COMMITTEE WILL MAKE
 COLCHESTER FARM sURYEY

At meeting of the farm bureau committee in Colchester it was decided recently that fairly complete survey should be made of farming conditions in the town. At the present time the ave age. man is not making enough on his farm to give himself a fair living, and it was felt that. some action was neces! sary to get the men together on some good program Just what this will be is not yet been determined but Mr. MehI, the marketing specialist, and County Agent H. F. Johnson discussed this proposition with the, committee and it was felt that a survey to determine just what crops were grown and what live stock products were produced on each of the farms, would. be necessary before any good program could be out fined
 The committee agreed to have these survey, records completed within two weeks so that the survey will end dur ing Thanksgiving week. Anoe<-zr meet ing will then be held of the committee at which tentative program will .bs outlined and later presented to mass meeting of farmers interested.

WATERFORD ARMERs DISCUSS
 COOPERATIVE COW BUYING

At a meeting recently held in Water ford Professor A. R.. Merrill of the Connecticut Agricultural College and County Agent H. F. Johnsens of this city discussed with the dairy men the pos sibility of bringing in some very high grade Wisconsin cows. Professor Mer- Till has recently returned from trip through, some parts of Wisconsin and states that for $150 to $175 it is possi- ble to go into herds that have COW test association records and. pick out some very excellent milk producers. At the present time dairymen are buying COWS largely or inferior quality. These cows are bought through a system of dealers but Professor Merrill pointed out that a dealer must necessarily safeguard his interests and ss he is naturally buying and selling cows ' to make a profit whereas if group of farmers would get together, pool their orders and hire some good reliable men in their locality to purchase some high grade cows there

 WITH THUNDER AND LIGHNIN

Almost without warning Norwich was visited by a severe thunder and light ming storm about o'clock Monday morning which for about an hour held sway around the city. The storm swept down on the city from the direction of the Connecticut river. The rainfall was not heavy but during the storm large hail stones rattled down, some as large as marbles. The thunder was heavy and the lightning vivid. Several houses on the West Side of the city suffered burned out fuses as the result of the storm, one sharp crack indicating that the lightning struck in that vicinity cf the city.
 Following the storm the air began to clear and the temperature began, to fall and late in the evening the change was very noticeable. Weather sharps state that the storm meant the end of the warm weather: we have. been enjoying and the arrival of calder weather.

HOW WESTFIELD SWAIN
 WROTE ID NORWICH GIRL


 Just how swains- of Westheld now compose their love letters, one may not attempt to say. says the Springfield Re- publican: Such delicate matters do not, usually, see the light of day, or of pub licity, at least, not until years after they were written. ..- Here, however is portion of a love letter written in West field not quite 25o years ago by Edward Taylor, a young minister, who later married the object of his adofation,- Miss Elizabeth Fitch, daughter of Rev. MT Fitch, one of the founders of the then infant town of Norwich, Conn: This for my friend and only beloved; Miss NElizabeth Fitch, at her fathers house in Norwich.
 ''westfeld, day of 7th month, 1874. My Dove,
 q send you, not my heart, for that l trust is sent to heaven long since, and unless it hath wofully deceived me, it hath not taken up its lodgings in any ones bosom on this side of the Royal City of the Great King, but yet the most of it that is allowed to be layed out upon any creature doth safely and singIy fall to your shore.
 50 much my post pigeon present you with here in these lines. Look not, l entreat you, upon it as one of loves fhyperboles, if borrow the beams of some sparkling metaphor to illustrate my respects unto myself by, for you hav- l ing made my breast the cabinet of your 1 affections, as yours mine, I know not i how to, offer az filter comparison to set out my love by than to compare it un- to a golden ball Az pure fire, and then a0 spark like a glorious beam from the body of the flaming sun. But alas striving to catch these sparks into love- letter unto yourself, and to sild it with them as with sunbeam, I find that, by what time they have fallen through my pen upon my paper they have lost theiI shine, and fell only like a little smoke thereon instead of gliding them, where fore, finding myself so much deceived, am ready to begTudge my instruments for though my love within m,
 breast is so large that my heart i: mot sufficient to contain it, yet they car no more, make room to ride into, thar
 to squeeze it up between my black inl
 and white paper. But know that it i: the coarSest thing that is chouchant there
 for the purest is too fine to cIothe in an! Anguish huswifry, or to be expressed il words"
 , In the old history of Norwich iron which this fragment is taken one in in formed that from this point the love of 1647 ran into the style of a ser } mon and the lovereis almost lost in tn theologian' So, being more intereste, in love letters than in theology, the his torian does not give the rest of it.
