Postmasters' Salaries.
The adjustment of the salaries of the post
masters in Connecticut has been completed
by the Postofice department. By law this
work has to be done every two years. Con-
necticut has 459 postofices, of which num-
Der fifty-one are presidential offices. When
a postof6ce has sufficient receipts to justify
the payment of one thousand dollars salary
the postmaster is nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Senate, and
this leads to the title given such Offices. The
Offices of the fourth class include all be-
low the Thousand dollar standard The
presidential Offices are divided into three
classes The first class receive three thou
sand dollars year or over the second from,
two thousand to three; and the third from
one thousand to two thousand dollars. In Con
necticut there are three Offices of the first
class-Bridgeport, $4,000 salary; Hartford,
So, 500, and New Haven, $3, 100. The salary
that has made the biggest jump is that al
Stonington, which gains six hundred dol
lars a year. Following IS Ansonia with 6
gain of $4OO. The only Office which
suffered a reduction is Birmingham
and it loses one hundred dollars. Two new
presidential Office have been created within the
past few days, New Hartford, at $1,000, ane
Westport, ST. 900. There are thirteen seconc
class offices The salaries of some of the offices
in this vicinity are as follows: Ansonia, 81,

He Got a Seat.


Ii was in a Third avenue, New York
car, and il was very much crowded A
good natured son Of Erin had bearded the
car near City Hall, but was too late TO get
a seat. He carried tin dinner pail and
wore the dress of a hard-working man.
There was a humorous twinkle in his eye,
but it was plain to be seen that he was tired.
He hung on to strap near the door IN a
commanding position. where he would be
sure to see the hrss vacant seat Not a
single passenger gut out until Houston street
was reached Then there was a momenta-
" glimpse Of vacant seal, but Il was filed

Green Oats for Fodder.

W. A. Armstrong. Of Elmira, writes as
follows in the New York Tribune Il have
fed many crops cut when the grain was
nearly full, period indicated to the eye by
the gray appearance Of the field. At this
stage there is almost completed growth; but
the ripening process has not begun. The
sap is ia the stalks aud the heads almost
formed. After whiting in the swath a few
hours in good weather longer time in poor
weather for curing, the osts are bound in
sheaves Of moderate size and at once set up
two by two in shocks, where they are left
until dry enough to draw in, the degree Of
curling dependent somewhat ON the eondi-
tions Of storage. II the sheayes are TO be
put on scaffolds and cot packed to great
depth, little care need be taken to secure
thorough curing IA the field Now, as to
value, must say that pats 50 gathered are
worth more for feeding mich cows than
the best hay, If made part Of the daily
supply. have never fed exclusively on
oats. Cows in milk and doing well ON good
hay viii at once show increased yield when
given a suitable allowance Of oats, cut green
and used in the way described, and they
win eat all the straw as cleanly as they con
sumo the best hay. The fodder is also good
for horses, better than ripe oats for horses
not steadily employed, for they keep the
coat good and digestion unimpaired

Asparagus and Rhubarb.

1t is a good time to make a new bed Of
either Of these delicious vegetables in the
fail. If the ground should freeze before
these suggestions can be used, they viii be
equally useful in spring. The custom is to
plant these roots much too closely espe-
cially Is this The case with asparagus, which
has very large and long fbrous roots if
they are planted three feet by one foot, as
is common, they soon I'll the land with such
crowded mat of roots that the sprouts come
much smaller than they would if they had
more room; this increases the labor of cut
ting and punching, and diminishes the val
ne in market Some planters set their
asparagus FIVE feet BY three, and claim that
this Is close enough for the best results;
perhaps this may be carrying the matter to
the opposite extreme, and am inclined to
believe that four feet by two, viii be found
about the best distance both for rhubarb
and asparagus. This gives ample room for
running the small plough between the rows
without damage to the crowns, and proba-
bly, they win produce larger amount Of
salable crops when given this distance than
when planted closer.
The secret of producing the enormous
stems Of asparagus that are seen at our
horticultural fairs, lies in generous culture
with plenty Of room and plenty of manure,
combined with good seed the seed has
less to do with it, however, than many sup
