She was attired in her street gown,

HELD WITHOUT BONDS
 FOR DEATH OF FIANCE
Mystery Surrounds Death of Promi-
 nent Stamford Man.

Stamford, Conn, June 24.-Coroner John J. Phelan began his inquest late to,.ay into the mysterious circum- stances surrounding the death of Wal do R. Baliou. a prominent citizen, for which Mrs Helen Nj. Angle, his sup posed fiancee is being. held without bonds. Ballou was found in the street, unconscious, at an early hour today, and he died soon afterwards in a hos pital.
 The inquest was brief, being ad- journed until tomorrow afternoon at the request Of counsel for Mrs. Angle According to evidence introduced by pr. George Sherrill, the medical exam finer, and Dr. Weaver of the hospital, death was caused by a hemorrhase due to fracture of the skull Bruises on the head. face and hands were also found. It was the opinion of the phy- sicians that the fracture could not have been caused by a blunt instru ment. In response to a question by the coroner, Dr. Weaver said the fatal wound could have been caused by a bedslat or the bottom of chair
 The police told of finding the body point adjournment was taken. Mrs. Angle is expected to go on the stand tomorrow. She told the police today that she had nothing to do with Bal lou's death; that he stumbled down stairs in her apartments while under the influence. of liquor. She said she heard him fall. found him bleeding at the foot of the stairs, and then. in order to avoid notoriety, carried him looking. Later she got a cloth and wiped up the blood stains and thrust Ballou's blood-stained straw hat into a clohes chest.

TO SAVE BY ES' Is the object of This Free Prsseriptien Try 1t if Your Eyes Give
 You Trouble.


 Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good homo remedy for every other minor allment, but none for their eye trou- bfes. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would. anyway. charge them q heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the live and ten-cent store, and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need. or which, after being used two or three months. do their eyes more injury than good. Here is q simple prescription that every one should use:
 grains Optona q tablet)
 ounces water
 Use three or four times day to nathe the eyes This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean. sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and Irritation; weak, watery, over worked, tired eyss and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by it's use. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in Jure the most sensitive eyes of an in fant or the aged. Lee & Osgood or any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is.

SOIL ANALYSIS.
By E. H. JENKINS,

Director Storrs Experiment Station. Chemical analysis of small samples of soil are quite useless and the sta they are useless. The work of analysis is very laborious and expensive and shows only of what the soil consists. In the present state of knowledge 1t does not and cannot show what and how much plant food is in shape for the next crops to gather and use. But this is the very thing which the far mer wants to know. Any attempts to prescribe for the immediate needs of soils on the strength of chemical tests are utterly foolish and misleading
 Figure 1t for yourself. Your soil to a depth of nine inches weighs about three million pounds per acre and has, perhaps. two-tenths of one per cent. of nitrogen in the soil. Your next wheat crop will take. perhaps. only 35 ibs. of it. It may be that this soil will yield 35-4O bushels of wheat without ferti- 1fzer nitrogen. But it may be that 8 top dressing of 250 lbs. of nitrate of soda on this soil will make the differ ence between poor crop and a good one. Now this 250 lbs. of nitrate adds only 3S ibs of nitrogen to the 5000 lbs. already in the soil; so little that a chemical analysis could hardly detect it, yet it may be vital to success.
 Soil "doctoring" Is of little value compared with soil sanitation" See to it in the first place thar the land it we'll drained. well titled and well restored by getting into 1t much yege- table matter (humus) and nitrogen by green manures and cover crops and by abundantly lining. After the land has been brought into healthy pro- ductive condition from ci1e ga .itary standpoint, fertilizer tests may then be made to find whether it has any special deficiencies in either element of plant food.

EGG RECORD MADE GAIN
 IN THIRTY-THIRD WEEK
Figure Was 3,3o9-Exeeeded Former
 Week by 20 Eggs.

The feature of the thirty-third week of the International Egg Laying con- test at Storrs was a gain of twenty eggs or total yield for the week of preceding week. This gain of 20 eggs on production of more than 3,000 is small to be sure when figured on a percentage basis. It means, however, that whereas production is expected to fall off at this season of the year it is at least temporarily holding steady and will probably drop very slowly. At the same time the price of eggs is now steadily rising and the cost Of producing eggs at this season is perhaps as low as at any time of the year.
 The lighter breeds are usually thought of as non-sitters. The gen. eral rule Is that hen that lays white eggs will not incubate them There are, however, some exceptions to this rule In going over the records for the past week it is found for instance that some of the Leghorns> are broody. though they are relatively fewer in number to be sure, but broody never theless. The exact figures for the four principal breeds represented are as follows: There was one broody hen on an average for each seven Wyan- dottes in the contest. One broody Rhode Island Red for each nine hens, fourteen, and one broody Leghorn for each thirty-six It perhaps is not ad- visable to trust good eggs to a Leg horn to hatch. particularly to a Leg horn bullet as she is so likely to change her mind.
 The best single pen yield for the week amounted to 61 eggs which equals but does. not surpass the best pen record since the contest opened. This record was made by the pen of Ehglish Leghorns owned by Tom Bar ron. Two pens of Leghorns owned by Charles N. St. John, Greene, N. Y., and George A. CosgFove. West Will 1fngton.

CARE OF CREAM AND MILK.
By PROF. G. c. WH4
Connecticut Agricultural College.


 During this period of the year, the dairyman has much trouble in keeping milk in a sweet condition. Milk is an go on the market in sweet condition or else 1t has to be turned into a diff ferent channel Even for butter mak- -ing the butter maker can turn out a much higher grade of product If he has a good cream to work with.
 Very little difficulty is experienced in the winter with milk and cream. The difference Is largely a matter of temperature. Milk sours very quickly when subjected to temperatures from 65 to 100 F.
 A cooling tank, IS inches wide and 26 inches deep will cool cans of milk. Cold water should be introduced into one end of the tank and an overflow placed on the other end. The inflow had best be introduced so that the water will be delivered near the lot tom of the tank. thus forcing the cold water to the bottom.
 The warm water is forced through the overflow at the other end. The cNerf1ow water may be delivered into drinking trough, especially if the water is drawn from 8 well.
 Quick cooling is very essential. Stir ring the milk after it has been placed in the tank Is of great value. If the milk is not stirred, ten to twenty hours Will De required to cool II to the water temperature, during which time the milk would be souring rapidly.
 Strictest attention should be given to have all vessels sterilized with steam or boiling water. At this season of the year every bit of organic matter forms good food for micro organisms when moisture is present, especially if the power of resistance is not pos sessed.
 II. In the Home.
 Not all of the dairymen's troubles develope through his lack of knowl- edge. or facilities. In caring for the milk. much of the grievance at this season of the year could be avoided if the homekeeper realized the inn portance of proper care in the home. It does not matter how carefully the milk is kept before delivery it will not keep twenty-four hours unless care is taken. If ice is not at hand. 1t may be placed in vessel surrounded by cold water. If the day is quite warm. the water must be changed a half dozen times.
 To avoid further contamination, the bottle should not be left uncovered. When using milk from the bottle. only that which is needed should be taken out If placed in a warm pitcher taken from the pantry shelf. t is best no. to pour back into the bottle.
 The consumer should not blame the milkman for difficulties over which he has no control.
