HILLHOUsE FOOTBALL NOTES.

Hillhouse Team Handicapped Scholar
 ship Requirement Hindrance.
 The Hillhouse high school football team, which met with a defeat from the Hartford high school last Sat urday, is working hard now in antici- patton of the championship games which soon begin. Last Saturday it was necessary to put five substitutes on the team on account of the low standing of the regular players. This weakened the team immensely It is however hoped that the regular team will face Hopkins on Friday morning and Tafts school in Watertown on Saturday. There is much annoyance felt by the members of the school at the board of education scholarship rul- ing. By this rule no pupil who receives is allowed to play on any team even though all his other studies be 100. As the New Haven schools are the only ones in the state league which have this rule the home team is much han dicapped. The game Friday with Hop- kins will begin at 10 o'clock at Yale field. Hilhcuse will line up as follows:
 Left end--Shanley 'O1.
 Left tackle-Farrel '01, captain
 Left guard-Moore '02.
 Center-Hardy '01, manager.
 Right guard-Sheldon O1.
 Right tackle-Kennedy '02.

Judge William K. Townsend of the United States court has reappointed the referees in bankruptcy in all the coun- ties in this state. The terms are for two years. Henry G. Newton is reap pointed referee in bankruptcy for New Haven county, George A. Kellogg for Hartford, John w. Banks for Fairfield, Gustave Carlson for Middlesex, Amos A. Browning for New London, Frank S. Mum for Litchfield, and John F. Carpenter for Windham.
 Quo wararnto proceedings were be- gun in the superior court yesterday morning by Attorney c. K. Bush, who represents the West Haven school board in the school row now on in the borough of West Haven.
 Judge Robinson granted the applica- ton contained in the writ and set one week from yesterday, October 23, at 10 a. m., for a hearing.
 The contest is the outcome of the re- cent school election.
 The action prays that Charles E. Stormont and Cyrus Futile be com pelled to return the certificates of elec- ton given them by Moderator Hayes.
 Stormont and Futile didn't receive as many votes as Hall and Gagel, their opponents, but the moderator threw out enough votes on the ground that they were void to give Stormont and Tut tie a majority.
 Neither of the counters signed the return for Stormont and Tuttle's cleo tion, but nevertheless the certificates were given to them by Hayes.
 Stormont and Futile have refused to give up the certificates, unless ordered to do by the court, but have further said that no matter which way the case is decided they will resign on ac- count of the feeling which has arisen.
 In the superior court, civil side, the

A NOTE FROM DIR. CURTICE.

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER =
Allow me to say word through
your columns to buyers of improved
cattle.
Acclimation disease in bulls has for
years been a bar against improve
ment by introducing thoroughbred
stock.
By observing a few precautions
bulls may be brought to this State to
any portion of the ''stOcklaw dis
trict at any time of year without
danger of loss.
If there are no cattle ticks on the
cattle of the farm: Either transport
the imported bull in a wagon from
the depot Not unloading into the
cattle pens) or drive him in the
middle of the road after greasing his
legs and do not allow him to touch
grass by the way. Grease them
again when they arrive. Or on in
tested farms prepare yard and shed
in the a field which has been cult
waited during two years and no cattle
allowed thereon. Build a double
fence the inside being of high tight
boards and the outer at a few feet
distance of wire that will keep stock
away. Provide shade.
- Set aside a special pen in which
COWS may be served. Clean each
oOvI, of all ticks bnfOro admitting her
and thoroughly grease her. When
served take both away from this pen:
Feed correctly and allow plenty OF
exercise.
A certificate stating that the bulls
are not infected with any cOmmun1-
cable disease and signed by the State
they started from should accompany
each importation. Buy any breed of
cattle where quarantine regulations
permit. COOPER CURTICR,
Veterinarian, N. G. Department OF
Agriculture.

put on it. We then let it stand about
two weeks, after which we put 300
pounds more guano on each side of
this list, threw two more burrows to
the bed and planted. The plants
came up with fine dark green color,
and grew off well from the start, do
ing really better than adjoining field
on which manure was applied.
There is certainly a great deal Of
labor saved by using commercial fer
tilizer for melons, and if the soil is
well and deeply prepared and cult
waited rapidly after the plants start,
almost, if not quite as good results
may be obtained.
A fertilizer for melons should con-
tain about ammonia 5 per cent, phOs-
phOric acid per cent and potash z
per cent, used at the rate of not less
than 500 pounds per acre, Instead
of that the following may be used:
take nitrate of soda 200 pounds, cot
ton seed meal 700 pounds, acid phos-
phate $40 pounds and muriate of pot
ash 260 pounds to make a tOn-or
tankage (926), 625 pounds, bone meal
100 pounds, and muriate of potash
275 pounds, will also make a fertili-
zer with the proper analysis.
In regard to varieties, the old
Georgia Rattlesnake still holds its
own with US, while new variety
known as the K1eckley Sweet is
proving a great favority with many
the Jones is also popular, and we
saw carloads of Kolb Gems going
North last summer, but these are too
coarse for our use, although they
make a good shipping melon.

