Burglary in Southbury.

Dec. 19.-The grain, feed and grocery store of H. R. Stone was broken into Tuesday night. The safe was blown open, but no money was found, only the books, which were badly smoked. The store and post office of FIicock Brothers was entered the same night. No stamps of any amount were taken and no money had been left in the store. Letters were broken open, but several hundred dollars in checks mail- ed the evening previous by MT. Stone for the bank in Waterbury were not disturbed. From the letters opened it would seem they were not strangers to the people, as those selected were those which would be likely to. have had money in. The night before the Wood bury post office was entered.

Nashville, Tenn, July 5-(Special )-Depu-
ty United States Marshal John Smith was
shot and instantly killed by a desperate
named A. j. l.. Roddy at Tracy City to-
day.
Roddy was recently convicted Of sending
obscene matter through the mails, but APP
pealed to the supreme court and was re-
leased on a $1,000 bond. His misbehavior,
however, resulted in Judge Key issuing a
bench warrant for him, but ROddy lodged
the regular deputy marshals and John
Smith was deputized to arrest him. Smith
attempted to serve the warrant today and
a fight resulted, in which Roddy killed
Smith and was himself desperately
wounded.

An Agricultural College at Home.

A course of study primarily designed to
meet the needs of those farmers sons VINO
are unable to leave home to attend college,
but who feel the need of the fuller knowl-
edge of their work which the college offers,
is now offered by the New Hampshire COL
lege of Agriculture and the echanc Arts
During the last ten years a large amount
of information of the highest practical value
has been published, and in the years to come
more will appear. The college instructors
see nearly all of this literature, and from
it they intend select that which is best
suited to the needs of the student. Be
sides the standard books, they will use in
the course the best bulletins from the eXpe-
rment stations and the best pamphlets writ
ten by practical specialists. IN this way
they hope to make it a progressive course
along practical lines. 1t will be free to all,
with no entrance examination or fee. The

any time; and the privilege
eges of the course are not limited to res
dents of New Hampshire. Students are
offered the option of working for certif-
cate or not, as they see tit, but they are
strongly urged to do the former. Those 50
working will, studies are flnlshed, send
in answers to sets of examination queS-
tons; those not working will submit a
statement that the requisite readhS mas
been carefully done.
Each of the books and pamphlets VIII
have q certain number of exercises, an eA-
ercise probably averaging ten pages OF
reading matter The satisfactory compile
tion Of six hundred exercises will entitle the
student to q certificate. 1t is probable th"l
under ordinary conditions this Will require
about two years. Each student working
for a certificate will be required to take Ger
tain general studies, such as SOILS, image
n0xious insects, fungus diseases me-
teorology. laws of plant grow H.
farro and household chemistry, fertilizers
etc and to select at least three lines OF

working for a certificate, may select any
of the above subjects they desire, but ii Is
recommended that they pursue the pre-
scribed lines of general reading in connec-
ton with special subjects. The cost Oh

Hot water, 160 degrees fahrenheit, Persian

Late Crops in Irish Potatoes.

Nearly every farmer and gardener would
plant for Il fall crop of Irish potatoes, but
for the uncertainty of getting the seed to
terminate. We have often planted for a
q late crop, but we confess that results
have been by no means satisfactory. There
IS a reward of gratitude that will be due
to the man that Will discover a methotL1)y
the CT which the uncertainty may be
obviated. We can afford to take the FISK
or want of rain if we can only get the tub
ers TO come up promptly. We are obliged TO
take that risk with all crops. The best
results we have ever secured were from
bedding the seed Uubers) in about the same
way SWEET potatoes are bedded in the spring,
and then planting the whole potato, but US
ing only such have sprouted.
our practice is to lay aside the smaller po-
tatoes as the supply for the table is daily
dug. These small potatoes are placed III d
dry, shaded place, as under a shelter, or
an open clubhouse, until they begin to show
green from the effects of light. Then bed
them about as sweet potatoes are bedded,
covering about one and a half or two inches

1nence to come up, rake pillow in a little
more soil and repeat until the burrows are
full and level. Subsequent cultivation should
be confined To such stirring of the surface as
may be necessary to keep it mellow after
each rain. Ii will be found in adopting this
plan that it will require two or three plant
ingS to use ali the seed. as they will not all
surout at once. Plant only those that have
sprouted, and wait until more have sprout-
ed. In this way you will have good stand
and n sort OF succession in the growth of the
crop.
These second crop potatoes are now much
souzht after for planting the next year

northern grown seed, and possessing more
vitality. This year we have already plant

ped Nothing new, however, is presented,
and we have not space to give the letter

We wish to say simply that we have very
good reasons for the confident belief that

heretofore to publish a similar article from

that the object was to advertise the

J. w. L., Campbell N. CT have
COW that gives blood in her milk at last of
milking. Please give remedy if known.
There are several causes which may pro-
duce bloody milk. In the case of your COW
there is probably some congestion in the
teats, amounting under rough handling
in milking to a rupture of small blood
vessels. Give the cow a dose of one pound
of EPSON salts and daily thereafter half
ounce of saltpeter with one drachm of
chlorate of potash. Battle the bag with
hot or cold water and rub with camphorat-
ed iniment In milking handle the teats
carefully and tenderly and avoid stripping
pulling. Better not to milk too clean.
Sometimes acid plants in the pasture cause
the milk to be a little bloody. Sometimes
the same is accompanying symptom of
the period of heat.
