A POINT AS TO CELERY.

Now is the time to look after your eel cry. Bank it up to the very tip of the leaves and so protect it from our severe frosts. Do not be in hurry about put ting it in the cellar. If properly banked it may remain out till the last of the month and you can dig it as you want it. This is the time when it is at it's best. When taken in it should be put in damp sand in a cool place and covered nearly to the top. It may be put in box or in a hole dug in the cellar floor if the cellar Is cool and damp. Give it as near as can be the same conditions it had in the gar den. If it continues to grow little af- ter being housed so much the better.

We often speak of old age as not desirable, but when one can grow old and keep the faculties as in the cases mentioned, it is not sad thought, that of old age.

GOOD FOR MIR EATON.

The contract for the sewer has been made. The village owes this improve ment to few of it's citizens. A liberal sum has been subscribed by a few of the people living on Main street. but the man behind the scheme is our former select man, Luther Eaton. Were it not for his encouragement, financial and otherwise, we should be about as far as ever from having one. When MT Eaton starts any thing he generally sees it through. We hope everybody interested will take hold and give him a generous lift.

A FINE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Among the fine and substantial home steads which give Watertown a front rank as one of the first farming towns of Litchfield county, is that of Alfred ii. Scovil, whose place is known as "Fair- view" It is located on hill, mile north of Watertown village, and accord ing to the mind of your scribe is one Of the most charming place in town. The Scovil place, by the way, has been ID this family for five generations. MT Scovil's great-grandfather John Foote, was the first to live on this farm, who lived in an old red house, now torn down. The present dwelling in which Mir Scovil resides, was built about 65 years ago by his father, Hubert Scovil. The view from this hill top is extensive and beautiful. Either by daylight on darknes S, fine views are obtainable. At night time the lights of the village be- low and of Waterbury in the distance, stand out prettily, while on the hill tops around single lights stand out as so many beacons. Mir Scovil is a milk farmer, his dairy comprising nine COWS. | The milk is W vholesaled at his door, to d party who sells it to a Waterbury retail dealer. This farm comprises ll9 acres, and this year Mir Scovil reports fine crops. On three acres of land he raised 350 bushels of corn, and from one acre, 2l0 bushels of potatoes. He also raised 200 bushels of turnips on an eighth of ar acre. His hay crop from 40 acres, he estimates at 60 tons. He raises about everything required on the farm, smal items being 100 bushels of oats, 50 bush els of rye, etc. Mir Scovil is prominent
 in town affairs, being one of the towr auditors. He is secretary of the Water
 town agricultural and horse association and is interested in all affairs pertaining to agriculture. MT ScOvils house i
 frightened by his charming wife ant children, boy and four girls. M
 Scovil's mother, SS years old last June

AN EXTENSIVE MILK FARM

Perhaps the largest dairy farmer in WatertoWn is C. E Mattoon, whose farm is located in the southwest part of the town, near Lake Winamaug. His land- ed estate comprises 2l5 acres. His dairy comprises GO cows and his output of milk is from 800 to GOO quarts daily. He has two milk routes in Waterbury, re- tailing about 800 quarts daily. Mir Mat tOOn buys all of his feed, meal, etc, for his cattle, but this year he put into his barns 1000 bushels of marketable pota- toes, 800 bushels of turnips. He cut about l25 tons of hay. To keep abreast with his extensive farm operations. MT Mattoon employs seven men the year round. Everything about his place wears an air of thrift. He has just had his buildings all dressed in d fresh coat of paint. Mir Mattoon is thorough far mer, and successful one, too.

 ing on her back in the road. Both ladies
 were kindly helped by Mir Whitcome
 into his house and cared for by the fam
 fly. Mrs w. B. Hamlin immediately be-
 came unconscious and remained in that
 condition till Sunday morning. As soon

 he took his horse and carriage and car
 ried the ladies to their home on Pump
 kin Hill, where Dr Barker of New Mill
 ford was called as soon as possible. No
 bones were found broken, but both were
 badly bruised. Their horse ran about
 three quarters of mile when the rein s
 caught in the forward wheel, and wound them up so short the horse was thrown in the ditch. His head was drawn back to the saddle of harness where the ring of the bits was caught in the check hook.
