 This is the time when the cider mill Is at work In the land. It may De stated that grapes can be raised Tn thls state for wine as well as in California. The number of Idle men who could be put to work on farms where but little Is done may be counted as reaching into the hundreds. It may be wisdom on the part of the state some time Tn the future to buy up land and work 1t through experienced men. People who cannot readily find employment In the shops would like to have our farm- CTS branch out into new lines Of farm- ing. This can be done in towns In Connecticut to help to supply the Bos- ton and New York markets and also the markets of the cities of this state.

 According to the Hartford Post baby carriages are permitted on the side walks of the borough of Southington, but the carriage must be expressly made for the purpose for which 1t is used. The Post simply quotes a sec tion of the branch bylaws and the question whether baby in pony ex- press would be allowed on the side walk is not touched upon, but accord ing to the letter of the law the express wagon and the baby would not be al lowed on any of our sidewalks. The question has not come up for decision, but it is confidently believed that a bright-eyed little baby in a small paint ed express wagon could be drawn over the side walks on any of our streets without being molested or being liable to a fine and imprisonment or both. We do not believe that any amendment to the borough bylaws will have to be made to cover this point, as the spirit and meaning of the bylaw would let the little child sit comfortably on a we'll cushioned seat in any toy express wagon whatsoever, no matter who the maker of the express wagon may be.
 The firemen's annual parade will take place on Saturday, October 13. Let the people of the town take especial pains to aid in making this an interesting event.
