaned up o both _sides. ~ay” in the matter of dol- another question. No auch we appreciate Hdi- sur farms, not many of us me or the money to devote if that is the only result. ‘t fortunes made from other s which we can draw upon to shiue = up.. things with. What money we are to spend on the farm we must first get off the farm. And, as we all know, the task of getting enough to pay our bills and our taxes occupies pretty nearly all our time and strength. We haven't usvally much of either of those things left for frills and fancy work. There- fore we come to look upon all such ons first from the severely practical side. ‘Would it pay? That's something which _ every farmer has got to Settle for himseif and his own farm. But there ar two or three things which he might well consider in making up his mind. It will be self-evident at the outset that this tending to the weeds and bushes on “the other side” will cost time and labor. Both of which cost money. Yes, indeed. But the culti- vation of the crop costs time and labor and money. The weedler that crop is the more time and labor and money its care costs. One source for the propagation of weeds is the fonce hedge-row. They grow up there and %o to sced. The wind and the b scatter those seed all over big flelds. T don’'t know how one would go at it to ascertain what proportion of his weeds came from this source, but it is per- fectly self-evident that some do. Every one that does takes something in stolen fertility away from the legitimate crop. and has to be either cultivated or hoed or pulled out. We all admit that pre- vention is better than cure. I the ad- dition of these fence-row nurtured ‘Wweeds costs us, say, a dollar more in the work of eradicating them from among the crop, wouldn't it be “good business” to spend that same dollar reventing them from starting at all? Jf the spending of the dolar 1n Tence. cleaning saves the spending of a dollar in weed work among the crop, and at the same time conserves fertility for the crop d protects the fence from dccay and makes both fields look about fifty per cent. better, then it might be said to “pay,” I should think. For another thing, consider the value of the example set-to more shiftless neighbors. Most of us bave some of that sort about us. We are greatly in- clined to give them “a piece of our nind” now and then. If we yleld to the temptation and actually do so, the chances are that we cause hard feel- ings. Anyway, preaching is seldem as effective as practice; exhortation sel- dom as influential as example. Even the most easy-going and careless farmer can’t help being something like progress if his neigh- bors on both sides are right-up-to- the-minute cheps. If he sees their flelds kept clean and trim, their fendes neat and orderly, their weed-breeders - | checked, he can't help contrasting the difference in his own slovenly borders and being moved towards some sort of imitation, But I'm frank to say that what that quoted paragraph at the beglnning set me to thinking about, most of all, was not “the other side” of my own fences, but “the other side” of <certain line fences between me and my neighbors. Now, a line fence is always and every- ‘where a pretty ticklish thing to touch. That we all know. It's very often a mighty sore spot, too. Of course I have mo right, when I'm cleaning up along my-side of a line fence, to jump over and clean up my neighbor's side; no right, even if I have the time and inclination. And there's precious lit- tle use in keeping my side of such a fence clean and tidy if my neighbor maintains on the other side a hedge- Tow of bushes and briars and weeds from ten to forty feet wide. No fence will keep their roots from creeping under it nor thelr seeds from scatter- ing through or over it. For many years that has been the exact condition of things on my north line. The farm next me, that way, belonged to a slack farmer who, moreover, lived a mile from it and had very little interest in how it looked. As a result a very nasty hedge-row had grown up on his side the old, tumbledown fence. Spite of all I could do, suckers from his side were continually coming up on my side. At least twice a year I had to bush-hook them down, but this af- forded only temporary relief and the measly little stumps at last got so thick and so high that I was begin- ning to despair. Last year, however, he gold out. The new owner doesn’t like hedge-rows any better than I do. He promptly tore away the wretched relics of what had been a fence which belonged to him In the division and then, preparatory to putting up a be ter one, proceeded to plow out and dig out the weeds and briars and bushes on his side. - “Say,” hie called over to me, one day, have you any objection to my plow- lng out the roots and stumps on your side, too?* “Any objection™ I replied, “Lord bless you, I've been aching to ask you to do it, but was afraid you might think it was too cheeky for me to ex- Pect you to do my work.’ “Oh, well,” he responded, “I'm right here with horses and tools: it won't take me much if;any longer to do a £00d job ‘than a'half one; and- I guess it'll help me’ as mmuch as you to” have the whole. pesky snarl dug out.” So he went on, plowing out the whole thing, sometimes -six or eight feet over on my side, wherever there was call. When he got to a tangle which the horses and plow weren't equal to, I.went over with pick and bar and old-axe and: helped him, some- times on my side and. sometimes on his. We didn’t either ome of us pay the slightest heed ‘to: the position of our “line”” ‘When he comes to put up a.new fence, that will he of some im- portance, but, in the matter of clean- ing“up-the old hedge-row we neither of us stopped to pay attention:to-what might be “the other side.” As a result we've got several big piles of brush and roots and vines dry- ing till they can be burned, and we're soon going to have a fence without a tangle of trash to begin with, and which we shall both take pride in keeping clear and free from any future incursions of that sort. In actual fact, he must have put in some hours of work on my side. And I s’pose I put in some time on his side. The net result will be a substantial improvement on both sides and a com- fort if not a gain to both of us. 1 tell the little story simply to sug- gest that, even when “the l::‘tyher sider is somebody else’s land on which you have no rights or privileges of weed and bush cutting, by patient waiting there may often arise circumstances in which reasonable neighborliness and mutual consideration may accomplish desirable results, So far as interior fences on one's own farm are concerned, however, Frisbie’s Fertilizers “Made in Connecticut” for Connecticut Farms.

