The dry and cold weather which we have had during the months of April and May gives promise of a very short grass crop for this season. Generally when we have cold spring we also have wet one, but this year we have had the unusual combination of cold and dry. After all the natural fer | tiliZer from the farm has been used, there are still left on every farm some old meadows that will. hardly produce grass enough for the labor of moving and raking them over. To make the farm show profit, it is necessary to get the best of it all just as in the case of merchant who has to do certain amount of business to pay his expenses and rent. What business he does over and above that will represent his profits. Although grain and hay may not be as high another season as they now are, still they may be. At any rate it pays to raise plenty of corn and thus have surplus of hay to sell There is always demand for hay ir Connecticut at a good price. There fore blow up those old meadows, order some. of the Berkshire Complete fer tilizer and plant more corn. If there is no agent for the Berkshire fertilizers in your vicinity write to the Borkshire Fertilizer Co.,, Bridgeport, for prices and terms. You may be sure of gooC goods and good treatment. Use level culture and after cultivating the last time seed the land down again between the rows. In this way you are almost sure of good catch of grass and croI the next season.

PROHIBITION A FRAUD.
Bishop Potter and DR.. Rainsford Take
Advanced Views on the Subject.

New York, Jan. s.-The orthodox
church members of this city are discuss
ing today the utterances of Bishop
Potter and DR. Rainsford on the tenn
perance question at a meeting of the
Church club last night to discuss ''The
Excise Law and Sunday Closing"
Bishop Potter, the first speaker, de-
clared that prohibition was fraud and
"a failure and wherever it had been en-
forced it had educated race of frauds
and hypocrites. He further declared
that prohibitionists were hypocrites and
that the only way to deal with the ex-
else question was to educate the masses.
Bishop Potter'S sentiments were gem
orally voiced by about 100 clergymen
and laymen present.
DIR. Rainsford, who followed Bishop
Potter, went further and said:
THE saloon is a democratic institu-
ton and has come to stay. We have no
right to force by legal methods our
Christian sentiments on the community.
We have no right to depart from the
wishes of the masses. The Women'S
Christian Temperance union consists OF
good women who are doing the DEVILS
work."
DR. Rainsford said the saloon was not
an evil place or a place for evil men,
and that it filled a positive need in a
city like New York.

MIR. BOWERSOCK'S BILL.
Favorable Action Recommended by
Western Organizations.

Washington, January S.-The house
committee on public lands will take up
the grazing bills that have been offered
at the present session, at one of the
early meetings of the committee. The
bill introduced by Mr. Bowersock, of
Kansas has been favorably recon-
mended by a number of cattle growers
associations, and has also met with ap-
prevail by farmers organizatio in diff
ferent western states.
Congressman Stephens, of Texas, to-
day introduced another land-leasing bill
along somewhat similar lines to the
measure offered by Mr.. Bowersock. The
principal difference in the bills is that
the Bowersock measure limits the land
that may be leased to one party to $40
acres. while Mr.. Stephens, who comes
from the Panhandle country, LIMITS his
10 SO sections. Mr. Stephens bill also
provides for the state instead of gov
eminent control of the lands. 1t pro-
vides that the state shall use one-half
of the funds derived from the leases
for irrigation purposes, and turn the
other half over to the national treasury.
Mr. Bowersocks bill provides that all
the revenue derived from the leases,
above the cost of administration of the
lands. shall go into fund to be ex-
pended by the secretary of the interior
for the reclamation of arid lands.

LYNcHINes OF 1901.

The Chicago Tribune has made its
customary compilation of the number
and causes of lynchings in the United
States for 1901 The figures show that
there were 101 lynchings in 1901, IA less
than in 1900. There has been a steady
decrease shown since 1892, when 236
the high water mark, was reached.
OF the 101 victims of lynching in 1901,
the Tribune finds that 10 were ne
groes, % whites. one Indian and one
Chinese. Murder was given as the
cause for q lynchings; criminal assault
for 20; murderous assault. 6; race pre-
judice, 8; arson. 4; attempted criminal
assault, 4; theft, 3; sheltering murder
er, 3; suspected cattle stealing, 81 sus-

arrest, l; robbery, 1; insulting white
women, 2; assaulting white person, 1;

The Tribune has recorded, during the
past score of years, 3.130 lynchings The
only states in which lynchings have
never occurred are Delaware, Massa-

have occurred in Mississippi. with Tex

Congress will be called upon to de-
termine between the two proposed
isthmian canal routes. There appears
to be no escape. The advantages
claimed for the Panama route are:
Shorter distance, being 40 miles as
against Sc for the Nicaraguan route =
fairly good natural harbors at both
ends, whereas artificial harbors must be
constructed at both ends of a Mica
raguan canal; fewer locks and turns for
the Panama route; shorter time for
passage. being II hours for Panama
against 80 hours for Nicaragua; and
finally a considerably lower cost of
maintenance the estimate being 81, 000-
900 for Panama and So, 800. 600 for Mica
ragua, a difference in favor of the
Panama route of 81. 100000 per year. To
offset these advantages in favor of the
Panama route 1t is claimed that the Mic
aragua route is much the healthier,
that it is one day nearer to our At
lantic coast ports and two days nearer
to our gulf ports, and that generally
speaking it is two days shorter route
between our eastern and western coasts
and likewise two days shorter to ORR
entail points.
