The department of agriculture, in a communication to congress-, has the fol- lowing to say about 8 subject which has been of much importanoe to the farmers of Connecticut, and also showing the re- suits of it's work in the slate: '.In Con- necticut the farmers are especially interest ed in manures and fertilizers. The Con- necticut experimental stNtion has, ,s.there- fore, naturally devoted ' lhrge share of it's attention to commercial Fertilizers. The result has been that infcrior materials have been driven from the markets of the state, and not only that, but the farmers have been tanght much concerning the relative values of the materials they buy or produce for feeding their crops, and how to utilize them most advanfageously.
 "When the station began it's work in 1875, number of brands of fertilizers then being sold in the state were analyz d, and their composition compared with the selling price. It appeared that at the rate farmers were paying, tka nitrogen cost from 1Oa cents to $la67, and the soluble phosphoric acid from 10s to 253 cents per pound. The report of theIstation for 1888 shows that the nitrogen in the fertilizers sold in the state in that yEar cost from 12 to IS cents, and the soluble phosphoric acid from cents to 8s cents. There were no fraudulent articles in the market. Con- necticlt farmers pay over $2OO, 900 yearly for the phosphoric acid of commercial fer tilizers. In this item alone the station saves more than it cost.

HISTORY OF A TOOTH.

It was very troublesome tooth. Not a bit of anything sweet could Christie eat without making it ache. cannot tell how many hours and hours in the night it had kept every one awake.
 "That child must go to the dentist to- morrow" said papa, one night.
 Christie was little girl, not quite five years old, but she was tired of being a ba- by. It seemed to her that since all big girls have had teeth pulled, having tooth ont would make her big girl. So she went down street beside mamma next morning feeling very happy.
 'sHello !" called out cousin Tom, whom they met. 'sWhere are you going P
 ''I'm going to the dentists to have a tooth pulled, replied Christie, proudly.
 'I wouldn't be i'll your shoes for any thing P added Tom. els it very bad, mamma ?" asked Chris tie
 But Mrs. Spencer told her not 10 be frightened, for Tom was only trying to tease think the little glrfs mother ought to have told her the whole truth. Don't you?
 What nice place that dentists office was There was n splendid great chair with head-rest, and pretty bowl beside it. There was stand all full of funny little tools that Christie thought would be grand to play with.
 What a pleasant man Dr. Snow was He lifted her into the great chair and ask ed so kindly what tooth had ached Then he took one of his little tools in his hand And then such straining, and tngging, and wrenching and breaking.
 Christie didn't know that she screamed, but mamma told her afterward that her cries were frightful to hear She only knew that she put both hands mp to see if her head was still in place, before she bounded out of the chair. "You are inst as mean as you can be, and I'll never come here again as long as live So there l" she crit d. In an instant she was in mammals arms She was told, between tears and kisses, that it was all over. Then Mrs. Spencer took from a paper lovely new wax doll In a little while Christie was as smiling and happy as ever.
 "Now, dear," said mamma, as they started for home, "you can run back and tell Dr. Snow you are sorry for being so naughty, and ask him to forgive you" Back into the off @ went Christie.
 "Please, MT. Dentist, if you're sorry for being so naughty I'll forgive you" The doctor smiled and patted her head. Christie never knew that she hadn't said it right.
 After all, she wasn't big girl. That very night she was rocked to sleep in mammals arms

How repulsive is bad breath, and yet how many otherwise, attractive, polite and partic- lar people aff1ict their friends with the foul odor of their breath. If there was no remedy for this, it might excite our sympathy, but as there is no need of having foul breath, it is an unpardonable breach of good manners to obtrude such an offence on good society.
 Foul breath arises from disordered digestion which can be corrected by using Sulphur Bit ters, and the result will be a pure, sweet breath

LOCAL ToPICs-PENN'D AND sClssoRED.

-Thompsonville Press At the meet. ting of the Union Agricultural Society last Saturday (16th), it was voted to hold the fair here Wednesday, Oct. 1st. There was strong element in favor of holding it at White Oak Park, in the eastern part of the town, and the time is not far distant when the society will have permanent To- cation. The town hall was severely criti- cised by those present, and is certainly not 8 safe place for any large gathering. It is hoped that it will be repaired before the fair, so as to be safe at least. A com. mittee of twelve was appointed to make arrangements for the fair, with Henry Alb. be as chairman. H. s. Woodward was ap, pointed superintendent of grounds and collector of fees. An effort should be made by all to make this fair one of the best the society ever held.

He was a very successful farmer, cultivat ing one of the largest farms in the county, and also dealt very largely in stock. He was always a hard-working, industrious man, and during the past few months when he had been in poor health, it had been nearly impossible to keep him out o1 the fields. He was nearly lifelong resi- dent of To.!and, and had held some towr office ever since he was 21 years old.
