WEsToN.-The hay crop will yield a fair average and the harvest ing has begun. Daisies are more plentiful than ever. Tobacco | is not as extensively raised as formerly, l the ground covered probably not being above 10 acres. The principal growers are Charles R. Warehouse, Joel Perry, Phillip Gerhart and Oliver Perry. Crops in general are looking good, recent rains being favorable to them.
 KENT. Tobacco is growing finely. About the same amount Is planted as last year. Farmers are beginning to cut hay and many will finish either this week or next if the weather holds good. Farm products generally are now doing well, notwithstanding the late spring.
 BROoKFIELD.-The rains of the past week have very materially improved the growth has been extended and a thicker bottom has been formed. Old meadows will not be heavy, but fair crop. New seeded pieces are heavy with clover as this is a clover year. With good weather the last of the week iC is safe to say the most of it will be secured. This crop has suffered some from lodging. the wet weather causing mildew and not where it has been down long. Farmers are very anxious for favorable weather. as pieces containing many dasies must be cut soon.
 MONROE. -The hay crop is the finest | here l have seen anywhere, except in Milford, and piece or two in Long Hill. Other crops are fair and doing well. No | tobacco is raised in this town. There l may be about 30 acres of strawberries scattered about, James Burr raising about l2 acres. Some of the farmers sell their milk, some their cream, and several make business of making butter for city customers.

Fifty acres is nearer tht fact, than 30 as given for the maximum | ROXBURY.-Then number of growers o1 tobacco in town is nearly 100 and the number of acres 175 to 200. The croI is looking fairly well, some later than common. We have had some trouble | with cut worms, potatoes an increase oi acreage of one third. Corn about the usual and all looking fair for the late season. Grass on old meadows is not quite up to the average, but crops have ma terially changed in the past few days with the nice showers we have had There will be an average crop for the past few years.
 SOUTHBURY.-Hayo on old meadows i. light; op newly seeded, rich pieces heavy. Tie acreage of potatoes is larg CT than last year. None have been dug a: yet, but several fields are in full bloom Corn looks we'll but is rather small. Rye is fair crop, especially where early sown. Some few pieces, of onions art raised. D. NJ. Mitchell has a small piece which looks finely. A. J. Lewis has qnite a field of straw berries for whicf he obtains good prices. A few piece: of tobacco are raised in this section ot the town, but none in the western part Several persons are raising seed swee corn for E. Clark of Milford. Apple: give promise of large crop, especially greeniugs, but there is some complaint of their falling. Potato bugs, rose bug: and cut worms are plenty.

IT IS AN OLD THEORY

That new wood is entitled to three coats of paint, but many houses have but two coats of Chiffon Paint, and are then allowed 10 stand two and three years before they are painted again, and then only one coat. Can you not profit by this suggestion? In painting your house this year get estimates on one, two and three coats. If the house is in fair condition and there is not too much difference between the shade you are to put on and the one on the house, probably one coat will suffice If not one, two coats will surely answer. What is the use, then, of putting on three? We have had painters tell us that they had paint ed houses with Chiffon paint where the house looked better after two coats than three-up- on being asked why then they put on three they replied that they were obliged to as the contract called for three- Word your con tracts so you can stop when you have gone far enough.

 A good many Southern armers are making money in truck farming Florida sends toma- toes, cabbages in early spring; Georgia and Alabama send wider variety, including all these and melons galore. A little later, and Virginia exceeds the output of any of her southern neighbors. One thousand Virginia farms within radius of20 miles of Norfolk are reported to have shipped $5,C00,o of early fruits and vegetables last spring to Northern cities. The annual return from this source to southern farmers generally must be several times that sum, and the loss on the cotton crop is thus at least partially offset. Big stories are told of fortunes made truck farming, one of them being of a German immigrant who is said to have made $500, 900 within I5 or 20 years | Good for Printers Ink.

 She Didn't Realize That He Had Grown
 So Much.
 T want to buy pair of pants for my little boy" said a country woman to the clerk as she entered an Adrian clothing store.
 This way, if yon please, madam; about what size?" inquired the amiable clerk.
 "Well, couldn't tell exactly without seeing lem. Just show me some boys pants
 "Of course, to be sure; how would these suit him?" and the clerk displayed very cute affair for Q boy of about five years.
 "Oh, sakes alivel he's bigger'n that; he ain't no baby. Johnnie ain't."
 "Would these be about the figure for himY" and the clerk presented another pair to view, very much larger.

 "Well, he's quite good sized boy" Here's another pair. assure you these would fit largo sized boy"
 "Shool them wouldn't reach to his ankles. He'd be worse off in them than the ones he wears now. Git somethin about foot longer"

 But we have nothing larger in boys' suits"

Surprised Him as Last.

In the Rocky mountains one day a friend and myself came upon little summer hotel near a crystal stream. There was an old man smoking pipe on 6 bench at the front door. As we ap- preached my friend said: Now there is one Colorado fisherman who will believe any fish story you've mind to tell him. Just try it." walked up to the old man and said:
 Splendid fishing over in that stream; eh, stranger?"
 "Yes. sir; splendid fishing
 "l know it. l was up here last sum mer and 1 got whopping trout on my line. He broke it snap in two"
 "Yes. the trout do that up here" the man answered with a peculiar drswl.
 "Then l got rope and fished with that, but the trout broke that too.'
 "Yes. the trouts often break ropes up here.'
 "Well, then" went on. ''l was de- cided to land him, and got him on log chain and pulled him out
 "Yes. log chains is the only thing what will pull the trouts out up here"
 "Well, you see, after got this big trout out we couldn't get him up to the house"
 "Yes, it's powerful hard to pull our trouts up here"
 ''So got yoke of oxen, put the trout on the sledge, and after a hard pull sue ceeded in E ting him up to the house"
 "Yes," @rid the old man without a smile. "a yoke of oxen with sledge is the only thing what can carry our trouts up here"
 l was getting desperate. The old codger shouldn't agree with me longer if could prevent him.
 "Well, sir" continued, "we took that trout and turned him out to pas ture with the cattle"
 "Yes," said the old rascal, that's what we allus do with our trout up here"
 "Yes, sir" urged, "and after he had been there among the cattle for about three months he grew horns"
 "Whatr' and the old man straight ened up: "a fish grow hornsY"
 "Yes. sir" continued.

Not many people when performing their
morning ablutions think of bathing intelli-
gently: yet there is such thing as washing
the face and never getting it thoroughly
cleansed-only removing the dirt from the
surface. Begin with tepid water and Cas-
tile soap, gradually increasing the tempera-
ture until il is hot as can be borne using
soap generously. After bathing the face
always rubbing up instead of down, to pre-
vent wrinkies-for some minutes, sit down
and rub well into the pores of the skin
almond or cold cream, any good prepara-
ton Of the kind; let this remain for FIVE or
ten minutes, thea wash 1t off thoroughly
with soap and hot water. after which rinse
off in cold water. The sudden change has
tonic effect, making the blood circulate
and opening the pores of the skin; the waste
matter is thrown Off thus making the COM
pleXion clean and rosy. This formula, even
modified SO The whole will not take twenty
minutes, carefully followed, will do wonders
toward clearing a muddy complexion, and
will keep a fine skin in good condition Last
of all, that most trying affiiction, red nose,
is permanently remedied, IL this be perse-
vered in.
OF course the morning plunge bath, in
tepid water in winter and cool water in
summer, must not be neglected, besides a
warm bath twice week, with soap and a
flesh brush. After the morning bath, which
should not last longer than three minutes
a brisk rub with Turkish towels will restore
the circulation and make one feel rejuven-
ated.
