DANIELSON Chief A. P. Woodward, of the fire de- partment, announced that this (Wadnes- fay) evening the old General Putnam steamer, which has been standing unused At the central fire station for more than two years, will be given a tryout to de- termine it condition. Chief Woodward has obtained the necessary permit. It is the intention of Chief Woodward to keep this plece of fire apparatus in uctive service when occasion requires. 1t Is capable of being of great assistance in an emergency and would come in par- ticularly handy in fighting any big fire that might develop in the business sec- tion, seconding the efforts of the new and powerful modern pumper that is sow the most depended upon plece of ap- paratus in the department Chief Woodward has removed the pole which formerly figured in the drawing of the steamer when horses were used by the department and has had a towing ron made, so that the steamer can be trawn by the motor of the hook and lad- ler outfit, which is so rigged as to per- wit of quickly removing a coupling de- tice and releasing the motorized part of he truck, leaving the ladder part jackel 1p forward on two “horses” that Chief Woodward has procured The chief fig- wres that the ladder truck could he hauled to a fire, left there while the motor section of the apparatus hurries sack to the station fo rthe steamer. Tonight's trial of the steamer will be on School street near the foot of Canter street. Chlef Woodward anticipates that the steamer may leak a bit when ot \s first fired because of its long period cf disuse, but that it will prove itself ser- viceable and ready for any real fire fight- Ing that may develop for it to do.

The coms e was to ve made ts report to the club Tuesday evening. In the meantime the club members huve been polishing up the old high wheels, safeties and tandems with a iew to making the pilgrimage into this own. It does not necessarily follow hat the wheels will be ridden in coming o this town, for most of the wheels own- s4 by club members are set under a shassis which mounts a motor and a comfortable tonneau. But you can't blame the boys for looking over the “bikes” as they used to years back when getting ready for a biz day. The Ponemah Wheel club is one of Taftville's sidest social ‘organizations and first saw the light way back in some period of antiquity It is asserted by “Jake” Benoit, who is a member of this year's committee of arrang that some of the club members were with Sheridan on his famous ride at Winch er, and so there is a natural appeal Wildwood vark, where a names the famous general is In charge It has been the sustom of the club to hold its annual sutings at Poquonnock drawbridge, but his year a change is in view, so the draw and bridge will be divided and both \llowed, in a quiet way.

McKeon Prior, 38, was lying dead in the drawing room section of a Pullman car of the New York-Bos- ton express, via Waterbury, when the train pulled into the Putnam station, Boston-bound, Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Prior, a resident at 128 Orchard street, Springfield, Mass., collapsed as the train was passing through Pomfret and was dead when the train reached this city. and a graduate nurse who was accom- panying Mrs. Prior, that the dead wo- man had been a patient in the Hartford hospital for some time past and was be- ing taken to Boston to consult a special- ist when the end came so suddenly and unexpectedly. Dr. Edward F. Perry, who had been summoned to the station in the hope that something might be done for Mrs. Prior, pronounced her dead up- on the arrival of the train here. Dr. F. A. Morrell, medical examiner, gave per- mission for the removal of the body to to work Monday morning, making ap- proximately 100 employes now at work in the big plant, there is little change in the situation. The strike is dragging along much the same as it has for the past three weeks. September 15 now seems to be definite- Iy set as the date when the new state highway to Providerce via Little Rest will open for' through travel. Splendid progress is now being made in building the new route from South Killingly east- ward toward the Rhode Island line and excepting for a short stretch near ‘the Bliven place in South Killingly the low- er course of crushed stone is on the en- tire distance to near the top of Dark Lantern school house hill. Two crush- ers, one at South Killingly, the other at Dark Lantern, are turning out crushed rock as fast as it can be applied to the highway and rolled down. Over on the Rhode Island end of the job fine progress also is being made. The splendid new route, in all probability will be ready for use in six weeks, open- ing up the shortest and best trunk line between Providence and Hartford. Sheriff and Mrs. Charles E. Ayer and daughter, Miss Edna Aver, had what the sheriff describes as the loudest call in his motor experience, while he was driv- ing up the steep incline on which there is a sharp curve, just east of Glens Falls railroad crossing near Moosup. A Rhode Island car, out of —control, came tearing down the grade and bare- ly missed Sherlff Ayer's car as it shot past him on the wrong side.

