QUEER ACCIDENT.
Blow from Stove LITTER Caused
an Explosion.

Mrs. Josephine Cominsky, l8 years
old, of No. II Pearsall street, Long
Island City, became angry Thurs
day night with Caster Gussus. who
boards with her, and and struck him
on the side with an iron stove litter
Immediately there was loud report
and Gussus fell to the floor scre m
ing with pain.
Mrs. Cominsky called an ambu-
lance from st. Johns hospital. The
surgeon found taat:Mrs. Cominsky's
blow had exploded a cartridge that
Gussus had carried in his pocket.
and the bullet, striking against a
twenty-five cent piece, had driven
the coin partly in his side.
The hospital doctors cut out the
coin and Gussus will recover. The
coin undoubtedly saved the mans

A dispatch from New York says
Pythagoras, the toad. took his first
meal in one thousand years at the
Bronx Zoo. Four flies and an earth
worm constituted the meal of the

buried for so many centuries in
limestone rock. $50 feet down in the
silver mine at Butte, Mont.
The ancient toad is slowly recov-
ering his eyesight and the use of
his limbs. and is gradually turning

COULDN'T You RAISE YOUR OWN
MULES
Then do you go in debt for
mules in the spring, hoping to
pay back for them out of the
cotton crops The mule raisers
in Missouri and Kentucky look
for their profit out of the cotton
crop of the South, and get it
Don't you think that if you kept
some mares and raised at least
the mules you need on your
plantation it would be cheaper
than buying them out of that
crop Z? Is it not about time for
the cotton farmer of the South
to quit enriching the hog and
cattle raisers and packers and
mule raisers and fertilizer man
ufacturers ? What crop on earth
except cotton could stand such a
drain
Therefore at this season for
resolutions let all make the reso-
luton to study more this winter
and plan for better farming. Get
out of the notion that all other
crops. are merely supplies" to
enable you to grow more cotton
for if you farm right in good
rotation you will soon find that
these supplies get to be sur
plus and become as profitable as
cotton, while increasing your a
bility to grow more cotton per
acre, and hence at a smaller
cost.

Lets Farm Better in 1908.
Progressive Farmer.

y
ally a time for new resolutions.
1t is good time to review the
past year, and to learn some-
thing from Its errors. Many
farmers say that they made poor
crops because their land is poor.
Did you ever reflect on your own
responsibility for its being poor?
Will you continue next year to
plant land in the old way and
again complain that the crops
are poor because the land is poor?
Or will you resolve to go right
to work in a systematic way TO
improve the land9 1t has be-
come poor through long years of
bad treatment, and to restore it's
original fertility and productive
ness, you must farm it right.
ROOT UP THE RICH RED CLAY.
Have you ever tried to get the
benefit of the fertility in that old
red clay hill you have been
scratching over with a single
mule and q Boy Dixie plow?
There are thousands of farmers
In the red uplands of the South
who have no idea of the produc-
tiveness OF the red clay right un
der the scratch of the little plow
or the bull tongue they have been
using. Now is good time to
get the sub-soiler at work root
ing up that red clay to let pea
roots get down into it.
PEAS AND GLOVER FOR YOUR COT.
TON LAND
Are you still planting cotton
only, year after year? Are you go
ing over ten acres to get as much
cotton as three or four acres
should make? Why not try tc
make three or four acres pro-
duce it? Are you resting land
by letting ii grow up in weeds
and grass between cotton crops
Do you not think that peas on
the land rest it more effectually
than weeds? Would not the peas
give you feed for stock and en-
able you to raise more manure
and better manure for the cotton
crop? Are you going in debt
every spring for fertilizer for the
cotton crop, and paying the high
est price for what is of value in
it by buying the low grade rs Q
goods? Did you ever reflect that
to make the apparent low price
on fertilizer of this grade the
manufacturer must put into it
about one fourth of the bulk of
useless "filler" on which you
pay freight when you have plen-
ty of poor dirt on your land al
ready? Did you ever realize
that by the regular use of peas
and crimson clover in a short ro-
tation of crops you could avoid
the purchase of any ammonia in
fertilizer? In such a mixture
as have mentioned the nitrogen
in that ammonia costs you twen
ty cents a pound now. Then in
the 2-8-2 goods you are getting
in every 100 pounds two pounds
of nitrogen that costs you forty

