(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) Just at it the agricultural at- llm" full of talk about lime. center of the disturbance—to use a phrase from the weather bureau —seems to be out in Illinois. Frank Mann, a successful farmer there, and of the republican leader in con- to have an obsession for phosphate, osphate alone is & !onn‘o! osphoric acid or ‘which s just ons of the three elements commonly belleved to be required to make up & complete fertiliser. When you speak of & “phos- phate” you really refer to such ngs as bone or ground pl c rook. If you say “phosphats” and mean ‘fertilizer,” youw're using words ‘wrongly and are liable to be misunder- stood. ‘Well, Frank Man found some years ago that on his rich aluvial Illinois bottom soil he didn’'t need nitrogen. -of mold-making and inundation.

By $his combination he was, theoret- loaily, a rank growth of plaat and & héavy yield of grain. In practice he found that the theory worked out fine. Bo he adopted it and recommend- ed it to his neighbors. As, in addition to being & successful farmer, he is also one of the editors of a widely circulat- ed farm r, his lime-phosphate 1deas Others took them up, and now i¢ would appear as if they ‘were more talked about tuan almost any others in connection with fertilization. ; A friendly correspondent has fiatter- ed me by asking what I think about lime for use here in the east. The fact that one treatment 1s the correct one for an Illinois prairie may suggest the worth-while-ness of ex- for us to do. It may be; and it may not be. Tae only to tell is to find out. And, as “Joe” Allen used to say, the only way certaining. Mo short, study it and work on it as zeal- ously and as patiently as you would lem in etic, bly would be about the worst thing you could use on it. I don't know; nobody knows. The only fellow who ‘can find out and know is you yourself individ- ually end in persoy There’s one consoling thing about .t: Hme, either in the form of waste air- try. You don't need to pay the fer- tilizer trust for it. They used to have a saying down in Pemnsylvania that lime-farming made the fathers rich and the sons poor. meaning of this was that the use ot e, continued year after year and LIME AS A FERTILIZER—OTHER FERTILIZERS on or potash, in addition, darle field has without anything in the way of plant food accompanying it, tended to so stimulate the soil and 56 overdrain it of its natural fertility that it event- ually had nothing left in it to fsed plants with. 1 have no doubt that this would be the exact effect of a continuous free use of lime, without any manure or fertilizer to make up for the fertility which the lime drew out of the soil. it would be a decidedly damphool sort of farming to do that, anyway. But there's nothing inherently wrong in the idea of usii lime to render more readily available the other el ments of fertility which judiclous farming will make sure the soil is sup- plied with, The only question is whether your particular” dirt needs that particular sort of sweetening. That's something every fellow must find out for himself. I've used lime—when I could get jt— for twenty years on my five-acre gar- dens, Not on all parts of them, and on no two parts in the same propor- tions and combinations, I'm thankfuy that the new lime fad has stimulated the production of the stuff se 1 can now get it cheaper and easier than I used But, when I use it, I know exactly ‘what crop I am going to plant, what previous experience has shown the soil to have natural capacity for, and what repeated tests have indicated as to its need for either nitrogen or phospherus If nitrogen is d for I use stable manure whea I can get it, clover sod plowed under when I have time, nitrate of soda when I can't do better. If phosphorus is in- dicated, I find that ground phosphats rock, usually called “acid phosphate,” is about the best thing I can get. Iif the soil diagnosis reports a shortage of potash, I use unleached ashes 8o far as I can get them, potash®salts as a last resort, But, In that little five acres of garden, I've got at least a dozen va- rieties of soil, and I make at least a dozen different combinations, each season, to fit their needs. The longer I garden, the more sorts I'm mixing up. Instead of the years simplifying the problem, experience seems to compiicate it. For instance, my tomato garden lies low. One side borders on a little ‘brook and the soil near it is not only wet, it is sour and black. On that side I use no stable manure, just a heavy dressing of fine-ground lime- stone and acid phosphate. As the land rises from the brook It becomes drier and tends to be gravelly. On that side I plow in stable manure and harrow in a light dressing of lime, ‘with a little phosphate and potash mixed with it. Later, I cultivate in more phosphate all over the patch. If I put a lot of nitrogenous stabio manure on the moist side, I'd get a lot of vines and no fruit. If I put just lime and phosphate on the dry side, T'd get mighty small vines, and mighty small tomatoes,—and very few of them. For another instance, that sweet- corn patch on which I've grown corn for twelve or fifteen consecutive years, Ordinarily, I've covered it with straw-y meanure a foot deep to plow under. This year I hadn't much of that sort and couldn’t buy, beg or steal any. So I put on what I had,—about half & normal dressing, and then, after plowing, harrowed in two tons of ground lime to the acre. You See, the had a tremendous amount of stable manure put on it, year after year. Bvery farmer undersiands that this tends to “sour” the soil. I am hoping that the heavy dressing of lime added this spring will hef to correct that. Furthermore, I am hop- ing that it will tend to release for the use of the corn rootlets some of the humus-stored fertility left over from past years’ manuring, so that this Year's corn can use it When a man Is sick with typhoid fever, he doesn't need the same sort of medicines as he would if he had rheumatism. No_ doctor would think of curing every form of ailment with one medicine. He makes, the drug fit the disease. 5 There is no one form of fertilization which is the best for all soils, every- where, or all crops, any season. The good doctor diets and doses his patients according to what his diagosis indicates that their trouble calls for. The wise farmer will feed and dose his dirt in just the'same way,—accord- ing to what it lacks and needs.

