WATERFOWL.

SENSIBLE REMARKS, SAYS THE EDITOR.
A petition has been circulated pra ying
the selectmen to warn a town meeting
for the purpose of appropriating a GER
tain sum to improve piece of highway,
under the state law, said road to be near
the residence of James B. Wooster, and
past what is known as the old slaughter.
just why the petition calls for the i'm
provement at this particular place is not
stated, so one may suppose that it ia be-
cause this is veI ~ bad piece of road, as
it is at present. Well, if it is there are
lots of bad pieces of road in town Just as
bad as this and not any less travelled
over. II roads are going to be improved
! at all why not improve the main roads
| first. These are the roads that everyone
can have the advantage of. People who
travel this proposed new piece of road
will naturally do it in going to Water
| bnry. Why not get the main road from
Watertown to Waterbury finished first,
and then go on to the back roads. No
doubt this piece of road talked of needs
fixing, but why not do it temporarily as
has been done. If Watertown applies
the money received from the state there
then Waterbury will go towards Water
vile or Naugatuck, and WATERFOWL will
lose the advantage of the improvements
on the Waterbury end of the road. Oak.
vile is growing fast and clamoring for
improvements. 1t Is practically a sub.
urb of Waterbury and an important one
at that. A great many people are NOV
ing out there to live, and great many
are intending to move there. Conse-
Quently there is good deal of interest
taken in Waterbury as to what concerns
Oakville, and movement is on foot and
is being considered seriously, your cor
respondent is told, to telfordize not only
the usual mile of road, but to come all
the way to Oakv1lle, from where the
present new road ends. Just think of it |
IL Waterbury should come as far on the |
town line, which runs through or near
the pin shop, and Watertown went 8 |
mile commencing say at Smiths shop |
and leaving out CaDdee hill for the pres
emit, Watertown would have a telford /
road clear through TO Waterbury. Ont
the other hand if Watertown puts thel
money in this piece of road spoken of /
the Waterbury people will let Oakville
(Which is of course part OF Watertown),
alone, and go somewhere else. Then, in
place of having six miles of good road
towards Waterbury, the people will have
what has already been done and a little
piece in addition out near Star woods,
where one can travel back and forth all
lay and never meet anyone else unless
It should be some contractors team from
New Britain or somewhere else that is
,arting ties TO the depot. If Watertown
s going to improve any piece OF highway
his year let 1t be where it will do the
most good and where the town can get
he most benefit. Let us commence at
he right end and move outward. The

Read What the Manufacturers Say;

Buyers and consumers are cautioned
against the misrepresentation of unscrupu-
lOus statesmen, who offer colors with the as
surance that the paint is similar In compound
and quality to the Railroad Colors, which have
been known and tried in thousands OF in
stances during the last 20 years, and which
have been eadUy growing in favor as time
has tested their enduring qualities. However
good paint may be- we are sure of its super
fority only after years of trisl. Time is the
only reliable test; and every purchaser OF
paints which have mot been subject to this
test, tries them at his own risk. Our ready.
made Colors have stood this trial. and are
commended most by those who know them
best. We are almost daily in receipt OF unso
uCited testimony which runs mainly to this
effect: 81 painted my house Tor store) with
your colorS three yea ago. The paint seems
as fresh when first laid on. now propose
to keep a stock of them tor sale, and to rec
onmend them to all my customers, referring
TO my own experiment to settle the question
Of durability" This, we repeat, is the gener
al testimony of those who speak from exper-
ieuce, and some of the leading houses of the
United States have sold hundreds of tons of
them, with entire satisfaction to the cOnsum-
erS. Again we caution purchasers against
cOlors which pretend to be the same las ours.
All such claims are fraudulent, and are In
tended to deceive.

LOW-HEADED TREES.
Their Naturally Spreading Habit oi
s Growth Will Keep Them Fruit
~ full for Years.

A great many fruit trees will be set
next spring, says Nebraska Farmer.
One of the most important points to
be considered in planting is to trim so
as to make the fruit tree productive
and its fruits easily harvested. The
cid idea that fruit trees should be
trained to branch up six or more feet
from the ground, so as not to get in
the way of blowing, has long ago been
proved a mistake. It is the fruit on the
high tree that is most exposed to winds
and which as windfalls brings less
than half what it is worth if carefully
picked by hand. The low-headed tree
will come into bearing early. and its
naturally spreading habit of growth
will keep it fruitful. Under trees thus
managed there can, of course, be no
blowing, but they will not need it.
Grass is easily suppressed by the shade
of low-headed trees, and a little mulch
spread under the trees will keep the
soil always moist enough for thrifty
growth of roots. Most of the fruit on
low-headed trees can be harvested
from the ground, or by standing on
short stepladders, leaving very little to
be got by climbing among the
branches

coNGENIAL OCCUPATION.
Light and Profitable Employment for
q Poor Old Man Who Had
Nothing But Money.

The old stock broker limped YEARLY down
the familiar country road on which in boy.
hood days he had often driven the cows
homeward to their barn at milking time,
and ever and anon some familiar feature
of the landscape caught his eye Years ago
his father had died and left the farm to his
brother and himself. Soon firing of the dull
toll Of a farmers life, he resolved to 20 to
the city and seek his fortune.
Here his honest face secured him posi-
ton with Wall street firm, the members
OF the firm assuming that an honest, in
genuous countenance was such rarity in
their line Of business that it might attract
attention and add to their clientele. Soon
branching out for himself, he in time be.
came one OF the largest operators on the
street. But, caught in a crash, he was pen
niless, and was now forced to seek home
with his brothers sons, who had prospered
with the farm.
As he reached the familiar gate the young
husbandmen saw him, and with veil they
rushed to meet their uncle.
Come right in! You shall not want for
anything!" cried Jabe.
The room you occupied when "a boy il
''Not lick Of work shall you dol" chimed
in another of his nephews.
Hush, boys!" said the old stock broker.
