Prisoner Returns Kindness By Breaking From Jail
JOHN PELZER ASSAULTS WIFE
Death Claims Henry Hyde, Civil War Veteran Construction BOwlerS Lose ill Soutllington-Lal>e View Pigeon Club Arranges for Flight.

That it does not pay to spread the s'nilk of kindness is the firm belief of Constable John Hackett, who yes terday placed John Pelzer of Ken sington under arrest. The 1atter's wife called at MT. Hackett's home shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and informed the constable that her husband had beaten : her severely while they were arguing about f1nan- cial matters. The condition of the woman was ample proof that she had received a beating, so Constable Hackett journeyed to the Pelzer fhome and placed the lord and master of the house under arrest When Hackett arrived at the town jail with his prisoner, he noticed the building was very cold. Fearing the prisoner would become i'll, he decided to con- fine him in the ce1l-room instead of the iron cell. He did this and, af- ter carefully locking the door, went home. Last night about Ii o'clock Superintendent Skinner went to the room to see if Pelzer desired any thing before he retired. Superinten- dent Skinner found the door of the place smashed through and the pris-
 
 lice officials were notified, but up to II o'clock this morning no trace had been found of the missing man. Cor stable HacEett vowed this morning g that it would be the last time he would take notice of the physical comforts of any prisoner, and felt very confident he would have Pelzer entwined in the meshes of the law in a very short time.

 Taps sounded for another Civil war veteran early Sunday morning, when Henry R. Hyde passed away af- Ter an illness of several weeks The cause was given as 9 general break down MT. Hyde has been in the limelight lately because of his de- sire to have the. town aid him and his wife, with whom he lived on the Webster farm on the Turnpike. About three months ago he told Se- lectman Gibney he was destitute and desired town aid. MT. Gibney in- yestigated the case and found Mr. Hyde was a citizen of Franklin He communicated with the selectmen Of that town. Later the members of tha local D. A. R. and the Women's Re- lief Corps of New Britain secured uuarters for couple in the Cromwell Soldiers Home, but they refused to go there.
 Mr. Hyde was 73 years old and was native of Lebanon. He moved tc Franklin and upon the death of his second wife entered the Soldiers home at Noroton. Later he married for the third time and two years and

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
No farming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer
tility of their soils without the use Of
live stock. Farming without the use
OF manures is waste of energy and
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect in preserving and increasing
the quantity of farm manures has re-
suited in great drain on the natural
resources Of the American farm, es-
pecially in the southern part of the
United States. The lack Of intelligent
| care of the waste products and the
| convenient form of commercial fertil-
tzers have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect of farm
manures. A much greater value can
be had from commercial fertilizers
when used wisely in connection with
manure and green crops.
The use of barnyard manure is the
best means of improving the condition
| Of the soils, and the Importance Of
carefully preserving all the manure
products on the farm for judicious use
on the cultivated fields cannot be too
strongly impressed on the farmers.
One Of the principal reasons for the
small value sometimes realized from
manure Of any kind is that it has not
been properly handled and through
| exposure and neglect has lost large
percentage Of it's plant food. Prob
| ably from Is to 80 per cent Of the
fertilizing value Of crop is left in
the manure after passing through the
animal. Since the fertilizer in soluble
form and the manure quickly begin to
ferlnent with loss of nitrogen, we
have some idea Of why it is of the
utmost Importance to protect the
manure supply from teaching by rains,
excessive fermentation, or from other
sources Of loss.
! The Cornell university experiment
station found that as much as so per
cent Of the plant-food constituents in
manure may be lost by teaching and
unnecessary fermentation. The prob
lem is how best and most economical
~ to prevent this loss. The best plan
where it is practicable is to haul out
the manure regularly, spread it upon
the land, and pillow it under The
best results usually are obtained by
tuning under shallow. The next best
plan is to keep the stock under sheds
or in stables with sufficient litter to
absorb all liquids. This treatment will
not only take up moisture but the con-
tinual trampling of the animal will ex-
clude all air, so that the accumulation
may go on without injury to it's quail
lty until a convenient time to remove
