A DEVICE THAT pLEAsEs FARMERS

A DEVICE THAT PLEASES FARMERS.
 Farmers who use the Buckley watering device are enthusiastic over it. The agents for it are Cochrane Brothers, the hustling and successful merchants of West Cornwall. James Finch & Son of North Salem, N. r., have this to say of the device: Yours duly received, and in reply will say, that 1t gives us great pleasure to send you testimonial in re- gard to Buckley's Watering Device, which we had put in our stable early in December last. It is the finest device for watering stock that has yet been in- vented. Our stock is at present in fine condition, having that fine, sleek look which they never had before. The cows gained in 10 days 20 quarts of milk and are steadily increasing. We think that the device has already paid for itself would not think of naming price for it if we could not get another. In stormy weather our cows are never turned out and the water is constantly before them
 besides being of mildtemperature from the warmth in the stable. In conclusion will say that I can recommend it to al dairymen, and when they once try it the,
 would not have it removed for any price

WARREN.
WARREN MUD KNEE DEEP.

The travelling has been pronounced by experts as unprecedented in this section. We had a short experience of it in riding in the evening from New Preston station to the village and thence to Warren. With span of good horses we accom- plished the first stage to the village in one hour. In many places it was about the capacity of mortar ready for the hod, only good deal deeper than the mortar bed. A few such experiences suggest at least the contrast between mud knee deep and dry and dusty roads. But these things are among the human needless in this latitude; at least in some sections. Upon the whole March has been a very nice month up to the ides, when we were favored here with little snow which the almost equinox sun has already dispers- ed, changing it to vapor or allowing it to moisten the surface of the ground.
 We are glad to hear that Selectman Strong is better and furthermore that no new cases appear on the docket, requir- ing a physician or a nurse or both.
