What n New Haven News Reporter
Learned in Waterbury,
A staff correspondent of the New Ha-
ven News visited Waterbury yesterday
and interviewed a number of citizens in
regard to the circular of G. c. CONNER
ford.
F. J. Brown said: 'sThe town did
give majority for Cleveland, but the
work here was taken out of the hands of
Wheeler and Connolly and placed in
mine, and l engineered the work and
received the thanks of Barnum and the
heads of the party for the victory.
True, l did run for first selectman and
came within fifty votes of getting
elected, and this was the closest to it
that any democrat has yet come. The
board was made up of a republican for
first selectman, and two democrats COM
prised the rest of the board. OF course,
We democrats did the best we could to
run the board, but it didn't suit Com
merford & Co. His circular says it
needs a democrat of larger experience
and one better acquainted with the re-
quirements of the senatorial district,
etc, Well, if they can get anyone more
largely acquainted all right. The truth
of the matter is those fellows are
'buckers Sind 'jObbers' and we've
bought that crowd SO many times in
pOlltlcS IlaJ we are SICK OF IL.
The corr pendent goes on to say : ]
called at Mir Commercials house to get
his further views of the case. but he was
away, and ] did not see him. But
found his right hand man and political
colleague, Miles f. Connolly, laid up at
his house, "A sufferer with gastric fever,
but able to sit up. In speaking of the
Commerforl circular he said Every.
thing Mr. CommerfUrd charges in that
circular is true. Brown has been run
ming things his own way for a long
time, and the better class of democrats
here are tired of him and want a change
The best interests of the party demand
it,"
Said prominent republican, speaking
as disinterested party "CommerforC

here under democratic rule, and though
he made good postmaster, las leader Of
politics he is failure. He is allied with

Haven and those men have tried through
him to work political wires il

Brown, on the other hand, ha'
done some good work for hi

sore heads like Commerford and Con

whole inwardness of this row."

MURDERED BY HIS BROTHER.
A Thomaston Boy Slashed and Stabbed
to Death.

A Thomaston Boy Slashed and Stabbed
to Death.
Patrick Hanley of Thottiaston, aged
16, was murdered by his brother James,
aged 90, Wednesday evening at their
home. Shortly after 6 o'clock Wednes-
day evening the boy prepared tol attend
the wedding of a friend. His sister
Bridget went across the street to iron a
shirt for him, and while there she heard
the brothers disputing and then a heavy
fall. She did not attach much impor-
lance to the quarrel, thinking 1t to be of
the same kind as many previous ones
and not of a serious nature. When her
work was done she returned to- the
house, and then for the first time be-
came aware that, a tragedy had &C.
CURED. Patrick !, was dying on the floor
and presented terrible appearance, so
shocking that she tainted.
Her outcry as she swoohed alarmed
the neighbors who rushed in. DR.
Smith was hastily summoned and he
did all that was possible for the
wounded boy, but it was of no avail.
James, who did the stabbing, fled before
his sister arrived.
The unfortunate boy was stabbed
twice in the neck, twice in the right
lung, twice again under the left
shoulder blade and once at the base of
the skull. The murderer's blows had
been given thick and fast. The boy
fingered until 1880 yesterday morning,
when he died.
Constable Stannard and Fitzgerald
MAIDS search for the murderer, but
failed to find him. Suspecting that lie
would return to the house they waited
and at an early hour yesterday morning
he came back as expected and was i'm.
mediately arrested. He confessed that
he committed the deed, but said that il
was not premeditated; that it was on
the impulse of the moment and while
he was in the heat of passion. Coroner
Hardenburgh held an inquest and

Now that hunting seems TO be part OF the

in riding otherwise 1t would be worse than folly to
try country riding; for although considerable

four walls of good riding school, nothing but actual

upon butter the following indications
are seen: Hardness of butter de-
ponds much more upon character of
food than nutritive ratio. Ensilage
produces softer butter than hay,
while cottonseed meal gives a hard
butter. The melting point of butter
fat is not a good index of the COM
mercial hardness of butter, for there
is no definite relation between melt
ing point and hardness. Volatile
acids decrease and hardness increases
as the period Of lactation advances.

The following piece of solid sense,
by Prof. Roberts in Hoard's Dairy
man, is well worthy of being put into
actual practice, where circumstances
demand it.
O.-What shall be the first step
toward enriching a well worn field
on a farm where but little stock is
kept.
Ans.-Better culture is the first
step When the chemist tells me
there are 5000 pounds of nitrogen
in an acre of ground, and / have not
brains enough to set some of 1t free,
| think do not know much about
agriculture have now the fourth
crop of wheat growing on the same
piece of land, that is. wheat every
other year, and it will be the best
of the four, and all without one
cents worth of manure being put on
it. How did do it? Summer fol-
lowed it. So then, good culture is
the first essential, supplement that
with plant; provide an animal to
eat it, which will make more fertil
ity, with which to grow another
plant to feed another animal. Rota-
ton, plants, animals, good ones;
cultivation, more plants, more ami
mails, richer soil, better crops. First
cultivation; I'd cultivation; Sd Gull
tivation. Do not pillow under plants.
Feed them to an animal, then save
that's the word-save the manure
and put it right back on to the land
for food for another plant. Do not
throw it out of the stable window
and allow it to waste. PlOw, Gull
tivate and roll, then plow and Gull
tivate again. That is the way the
Lord made the soil and he was
million of years doing it. Pulverize.
Whenever He ground the soil finely
enough it is good; where He did not
it is poor. Sow more clover. twill
reach its roots down deeply and
pump up the nitrogen from below
and throw out it's green arms and
drink it in from the atmosphere, thus
leaving the soil richer than when the
seed was scattered. You try it; but
be sure to kill off the thistles. Such
a system sets free the two mineral
elements Of plant food, phosphoric
acid and potash, and allows the
plant to feed on them. 1t is what we
may call capillary culture, making it
rain from below, lifting up moisture.
Plow more and plant more, especial
ly of corn, make the rows straight,
and cultivate close up to them. A
good man with a good horse and
spring tooth cultivator, can beat
any drouth in hoed crops. We do it,
and so can YOU.

TAKE CARE OF THE MILK.

The utmost precaution should be
used to take good care of the milk.
The surroundings have a great deal
to do with the quality of milk to
make number one butter. The feed,
the care and the way that COWS are
handled is of the greatest import
ance to produce milk that will make
the best grades of butter. Especially
the Jersey COW, with such nature
as to be excited so easily, should be
very carefully handled. The stable
should be kept clean and at the time
of milking everything should be
quiet, and treat the COWS as you
would human being. Do not excite
or make a loud noise. Under any
circumstances, do not whip or drag
the COWS. Keep liberal supply Of
pure water at all times; do not COM
pei the COWS to drink out Of dirty
pail or trough any more than a
man. Cows that are compelled to
drink from stagnant pools Of water,
their milk causes vast amount Of
trouble for the cheese maker. 1t
causes a floating curd and the result
is a cheese that is not number one,
and those that eat the cheese curse
the maker From The Jersey Bulle-
tin.