Nearly two months must elapse, how- ever, béfore the senatorial convention assembles to name the candidate of the republican party. which is the party that has regularly managed to elect its candidate in this distriet. If recent reports from Woodstock are reliable, the suggestion through the charaber of commerce that Putnam peo- vle do not relish such general bathing in the waters of the lake that furnishes the water supply for Putnam is not hav- ing much effect in reducing the bath- ing. Many of the campers and other summer - visiters were said Tuesday to be regularly bathing in the lake. The work traim laborers’ difficulties that resulted in the great majority of them leaving work about two weeks ago seem to have subsided, and it was stated here Tuesday that practically all of the group who had quit work had returmed to thelr -jobs.

Every farmer in Connecticut ought to see the alfalfa on ths farm of John Gamme of New Fairfield. Alfalfa 30 inches tall, thick and vigorous along side of an “old mowing” with weeds and many kinds of grasses full three inches high would make any farmer's eyes sparkle. To good seed, plenty of lime and plant food and inoculation, Mr. Gamme credits his success. HEAVY 1IN GROWERS TO FIGHT BORERS Farmers are requested to notify thew county agent immediately if evidence of the European corn borer is found. The female moth whose eggs hatch in- to larvae of the corn borer, is pale yel- low in color and has a wing expanse of about one inch. eggs In masses of from five to fifty, and these hatch into larvae about one-fifth of an inch long. The larvae have a black head and a white body covered with black or brown spots. The eggs and larvae will be found on the under side of the leaves and evidence of the borer will be found in the ears of infest- ed stalks. There are, however, other insects which are often mistaken for the Eu- ropean corn borer. One such is the Northern corn root worm, a whitish ASKS CORN Herbert L. Reade has gone to Canada+ ETub which is about two-fifths of an inch long ‘and which burrows into the roots of | the plants. There is also the corn ear worm, a green or brownish striped cat- erpillor which feeds on the corn beneath the husk. The latter pest last year gave considerable trouble to local growers, but it can be controlled by dust- ing with arsenate of lead powder. Gen- erally, however, the damage is not great enough to justify the expense of labor involved. s, CUT CLOVER AND TIMOTHY EARLY No clover does not gain in weight from the time it blossoms until the seed ripens, therefore cut it as the blossoms The female moth lay=- start and get the second.crop growing. Furthermore timothy and clover con- tain more protein when blossoming than when ripe. It may be had to delay the fishing, but start haying early and you have another crop to cut and surely your hay will be of better quality. CUT ALFALFA AT RIGHT TIME FOR BEST YIELD Unlike timothy and clover, alfaifa is very particular as to the time it is cut if the largest yields of hoy are to be obtained throughout the season. Many farmers think that the blossoming is an indication of the harvesting stage. However, blossoming varies with differ- en varieties and seasons. Watch for small shoots starting out from the crown and when these are about an inch long, start the mower, says J. C. Owen, crop specialist for the extension service at Storrs. Do not wait until the mower would clip these new stalks, for that would delay the next crop. The leaves of alfalfa are both palat- able and nutritious and, with a little care, may be saved unless the weather is extremely unfavorable. One good method is to rake into very small wind rows before the hay is very dry, then turn the windrow occasionally until ready for the mow. Avold tedding. If rain or dew are not present, any hay is ready for storing if no juice appears when a wisp is twisted tighly. Dew or rain needs to be removed thoroughly to insure palatable hay and to avoid spon- taneous combustion in storage. TIME OF YEAR FOR IMPROVEMENT CROP “At this time of the year when the early garden crops are beng finished, the home or market gardener cannot do bet- ter than plow or spade in the refuse plants of peas, beans, turnips, lettuce. cabbage or whatever the crop happens to be, and sow the area now to a soil im- provement crop, says a county agent. “This is a sensible forward looking practice, caluculated to do many helpful things by way of improvement to the garden next season.
