MANY farmers know, perhaps all of them know, that land once seeded down to grass will not always continue productive, even if literally top-dressed. The short hay crops of late years are not so entirely chargeable to the dryness of the summer season and coldness of the winter. Farm CTS are getting to rely too fully on their hay crop, and do not consider grain rais- ing profitable, and so do not put sufficient thought on the matter that the old turf needs occasional breaking up and re-seed- ing, the profit coming in larger cuttings of hay, to make up for the meager compen- sation found in the grain yield There has got to be considerable done in tearing up the old root bound sods of our moving lots before we can stop the importation ot baled hay from Canada Thousands of dollars went to the dominion last winter that our own farmers ought to have cor rolled. And this experience will be re- peated on larger or smaller scale every season until the moving lots of eastern Connecticut get better cultivation.

 It will be seen by the following letter from the Rev. Charles Pike of Waterbury, Conn. that men oftentimes representing the highest calings are brought by disease and sickness to level with all classes. Medical and pro- fessional men generally dislike to countenance proprietary medicines except in extreme cases However, the case of MT. Pike is an exception to the general rule. He believes it duty to suffering humanity to publish to all the world the merits of good article as we'll as to in- struct few spiritually.
 The following is an open letter of a recent date, and speaks for itself:
 regard it duty as we'll as privilege to give my testimony in support of so valuable an article as Hunts Remedy. have used it with great satisfaction, and consider it the very best medicine in use. am fifty-seven (5D years of age, and though native of Bos- ton, have spent many years in the South and a number in Connecticut. From the nature of my calling am constantly changing about. Two years ago contracted weakness of the kidneys, which was apparently made worse by drinking the water in the different places where resided. For long time suffered severely, and used many ''so called" cures, but none of them did me particle of good. Finally purchased bottle of Hunts Rem edy of MT. Laker, the druggist, with the guarantee that it would help me, as it after wards proved. It is now my purpose to speak well of medicine that has yielded re- suits so gratifying to me. I sincerely believe that any one who will use it will endorse my statement. propose to express myself hon. sstly. Gratefully yours,

The most enthusiastic circus-goer in this country is John Clancy, convict in the Michigan penitentiary at Jackson. He said beforehand that he should go to the show, and when it came along the other day suddenly disappeared and could no- where be found. Nobody dreamed that he had got out and search was only made in the yard, but late at night the door-bell rang and in walked Clancy, full of glories of the sawdust ring and apologizing for be- ing out so late by saying he "wanted to stay and hear the concert" He is SUD- posed to have got out by secrsting him. self in wagon, and returned because it would be easier to serve out the sentence than to get out of the state. But he said the show was so good that the sight paid for all his trouble.

ARRANGEMENTS are completed for the formation of an EASTERN CONNECTICUT TRoTT1NG CIRCUIT, to comprise the agri- cultural societies holding fairs at Stafford Springs, Willimantic and Norwich. The plan is to have the trotting classes nearly the same at all these fairs, and to hold them on three successive weeks the dates be- ing for Norwich Sept. 25th, 26th and 27th, for Willimantic Oct. 2d, 3d and 4th, and for Stafford Springs Oct. 10th and 11th. The premiums for trotting alone at the three fairs will be about 8, 600, Stafford Springs besides having running classes. The advantages to the three societies is in securing DO conflict of dates, and the fol- lowing of the entries of horses and of oth- CT fair attractions from one to the other in course, and thereby common interest in advertising and otherwise cooperating to- gether. Entries to the trotting classes of the entire circuit of all these fairs will close on Thursday, Sept 20th.

 ''That any surplus in the public treasury arising from redundant revenue should, af. ter paying the national debt as fast as its con. dition permits, be distributed from time tc time to time, to the several states upon the basis of population, to relieve them from the burdens of local taxation and provide means for the education of the people,"

A law student is reported to have been laughed out of Lafayette, Ind, because detected in the act of airing his eloquence to his fathers wood-pile. As if there were anything to be ashamed of in this sort of practice, or man could be perfect in any gift without exercising it. Henry M. Brackenbridge, in his very interesting "Recollections, mentions the fact that when he first came to the bar in Balti- more, in 1908 and succeeding years, it was his custom to cross over to "Whetstone Point" (the busiest part of Locust Point to-day), and there exercise himself in dec lamation under the shelter of some tall hedgerows. One day, as he was entering his bosky dell, he, found some one speak ing in advance of him, and, approaching with precautions. found the great William Pinkney rehearsing with care every point, sentence and gesture of speech which, next day, he delivered in court as i'm promptu. Pinkney was at this time in the zenith of his fame-the only American lawyer with an European reputation-and he owed his great distinction to his assidu- uous labor and practice.

In fact, her attachment to him seems to have been form of insanity, it being be- ieved by some that she went so far as to look upon him as in some way a spirit ual successor to her deceased husband.

THERE is great deal of alarm over the appearance of cholera in the east, in view of the uniformly regular and resistless course of that epidemic to the east. Es- pecially is the shipment of rags from Egypt to the paper mills of this country awaken ing discussion. The rags are foul and dis ease breeding at the best, and when laden with cholera spores doubly objectionable. Experience has shown that general cleansing and fumigation of our cities does much to tighten the visitation of the dis ease, in fact has at times nearly disarmed it of it's terrors. Therefore our great cities and seaside towns should clean up.
