James Foley. hGeman in the employ of the Southern New England Telephone Company, had very narrow escape from instant death by electricity at Iitohfield. He was on the top of pole connecting line with the main line. He received heavy shock from the wires and fell to the ground unconsclous. At first it was he would not live, but after several hours he regained consciousness and 1t Is now thought he will recover.
 The directors of the Carter 6 flakes Machine Company, Winsted. have voted to purchase a stripof land l 400 feet long on the southe-ly side of Main street, in- cluding the buildings occupied by the Winsted Steam Laundry, Wfnsted Yarn Mill and the feed mills of J. A. Smith. Plans have already been drawn for a three-story brick factory building to be erected on the property.
 Tent worms are destroying New Hart ford fruit and shade trees. The best method of getting rid of these pests is to make sop of old rags on the end of a long pole, saturate with kerosene oil and then, just at dusk, when the worms are all in the nests. light the torch and burn them out.

Rugs and Canning

Perhaps some of the farmers wives would like to know how to transform the old bran sacks that accumulate in nearly every farmers barn, says the correspon- dent of an exchange. picked out those that had the least lettering and washed them. When they were dry I pulled out every sixteenth thread. cut them on that line, then travelled off five threads from each side, leaving five in the centre. The strips sewed together and wove into rugs, leaving the natural color in the centre, with bright strips across the ends. They take very nice colors and I colored mine before cutting. Iwoye the rugs myself. and used some of the rayel- hngs for fringe, but anyone that weaves rag carpets can weave them.
 I saw recently thaS one women did not think 1t was economy to can yege- tables. prefer my own to those put up in factories. also can meats cook veal pork or beef until 1t will come of the bone. Then press it closely in glass jars putting in enough of the thick broth so that there will be no airholes. It keeps well and comes very handy, as most farmers do not live near markets.

CONNECTICUT MILK
Is in Great Demand-Much of it is
 Shipped to Other States

Is in Great Demand-Much of it is
 Shipped to Other States
 According to the United States census of 1900 the annual production of milk i'll Connecticut amounts to 2S1.SI2, I4S quarts, representing the product of 1ss,- 900 COWS. About B per cent. of this milk is manufactured into butter and cheese. while the remaining 6 per cent. is used as milk and cream. These fig ures serve as an indication of the impor- tance of the milk industry in our state.
 While quite , percentage of the milk produced in the state is shipped to other states for consumption, principally to New York, Providence and Boston, a large part of it is consumed in the cities and villages in our own state. This being So, any problems relating to the quality of the milk produced should bs of interest to both the producers and tho consumers. For some years the state authorities have carefully looked afte. the chemical quality of the milk sold throughout the state with the re suit that milk of poor chemical. quality has been practically driven from the market. The consumer is also protected against the use of chemical preserva- tives so milk users need have little fear of being defrauded either by low con- tent of fats aud solids or by the use of conservatives. It Is probably safe to say that the cream and butter-fat content of Connecticut milk averages as high as that of any state. The production of milk from animals suffering from con tagious diseases is also carefully guarded against by state laws and inspection It has been, however, only during the Inst few years that any attention has been paid to the sanitary conditions under which milk has been produced and handled.
 Physicians agree that certain diseases are easily communicated by bacteria being carried III milk, also that many infants and young children die each year as the result of impure milk. Impure not from the use of adulterants or conservatives, but as natural result of the conditions under which it is produced and handled.

Must Start Penniless for San Francisco
 and Come Back with $l.0OO.
 To start from New Haven dead broke, and to go to San Francisco and return in just one year to the minute with $1 900 in their pockets, Is what William Hogan and Peter Campion, two young men of that city are to do to win a wager of $500 made between them and four others. On the night on which they are to begin their journey they are to meet the others just before II o'clock turn their pockets inside out and give up everything of value. Then, as the bell sounds II o'clock they are to move.
 From that second on until their re- turn they are to make their way across to San Francisco as best as they can, and must not beg borrow or steal even I cent to help them in their travels Everything they get must be earned and to ensure this they must get certificate from each and every one they work for, showing just how much they received as compensation.
 Aside from getting to Frisco and back they must arrive here also with S1, ,00O Mir. Hogan Is hthographer and Mir Campion clerk, but they can engage in any kind of work.

Horse in Pants

A horse in trousers Is interesting Canandaigua, N Y. The horse belongs to the Canandaigua agent for the Hu- mane society. He observed that his horse suffered severely from the attacks of horsefiies So he conceived the idea of taking some old trousers legs and placing them on the animal, fastening them to the fly net The horse Is now able to eat his rations without stopping to fight flies and the plan is as much success as was the old horse bonnet to protect horses heads from heat, which also had its origin ill Canandaigua years ago.
