BODY OF WOMAN
BURNED TODEATH
Hogs Bite Off Charred Arm
of Mrs. Irene Armstrong
Near Oriole.
SONS MAKE GREWSOME
DISCOVERY OF BODY
Boys, Returning From Trip to
Cape, Locate Remains OF
aged Woman.

The charrcd and mutilated body Of
Ms. IreEe Armstrong, a widow resid-
ing on a farm near Oriole, was found
Ia.e Saturday night at the back door
CT her home by her two sons, when
they returned from shopping trip to
tie Cape. The clothes we're complete
y burned Off the body, and it was so
billy disfigured that it could hardly
BE- recognized From all indications
Ike body had been dragged from the
place where she had fallen, and it is
thought that this was done by some
hogs, which had gnawcd part of an
arm off.
The korror-strickcn soas wrapped
t.:eir mothers body iii Il sheet and
carried il into the house. They mott
ned Henry Brinkopf OF the Cape, who
lest immediately to prepare the body
for burial. The inquest over the re-
mains was held Sunday morning and
a verdict Of accidental death by burn
ing Vas returned. The funeral was
held in the afternoon from the Oriole
Methodist Church, on Indian Greek,
Rev. ID. NJ Nargraves Immediately.
The two sons, Charles and Russell,
made their home with their aged
mother. They went to the Cape SatuC-
day afternoon to lock after some bust
ness affairs and returned home about
6 o'clock in the evening. When they
approached the house and saw no light,
they feared an accident had befallen
her. for they knew that their mother
had not left the house. When they
walked through the house and their
mother was not there, they knew that
she ard met with an accident.
Going 20 the back door they found
her body lying about ten or fifteen
feet distant They carried it into the
house and summoned Lawrence Ha-
man. their brother-in-law, who is con-
nected with the Brinkopf Furniture
Co. He and Henry Brinl;opf left I'M
mediately.
An investigation showed that Mrs.
Armstrong; clothing had become ig-
nited while she was building fire in
the kitchen stove. 1t was found that
she had laid the kindling wood IN
the stove and poured some coal oil
over this wood On the stove lay
one match that had not been struck,
on the floor, however, the sons found |
another match partly burned.
Il is accepted that the fumes from
the coal oil, that stood on the stove,
were ignited when Mrs. Armstrong
lighted the match and that the eXplo- |
sion Of the oil set her clothing on
fire. Instead Of trying to smother the !
flames. she is supposed TO have fed
from the building. It IS assumed that !
when she reached the back door she |
COLLAPSED and burned to death while |
Ms. Armstrong was 81 years old.
She was the widow of Leon Arm
strong who died a few years ago. She

and two daughters, Mrs. Tom Ellis
who lives on farm near Orioie, and
Mrs. Lawrence Hannah. who lives IN

have attempted to consume the body

progressives of 1912 were back in the republican column, even when there was a progressive candidate in the field We are certain that between 90 and 95 per cent. of the progressive vote ot 1912 in Connecticut will be cast for Governor Hughes on Tuesday.
 'T do not look for any great va rience between the vote for national ard state tickets, including the vote for Senator Mclean. While there are a. few who will vote the republican state ticket and will vote for the re- election of President Wilson, there are many democrats who will vote for MT. Hughes. f ~
 There are many undercurrents in the situation even at this late date because of which would not be sur prised if the republican pluralities should far exceed 2Q,000.

The next Connecticut legislature will have not over 45 dem ocrats in the house of representatives and not more than five or six demo- crats in the senate.

DRESSING WOUNDS OF TREES
Experiments Conducted by New York Station Show That Dressings Used
 Are Often Injurious.

Experiments were started by the New York Station in 1911 and con- ducted for four years to determine whether any coverings are necessary for wounds of trees, as well as the effect on the trees of various sub stances used in treating wounds. The trees used in the experiments were apples and peaches and the sub stances used as coverings were white lead. white zine, yellow ocher, coal tar, shellac and avenarius earbolin- cum. The dressings were applied when the pruning was done at diff ferent seasons of the year and upon wounds of various ages.
 From the results of this experiment as a whole it Is concluded that the dressings commonly applied to prun- ing wounds retard rather than ac- celerate the healing of the wounds. The effects are the same whether the dressings are applied when the wounds are made or some weeks later when the cut surface has dried out. The effects of the dressings used  are so injurious to peach wood that wounds on peach trees should never be covered. For sprayed orchards at least it appears unnecessary to apply dressings to wounds under four or five inches in diameter to prevent the entrance of fungi. It remains to be proved whether dressings have any real value in covering large wounds. The injury caused by dressings prob ably offsets or even overbalanees any possible protection against decay.
 Of the materials used shellac was the least injurious and seemed to ex- ert stimulating influence upon the wound for the first season. Of the protective substances used white lead is considered to be the best.

CHECK ON ROTTING POTATOES
Be Saved by Application of SIaked or Hydrated Lime.

From many places comes complaint of potato rotting It seems not gen. orally understood that by the proper application of slaked, or, hydrated lime, this rotting can be checked and thereby thousands of bushels saved. It is. however. generally understood that potatoes should never be stored in a place too damp to allow what earth adheres to them to dry and rub off
 Having them first we'll dried and all rotten ones thrown out and those besmeared carefully wiped dry, they may be put into bushel baskets, handful or about a pint of lime poured upon them, the basket shaken until the lime has penetrated every creyice of it's contents. They may now be placed on small piles to remain there until the final sorting Ordinarily at this final sorting it will be found that some have taken a dry rot which does those lying against them no harm. The drying up is due to the action of the lime.
 The writer has for many years used lime in some way or another and al ways with good results. The ques- tion will no doubt be asked, What amount of lime can be used without injury to the potatoes ?" The writers answer is, T don't know, that depends upon how wet the potatoes are.''
