The NORWALK GAZETTE says it
doesn’t mind blizzards that bowl or
cats in back yards that yowl,~ but it
draws the line on the existance of the
present political situation. Says the
GAZETTE: I
“We can stand 'most anything but
the continued fake accounts 'of athreat- '
ened fight between-Fessenden and ‘Fy-
ler. They make us weep.” .
This is the first intimation given its
readers by our N orwalk contemporary
that it cared apicayune who gdt slug-
ged in the preliminary bouts of the gu-
bernatorial campaign this year.
the GAZETTE shed tears in anticipa-
tion of the delivery of a solar plexus
-blow by Fessenden to Fyler, or is it in
nervous terror lest Fyler should get in
a clinch with Stamford’s statesman and
hurl him down the political embank-
ment? A truthful explanation of the
GAZETTE’S redness of eyes would be
gratefully acknowledged by it contem-
poraries—Stamford Republican .
We were'lifiot'flaware that the 'GA-
ZETTE’S position was in the dark, but
if our young Stamford contemporary
has called us out we will state for its
information that theGAZETTE is with

Stamford was big enough to draw

No! Neither do they banker after

Five-Inch Chisel Buried in
His Head.
Charles Baker, a machinist, oi
W'aynesboro, 1’a., had for 11 weeks car-
tied a steel chisel around in his head
without knowing it was there.
Twenty-seven physicians, says the
New York World,- attended the. un-
usual operation when the chisel was re-
moved in Baltimore. Baker has rccov~
ered and returned to his work.
Mr. Baker operated a steam machine
which contained two chisels and re-
volved 1,200 times a minute. One day
early in September he wasfound un-
‘WONDERFUL ' OPERATION.
(Diagram Shows the Location of the Chisel
in Baker’s Headl) i9;
conscious beside his machine. He was
bleeding freely from a cut on the nose,
5. cut on the chin and a. cut on the
leg.
An investigation showed that both
chisels had been flung from the ma-
chine. One was found in the room,
and the other had disappeared. The
chisels were 51/, inches long, one inch
.wide and. one-fourth of an inch thick.
Baker remained unconscious three
days. When he recovered he never
thought for a moment that the miss-
ing chisel was in his head. He was not
confined to his bed, but went about
the streets. The cuts on his face had
opened small arteries. The wounds
did not heal rapidly by home treat-
ment, and Baker placed himself in the
care of St. Joseph’s hospital. After a
week or two at the hospital the wounds
healed. The presence of the chisel was
still unsuspected.
After he had the chisel in his skull
for 11 weeks Baker began to complain
of a' stiffness of. the muscles of the
neck and a partial paralysis of the
nerves of ’the face and neck. It was
thought that some foreign substance
had got. into the wound, and it was
decided to place Baker under the X-
i'ays. '
iHe'was taken to the State Normal
schodl at Baltimore. The fluoroscope
revealed the chisel in the man’s head.
It reached from the bridge of the nose
nearly to the spine.
The chisel in its course cut through
the face bone. narrowly missed cutting
the base of the tongue. the jugular
vein, the base of the brain and stopped
just short of the spinal cord.
An operation was decided upon and
was performed by Prof. Louis McLanc
Tiffany and Dr. Carey 13. Gamble, Jr..
and the resident hospital surgeons. 11
was necessary to open Baker's face
from the eyebrows down the nose to the
upper lip. The flesh was laid to one
side and then forceps were used in
withdrawing the chisel.
It was feared that Ihe chisel had been
so firmly imbrddrd in the hours that
considerable difficulty would be found
in removing the loo]. The fear was
not realized.

STRAW AS FERTILIZER.
Taking All Kinds Into Consideration,
its Value Can Be Placed at 'l‘m'o
Dollars a Ton.
The actual value of straw for the fer.-
tiliinng, elements in. the straw itself
may be roughly estimated at about two
dollars per ton or a little more,-taking ~
all the various straws Iinto considera-
tion. Clover haulm, from which the
seed has been ‘th’reshcd and which has
lost its leaves, must- bereckoned con-
siderably higher, and we should say
at three times. that amount, although-
we have not-a reliable analysis at hand
on Which. to base our estimate. But
the importance of using straw as bed-
ding in ,the stables does not depend
upon the value of -the straw as after-
tilizer, but first upon the value of a
warm, dry and comfortablebed for the
. animals, a. purpose which. may be served
by other material, as sawdust or leaves,-
and second'upon its power of absorbing
liquids. Straw easily absorbs twice its
own weight, and when that consists of
the liquid excrements of the animal,
it makes. the soaked straw .actually.
more valuable than the solid-droppings ‘
of the animals. It saves and conveys
to the soil in. a form readily available.
for plant food, all the nitrates, phOs-
phates and potash which are passed all
from the system' in that. way. It has -
also a mechanical efiect in lightening
up a heavy soil, making it porous, more
absorbent of moisture, more easily
penetrated by plant roots, and also by
frost and air, both of which have im--
portant effects in working the chemical
changes there which make mineral
matters more readily available. “’e do

us good bedding as straw, and neither
does corn slovrr, but either of them
contain mere fertilizing elements than
wheat. or out straw, and if cut in pieces
of an inch long they have nearly as I‘ . '
much absorbent. power. It is amistake
to put either of these-into the manure
without cutting them. because they
have not then opportunity to absorb
so much' of the liquid, and because more
extra labor is necessary to handle the ~
manure with these long stalks in it
than would be required to reduce them
to inch‘long pieces. The same thing
may be said. of potato, tomato, squash
and other vines. if cut short. they make
valuable additions to the manure heap.
but if put in uncut they are a nuisance.

WOODEN WATER PIPES.
How the. Farm Spring May Be Divert- '
ed to House or Born at Ahnost
No Expense.
Where water is to be conveyed under
ground a wooden pipe can often be used
at a great saving of expense. Use cedar
or some wood that will not readily de-
cay under ground, and make in either . r;
of 1110 forms shown in the cut, “tongue

bottom, filling the joints with white

spring to the house or burn at almost
no expense in money, and the labor of
digging a. trench can be done at odd
limes when other work is not pressing.
()n hundreds and hundreds of farms the
stock is driven long distances to water
in stormy as well as pleasant weather,
and often with great discomfort. to both
attendants and stock, when all the
while the wal or might be brought right
into the barn. If a farmer could once
experience the satisfaction and profit
of having a supply of water thus at
hand and under cover, he would never
permit a possible opportunity to secure
this convenience to go to waste. With
the water in the barn, moreover, there
is no longer need for the stock to drink
ice water for five months of the year.—
