 WHAT THRIFT WILL DO.
 Two years ago Walter Mather bought an
 out-o -the-way and much neglected piece
 of land just out of Hartford near Wilson s
 station. Now by his enterprise things
 have changed. Aside from the early gar
 den product, which has been marketed,
 there remains wonderfully fine lot of truck, all cultivated systematically and in rows, which save the continual turning
 about of the teams in cultivating, and SC I on-a big saving, too. Indeed, couple of these long rows are about half days ! care for 8 lively assistant, and they are kept in A order. Within reach of the eye
 there must be thrifty growth of at 1east 1000 bushels of Mangel Wurzels, 1,00( bushels of carrots, certainly 1000 bushels of potatoes, besides other products. But
 the most wonderful of all is the fve-acrt
 piece of tobacco, planted on the same general plan, with the fertilizer 80 evenly l distributed that each plant has kept apac, , with the other, the tops across the entir' l field being as even and level as barr floor. A fairly tall man passing througl
 this field shows only his head and neck | and the plants are so stout and rank tha ] work among them is getting to be quit difficult. Standing a short distanc 3 sees nothing but solid mass of darl green leaves, and is quite unable to tel ? l where the rows are divided. It is 3 great piece of tobacco, probably not equale'
 in Hartford county, if in the state. A
 he looks upon ithese great masses o
 growing things the visitor cannot hell 8 thinking that Alderman Walter Mather ! pretty handy farmer politician. It wa . to help raise shed to hold the immens tobacco crop that MT. Mather's neighbor
 turned out Saturday afternoon and it wa s successful "barn-raising" in every sense s The building is substantial one, seventy : five feet long, and is intended to hold par '; of the crop. A neat lunch was sprea ,. after the last pin had been driven and th helpers must have departed with notio :, that where there's will there's way. i; HORSE THIEVES.
 Evidently gang of horse thieves a, ,. | operating in the vicinity of Windse !, Locks. Early yesterday morning a fir horse was stolen from John Ahern, t,
 gether with good harness. The thieve
 after the horse was stolen, went throug [. to some lots west of Ahern's residenc g and to the summer home of Ed D. Coogal l, where they took brand new two-seate l. carriage that had never been used M !. Coogan did not miss the carriage Ii is afternoon, when he went to the carriat W house to hitch up for funeral. Office
 McCarty and Kinney were notified, ar
 they went to different towns, but up to
 late hour had found no trace of the mis ! le ing property. Thursday night team w ,. stolen from Will Pomeroy in the low T, part of Sufield that has not been foun B. and the same night a horse was talk from farmer named Corey, but the hor 8, was found early the next morning. IT KS thefts were made doubtless by the san D. gang.