Mrs. Buckingham was for a number of years a member in the choir of the ‘Westfield Congregational church and has retained her membership. Appeal For Belgian Relief. The Danielson Trust Co. has made another appeal for contributions here for the Belgian Relief fund. Condi- tions in Belgium are still acute. Scores of thousands are without food and only the generosity of the people of the United States can save many of them from starving. Many of the Belgians are also without proper clothing and much money is needed and various kinds of urgently needed supplies. Funds donated here are forwarded through the regular chan- nels. FIVE IGNORED THE LAW. Grocers and Other Dealers Disobey ‘Weight-Marking Requirement. Charles A. Fine, deputy superintend- ent of welght and measures, and Walter T, Stiles, inspector of weights and measures, who have been working in Putnam and Dgnlelson this week, caused the attention of town court officials to be directed Friday to a number of cases that came to their attention as the result of their in- vestigation here during Thursday and Friday. The cases developed were variations from the statutes’ re- quirements relative to weights and measures and to exposing for sale £00ds in packages not labelea with the net weight of the contents or with a net weight marking not in accord with the actual weight. Varled lines of trade were represented by the deal- ers who were summoned to appear before Prosecuting Attorney A. G. Bill, at his office Friday afternoon. There was a total of five cases. Of these all but one was adjusted upon the payment of officers’ fees. In the other case a fine.of $20 and costs was imposed, but $15 of the fine was re- mitted. ~ There is one more case to be considered and -this will probably be taken up today. TO MEET IN CHAPLIN.

His father established a sewing machine bus- iness here and afterwards expended his commercial activities to include a music store, After leaving school Mr, Letters was engaged ih his father'’s store and was eventually taken into partnership under the firm name of W, H. Letters & Son. After the fathers death Mr. Letters became the proprietor f the business under the firm name of F. G. Letters & Company. Mr. Letters was very much inter- ested in music and was the organizer of the Music Block orchestra, an or- ganization of well known mausiclans which become very popular in‘ this city and surroundng towns and was continued with success for a number of years. Mr. Letters played the bass violin in this orchestra. Mr. Letters' first appointment as postmaster in Putnam was from Pres- idént Grover Cleveland, August 2, 1894, Between that date and his re. tirement from the office on March 31 of this year he received four addi tional appolntments under President: McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, Dur- ing all of this period his music bus- iness was in charge of compefent hands and it was his stated intention upon retiring from office so short a time ago, to devote his time to that particular interest. As postmaster in Putnam Mr, Let- ters made a remarkable record of ef- ficiency and was rated one of the best postmasters in New England. Under his administration the office advanced its rating from third class to its pres- ent classification. His twenty years of service for the government un- der both democratic_and republican constant and successful series of ef- forts to expand the business Of the postal service here. At his own expense, during the early years of his service, he caused letter boxes to be erected at various points in the city and daily collections of mail to be made, this being the be- ginning of city delivery service here. His administration witnessed the for- mal introduction of city delivery ser- vice under government auspices here and successively, the coming of the rural free delivery service, the parcel post and the postal savings depart- ments. The annual receipts of the office during the last years of Mr. Let- ters’ term were triple what they were when he took over the office. His term of office was also marked by the steady growth of all the new departments and by an increase, al- most annually, of the local postal force. During his administration also the government acquired a site for a federal post office building here and made an appropriation for the erec- tion of the same, but developments of an unforeseen nature have delayed its erection up to the present time, Mr. Letters had a host of friends in the city and a great many more throughout the state. He was de- servedly popular. His genial dispo- sition, generally sunny nature and fair-mindedness were all factors that combined with his business ability to make him an exceptionally well liked man. Al of this was amply illus- trated by the many tributes that were paid to his memory Friday by resi- dents of this cit~ Mr. Letters was vice president of the Putnam Savings bank and a dl- rector of the Putnam Foundry and Machine company.

FIRE IN LUNCH ROOM. Early Morning Blaze at Frank Pan- kus’ Place Soon Extinguished. At 3.10 Friday morning the fire de- partment was called out by an alarm from Box 41 for a fire in the lunch room of Frank Pankus in the Pelo- quin bullding on Pomfret street. The fire was quickly extinguished and be- fore it caused any great amount of damage to the building, Mr. Pankus was quoted Friday as stating that he closed his place of business at about 9 o'clock Thursday night. There was no fire in the place at the time. He left one of the win- dows open.. A theory is that some customer must have thrown a lighted clgar or cigarette butt on the floor and that, eventually, the draft through the open window fanned it Into a ame and set the place afire. The stock in the Bonneville cloth- ing store in the same building got a smoke treatment by the fire and the Peloquin saloon was also filled with smoke. 3 The quick response of the fire de- partment and prompt extinguishing of the Dblaze'saved what might have bean a disastrous fire, for a whole string of wooden buildings endangered by the blaze.
