His own experiments and those of Mann and others in the west have shown that the cheaper raw rock phosphate is quite as effective and a good deal cheaper for this purpose than acid phosphate. Similarly, experiment has shown that raw limestone is quite as valuable i its action on the soll and dts effect on the bacteria as burnt lime—and a good deal safer and cheaper. n is simply the practical applcation to practical farming of the discoveries mme in regard to bacterfal action in e soil II bacteria will draw from the Mmlit- transmute it into such forms as those crops-can feed upom, why waste money buying high-priced nitrates? That the bacteria will do exactly this, is now an admitted and accepted fact. Also, if the bacterla will release from the almost unlimited supplies of potash lying dormant in practically all soils the potash our need, and supply it to those crops im fthe forms they de- mand, then what is the use of spending money for German potash? This eliminates the costliest two fac- tors in the fertilizer problem. The two remaining, lime and phosphate, are both American products, handy to come at t|and cheap to buy. The fifth factor, viz,, green manuring, is always at our command. For green manuring means eimply the regular return to the soil of all the weeds and tops and crop- wastes taken off it. Its purpose is not only to make “humus” but to nurture the bacteria, and encourage them to do their best. This is an especlally good time to think about anything and everything which will tend to revive New England agriculture. ‘What ‘with raflroad strikes, 'neverything, it looks as if New England cities might find it increasing- ly difficult to fill their bread-baskets the coming winter, It would mean a good many dollars in the pockets of New England farmers if they, the said farmers, had raised the crops. the cities will clamor for. The decadence of New England farm- ing in the past forty or fifty years has been due to a combination of circum- stances which are not going to work al- ways. The first cause has been lack of labor, due to the rush of young peaple to the cities. Another has been cheap freights from the west Another has been the lack of capital to supply ade- quate fertilzer on worn-out farms, The first of those 'difficulties, 1. e., lack of labor, is already much miti- gated and is going to be still further relieved by the freer use of machinery. The }mit “of dnventive ingenuity hasn't yet been reached. The time fsn't far away when one farmer, with adequate tools and machines, will be able to do as much as half-a-dozen hired hands were needed. for, a few years ago. The second circumstance, that of low freights from the west, can already be almost ignored. ' Present freight rates are so high as to make up much %f the difference between western and eastern costs of production. And when a strike shuts off western deliveries almost en- tirely, what will the robin do then, ‘poor thing? The third difficufty, that of restoring and maintaining fertility on worn-out farms, is taken care of by Prof. Esten's “New Agriculture.”” Let the bacteria do it, assisted by a Httle cheap lime and rock phosphate. All the signs are auspiclous for s re- viving of New England agriculture. When that time comes the local farmer will always have one tremendous ad- vantage. He is, almost invariably, right next door to a busy and hungry market. He can, almost always, deliver his goods by his own truck, and snap his fingers at railroad rates, The New England farmers who can read the signs of the times and are will- ing to follow them have a future. A future which may be' nearer to them than some of them apnreciate. THE FARMER.

Sunday afternoon. One 'of the stones hit Homer Fontaine who was driv- ing the car, striking him en the eye. The boys were put in charge of Duniel T. Williams who was appointed guardian by Judge Abell. The boys were found guilty and were fined five dollars and costs of $32.- The fine was suspended on good behavior, as they had made a séttlement with Mr. Fontathe for $75. The second case was that of the state vs Frank Gregin, who was found guilty of assawlt and battery, breach ‘of the peace and abusive language and was fined $10 and costs, amounting to $23.33. He appealed the case but later settled. Dr. .Henry West and family left on Thuyrsday for their home in Newark, N. J. after a few days’ visit A with Mr. West's parents of Norwich avenue. Mrs, Harry Wickwire and two daugh- ters returned to their home in New Ha- Yen Thursday after a week's visit with Mrs. Hattle Wickwire. JEWETT CITY Danfiel Morgan's home rwas Burned to the ground, during the early hours of Thursday morning. So rapidly did the flames and smoke spread through the great house, that not a thing ‘was saved, the family. barely escaping. Mr. Mor- gan's farm is situated less than a mile south of the borough. The house was large and square and framed in great hewn oak beams and rafters that defied decay, aithough built close to' two hum- dred years ago. As one passed along the road, from which the house sat somewhat back, he would have seen be- tween two great maples, the handsome ocountry residence of the older type, a model_and design seldom met with ex- cept, here and there about the country a residence of its once commanding ar- chitecture is to be seen. Somewhere about 3 o'clock Mr. Morgan's older son Daniel was awakened by what appeared to be the sound pf falling plaster, which seemed to come from the direction of the back kitchen. He noticed the strong odor of smoke and soon realized that the house was on fire. Quickly aroused, his father and other members of the family, first cushing outside were mnot able to again enter, becauses of ;the ‘suf- focating smoke and roaring flames that soon. swept through the lower floors. The family lost everything except 'Lhe seant clathing in which they had hast- sly dressed:’they d!d mot get so much ag their' shoes. Together with olothing and furniture, many priceless keep- rakes and family heirlooms furnished food for the flames. also several sums of money with which some special pur- chases were to be made, and a package of Liberty bonds. When seeing that his home was “to be destroyed. and think'mg of his nearby barns and out- buildings. Mr. Morgan sought to get help from the borough, almost a mile away. He smashed a window from the outside and partly climbins onto the sill, was able to lift his telephone out and give the alarm. Miss Bessie Me- Cluggage, night operalor at the cen- tral exchange, did everything. that any #irl could do to arouse the sleem’ng town.

Many were the expres- sions of sympathy heard on all sides from the willing but helpless company. As the great hewn oak timbers burned almost inch by inch, and the big stone- based chimneys, built by a cral’ of two centurles ago, were bared to visw. the onlookers realizel what the loss of a few short hours had been. Mr, Morgan believes that the fire was the work of some maficious invendiary. There had been no fires in the stoves. every lamp was carefully extinguished when the - family® retired. so the true origin of the fire remains a mystery. Mr. Morgan was partially insured. It is estlmated “that ten thousand dollars would not replace such thinzs as it is possible -to_replace. There were marny offers of homes for shelter, Mry, Wal- ter Richardson taking chargs of the younger members of the family for the | rest of ‘the night.
