Bspecially the advertisements. I've Bot quite used to hearing how I can make $1,500 In ten months from hens in a back garden ten feet wide by forty long. Now comes the tale of how two men who, four years ago, didn't know a hen from a hoptoad, are get- ting a profit of $14,000 a year. from’ poultry. I own right wup that these things make me gasp a little. But then, what I don’t know about hens would Alll ‘a dietionary—unabridged.

Then they fair- 1y erupt eges. ¥ _So I don’t pretend to doubt or to be- lieve these hen histories. I simply get what breath I can, after reading them. and begin anothér chapter. But I used to know something about raising corn, and when I read, last fall, that a certdin North Caroling farmer had tak- ©n a county premium for blggest crop it o measured yigld of 208 2-3 bush. cls from a measured acre, I sat up and began {0 take notice Only this very week. however, have I succeeded in get- ting anything like & detailed statement of how,he did it. He writes to @ farm paper “On the 12th of March 25 two horse loads of cow manure were applied. It was then plowed twelve inches deep, and sub-sofled six inches deeper. On the Sth of April 20 more loads of ma- ure were spread and the field was plowed and sub-solled again—this time 25 inches deep. Three days. later 800 pounds of acid phosphate and 2,000 pounds of cogtonsed meal were spread and harrowed in. The corn was plant- ed eight inches apart with the rows 41 inches apart, and 600 pounds of §-3-3 fertilzer put in_the row. May 20th, 400 pounds acid phospate. §00 pounds kainit and 200 pounds nitrate of soda were put along the rows. On the 27th 200 pounds of cottonseed meal, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds kminit and 200 pounds nitrate of soda were broadcasted and harrowed in. June 9th, 200 pounds of cottonseed meal, 200’ pounds acld phosphate, 400 pounds kainit and 200 pounds pitrate were applled, The yleld was 2262-3 bushels. The manure applied _was worth $56.25; the fertilizer cost $35.50, and ihe total cost of the crop was $139.02." Ti# previous year the acre was in cow-peas, and, in another part of his latter. the corn man says: “T did all 1 could with the land and the cultivation. 1 cultivated as much as I thought the land would stand.” Now, I've been analyzing thsse fig- ures whichh he gives, to see how far they could be made to apply to my sit- uation, and what hope there would be for me in an imitation of them. To begin with, it is apparent that his acre yielded him about 7,250 quarts of corn from about 19,000 plants—plants eight inches apart in the forty-one inch rows, That is, he must have got a guart of corn from every two and a. half plants. As it takes six good ears of ordinary eight-rowed corn, from ten to twelve inches long, to shell out a quart, he must have done better than two good ears to a plant, on every plant through- out the acre. This, certainly, is a good yield. But, In view of the manuring and cultivation, it is not impossible nor incredible. Now we are coming to the manuring. He put on and plowed under forty- five two horse ‘loads of cow manure This he valued at $1.25 a load, or $5 which s just about the vaiuation in my neighborhood. Later, In five sep- arate applications, he put on 6,800 pounds of commercial fertilizers, which he specifies, He states that theso cost him $58.80. There is'where his good Iuck seems to have begun. I find that the price of the same 6,800 pounds of exactly the same materials to me would be $92.20, or $33.40 more than he had to pay. But, accepting his fig- ures as those of his local market, his manure and fertilizer stood him in $115.05. “The total cost of the crop,” he says, “was $139.02.” That is, after deducting the cost of the manure and fertilizers, he allows $23.97 for all oth- er. costs of production. Let's see what he had to aet in the way of labor, etc., with that $23.97— or, more exactly, what I on my north- ern farm would have to get with it First come those forty-five loads of manure. The field must be mighty handy to the manure pile o enable one man_and team to load, draw out .and spread: ten two-horse loads a day. This makes four and a half days of team work. Then it was plowed and subsoiled twice. It would take one man and team a full day, or two men and two teams a half-day, to go over the acre first with surface and then with subsoil plow. This makes two days more of team work. The harrow- ing and marking would call for anoth- er half-day of team work. He doesn't say how many times he cultivates the crop, but it was “as much as the land woild stand” With such fertilization as he gave, necessarily resulting in an exuberant growth of weeds, it is safe to assume that he must have cultivat- ed the acre at least four times, which would call, at lowest estimate, for another full day of team work. This makes eight days of team work. Then he put on five dressings of fertilizer. This had to be taken to the field and applied. If this was all done by hand we must add two days of “hired man” work. Assuming that the ears were broken off at harvest time and drawn in, there would have been, in their unhusked state. about ten tons of them, involving another full day for team and two men. That is, it calls for nine days team work, all together, and three days one-man work to care for and get in the crop The corn man boasts that he has the best and most prolific seed in Amer- 1gast as’ much. cost him $1.50. added to the manure He was certainly very 1t would planning and superv. the cost of getting hi nor 'of possible—with certs olina corn-grower: ha a whole 1ot of expenses w have to bear, or clse nally Jucky in being a without them. which I can trace, the crop, and the extra cost me would have been for least $218. bushels would ha | at the price at which co: here last fall. just $15 less than it had cost! just builaing a man pays a brag. der, and sa you, and I have! any time. “model farminz’; as of “modern methods”; all farmérs to achieve. crop: ing to spehd enough on Ym in it for profit, and ing to. in labor and _fertilizer things.

