Death Induced by Carriage Accident

Jerry j. Dodge, 20, died Friday
night of heart failure brought on by
injuries received in an accident the
previous Sunday. Although he had not
been in good health for some years he
with the courage and energy of a
much younger man, and with the in
dependence which characterized his
whole life he often refused kindly of
fers of help from his neighbors and
taxed his own strength beyond its
limits. Always a hard worker, he was
loath to give up and when he was
compelled to have assistance for brief
periods he always was back at work
before he should have been.
On the day when the accident hap
pcned he was feeling unusually well
and went to his upper pasture to at
tend to some horses which had broken
out, driving up in light buggy.
While rounding up the horses the
young horse which he was driving
started suddenly in a rough place and
broke a tug. The horse ran and Mr..
Dodge was thrown out. In spite of
the severe pain he was suffering he
succeeded in putting the horses back
into the pasture, catching his own
horse and walking down to the house.
But the effort completely exhausted
him and he was barely able to reach
the bed.
He suffered great pain on one knee
which was badly sprained and ply
stefan was summoned. Mr.. Dodge al
so received injuries to his back, but
it was not realized that his condition
was so serious. He seemed to be gain
ing in strength until death came Fri
day evening. Shortly before his death
he made a great effort to get up, de-
claring that he was well again.
He was born in Dummerston and had
lived here. the gteater part of his
life, practicing his trade as mason
and in later years giving his whole
attention to his farm north of the
village. He was son of Willard and
Iilpha (Temple) Dodge and was the
last surviving member of the family.
Besides his wife, who was Mrs. Clara
c. Rands Of Albion, n. Y, he leaves
two children by a former marriage,
Mrs. Bertha A. Piper of Wilbraham,
Mass, and Ernest j. Dodge of Spring
field, Mass Mr.. Dodge was member
of the Dummerston Congregational
church.
The funeral took place in the home
Monday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.
Rev. R. B. Davis of the Putney Bap

ney sang two selections. The bearers
were Henry Hazeton, Paschal Laugh

Severe Electrical Storm.

A severe electrical storm visited
this place Monday about noon, burn
ing out carbons and fuses and succeed
ed in giving those who have tele-
phones good scare, as the lightn-
ing was sharp and quickly followed
by terrific thunder. T.. f. Gorham of
Boston, who was visiting his brother,
Henry, was just going out the front
door to bring in some plants at his
sisters request when he was struck
in his left arm, paralyzing it and
numbing that whole side of his body
down to his feet. His sister, Susie,
says she saw the ball of fire, but was
so frightened she does not know
where it went.

"HOGGING DOWN CORN"

Many careful experiments at the experiment stations have proved the merits of the practice of "hogging down" corn. Let the hogs gather the crop; fence off a few acres at a time and if no peas in corn the pigs should be fed some bran, or tankage, or peas from another field should be cut and thrown to them. Small fields may be harvested more economically by the pigs than in any other way and the field is being fertilized all the time Every farmer should always plan a small field or corn and peas to be "hogged down."

Much or the cotton falling to the ground beglns to decay and is damaged thereby.

 the hardest task before them in the work of tick eradication, and prob- ably will require most of the five-year period to bring about the removal of quarantine from their territory. Texas
 has more counties quarantined be- cause of the presence of the fever tick than any other state, and has almost as many square miles in the quaran- tined area as all the other states com blned. It is probable, therefore. that the work of eradication there will take more time and that unless there Is unforeseen activity, Texas will be the last of the states to claim white ,area on the map. The finishing of the work of eradication in the other states however, will release Federal agents engaged in the work and will make possible the concentration of effort on Texas toward the end of the five-year period It is believed, therefore, that
 by the close of 1921 this concerted work, if properly supported by local cooperation, will result in tick eradi- cation from Texas and the freeing, therefore, of all United States terri tory from the pest
 As a result of eXtermination of the cattle tick from approximately 285,000 square miles in the 10 years during which the U. s. Department of Agri- culture and the states have been ac- lively engaged in the work, the cattle industry, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, in the South has inn proved from 50 to 100 per cent. Native beef cattle, freed from attacks of the ticks, have put on more flesh; native dairy cows are giving more
 milk; and, ecause danger of disease largely has been eliminated, cattle of
 better breeds have been brought into improve the native stock. The South has made greater progress in develop ltS lue CdlIle lll lilS letob c years than in the preceding 50 years, and there has been more progress in
 the industry in the South in that period than in any other section.
 The states and counties, railways and other corporations, and business men of the South have been active in emphasizing the great importance of tick eradication and in spreading in- terest and information among farm
 CTS and cattlemen. As a result of the operation of all these forces, the work
 of tick eradication practically has
 been half completed.
 On July 1, 1916, there had been freed from ticks 2S4,521 square miles
 of the original quarantined area of 72S,543 square miles. It is estimated that by next December 6O,O0O addi- tional square miles will be freed,
 bringing the total tick-free territory
 to 344,521 square miles. This will
 leave a total area under quarantine of I3S4,022 square miles.
