l,e firmly packed and kept in the best
sf condition. If such a barn could be
built where it could have q dry cellar,
the manure could be dropped into the
cellar, where also could be stored roots,
while the silo could extend down
through the cellar, the root room being,
of course, partitioned off from the

Improving Meadows and Pastures.
In most meadows and pasture fields
are patches of greater or less extent
that are not nearly as productive as the
remainder of the field, though the en-
tire surface is uniformly seeded. These
unproductive places are usually knobs
or hillsides, from which the fertility OF
the soil has been exhausted by washing
OF cropping. During autumn they can
easily be located and brought back to
a state of fertility. First apply q good
seeding of timothy, or other grass seed,
and then cover the entire surface half
IN inch or more deep with Well-rotted
barn yard manure, or heavy sowing
of commercial fertilizer, passing over
the spots several times with spring
tooth or other harrow. The early 1asl
rains will cause the seed to germinaBe,
and the whole surface should present a
healthy, green appearance before Win
ter sets in. Frequently field that has
been into grass for many years is we'll
set with moss, in which case scatter
seed over the surface. apply some rich
manure, and harrow until the surface
looks ragged, thus laying the founda-
ton for an increased growth Of herb
age, and all at small expense, without
replowfag the field. These bare spots
are not at all pleasant to look at, and
do not speak we'll for THE farmer.-Or.

GEORGE H. ToMLINsON MEETS WITH A
 SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
 As George H. Tomlinson was crossing the bridge over Farmill river, near H. J. Roberts paper mill, the structure col lapsed, throwing MT Tomliuson, two pairs of oxen and a portable boiler and engine into the river below. Fortunately Mir Tomlinson was not seriously hurt, and, after securing help, rescued the team alive, though much bruised and chilled from being so long in the ice cold water. The bridge is about 40 feet long and 12 feet from the water, which is now three or four feet deep and how driver or any of the team escaped alive is mys- tery. A temporary bridge will be erect. ed to accommodate travel till new one can be built which will be of iron and several feet wider than the old one. MT Tomlinson has had several narrow es- capes. A suspicious character he was attempting to arrest shot at him at short range, the bullet striking button on his overcoat, thereby changing it's course. Once he was shut between the gates at a railroad crossing in Bridgeport and only by presence of mind and prompt action escaped the coming train. About year ago he was thrown from wagon and drawn considerable distance by an un- ruly horse, his jaw broken and otherwise injured These, with this last incident, lead to the conclusion that he is not to be killed by any method that usually result in that way with ordinary mortals.

Talk of tbe Town.
EEwTowN BOYS IN BUSINESS.

Newtown is always interested in the success of it's sons, who are scattered from the Atlantic tn the Pacific slope. The career of r. J. Bolan, the hardware merchant of Waterbury, has been one of success from the result of hard work and close application to business. Mir Bolan was the son of MT and Mrs Lawrence BOlan, both of whom are now buried at Sandy Hook. The subject of this sketch was born at Sandy Hook, and the first l2 years of his life were passed at the Hook and in Zoar. Among his school mates were Principal Griffin aud Freder- ick Chambers. His father, Lawrence Bolap, was silk dyer, employed i'll the Mantle mills. Mir Bolan began his mercantile career as a clerk about 1889. He entered the employ of D. B. Wilson, and in 1885 formed partner ship with this gentleman for four years. At the expiration of this period he sold out to MT Wilson, and bought out the old and famous hardware stand of c. W. Nuttipg, who was the successor of Walker & Nutting, and they followed Charles M- Allen. This has been a hardware stand longer than any other store in the Nau- gatuck valley. It is right on Bank street, directly opposite the postoffice. To gain an idea of the business he carries on it may be stated that his store occu- pies five floors, with an outside store house, and his force comprises seven men beside himself. He also keeps four horses busy. A brother, J. D. Bolan, is in his employ. MT Bolan has an im- mense trade extending over Western Connecticut. His stock comprises build- ers' hardware, able and pocket cutlery, bicycies of the Victor, Union and Craw- ford makes, manufacturers supplies, garden and grass seeds, wire fencing, fertilizers, carriage makers aud black smiths, supplies. MT Bolan says he will
 be pleased to deliver any sizeable order to Newtown or Southbury customers, carriage paid, and will cheerfully attend to any mail orders. MT Bolan says his
 trade extends far and near. He even
 ships goods to Ronoake, Va, and to the
 Argentine Republic. It is surpris- ing sometimes to Mir BolaD at the
 distance orders pour in. Mr Bclan is
 happily married, his home being at the
 corner of North William and Mitchell | avenue.

A Description of the Hills.

The Freedoms Banner, Of Louisville,
Kentucky, in its issue of December llth,
contains an elaborate article descriptive
Of the Black Hills from the able pen Of
Rev. james w. Given, who will be re-
membered as the late pastor OF the
Baptist church Of this city. The article
is replete with interest, is copiously
illustrated, and We regret that our INIT
ed space precludes the publication Of
the same in its entirety. A consider
able portion Of the article is devoted to
Custer and its delightful Genie sur
roundings, from which We extract the
following:
Custer City is picturesquely situated
in the valley and derives lis name from
General Custer who, with his entire
command, was killed in battle at the
foot of the Little Big Horn. He passed
tbroug the site, now occupied by the
city, on his way TO battle. II is the
highest city in the Hills, and we'll merits
III title, the scenic city Of the west"
1t is great summer resort. Hot Springs
has many attractions but Custer excels
the latler in scenery, delightful climate,
and scenic positions. For scenic effects,
all rivals yield the palm to Custer
/ Situated in the heart of the great min
eral belt. abounding in nearly every
mineral known to science. with a climate
of the most exhila.ating character sur
passingly beautiful and grand, surround
ed By native scenery, il is at once the
elysium Of the Northwest. The scenery
is certainly magnificent and rugged. A
short distance from towa, there is a
beautiful sheet. Sylvan Lake. of pure
crystal water On the shore there is q
mammoth sized hotel for the accommo-
dation of guests who come hither from
all parts Of the United States :or health,
