Immediately left his forge and was one of the
first to respond.
En1isting IN Co. k, Ninety-fourth New
York Volunteers, he participated IN many
fierce battles, escaping death In innumer-
able instances.
The conflicts which ne encountered in
war were nothing, as compared with his
conflict with disease since.
The hardships of army life left him a
physical wreck.
Sciatic rheumatism developed.
For years he doctored and spent hun-
dreds of dollars without obtaining relief.
Three years ago his limbs became para
lyzed and he was unable to walk.
He got about only by dragging himself
from place to place by his arms.
1t was no trick to run a common darning
needle into the muscles of his limbs with
out feeling the slightest sensation.
Physicians gave him no relief.
He believed that he woG1d never be any
thing but hopeless invalid.

TRAVELLING FACILITIES IN THE EARLY
DAYS.
Changes in travelling and mail in the
last so years have been very great. AL
though Redding has lost in population
and business, travelling and mail facili-
ties have continually been on the in
crease. In 1929 and 80 the Newtown and
Norwalk turnpike was built and sta ge
line established by Charles Patrick If
Norwalk, which was run until the Hous-
atomic road was built, and was well pat
ronized by Newtown and Redding peo-
pie. The sta ges were run in connection
with steamboats, at Old Well, now South
Norwalk. Change of horses was made
at Redding Ridge, where Il. S. Osborne
now lives. Another stage line ran on
the Norwalk and Danbury turnpike on
the west side, changing horses at Oar
ling's, where Ell Osborne now lives.
Those two stage lines done good bust
ness. Earlier stages were run o. the
Saugatuck and Danbury turnpike. These
three turnpikes were largely used for
hauling goods from the shore towns to
the back towns. All the freight for Dam
bury, Bethel and part of Newtown went
this way, but when the Housatonic road
was built and the stages were hauled off,
DanOufy SolDg toAuaWAeyVllIe unGll tne
Danbury and Norwalk road was built,
then the turnpikes were given up and toll
gates abolished, great relief to all.
There was three postt ftiees in town (now
four) one at the Center, Redding Ridge
and one at Little Boston. The latter re-
ceived mail every day by stage, 1.-THE other
two only twice week. A Mr. Beattiso
ran mail stage from Danburv to Bridge
port twice week. going down one day
and back the nex5, brirg ipg mail for
Redding, Reddipg Ridge and Easton. He
carried great many parcels but no ex-

ADVERTISING RATES.

WHY SOME FARMERS HAVE THE BLUES.
The New York milk market still re-
mains in an unsettled condition and the
prices continue to rule low. Seventy
cents a can net is not figure to cause
farmers to be very cheerful.
A representative of THE BEE met Ben
jamin Seeley of Washington, the other
day, one of the largest milk producers in
the state. Mr. Seeley believes the milk
trust may yet materialize and have an
effect on the market conditions. Mr.
Wurmser, of the Trust, had lately told
Mr. Seeley they were still at work on the
problem. They have abundant capital
behind them, and Mr. Seeley thinks they
may yet be potent factor in the market.
Mr. Seeley lays the blame for the IN
settled condition of the market to the
wholesalers. Many of them, he thinks,
make contracts with large users of milk
at ruinously low prices and then make
up on the small retailer. He says he
knows for fact that some of the milk
has been sold in New York this summer
for 81. 40 and $3.50 can which has net
ted the farmers 60 and zoe. If the trust
can in some measure equalize such con-
ditions many farmers will welcome their
advent. But the trust will not be in bust
ness for the sake of philanthropy, and it
is question If the conditions would be
improved. Mr. Seeley, however, is inclin-
ed to think it would be, and this view is
held, we think, by his brother, Edwin
Seeley, president Of the Housatonic Milk
Producers association.
In regard to the cost of transportation
Mr. Seeley takes a sensible view. He does
not regard 25c a can as exorbitant and
farmers generally are satisfied. He says,
moreover, that he does not believe the
farmers would be benefited q single cent
II the railroads carried the milk at lOc q
can. The reduction of the charges by
the railroads in past years has proved
this fact to his mind. There ia one fact
that is certain, if the present low prices
continue, great number of Connecticut
farmers will retire from shipping milk tc
New York, and enter upon Other
branches of dairying.
There are many who believe that the
farmers who supply creameries are il
the end better off, as they retain the skin
milk for use on the farms, and escape thu
heavy loss In losing cans. We are in
clined to this view il the face of existing
conditions.
Editor Myrick of The Homestead
thinks the farmers can do something By
organization in New York, to affect tn,
conditions, but farmers throughout thu
Housatonic valley have not much faith
as all efforts in the past have been futile
We are hardly inclined to accept hi
rosy view of the situation, but we lik,
his spirit and energy. 1t would be well
we believe, if producers would organic,
as he suggests. Let them make ont
grand kick, and IL the effort is made il
concert with the farmers OF New Yorl
state, somebody is going to be hurt. Ed
itor Myrick says: The vigor with which
the farmers for greater New York mar
ket are perfecting their Five States Mill
