There will probably be a shortage
of hogs next year, resulting from a
shortage of feed. Prices are and have
been good for some time, BECAUSE of
the scarcity. Production waits upon
feed, and scarcity of feed has COM

stock.
There seems to be bright pros

Connecticut Mythology.

Once upon tme-to be more pre-.
else. in the latter part of the eighteenth
century-thre lived worthy Connecti-
cut divine named the Rev. Samuel
Peters. Peters was n picturesque per-
sonage In his way. but his fame rests
entirely upon the fact that he wrote a
book. This is one of the most mar
velous works ever issued from the
Dress.
1t was Mr.. Peters. for example, who
first discovered and made known to
the world that the founder of Yale
college was n Rev. Thomas Peters,
evidently one OF his own ancestors;
that at Bellows Falls the water flowed
so fast that 1t became as hard as mar
bnr upon it; that two most marvellous
qundrupeds. the "whappermocker" and
the cuba" tevdently the ancestors Of
the jabberwockl roamed wild In the
Connecticut forests. and it is also from
Mr.. Peters that we first learn Of the
famous incurslon of the Windham
frogs.
But 1t was In the early Jurisprudence
of Connecticut that this eXpatriate
made his most interesting discoveries.

most of them believe the story de-
vOutly TO this day-that the citizens
of the state were forbidden by law
