Mather Brooks, whose wife was Miss Dell Browning, of Norwich, the New Haven Journal- Courier says: Herman Mather Brooks, sales agent for the Jones Laughlin Steel company of Pittsburgh, with an office in_the First National bank building, New Haven, was found dead at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning at his home, 66 Hubinger street, after having been missing for seven hours. His wife and brother-in-law, Edward I. Atwa- ter, found Mr. Brooks sitting in a chair in the bath room of his home. Dr. A, W. Leighton, who was sum- moned, decided that Mr. Brooks must have been dead six hours when his body was found. He gave acute in- digestion and heart failure as the cause of death. His wife had expected him to re- turn for supper at the Atwater house at 6 o'clock. 'When he did not return at midnight Mrs. Brooks and others at the Atwater home became alarmed. Mrs. Brooks and her brother started for the Hubinger street house to in- vestigate. The lights in three of the sooms were burning. When his body was found Mr. Brooks was wearing his overcoat, and the members of the family are inclined to believe that the attack came upon him suddenly. Mr, Brooks was 42 years of age, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Brooks of Brookvale, near Che- shire, He was graduated from the Cheshire academy, and for many years followed mercantile pursuits in New Haven. He was with the Jones- Laughlin company for several years. He was a member of Quinnipiack club, the Masons, Odd Fellows,, and the New Haven Country club.

Large Attendance at Meeting At the regular business meeting of New London County Pomona grange, No. 6, Patrons of Husbandry, in Py- thian hall, Thursday, the members vot- ed the sum of $15 towards the flnanc- ing of a corn fair which it is planned to hold in the town hall at some fu- ture date. W. O. Rogers announced that he would see that the $15 was raised to $25. This makes the total pledged so far just $100. Morning and afternoon segsions were held. with Worthy Master I. E. Crouch in the chair. The roll showed the abscfitees to be Mrs. Ernest Miller, Flora, of Preston City, Erva Barnes, steward of Preston City, and Mrs. H H. Leeland of Waterford. Four Demits Granted. Demits were granted to M;:d Ctmsa don of Colches! ge, V. &an Mrs. G. Elmer‘el'.‘zg::ur of Bozrah grange, and I. L. Hale of Lebanon grange.

Rogers of Nor- wich grange, No. 172, was appointed a member of the executive committee for one year, to fill out the unexpired term of the late Carroll Staples of Colchest- er_grange. Intersting remarks were made by Mer Chapman, worthy master of Washing- ton County Pomona grange, Rhode Is- land, and Mrs. Chapman. The sum of $15 was voted towards the fund be- ing raised for the corn fair which is to be held at some future date. It was voted to reinstate Harriet Beck- er of North Stonington grange. F. C. ‘Warner of the New London County Improvement league was present at the miorning session and explained the nature of the proposed corn fair. At the Afternoon Session. Worthy Master Crouch gave his an- nual word at the afternoon session which was called to order at 1.30 o'clock. Fred Taylor of Lebanon grange, Alice Bishop of Bozrah grange and B. F. Avery of Ledyard grange wera appointed a committee to draft suitable resolutions on the death of Mercy E. Fuller of Lebanon, a charter member of the Ppmona and also of the Lebanon grange. The Lecturer’s Programme. The lecturer's programme opened with a piano duet by Mr. Montgomery and Mrs. Allen, both of Ledyard. Then folowed a reading by Lela Montgomery and a solo by Brother Montgomery. Rev. E. F. Goodenough made a highly interesting address on The New Agriculture and the Religious Lead- ers. From the days of the Nomandic Abraham until now, scientific agricul- ture has been maintained, said Rev. Mr. Geodenough, Abraham, the father of the faithful was such a good herds- man thaat his flocks increased out of proportion to his pasture and he had to separate from Lot so that they wouldn’t get their flocks mixed up. He gave Lot his choice of land, and he (Abraham) took just such a hilly coun- try as rocky New England. After the beginnings of Christianity throughout the early and later middle ages, agriculture wzs discouraged by the wars of Europe. In just one place they were nourished, the monasteries. Rev. Mr. Goodenough went on to speak of the progress made in agri- culture during the years that followed the middle ages. In closing he said: Christianity, whomever it may be taught or preached, is a thinking re- ligion. It teaches the open eye and the understanding heart, and all agri culture grows scientific if these av- enues of knowledge are kept busy. A sketch, Farmer Corntossel and Family in New York, was given by Mrs. Lizzie Culver, George Montgom- ery and Miss Leila Montgomery of Ledyard grange. Professor Esten's Address. Prof. Esten of the Connecticut Agri- cultural college at Storrs made a timely address on The Agriculture as revealed in the recent Studies of Soil Bacteria. Prof. Esten said: The present price of sodium ni- trate makeg it prohibitive for use in general farming. Potash is difficult to purchase at any price. Acid pho: phate prepared with sulphuric acid, which_latter has advanced in pricq from $5 to $25 a ton, is too expensive to use in profitable crop production. These conditions are ‘“blessings in