MILFORD.

Town Agent Ford has received an in- vitation to attend the coming meeting of the National Good Roads associa- ton in Hartford and is laying ihs plans to be there if possible.
 A mid-winter lawn social will be held at Taylor NJ. D. church Thursday evening of this week. This promises to be something entirely new in the way of church socials at this time of the year.
 Late Saturday night MT. and Mrs. R. G. s. Pond reached Milford after a four days journey from Redlands, Cal. Mir. and Mrs. Pond dswent out there some months ago hoping to improve MT. Ponds health. In this they were not entirely successful, and their re- turn to Milford has been somewhat hastened by this cause They are at the home of Mrs. N. c. Pond.
 George Ransome, who was struck and killed by a train some time Saturday night, came here from Colchester, Conn.,, and had been employed nearly all the time since by either H. A. Smith or c. M. Nettleton. He was a very efficient man about saw mill. He was very industrious and while but little if any money was found on his body enough is owned him by his en- ployer to give him decent burial l At the meeting of Indian River grange this evening the following is to be debated, Resolved, That the ex- | tension of trolley lines throughout the
 country is of more benefit to the pub l lie than good roads" George A. Rob- erts and F. NJ Smith will argue in
 favor of this, while N. Freeman Smith
 and H. c. c. Miles will speak against | it. There will also be music, both vo-
 cal and instrumental.

Movement on Foot to Get Bill Through
 Legislature.
 At a meeting of the nurses of the New Haven hospital held yesterday after noon at the dormitory on Howard ave- nue steps were taken toward securing a bill to go through the legislature pro- viding for the registration of nurses similar to that of doctors and lawyers. A bill to this effect has been passed in New York recurring nurses to pass a regulation examination before they can be registered and he termed "trained nurses m
 This is very wise measure inasmuch as it will require proficiency before the examinations, things that is just as es- sential in nurse as in doctor. A committee was appointed yesterday to make plans for another meeting to bt held shortly at which a number of othel nurses from the city will be present.

CARE FOR THE BIRDS.


 Reports indicate that many birds and small animals have died from the se- verity of the winter, and do people req lize how many of the pretty little crea- lures could be saved by exercising a little generous thoughtfulness by scat tering food where birds and squirrels can find it. Possibly the state or towns, and clubs make appropriations to this object. If so the writer is igno- rant of such an act To illustrate what little will do by a kind hand, Waite G. Spencer, of Grove street. who has reached his three score and ten years. is still valued employe of the Clock company at the case department, working on the second floor. In front is roof on another building even with his window. Flocks of birds collect in front of MT. Spencer, the most peaceful family one could imagine. It has been discovered that Mir Spencer makes daily provision for the birds by having in length. which he fills with cracked corn. Hundreds come and go, giving the provider all the sweet song they have. Also at the home of Mr. Spencer they get the same care. Bluejays come and light upon his door step. MT. