A correspondent of the Connecticut Farmer has been taking a carriage drive through this section. This is what he says about the flags on the school houses : "We passed 10 or II school houses, over four of which the stars and stripes were flying. These flags were in the towns of Westport, Easton and Southbury. In Monroe and Newtown no flags were dis played along our route." What is the reason Newtown's schoolhouses are not provided with flags and flag poles, as provided by law:

THE EDITORS FAMILIAR CHAT.
Advertising, says Printers Ink, ia the coupling pin that unites persistence and success.

The summer-boarder crop when right ly harvested, is a very profitable one. There is some danger that the frost of hard times may in some places nip the crop in the bud. But Newtown with it's charming scenery, good hotels and req sonable charges, has pl omise of getting its share of the harvest.
 
 A recent New York law, which is also in force in Pennsylvania, provides that any person who, in any manner, wilful- ly informs the editor, publisher, reporter or other employe of any periodical of news concerning q person or corporation that when printed would become a libel, can be severely punished. Now let Connecticut put similar law on it's statute books.

For hay, COW pea vines should al
ways be cut before the pods are full
grown. A fairly satisfactory way to
cure pea vines Is to cut IN the after
noon when there is n promise of fair
weather. and let the pea vines lie and
wilt until next day after the dew is off
The leaves will then be somewhat
tough and the vines can he put mp in
moderate stacks without losing mnch
foliage. The stacks should be as small
as convenient TO make. and from seven
to nine feet high. These may stand mn
til the vines are thoroughly cured,
when they should be brought together
and housed early IN the morning or on
a cloudy day, without rain, when the
hay is tough enough To bear moving
without loss of leaves. Extract from

skill has proved the main factor in the
surprising improvement in soldierly
qualities and the high state OF dis
cipline which are now characteristic
Of the National Guard of the State. It
would be hard indeed to find a more
picturesque site or one better adapted
for the purpose than the plateau on
which the camp is pitched. Situated
right at the entrance to the gorge OF
the Hudson Highlands, on q fat
topped promontory jutting out from
tho high hills surrounding it on three

shore, the broad river curves, disap-

stretch to the edge of the grassy
plain = ideal drill grounds for any
branch Of the service, horse, foot or
dragons; and the surrounding coun-
try, wooded and hilly, crossed by
winding roads and dotted with clear
ings, offers opportunities for manml-
vres and exercises in minor tactics
Hard work is done at the camp !;
there is but little leisure, and the mi
itiaman's time is fully occupied. At
five O'Clock, with the boom of the
mOTuluS Suu auu VIC SOuOCOuS IOlllIy
of the drums beating reveille, the
camp wakens to thgwor1 of the day,
and the long streets of tents swarm
with men, as at the call for assembly
the companies spring into ranks, and
the monotonous tones Of the sergeants'
voices are heard calling the roll.
Then, as the ranks are broken, the re-
ports are made, and the soldiers scat
ter to make the rough camp toilet and
prepare for the morning drill soon ia
follow. At 7.30 the drums over at the
guard tent rattle "Pease upon q
trencher," and the companies swing
off with measured tread to breakfast in
the mess-hall, from which they return
to police the quarters and place every
thing in order for the daily recurring
inspection. All over the camp the
! men are busy as bees, sweeping, roll
ing up tent walls, making up the beds
removing rubbish, securing cups and
basins, raising tent floors and placing
everything in apple-pie order. -Har.

WHAT Is AN AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
sTATIoN2
It is an institution established TO
benefit agricultural industry
How can it do this
To bear the expense and to conduct
work which will be useful to enter

desire to investigate for themselves
but are prevented 10y expense and lack
of facilities. AT ancNperiment station
are employed scientific and practical
men who, with every facility. devote
their time in investigating agricultural
subjects.
What are these subjects?
How can farming be made to pay:
How can we improve our worn soils at
a minimum expense? How should GER
tain soils be fertilized to yield the best
crop? How can waste products he
saved and utilized? Can new plants
be advantageously grown? The value
grasses for certain soils. The dairy
industry. The value of ensilage. A
study of the diseases and insects af-
fecting crops, and the best methods Il
prevent their ravages. To determine
the best varieties of grasses. fruits,
| and vegetables for the highest mar
kets. These and score of kindred
subjects
How long will it take to reach these
conclusions?
Answers should not be expected in g
| short time. In many cases several sea.
sons of careful work will he necessary
| In the meantime the Station seeks to
which will enable farmers to make ant

Is the North Carolina Station a

from fraud in the sale of fertilizers
In this way it has already saved then
