 The report is made up Of the returns received from 164 towns in the state, the registrars of four towns failing to report,
 The total number of deaths reported from 164 towns is 1,097, representing an estimated population of S51 ,O40 for these towns, an annual death rate per 1000 of 15,4 per cent.
 In thirty-hve towns of over 5000 pop ulation the total number of deaths were SIT, representing an annual death rate per 1000 of 15.6 In, 129 towns of less than 5000 the total number of deaths was 1,O97, repre- senting an annual death rate per LOGO of 15.4
 In New Haven with an estimated population of 112,0O0 there 1S4 deaths, representing an annual death rate of 1916 per 1000.
 The highest estimated annual death rate per LOGO is for the town of Kill | lingly, 2S.3 per cent. Thirty-three towns reported no deaths
 The deaths for the month were 91 less than in September and II more than the average number of deaths in De- tober for the five years preceding the present
 Deaths under five years of age, 291, | or 26.5 per cent. of the total mortality. Deaths from various diseases were as follows: La Grippe, 3; measles, 6; scar- let fever, 5; cerebro spinal fever IA; diphtheria and croup, 61; Whooping cough, 3; typhoid fever, 24; malarial fever, 15; consumption, Ill; pneumonia 60; bronchitis, 45; nervous diseases, 119; heart disease, 100; accidents and vio- lence, 49; all other diseases, 482.
 The secretary makes the following contribution in his report to the hospi- tai for contagious diseases discussion: 1 ISOLATION HOSPITAL VS. PEST
 HOUSES.
 An Isolation hospital is an institution l for the best treatment of contagious | diseases, and in such manner as to en- | tirely protect the public against any l risk of contagion from the sick In it's care
 A pest house is house in which are patients with contagious diseases, and l where the precautions necessary to public safety are neglected, or by req son of clrcumstancesi impossible; and the house thus becomes a center of infec- ton, from which pestiferous germs may emanate, and by infected things be car- ried to unlimited distances.
 am informed by Clerk Bailey of the l New Haven board of health, that in the month of October there were fifty-nine such pest houses within the city limits. each containing from one to four cases l of scarlet fever or diphtheria Most if not all of these were, truly pest houses, 1 for 1t is the rarest exception where all l the precautions necessary for public protection is possible in private dwell ling. especially If occupied by several families.
 I These private pest houses were scat tered about the city, mostly among the laboring population, in forty-five differ l ent streets.
 Shall New Haven have a hospital or I more pest houses?

CURIOUS FACTS.

Potatoes in Greenland never grow
larger than a marble.
The greatest length of England and
Scotland, north to south, is about Cos
miles.
The offensive weapon of the ostrich
is his leg. He can kick as hard as 4
mule, and it is 4 remarkable fact that
his kick is forward, never backward.
The humming bird, in protecting its
nest, always flies at and pecks the eyes
of its adversary. Crows have been found
totally blind from the hu1nning birds
bill.
Until 1871 there were no shad in Pa
cific waters. In that year a few thou
sand were introduced by the United
States fish commission. Last year the
catch sold for nearly $4,000.
Every guest at a Norwegian wedding
brings the bride a present. In many
parts a key of butter is the usual gift,
and if the marriage takes place in
winter, salted or frozen meat is offered.

DAIRY

Watering is as important as feeding.
Prepare now to winter the best, and
make meat of the rest.

IN good deeds, but in quarts of milk.
Cows which give a large quantity OF

that the smoker ought not to be in the
dairy business.

HINTS.

Dissolve a little salt in the alcohol
that is to be used for sponging cloth
ing, particularly where there are
greasy spots.
A high stool or chair is of great con-
venience in a kitchen, as it enables the
housewife to sit down when doing work
that must be accomplished on a table.
Tomatoes sre almost as useful when
green as when ripe. Green tomatoes
are an excellent vegetable fried. Cut
them into slices half an inch. thick,
sprinkle them with salt and pepper,
dip in egg, and roll in crumbs; they
fry each side until brown.
Fancy pipes with large bowls can be
made very ornamental by filling the
bowls with good earth and setting in
them plants like the little wandering
Jew, or some easily growing, grace
full vines. Hang the pipes by cords or
ribbons from brackets, or on window
frames.
a thermometer intended to be fas
tened upon the oven door is one of the
most useful of articles to the cook.
With this the heat of the oven. can be
determined without opening the door,
end the baking of cakes, buildings and
souffles can be accomplished much
more successfully.

ROADS ARE IMPROVING.

Continued Agitation Is Beginning to Beal
Good Fruit.
From scores of localities in every
corner of the and comes the cheering
message: Our roads are better than
they have BEEN" And the same thing
holds true of town and city streets.
1t is very clear to an intelligent OBJ
server in a position to broadly view
the field that more and better road
building is being done this year than
has been in any past year.
The agitation for improved highways
has begun to produce practical results.
The people are getting their feet on
the ground, and are m~aterializing the
worth of their theories regarding good
roads.
1t is pleasant to note that the people
everywhere appreciate the many ad-
vantages to be gained from improved
highways. Every mile of good road
makes it easier to secure more of The
same sort. The example is contagious.
Even in localities where no work Tor
the betterment of roads has begun,
there has been created n dislike for
mud that will result in its early disap-
pearance.
When the people of a community get
sufficiently tired of poor roads they
mend them. y few wheelmen, if they
are live members of the L. y. W., Il
so point out the disadvantages of mud
that many others will unite with them
in working for good roads and clean
streets.
Everybody wants good roads when
their attention is called to the matter.
With some one to act as a leader they
will follow. Pick out just the right
sort of a man, and put him in charge of
your streets and highways, and he will
make it more of a pleasure and of
greater profit to reside in his neigh
borhood.-L. A. w. Bulletin.

are used as a foundation, it would be
necessary to heavily mulch the ground

THE BERRY INDUSTRY.
Profitable Only Where the Local Market
Is Fairly Good.

Is Fairly Good.
1t is being demonstrated that the
ordinary farmer who has no local
markets for berries cannot make much
money growing them. Shipments to
city markets have been proving very
disappointing, owing to the fact that
many have undertaken to help out
farm incomes by producing from one to
five or more acres of berries, and city
markets are deluged with stock of or
binary quality. Berries must be sent
by express to insure prompt delivery,
and the charges for carriage often ap-
pear eXorbitant. Whether this be true
or not, the charges are out of all pro-
portion to the receipts, and when crates,
boxes and picking are paid foro out OF
the receipts from the commission mer-
chant, not infrequently nothing re-
mains for the grower. Except for eX-
perienced horticulturists, the only safe
market for the berry-grower to-day is
a local one. If there is Il home demand,
or if one can be created in a community
or nearby town. berries pay well; but
beyond this there is in this branch of
horticulture no outlet for the farmer
who wants to get away from staples.-