Wi 1y for- pointment in the Several months ago when it became known that the Grand Trunk rafiroad was to reach tide water through the state of Rhode Island with terminal in the Providence river, New London s Saroused to the_ importance of action to preserve the terminal at this port and to make a specfal effort to huys tie i ralivosd imivany: Sosks e termin: ‘mare importance, W would mean an increase of business for New London. The mayor was author- ized to appoint a committes to tuke the matter up with the Grand Trunk officiais’ and_advocate theincrease of facilities at New London rather than divide the traffic with Providence, with special stress 1aid on the advantages of New London harbor ailways free from ice as against the comparatively narrow route from the Rhode Island city to the ocean, not only as a saver of time and distance, but with far more natural advantages that could be easily made available. Mayor Mahan has undoubtedly ap- pointed that committee and with him- self as chairman, kept close tabs on the move of the Grand Trunk rallway and given the officials o understand that an increase in their business at New London would be appreciated And that every reasonable encouragement would e given them. The mayor lias not. for reasons best known to hia- self, announced the personnel of that important committee, presumably ¢ra- sidering it to be more effective to work with the Tailroad company on the quict than having a show down every time there was a deal. It has been Staied by the mayor that the interests of Nuw London were Deing guarded, so tacre is no occasion for loss of sleep in “hat particular. Perhaps when the tomm: tee makes report it will be divulged that much effective work has bien done for New London and that as a final result that long-looked-for line of foreign steamships will arrive and de- part from the port of New London cn scheduled time as a part of the system of the Grand Trunk railway. It is said further that the entry of the Grand Trunk into Rhode Island w1il in no way affect the present terminal in New Londnn, as there is at present no intention of steamshipping from Providence, and no, promise of that na- ture is made to the general asembly of that state to ald in the granting' of a charter for the Grand Trunk to enter that state. Up fo the present time there has been no organized oppositi m to the granting of the charter and pab- lic sentiment seems to be strongly in favor of a competing line to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road company at Providence. ‘“Boss” Brayton has not yet stated his position, until he does there is no certainty ns to_the action of the general assembly. Presidfient C. M. Hays of the Grand Trunk road has declared that his com:. pany does not go begging for charters, as that would be something novel for that company. The charter has been presented in the Rhode Island gen-ral assembly and the passage of the act is practically demanded, not requested. Mr. Hays says the people of that s‘ate want the Grand Trunk, and therz is wilingness to give the service. lle says he puts a straight business position before the people. The Grand Trunk raillway, he says, is making a ‘bona fire effort to respond to what le believes to be a demand from the ped- ple of the state for a competing. rail- road system. He sald that if Tithod2 Island wants the service, *ths Grand Trunk is ready to give it. th= char- ter is not granted, President Hays says the company will take it as a notice that the service is not wanted and will make no further effort o culer the field. The yachtsmen of the Down Town Reading club and all others directly interested in Improving Shaw's cove as a yacht basin, as well as for commer- are falling over each other, so to speak, to mail lotters of appreciation to Congressman Higgins for his successful efforts in securing an appropriation of $12,000 for the ad- ditional dredging of the cove, which bas filled in of late years so that yachis of deep draft could not winter inerein, which meant a serious loss to the business interests of New London. In the very, very long, long ago, before the birth of the oldest inhabitaht, his- tory says that the waters of the cove were of even more navigable conven- jence than at the present time, and that vessels of considerable draft not only entered the gashouse cove, so- called, or inner cove, but also proceed- ed in’the opposite direction into Coit street, to the point where the Brainard & Armstrong mill No. 2 is now located. In more recent years, within the memory of the man of fifty, Shaw's <cove, with the exception of & narrow hannel to the footbridge and into the gashouse cove, was practically a mud flat, where clams were dug In larze quantities at every low tida and where boys treaded for quahogs in the 500d old summer time. But with the onward march of progress residences and places of business were erected alons the shores of the cove. The in- terest of the general government was interested in the importance. of the cove, harbor linés were _established and by public ana private dredging the cove was gradually converted into a place where laden vessels could enter to discharge cargoes at the newly con- structed wharves, and where large and small yachts could be quartered for the winter and add materially to the ma- Tie and general business affairs of e c With this - new _appropriation the cove will be dredged to an even greater depth than at present in the main channel and the accumulation of mud since the last dredging will be re- moved, which will be & general public advantage, mot only to fhe property owners on the borders of the cove but to the whole people. Congressman Higgins has made himself solid with his constituency in New London by his prziseworthy efforts in their behalf. Here is 4 that would indicatel that the Grand Trunk railway has nog yet changed it original purpose of baving a foreign line of steamships from the port of New London, which is Committes and the peopie of New Lon committee e pe ew Lon- don and the state of Connecticut has ‘Intense interest. President Hays was asked during the t week if the plan to make Provi & terminal would result in transatlantic shipment of grain from the west out of the port of Providence. He said he had as yvet learned littie of the tidewater gondi- tions at ence and would not ven- ture to say more than there Wers pos- sibilities along that lne that had mot yet been worked out. It is Dot so mi ears ago that the @Grand Trunk-people put & tion up te the people of New London which, if it had been accepted, would have re- sulted in the establishment of such a line from New London, and there is still hope that this proposition will be renewed. I¥ it s th-:;_n no doubt of s acceptance. *The city was asked to discontinue the use of Sixth street, Fast New London, at grade 0 build a beidge over the-raflroad tracks i 4 coat of Aout §20,000; also to dis- | City by the Sound : . . continue of another stréet that is crossed by about thirty tracks and which for the reason is but little used.

