Mercer leland Tract Good for Tim Der
worthless for Agriculture.

Mercer leland Tract Good for Timber,
Worthless for Agrieaitur
The general land Office has sustained
the decision of the local Office that q trac,
on Mercer island was properly entered as
timber land by John W. Thomson. The
tract was purchased April 81. 1854. under
the act of June 3. 1878, and thereafter sold
by Thomson TO E. 6. Ames May %. 1854.
for $555. In 1856 the entry Was held for
cancellation upon the report of a special
agent to the effect that the land had on it
. sparse growth of inferior timber and
that the soil was we'll suited for agri-
culture
the charge OF the agent was sustained, and
an appeal being taken 10 the general land
office the decision of the local Office was
affirmed. The case was then sent 10 the
department on appeal. which. June Il.
1898, directed the general land Office to re-
mand il fo- rehearing. Five witnesses were
examined for the government and eight
for Ames, and nine of them gave testi-
mony favorable to the entry, showing that
in May, 1894. there was about .. 00o. 900 feet
OF second-class board timber and from 400
TO 500 piles on the land, and that the soil,
40 acres of which were badly broken by
raviues and billy pitches, was worth little
for agriculture. Ames gained the decision
on the rehearing. and his title has been
confirmed by the general land office. The
tract consists of lots and 2, the northwest
quarter of the northeast quarter and the

Farmers and the Apples.

Connecticut farmers will do well to bear in mind the constantly increasing demand for American apples abroad. As crop it is found to pay we'll Con- necticut is still an apple growing state, but some say it falls behind it's old record. A Boston dispatch says on the apple exportation subject: The large shipments of apples from this port to the European market still continue. There were shipped last week to Liver pool, London and Glasgow, 47,272 bar rels, which is only a slight decrease from the amount shipped the week pre- ceding, which was the largest number ever shipped from this port. The price on the. continent for the fruit ranges from s25o to s3.50 per barrel, according to the quality, while here the price ranges from $1.4O to $1.S0 per barrel. This means clear profit of about fifty cents per barrel to the exporters after the freight and other expenses are paid. In the export of these apples Boston is away in advance of New York, the shipments from that city be- ing only 15.046 barrels for last week, or 32,226 less than Boston for the same period.

A Valuable Improvement.

Stevens Brothers, who conduct a large quarry business near Bucks cor ner, in the eastern part of Glastonbury, have just completed, at their own ex- pense, a new layout for the main road. which now runs over heavy grade, just west of the corner, and have built a road that is but i've rods further. By the town accepting their road they will avoid a l1ill that has been great trou- lble to horses. The object of the Ste vens Brothers Is to take the old road and quarry 1t. To pay for 1t they have laid out, by the permission of the town, this road, which cost them nearly four hundred dollars. It has a solid rock bed and is finished with fine stone 50 as to make it macadam road. The select men will look over the new road and if accepted Stevens Brothers will begin at once to quarry theload road

When the gate closes for the down passenger train n few minutes after 2 o'clock at night, at the Center street crossing, there is nothing left for the gate-tender 10 do but send the gates back in position after the train passes and then lock up his little shanty and go home. His days work Is done. How many teams and the number on foot which he has warned by the drop ping of the gate. of approaching trains one would know only by counting or guessing, but his position is an im- portant one, and 1t Is a good thing the gate was put there to make travel across the tracks safe. There are two other crossings where a signal if not gates should be placed. One, that Of Mill street, and the other that of Safe ty avenue
 A pleasant way to get to Hartford from here Is to drive to Pennington and then take the electric lino from that place.
 The New York state system of mak- fng roads. by which each farmer gives up so much of his time each year to work on the highway. may have its faults and 1t undoubtedly has. as the business can be done better by actual road-makers, but still 1t would seem that farmers here in Connecticut could by weeks work early in November put the roads in fine shape. This could be done under the nominal direction Of the selectmen.
 The little lake owned by the South ington Fish and Game club, situated half mile eas. of the center on Wood- ruff street, is looking its bes. and can be seen to good advantage from the road. The water gives back good picture of trees which grow on its bank.
 Friend Barnes house, southeast of the town center, near the Merlden road, has been newly shingled.
 Two fine looking houses are being put up immediately north of the Plantsville graded school. One is owned by MT. Marcellus, the other by Mr. Wolcott.
 T. H. McKenzie's house on Berlin av- enue, which is being remodeled, pre- sents a fine front, and when finished will look as we'll as most any of the nice houses put up here in recent years.
 About mile east of the post-office there is a modern dwelling house loca- ted at the corner of two country roads which would and does attract the at tention of passer-by. The house is the summer residence of Dr. Greene. of New York, and the grounds are being improved each year. So well kept and so neat are the surroundings Of this house that the road-men have seen fit to make the roads in front of the house better than in any other place along their entire length A large open lot to the east of the grounds has been put in shape the past season, and but for a wire fence this lot would be part of the grounds, and would set them off to good advantage. The beauty of this house, in it's appear arce and its grounds, shows that peo- ple who have money and want sites for summer homes can find handsome places to carry out their plans by se- lecting natural sites along our coun- try roads where but little grading IS required. In the neighborhood where Dr. Greene's house is there is suitable land and enough of it for a score of large country houses. He has stable and a garden, and spends the summer here together with his family.
