How to Grow Forty Bushels OF Wheat
to the Acre.

Turn the land as deep as possible
with No. 40 plow If you can get It,
III not convenient to use the No. 40 use
a No. 20. Soon after turning harrow
the surface lightly, and let it alone till
the middle of October, then either SOW
or drill a bushel and half to the acre
and harrow lightly again and roll the
land. When you SOW the wheat SOW a
peck of clover seed to the acre. Or if
YOU prefer, SOW this amount to the
acre on the wheat This will probably
give you a good stand of clover, which
will start well after the wheat is cut.
Sow ten pounds of land plaster on
each acre after the first rain after the
wheat is cut, and while the young
clover is wet The plaster does no
good If sown when the clover is dry.
The clover will grow fast and by the
10th of August will be knee high or
higher. Turn this heavy growth OF
clover under with No. 40 or 20 plow
as before and harrow lightly so as not
to disturb the clover turned under, and
do no more until the 18th of October.
Now, SOW wheat and clover seed as be-
fore except that you must always SOW
only half peck of clover
seed to the acre after the first
sowing. Sow on the same land for
five years and our word for it, the
fifth year you will reap forty bushels Of
good wheat to the acre. Land must be
moderately good. Tolerably poor land
will yield as above indicated If treated
as directed. The result will be: Seven
bushels for the first year, twelve bush
els for the second year, twenty bushels
for the third year, thirty bushels for
the fifth year. Try it. and our word
for it, this will be the result Then, il
you want a crop of corn, ten or fifteer
barrels per acre can be produced. The
plan can't be a complete failure, but
viii surely improve the land and in
crease the crop.-Cor. Hartsviitt

This disaster occurs when digestion is in

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DIR. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITrERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,

almost anything but Bitters, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other preparar
tons of similar character. The name Bit

March Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. HYDE cele-
brated their 6ftieth wedding anniversary on
Monday evening. Mrs. Hyde arranged a large
party as a surprise to Mr.. Hyde and invited
the members of Mineral Spring division, S.
of T., the Veteran Soldiers association, the
Congregational church choir and the mem
bers of two classes in the Sunday school be-
sides other friends to meet in the court room
in Memorial Hall where they passed an ex-
ceedipgly pleasant evening. Mrs. Hyde re-
ceived several pretty and useful presents,
among them a handsome wicker rocker. Re
freshments were served abundantly and the
company separated wishing Mr. and Mrs
Hyde "many happy returns of the day.
Your correspondent, although not among the
guests, was remembered with u bountiful
supply of the good things.
Mr.. Benjamin Roberts, who suffered SO
long from the effects of lockjaw last fall, has
fully recovered his health and has now gone
for visit of some length with his son in
Meriden and his sister in Springfield.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Mix, of Waterbury are
spending few days with friends in town.
Benjamin Van Doren, Mrs. Sanford Smith
and two of her children are quite sick with
measles, disease which is quite prevalent
throughout the town.
Charles Marihugh, who has been sick with
measles about a week, died yesterday morn
ing. DR.. R. B. Goodyear thinks that diph-
liberia was the immediate cause of his death.
Captain Marihugh arrived home few hours
before his sons death. This is the second
time that the dread messenger has entered
that family within few months, first taking
the wife and mother, now the only son and
brother. Mr.. Msrihugh and his daughters
have the sympathy of many friends through
out the town.
Mrs. ]. a. Divine has gone to Waterbury
for weeks visit to her daughter and on her
return will visit friends in Seymour.
Lat evening was ladies' night in North

The Funeral Month of March.


An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition by
the state of the hair.
The Bible tells us that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans con-
sidered badness serious affection, and Ju-
Illus Cesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in it's various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has pallid brightness, the face upon whose
cheeks nature paints ross of singular beau
ty and flush, more marked in contrast with
the alabaster appearance of The forehead and
nose and lower part of his face, is one of
those whom the skilled physician will tell
you will some day dread the funeral month
of March, because it is then that consump-
ton reaps its richest harvest. Consum ption
they tell us is caused by this, that and the
other thing, by microbes in the air, by mi
cro-organisms in the blood, by deficient nu-
triton, by thousand and one things, but
whatever the cause decay begins with a
cough, and the remedy that will effectually
stop the cause of that cough cures the dis
ease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it,
The cough is an evidence of a wasting.
To stop it effectually remedy must be used
that will search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and do away with the
cough. This is the power, special to itself,
possessed alone by Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption remedy. This is no
new-fangled notion of narcotics and poisons,
but an old-fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by our an
cestors many years ago, the formula of
which has been secured exclusively by the
expense. It is not mere cold dryer. 1t is
a system searcher and upbuilder and a
sumption expellant. Where others fail it
wins, because it gets at the constitutional
cause and removes it from the system.
J. w. Hensaw, of Greensboro, Pa, on
January 10Th, 1888, reported that che had
derived more real benefit, for the length of
time, from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
If you have cough, night sweats, ''posl-
tive assurance in your own mind that you,
oh-you have no consumption" and yet lose
flesh appetite, courage, as your lungs waste
away, you may know that soon the funeral
month of March will claim you, unless
promptly and faithfully you use the article
named If other remedies have failed try
this one thoroughly. If others are offered
insist the more trying this unequalled
preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.

COLLISION AT SEA.

Run IAto by a New York Schooner.
The schooner Harold G. Beecher, which
arrived at this port yesterday morning from
Brunswick, Ca, was run into by the schooner
Erastus Wirnan of New York off Fenwick
Island. This was on February 81. The
Beecher's cabin was smashed and she was
otherwise badly damaged. For a time the
crew were in great danger of losing their
lives, but the mast was finally made secure
and all escaped injury. G. II. Bond of st.
George, Me-, was the captain of the Beecher,
and it was much through his efforts that the
schooner did not sink. He says that a little
harder blow would have sent her to the bot
TOM The break in the vessels side was
stopped up with blankets and quilts. 1t was
two days after the collision that the Beechsr
reached NOrwalk and the steamer Ocean King
was paid to tow her into this port, as she
contained 800, 900 feet of lumber for the New
Haven Sawnill company. It will take about
81, 900 to repair the Beecher.,

Probably no society in the country aver
ages so large an attendance at their weekly
meetings as Old Hiram lodge of Free Masons.
Their membership reaches some nine hundred
and is quite rapidly increasing. Their work
and general style is in the real old ancient
form, and SO long has this lodge been accus-
toned to the style of their forefathers that
even slight deviation thereof would be
looked upon by many of their aged members
almost as an objectionable sin and probably
on account of their venerable nature and
many peculiaritIes has there been go much
interest taken in ''Old Hiram" for the past
one hundred and thirty-eight years, not only
by its own members but by the large number
of members of the order from all parts of the
country. Most of them when visiting this
city rarely depart without at least having
spent one evening with this lodge This
evening the meeting will be one of more than
ordinary interest to those who attend, as the
retiring master, F. M. Wiser, will be the re-
cipient of an elegant silver tea set and set
of deliberately framed resolutions from the
members of the lodge. Speeches will be
made by prominent gentlemen and the third
degree will be exemplifed on we'll known
merchant of this city. l. would not be sur