Perhaps the prettiest feature of baseball, the throwing ond of the game, excites less commemt than' any other branch of the sport. When one carefully codsiders how fast a ball must be handled for the successful completion of any play, it is really wonderful the way the Amer- icans perform on the djamond. Thc precision with which they. gan hurl the baseball under any and all gondi- tions s truly marvelous. One who has never played basebalt cannat fully uppreciate the difficulty gf accurate throwing. .Any one who has ever played baseball and then for some reason drops out of the game fof a year or more can justly appreciate the situatfon, and soon realizes how hard it is to get back to old-time form. Accurate throwing Is a test of the eye, Just as much as the arm. often more R There arc many men- playing Dbaseball today who have strong throw- ing arms, yet are unable to ket goed results, because of their fnabllity to Americans Ha . in- Thi nobly, keeping the section reasonably and morally clean in comparison with the conditions’that formerly existed. The present weelc he became satis— fied that thers was a black and tan joint in operation in Douglass street and he reported the fact to his superior officer, Lieutenant Jeffers, the eflicient officer’ in charge of the’ night force. The result was the issuance of a war- Tant and a raid on the suspected premises, owned Dby the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroa company, and three white end two black females were arrested and ar- raigned in the police court. Some were fined almost to the limit and in the cases of others sentence was suspend- ed on promise to leave New London within twenty-four hours and never return. So that dive is out of exist- ence, and now “LittleBig Tim” and his argus eyes are on the lookout for any others that dare attempt to dash through the breakers of the réform sea while he s on the beach, for he is certainly the biggest pebble in that rocky section. As a successor to the late Bishop Tierney has been named and in the near future will be consecrated to his holy duties, interest is revived among New London Catholics as to who will succeed the late Rev. Thomas P, Joynt as pastor of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea <church, conceded to be one of the most desirable parishes in the Qiocese of Hartford, The Catholies and people of New London generally were to a certain measure satisfied to’let the affairs of the diocese be conducted by the vicar general, and ,perhaps from motives tinged with selfishness, for then it was reasonably sure that Rev. David O'Donnell would be sontinued as acting pastor, as it was not within the province of the vicar general to fill the vacant pastorate by permanent ap- pointment. Father O'Donnell since his ordina- tion about thirteen years ugo has been an_assistant pastor in New Londen, and for several years and during the long sickness of ther Joynt he prac- tically administered the affairs of the parish, and was probably not promot- ed to a pastorate elsewhere by reason of his valuable assistance to Father Joynt, who was Incapacitated by rea- Son of sickness from performing the full duties of pastor. While Father O'Donnell may not be a brilliant pulpit orator, he is & conscientious and de- voted ‘priest and has the genuine re- spect of every member of the parish, and all would be glad to welcome him as pastor of the church. He was with Father Joynt for adbout half of his long pastorate and is therefore thoroughly conversant with the needs wof the parish. In the very mear future extensive improvements are to be made to the ¢hurch edifice, made possible by be- quests in the whls of Sebastian D. Iawrence and Father Joynt, and Fa- ther O’Donnell is especially equipped to carryiout these proposed improve- ments by reason of his thorough knowledge ,of the.needs of the parish and the general wishes of the parish- ioners, and along the lines satisfying to the wishes of the donors of money necessask to make the improvements, and in harmony with the trustees in charge of the funds for the work. Father O'Donnell was born in New Hayven and is sdid to have been_the first young man to graduate from Yale college to become & Catholic priest. By reason of long and faithful service Father O'Dopnell 1s entitled to pro- motion, and to the lay mind he is pe- culiarly fitted to become pastor of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea church in New London.