Alderman Alton T. Miner at the meeting of the court of common ocouncit last week stated tnat he regretted that the ward system prevailed in New London, and the popular response to tnat sentiment is, 8o we all of us But Just what prompted the saying is not quite plain as tne words wers uttered auring the aebate on the proposition to deed to the state for terminal pur poses the water front of Riversi park, tobe used In Connection with tne state pier development, and just after pposition’ were made by remarks in o, Aldermen Gragan and Drea, Mr. Mia- er's assoclates from the birst ward. It certainly was not intsnded as an the other two aldermen, the only ones ‘who apenly opposed tne proposition, which prevailed and will be decided in city meeting, This ward system was adopted betore Mr, Miner became ac- tive in the political life of the city, so he is in Do Wey respensible for its rd plan men have been | who would not stand the test if their election depend- ed upon the vote of the whole eity, There have been men in the coun:il who have been as pliable as soft putty and who did not have sufficient stam- ina for imdependent action, but were led by the collar by whoever happensd to be at the other end of the lea. Men who had no regard for the inter- ests of the people, or any part thereJf, but were ever to serve their political master, and turn the grind- stone to sharpen his tools and cut the tig that should bind, in order to make himself solid with corporations and for his personal advancement. Such conditions existed In the early days of the ward system and in con- sequence some public service corpora- tions are enjoying privileges that would not be tolerated in many other cities. There are men who have served in the city government without credit to themselves or the wards that they were supposed to properly represent and had little part in advancing the Dest interests of the city and the citizens thereof. Fortunately such condition does not exist in the present city government, which is composed of gentlemen of honor and integrity and who are ever alert to see to'it that all the citizens get a square deal on all matters In which- they are interested. There is not a man among them that wears a collar, not one but has the courage of his convictions and has no fear in giving expression, not one but wno devotes himself to the advancement of the city and the protection of the cit- izens. There are no putty men in the present court of common council, but men of brains and who act fearlessly in what they believe to be right and are not swayed by the influence of any ‘being fully competent to judge for themselves and act accordingly. It is well that this is so and the people have confidence in their representa- tives in the city government. "It was not always thus. It is therefore pre- sumed that when Mr. Miner declared himself as against the ward tem ho did not intend to cast reflection upon any of associates in the present council, It may bs that the ward sys- tem will, like pure wine, improve with ! age. The destruction of the Montauk Avenue Baptist church by fire Thurs- day morning, due to defective slectric light wiring, 1s not the first of the kind in this city, and, perhaps, it is about time that something be done to guard against fires of this nature in the future. Although it 1s known that it 1s impossible to have perfect pro- tection as no automatic or other mod- ern safeguard is thoroughly reliabl any more than is any other plece of machinery, which is lable to fail and at a tme when fatality is llable tc result, or property loss. Ever since Mr, Jenny introduced the electric light- ing system in New London, and that was some years ago, there has been no official supervision of electric wiring, whether for light or power, and it would seem as if the time had about arrived when all wiring should be subjected to rigid inspection. For years the city has had an inspector of plumbing and all work must be sub- ject to his inspection and satisfaction. This is in the interest of public health and as a result the general sanitary conditions of the city are fully up to the standard of any other city in the state. -~ The electrio light and power lines, unless properly protected, carry with them death and destruction to prop- orty, and the element of danger could be decreased by close and thorough inspection by a competent official in- spector, clothed with authority equal to that of the plumbing inspector. In this connection just & little bit of at- tention ought to be given to the daa- gerous conditions that the publie streets are left after the laying of gas pipes, the work being done without city inspection. Seems to me that some time ago there was a rule, irsn cladin away, that parties digging the streets for such purpose were required to put the street back in a8 good shape as it was before the work was com- menced, That rule while ignored has never been abrogated. Last winter gas main was laid across Ocean av- uUe from an intersecting Street aad today there is quite a gulley across the avenue at that point. Aotomobiles go bounding over this serious defect in the highway and in several in- stances there has been narrow escape ?mn damage and perhaps bodily in- ury. 1* One day this week & stranger drive ing an sutomobile who had no knowl- iedge of the defect came near dis- aster. When the machine struck the gulley and bounded, the driver lost control of the steering wheel for a moment and but for hla quick action in getting a tight hold on the wheal the automobile would have crashed