disguise,” to the farmer, for we are forced to turn to the immeafate supply of nature. These sources of plant foods are on and in the very soil wi cultivate. These “acres of diamonds” we can dig out of our farms if we know and practice the science of agri- culture. Know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Truth is knowledge and knowledge is power. The practice of buying plant foods at retail, raising crops from them and selling the produce, a manufactured product, at wholesale is a paradoxi- cal business proposition. No busi- ness or industry can ever thrive on these conditions. ‘The sources to which we must turn for plant foods are the air, the soil beneath, the sub- soii below, lime from the quarries, and phosphorus from the Tennessee mines. The air furnishes the most necessary and most costly element, nitrogen, not even at wholesale prices, but for less than nothing. The air furnishes a premium for the nitrogen fixed in a plant by bacterial action. Bacteria will fix nitrogen in all the legumes we are willing to cultivate, and they will do it free of charge. This Is the most im- portant factor in the problem of sofl fertility. “One of the greatest problems in the maintenance of soil fertility for the maximum production of crops is how to secure and keep a sufficient su ply of available nitrogen at the lea cost. For most of our arable lands it is now pretty well agreed that this is a problem of bacteriology with the soil as a culture medium. As in mo: other great problems, nature and p: tical experience have pointed the way to its solution. Many of the standard practices of cultivation, crop rotation, etc., which have developed from expe- rience have very important relations to hacterial action in the soil. In fact, the true relation of many of these practices can be understood only from the standpoint of bacterial avtivity. Fallacy of Depending on Commercial Fertilizers. A fifty bushel crop of corn requires seventy-five pounds of nitrogen. As thirty to forty pounds of nitrogen are leached out of every cultivated acre each year there will be needed for this crop at least one hundred pounds of nitrogen. The application of half a ton or 2-8-2 fertilizer per acre will fur- nishk only sixteen and one-half pounds of nitrogen. By this treatment we shall lose each year eighty to eighty- five pounds of nitrogen per acre. This continued would soon result in com. plete nitrogen exhaustion. Phosphorus Problems. The only sources of phosphorus are the supplies in the soil, basic slag from the smelting of iron ores, and the mines of phosphate rock in several states. Acid phosphate is the result of mixing sulphuric acid with rock phosphate. On aecount of the use ¢ sulphuric acid in the making of mu- COUNTY POMONA WORKED 5TH DEGREE in Pythian Hall Thursday— Voted $15 Towards Financing of Corn Fair—Interesting Address by Storrs Professor. ] nitions its price is too high to admit of its use in acid phosphate. Those farms which are well supplied with phosphorus are very fortunate for a part of their fertility problem is solved. It is a very simple matter to make phosphorus soluble by bacterial activity. That phosphorus compounds are insoluble in the soil presents one of the most providential factors of soil fertility conservation. The source of phosphorus first to be considered is that already present in our sofls. If this is inadequate turn to our legumes to bring it up from the subsoil. If these two are not sufficient we must turn to the cheapest and most abundant source—the phosphate mines nearest. Have it shipped in car lots direct. Do not allow it to pass through the middlemen’s hands. Then make it soluble in your soil with large amounts of leguminous organic matter fermented by bacteria whivh liberates organic acids, thus freeing the phosphorus and making enough soluble for plant growth, Organic Matter. The vital principle of the soil is the growth and activity of bacteria. Or- ganic matter is the food for bacteria. Organic_matter is the food for bac- teria. The thres kinds of orsanic matter are plant residues, farm_ma- nures, and green manure crops. When large crops are raised there is left a large root system with the stubble which will furnish next year's crop with a part of its roots stems, leaves and grain or fruit. No crop residue should ever be burned for it destroys all the nitrogen and all the food for bacteria. It robs the soil of its cf- ganic matter and humus which is so vital a part in crop production. Farm Manures. The value of farm manures in the United States is two and one-fourth billion of dollars. This weighs one billion tons and contains five million tons of potash. Half of this potash is allowed to leach away and runs out into the oceans. It should be saved and this two and one-half million tons of potash made available would be very significant compared with the minor amount of two hundred and forty thousand tons of potash import- ed. In normal years we import two hundred thousand tons of potassium for which we pay twenty-four million dollars. The larger part of this out- lay is wasted. As sources of nitrogen and potassium it is the duty of every farmer who raises live stock to pre- serve farm manures. The preserva- tion of one-tenth the potassium lost v{ould Just equal the imported potas- sium. Value of Farm Manure. A thousand pound cow produces about seventy pounds