STATE
Lyme, Feb. 2.-The Hon. James A.
Bill, who died suddenly on Thursday of
heart disease at his home on Bill Hill.
had been rather feeble this Winter, not
having been out since December, but
was able to attend to his office work as
fish commissioner and was reading at
his desk when he was stricken. His
son, James A. Bill, jr, of Springfield,
who had been here for a day or two,
was just about to start for home after
consulting with the doctor. He and
his brother, X. n Bill assisted their
father to his bed, but he was beyond
aid.
The news of his death will cause sor-
row all over the state, particularly
among the farmers. Mr.. Bill was born
in Lyme March 20, 1917. He attended
the district schools here and at the
age of twenty began business as book
agent. Being quite successful, he soon
established himself in Philadelphia as
a publisher. He gave this up at the
outbreak of the civil war and since
then had devoted much of his time to
the raising of fancy cattle and sheep.
His herds and f1ocks have been repre-
sented at many fairs throughout New
England and have won many prizes
For sixteen years he was president of
the State Agricultural society. At the
time of his death he was president of
the New London County Agricultural
society, and he had held that office or
that of vice president since the society
was formed forty-five years ago..
He always was democrat in poll
tics, but had many friends in the re-
publican party. He represented his
town two years in the house Tin 1S49
and 1860 and two years in the senate
Gin 1852 and 1859 and though the dis
trict is largely republican he received
good majorities each time. He was cap
tain of a militia company in the ante
bellum days and an Odd Fellow.
The state fish commission was form
ed in 1866 and he was appointed men,
Der in 1857 He had been a member ever
since with the exception Of one year
Governor Lounsbury reappointed him.
He was one of the best known men in
the state
He leaves a wife and three sons, Luz

daughters, Mrs. John L. Martin of
Springfield, and Mrs. Lyman Chapman

A LesIess wheelharrow.

Metal barrows are coming in slowly,
but none the less surely. this being an
other of the many instances in which
steel and structural iron are supplant-
ing the time-honored wood. They are
deslgr-d for work in mines, and being
ndestructible and cheap they are es-
pecially adapted for the use of contrac-
tors.
The body is hung very low, and is of
such a shape and strength that little
damage can be done to it. even though

bars and handles are formed of one
continuous piece Of pipe. The wheel is
also especially designed, the hub CON
ssting of two interviewing clutches,
between which the spokes. consisting
of pieces OF bar iron bent SO as to
form two spokcs, are held. Not the
least valuable feature Of this barrow,
the invention of William James Freed
of Eureka. Utah, is the fact that il
damaged it can he repaired by ordinary
mechanics, all the parts being simply
put together and designed with that
end in view.
The absence of legs, it viii be noticed,
is interE ting, and allows the barrow to
rest fiat on the ground, so that it may
be quickly and easily filled and

Not only is this extra labor required,
but the soil at blowing is so soft that
the horses at each step sink almost to
the bottom of the furrow. This is very
injurious, and most of these early
plowers would not think of allowing
other stool upon the fields when in this
condition Tae act of blowing obliter-
ates the foot-narks. and they imagine
no harm is done, but they are greatly
mistaken. No farmer ever gained any
thing in the end by blowing his soil
when not in a proper condition. Per

Crops Of corn have been reported ex-
eeeding 100 bushels of shelled corn per
acre, if we remember correctly, but we
90 not believe that any man can grow
corn profitably if he tries to grow one
hundred bushels of ears to the acre
unless he is unusually favored by the
season, and we doubt if he would sue
coed one year in ten. The strongest
and richest land on the farm is not
good corn land. Corn needs warm
soil and warm season, and while a
dry season lessons production because
there is not moisture enough TO perfect
the crop. a wet season oes the same
thing because there Is not enough heat
to make rapid growth. Heavy manur-
ing makes a rank growth of leaf aud
stalk, and that Keeps the ground SO
cool by shading it that ears do not de
veiop, and possibly the dense foliage
also prevents pollen from the tassel
from reaching the silk as 1t falls We
think the man who wants 100 bushels
acres with less labor and fertilizer
than he can ON one, and be more
sure of 1t in an ordinary season, while
possibly favorable season may in
crease his crop to $50 bushels on the