FOOD IN VARIETY.
EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER :

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER :
A variety of food seems almost as
essential to the growth and good
health Of farm stock as good food is.
From my own experience am con-
vlnced that many stomach troubles
OF animals are due to the limited diet
which farmers feed to their stock.
Not even the most ideal food will
take the place of mixed and varied
ratlons. A few years ago [ was in a
position where the stock had very
little pasture. There was a wood
land range which they roamed about
in, but it afforded little in the way Of
grass or hay. Green corn fodder on
the other hand could be raised easily
and cheaply, and this with straw and
some meal and grain constituted the
chief diet of the stock. No other
roughage than green corn fodder
with no ears on was fed through
the summer. The animals relished
the corn at first, but they soon grew
tired of it and exhibited stomach
troubles and Indigestion. They would
not Of course eat straw when they
could get the corn fodder in the
green state. The following year
added grass and hay to the diet, and
made the animals eat more or less
straw before having any green corn
fodder. The result was more than
satisfactory, and I believe that any
narrow diet of foods, no matter how
rich and good they may be, does not
produce the best results.
The temptation of modern farming
is to give too much attention to some
favOrite crop, Oftentimes a crop that
does better on the particular soil
than any other. This is good farm
ing if we do not totally neglect other
crops. A farm that is all around
cultivated gives the best results.
Nature never intended that we should
become farming specialists to the ex-
tent chat some carry it. One crop
laps over another and helps to make
it more productive and easier to
grow, and this very fact should con-
vince us that we need to raise more
than one. I do not see how any one
can crop corn or wheat or any other
grain continually from the same land
without ultimately running the soil
in time. Yet this is being done in
many locations, and poor farms are
being made for the next generation
to abandon. It is much like running
a business that has established a rep
utatiOn without much consideration
for it's future. When it's credit and
reputation have been exhausted then
it is vaIueless, and it must be aban-
doned or built up again by the hard
work of new men.

SOME ESSENTIALS TO SUCCESS
Full FARMING.

EDITORS PROGRESSIVE FARMER -
= When we use the term successful,
we do not regard success as some do
ia mere accumulation of money, :"
but a broader, higher success than
mere money making.
The first essential to real success
is adaptability. A man may under
take to run farm just because he
chances to own one without the least
desire or pleasure in the occupation
except, perhaps, the desire to ac-
cumulate wealth.
Such farmers are generally fail
ures. If they make u living, it is
under such circumstances that all
around them feel the pessimistic
gloom that such farmers carry with
them to the postoffice, the town, and
even to the church.
If man cannot follow vocation
with a cheerful good will for the
work and it's surroundings, perhaps
he had better quit. If a man is fitted
for the high privilege of ''subduing"
the earth, tilling the soil, he feels
that he is occupying one of the most
important places he can possibly fill
in this world, and feeling this way
he may look about him to make a
home, not merely place to eat and
sleep. A place where the loved ones
who share his tolls and cares can be
happy with him.
And when the injunction (see Gen.
:28) has been fulfilled, there is a
real subduing of the elements that
surround the farm, all for the use of
it's occupants. The realms of nature
about the farm, when viewed from
the proper standpoint, all cOnspire to
assist in this important work. Fire,
air, earth and water are all his ser
wants, and when these are all studied
the farmer sees his aids and co-wOrk-
ers busy around him. Even though
he be resting from active labor, his
work is progressing. He sees some
thing to interest him, something to
study; his mind does not rust for
want of employment, but body,
mind, and spirit all work in harmo-
nious order to carry out the mission
of the farmer and while he feeds the
world, he may have, if he will, the
power to rule the world by rearing
those whom God has given him to
understand that mind is above mat
ter, and that farm work is not the
drudgery it is often taken to be.
Wemay, if we are properly adapted
to the work, make it the most pleas
ant occupation on earth because it is
so closely allied to the great resources
of nature in all her wonderful pro-
ductiveness and power.