into the curbing. In that event a suit in damage might result atd the city tmna be respongible. Therefore it is p to the city to see to it that the de- fect is remedied and at the expense of the corporation that caused the de- | fect. There may be like defective highways in other sections of the city that should receive prompt attention. Police Captain George Haven, seems { to haye heen selected as the target for a local newspaper and he is ed to . taslc beoansa ha asas fit to retirs at an jmplication against the judgment of | early hour after his regular tour of duty instead of hobnobbing about the city and he does mnot maxe public any change he may have under consideration as to the change in his routine work. He is accused of beiug responsible for theé absence of a po- lice signal service and for not having the patrolmen cover more territury and for permitting officers taking their annual vacations and for almost everything else on the calendar, re- gardless of his real responsibility, which is confined to small Mmits by the action of the police committes of the court of common council who !n- sist on managing the police depart- ment in all its details, As a matter of fact the captain is attacked without the slightest real justification, and every fair-minded citizen in New Lon- don knows it. It may not be known to all that a committee in charge of the police department installed a good-for-nothing police signal service several and that later an years ago appropriation was made for an up-to- date service. That appropriation was not used for the purpose and the ecap- tain no more to do with that ac- tien than did his present captious eritics, Perhaps the captain has de- olined to permit the secret book kept in the pelice station to become pubilo to the newsgathers, or something of that sort, hence the adverse criticiam of a competent and experienced police officlal | Strange how strangers in a strange land unearth so_ many matters th: they know not of and attempt to ha things doné in the place of their adop- tion just as in the place they left be- hind them. There was a young fellow named Jones who came from Wor- cester to New London, some years ago, and secured work on a loal newspaper. He liked the work and he was satisfled with the pay, but, stranse to relate, he did not like New London. One night he stepped un to the desk and said: “Bay, if a man does mot like a city he ought to puil out of it so I gues I will pull out” And he did. becoming a city of bili boards and with mushroom rapid- ity but of more enduring material Bvery open space in the city is being sought by the promoters Who are pay- ing fancy prices for rentals and the result is a general difigurement of tne whole city. There are bill boards iu the business and residential sections and even on the housetops and there does not seem to be any check to the progress of the bill board nuisance. In many instances they tend to de- preciate the value of property in their vicinity and cases are known whers bill boards are erected not only for the money there is in them for the fellow who owns the property on which they are located but to force his neighbor to sell or buy out the other fellow, practically the equiva- lent of the spite fence. There are other forms where . owner of the property leases property supposed to be in the pos- session of tenants for bill board pur- ses. Some owne: of desirable building lots on business and Tesi- dential streets take advantage of the chance to lease land for bill boards and thereby get enough cash to pay the taxes and interest on the proper- ties, so that they can be held without cost to the owners for a rise in the Teal estaty mark: At the last session of the - ture thers was an act em: tina from the New London Municipal Art society presented, referred to a com- mittee, a hearing ordered, but was never acted upon with favor, and perhaps owing to the laxity of the parties who fathered the bill. There does not seem to be any state law that revents the erection of these bill oards, even If the old wooden affal's have been superseded by the shect iron ones with some attempt at orna- mentation. While it is conceded that these bill boards are a public disfig- urement and in many Instances co.- founded nuisances, they are just the same, quite a source cf income to the owners of property whereon they are located. In other words they increase the value of the property to the own- ers and it is therefore but fair that there should be increased assessment of valuation in these cases. For the amount expended, these bill boards bring more return to the owners of property where they are located, than would the rental of a modern dwelling house. It is therefore more profitable to rent land for bill boards than to erect tenement houses so far as the land owners are concerned, but the city as a whole is the loser in the matter of taxes. It is ied that property owners have the ht to build as they please on their own property, which may be true in some cases, but they shou.d be taxed for what they bulld. It is a question whether it is not violation of law to erect these b s within the fire limits, or In any other part of the city, for that matter, without first getting permission from the court of common council, as is the case when a new bullding is to be erected, or when repairs or additions are to be made to existing bulldings. Under the law, not even a veranda. can be added to a house without the permit is glven by the council. It is time there was something done to curb this bill board evil.