of fertilizer in a day, or twelve and one-half tons in a year. This rth nine cents a day. The moisture part is worth six cents a day and the solid three cents. It so happens that the farmets ger erally save only the three cents’ worth of solid. The leachable part, which has twice the value of the remainder. is allowed to disappear. The total value of cne cow’s production during the year is $32.85, $21 worth of liquid and $11 worth of solids. Most farmers save only the solids. It so happens that farm manures are rich in potash and poor in phosphorus. This is ex- actly the same condition existing in our soils. They are rich in potassium and poor in phosphorus. A ton of farm fertilizer is worth about $2.50. To reinforce this ton of farm fertilizer with rock phosphate or “floats” will make the crop producing power of that ton of fertilizer worth $5, or just dou- ble its value. Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins has said, “I doubt if there is any op- portunity open to honest men in the United States that offers greater re- turns on the investment than in the balancing of farm manure for use on ordinary normal soils, than putting intd the farm manure that which it lacks to make it a balanced plant food.” Fertility Maintenance. “In_the long run there can be no question that the farmer who under- stands and practices the keeping of live stock, and the production, preser- vation, and use of farm manure, will secure a much better income from the land, whether he owns or rents it, than the one who depends upon com- mercial fertilizers alone for the mai tenance of the fertility of the so while as for the farmer who under- takes to take everything from the land without making any restoration his liberty will eventually be taken from him and he will become the servant of wiser men, either on the farm or elsewhere.”—C. E. Thorne, director of the Ohio Experiment Station. The prize offered for the grange hav- ing the most number of members at the meeting went to Preston City grange. St e WEDDING. Quinn—Converse. Frank Quinn of No. 10 Gilmour street and Miss Ethel Converse of No. 245 Broad street were united in marriage at the rectory of St. Mary’s parish at 5.30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Rev. J, H.

At the past meetings the exchange of ideas and observations, as well as the messages brought by experts from va- rious part of the country, have had a tremendous effect upon progressive legislation and humanitarian uplift is becoming more fully recognized aach day. The general public has come to appreciate that the conference is not working along the lines of theory ex- cepting inasmuch as theory has a prac- tical application te the hundred and one problems that are encountered daily by those directly or indirectly connected with charities and correc- tion work. The officers and commit- tees, as well as those attending the conference sessions, include not only those directly engaged in charities and correction work in cities and towns, but men and women well known in other walks of life. MANY SLIDERS ON BROADWAY HILL. Double Ripper Parties Enjoy Winter Sport Thursday Night—Several Sleighing Parties Visit Norwich. USE FOR PUFFED:-UP, BURNING, ACHING, CALLOUSED FEET AND CORNS. ‘Why go limping around with aching, puffed-up feet — feet so tired, chafed, sore and swollen you can hardly get your shoes on or off? Why don’t you get a 25-cent box of “Tiz” from the drug store now and gladden your tor- tured feet? “Tiz" makes your feet glow with comfort; takes down swellings and draws the soreness and misery right out of feet that chafe, smart and burn. “Tiz"” instantly stops pain in corns, callouses and bunions. “Tiz" is glor- ious for tired, aching, sore feet. No more shoe tightness — no more foot torture. The ideal night, full moon and mild weather, prompted several sleighing and coasting parties. Thursday night Broadway Hill was replete with single sleds and double rippers from early evening until late. ‘There were at least six large double rippers. The | sleds were stopped at the- Wauregan house corner by Policeman P. Murphy. A party of Baltic young people came here in a large two-horse sleigh and stopped for refreshments. Those in the party were Misses Anna Cahill, Maud Buteau, Madeline Gallagher, Dorothy Wood, Louise and May Dres- cher, Ruby Ericson, John Drescher, Lawrence Drescher, Willlam McGill, S.

The boy took all the chickens tn the coop to his father. Two were missing and Mr. Hertz sent his son back to get them. They were not to be found, but the boy did find a coat and pair of mittens which Mr. Hertz recognized. as belonging to a man who had done work for him the day before. He notified Captain D. J. Twomey at police headquarters of the missing chickens and of the discovery of the coat and mittens. Mr. Hertz described the owner of the coat and mittens and said he lived on North Thames street, but could not give the man’s name. Captain Twomey, acting on this in- formation, surmised who the man was and sent Sergeant Kane and Officer Mr. Fadden to his home. One of the chickens was found in the man’s houss and was later identified by Mr. Hertz. The other could not be located, as Devlin refused to tell what had be- come of it. Devlin will appear before the city court this morning on a charge of theft. hle was in court earlier in the week on a non-support charge.
