A PROMISING PLAN.

Australia is progressive country. She
was the first to adopt secret ballot and
simple system of transferring land, and
problem in way that will be watched
with deep interest. In New South Wales q
commission devised plan for
settling contests between capital and labor.
It was recommended that board of con-
ciliation and arbitration be established.
For the purpose of conciiation there was
to be added to nucleus of permanent
membership number of persons selected
with special reference to the subject under
consideration. Should efforts at concilia-
tion fail, then the board would be ready to
assume Its function of arbitration, for
which purpose 1t would consist of its per-
manent members only. Arbitration was
not to be forced npon disputing parties
should there be no Call for 1t; but If re-
quested by either party, although not de-
sired by the other, 1t was to become
compulsory. Acceptance Of the decision,
however, was not to be made compulsory,
for Il was recognized that there was no
practicable way to enforce such acceptance.
An employer could not be required to car

Tobacco and Rum.

1t has been ascsrtsined that the use of
tobacco ia the cause of no less than seventy
different diseases. Il is the hsrbinger of
the whole list of nervous affections. 1t
has also been observed in come of our
schools and colleges that non smokers take
the highest rank in every grade. No dew
otee of tobacco has ever graduated from
the head of his class at Harvard for fifty
years.
A Nebraska farmer sat down the other
day and figured out what could be made
from bushel of corn and here is his ver-
dict: "a bushel of corn can be made to
produce four gallons of whisky, which
when made ripe by the rapid process will
sell for four dollars per gallon, amounting
to sixteen dollars for four gallons. OF this
sixteen dollars the farmer gets twenty Eve
cents, the government two dollars, the
manufacturer four dollars, the vendor ak
dollars and twenty five cents, the user gets

FOR CONGRESSMAN.

FOR CONGRESSMAN.
1t strikes ne, after as careful a review of
the situation as we are able to make, that
the very best thing the Republicans of the
Second congressional district can do is to
ask the Hon. Stephen W. Kellogg of Wa
terbury to run against the Hon. James P.
Pigott of New Haven. We do not know
that Mr.. Kellogg would take the nomina-
ton, but we think it probable that he
would if it were the general desire that he
should.
There will be no difficulty in getting a
candidate this year, but unusual pains
should be taken to select the strongest one.
And We mean no disparagement of others
who have been mentioned" when we say
that Mr.. Kellogg most completely 'flls
the BILL" He is a lawyer of fine attain
ments and successful practice. He has the
excellent gift of common sense. He is
one of the people and thoroughly believes
in the people. He is shrewd, genial and
friendly. He has had large and unusu-
ally successful experience in public life.
He served this district three terms in
congress, and everybody who knows
about such matters knows that it was
never better servsd. He spoke in the
house when necessary, with great skill and
effectiveness, and he was emphatically a
working member. No constituent of his
who needed his services ever failed to COM
mand his best efforts. He was always ao-
cessible, always ready to do all he could
for anybody, and was tireless in looking
after the interests of his district. Con-
necticut has never had more Jealous and
faithful and efficient congressman.
Nobody questions Mr.. Kellogg's excep-
tional fitness for the work congressman
has to do. His record is all that could be
desired. And there are some special rea-
sons why he should be asked to run at this
time. He is thorough and enthusiastic
with the principles of protection, but with
the details of protection as applied to Con-
necticut's industries. The manufacturers
and workingmen of the state would have
in him strong and intelligent supporter
and guard of their interests. This district
especially needs such man in congress.
It doesn't want man nominated on the
platform "Protection is fraud" Another
thing to be considered is the fact that Mr..
Kellogg has always taken well with the
voters of the district. He has always drawn
big vote, and as his popularity has
increased rather than diminished, he
would be a very hopeful candidate to
nominate. Then, too, his nomina-
ton would not leave any stings in his
own party, whose members would be glad
of chance to show how they respect and
honor the old standard bearer who has led
them to victory in several contests. What
the feeling toward him is is well illustrated
by the letter of Colonel Doherty, who, while
declining to be a candidate himself, says
that Waterbury wants to see Mr.. Kellogg
nominated.
If Mr.. Kellogg will consent we can have
q candidate of exceptional qualifications,
ample experience, proved fitness and nota-
bic success as vote -getter. Can we do any
better?

Disinrectanr. and Their Use.

The following circular concerning disin-
fectants and their use has been prepared
by the health board for distribution:

a. Corrosive Sublimate Solution-This
solution is made by dissolving eight grains
of corrosive sublimate (bichloride of mer-
cury) in pint of water, and IL used for
disinfectipg the discharges from persons
sick with cholera and other diseases. As
this solution is q dangerous poison, 1t
should be prepared and used under the di-
rection of physician and chemist

g. Fumigstion with sulphur is the most
practicable method for disinfecting the
house. For this purpose, the rooms to be
disinfected must be vacated. Heavy cloth

which cannot be treated with zinc solution
should be opened and exposed during fu-
migation, as directed below Close the
rooms as tightly as possible, place the sui
pnur In iron pans supported upon bricks

Improving the Farm.


The owners of moderate-sized farms NAV
add to their wealth in several ways. They
may occasionally rsise heavy crops dispose
of them at good prices, and it they have
the money to spare, deposit the surplus in
the savings bank. Others prefer to apply
their accumulated funds in adding to the
value of their land. There are two waysin
which this is done. Fertilizers are applied
to certain crops for special purposes, with
the view of obtaining large crops in partio-
ular cases or for the year, but no regular
system is adopted. The improvements are
made at random; but in this way the own
er is often successful Better than this is
q system of permanent improvement, that
shsll add to tie farmers real capita, and IL
his unimproved fsrmis worth Ave thousand
to-day, 1t may be increased to six or seven
thousand in the next Eve years, and to at
least ten thousand In the course of ten or
twenty years.
The great point is to aim at permanent
improvement, instead of mere temporary
advantage. If this improvement pays for
itself in its progress, and gives q surplus,
no objection can be made to il. Among
the different modes by which q perpetual
gain can be effected, the one which is es-
pecislly PROMINENT is understanding, wher-
ever it is needed 1t not only gives imme-
diste return, but will still produce its ben
ehcial effects twenty years heDc-. In
stances hsve not been unusual where the
hrstthree crops from the drained land have
been sufficiently augmented to pay for the
entire work. Others have divided their
farms into ten parts, and BY draining q
tenth each year, have easily met the ex-
pense; and each augmented tenth has in
successive years met the whole cost, until
the whole farm was brought under the pay
ing system.
1t is hardly necessary to speak of the diff
ferent modes of enrichipg the land, and in
this way adding to the owners wealth. A
regular rotation, with an unchanging course
of succession in crops, gressly facilitates
keeping the land in good tillsble order, ,snd
In preventing the spread of weeds. This
rotation should embrace q crop of clover
to be turned under, st least once in every
four years, as an efficient fertilizer. This
enriching should not be casual or unoer-
tain, but as uniform as the raising of any
other crop. 1t will thus bring the land in
to richer condition, and in connection
with other manuripg will give in place of
the thirty bushels of corn to the acre not
less than seventy-fye bushels IN the course
of few yeArs.
The domestic animals which thesa Aup-
mented crops will feed, increase and inn
prove will add to the manure produced on
the farm, and there will be n mutual action
and reaction In giving more animals and
more to feed them.