ing out of that soil, aud you are
losing more nitrogen than you
will buy in more than 100 pounds
of low grade fertilizer, while you
might have had crimson clover
covering that land-adding nit
rogen to it instead of losing its
In fact, is it not time for every
Southern farmer to understand, :,
as hundreds of farmers further
North have found, that when a
farmer farms right in short
rotation with legume crops like
peas and crimson clover brought
in frequently on the land, he
can keep his land improving and
MS crops increasing, and yet
never buy an ounce of ammonia
in fertillzer9 And yet, l know
of one section where the wheat
farmers have brought up their
lands to the production of an
average of forty bushels per
acre, and in doing this have
never bought any nitrogen or
ammonia at all. But we must
keep up the supply of nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium in our
land, anu if we do mot get sthe
nitrogen through the use of the
legumes we must buy it at O
fancy figure, and all over the
South the cotton farmers are
paying high prices for the nit
rogen they could get for nothing
while raising the best feed in the
world for stock.
Then, if they had the feed and
the stock they would be.in shape
to have something to sell in the
spring to.give them cash to buy
the kinds of fertilizer they need
at lower figures than on credit.
TURN OVER A NEW LEAF.
Now at this New Year season
IL Is good time 10 resolve TO
! farm better, to study your soil
and its needs and to plan a rota.
ton that will be making your
poor land richer while giving
you annually increased crops.
1t is a good time to resolve that
you will make an effort to get
out of the old ruts and turn a
new leaf in farming. If your
land is poor there is no better way
TO keep it poor than by planting
cotton or tobacco year after year
with a little dribble and buying
of low grade, but costly, fertili
zer.

GAME WARDEN CASE
Court Room Was Crowded with
People From Beacon Falls.

The defense in the case of the state
against Rocco Brunette and Peter
Brianto for shooting Game Warden
Edwards of Beacon Falls with intent
to kill him, began in the superior
court at noon to-day. Attorney Ken
nedy, counsel for the accused,
showed this morning that at the
trial in Beacon Falls Edwards did
not Identify Brianto in the court
room as one of the men who had
shot him. Edwards stated that he
forgot to mention yesterday that he
heard Brianto say There goes that
Italian detective and I'll fix him yet
for only for him I'd not be here. =
The arrests were made mainly by
the activity of this detective, whose
name is Burrello. Attorney Kennedy
tried to show that this remark did
not occur to Edwards at all and that
1t was Burrello told him he had for
gotten to mention it In his story yes
terday. Referring to the night OF
the trial in Beacon Falls again, Ed
wards stated in response to ques-
tions by Mr. Kennedy that though
he came from his house to the court
room that night he did not ask If
the men who had shot him were ar
rested. He did tell some one, how
ever, that Brianto was one of the
men who shot him, and no one asked
him to identify him.
The defense undertakes to prove
an alibi. Mrs Mariana Saba, Bri-
anto's landlady, testified that she
saw Brianto in bed at the time it
was said the shooting took place, 8
o'clock at night, and she was sure
he did not leave the room until next
morning. This statement was cor
roborated by Elizabeth Saba, daugh-
ter of Mrs Saba. Brianto, she said,
slept with her brother that night
and was in the house all night.
Court adjourned at 3 O'Clock and
the jury was given the usual warn
ing to avoid discussions Of the case
with persons not jurors.
There Is the greatest interest man
ifested in the case. All Beacon Falls
seems to be in the room, for every
available space where one can sit or
stand is occupied, and there is fair
sprinkling of women in the big
crowd

NO JUNE CAMP.
Think the Time Is IncOn-

Militiamen Think the Time Is Incon-
venient for Them.
New Haven newspapers say that
the members of the Second regiment,
C. N. G., which it is said will be or
dered into camp at Jefferson bar
racks at Watertown, N. ", with fed
eral troops, from June Is to 25, are
Directing on the ground that 1t will
be an inconvenient time. Colonel
Geddes is quoted as saying that many
men in the regiment would prefer a
later, date; that the time fixed will
be very inconvenient, as commence
ment week comes about that time.
This last fact was probably over
looked when the date was selected,
but IL has not been by the New Ha-
ven men, who, 1t is also rumored,
will ask that the First regiment be
sent to Jefferson barracks instead Of
the Second. II is said further that
camp life with the regulars will not
be at all like that at Mantle, and
that the soldiers expect something
like their experiences at Manassas.
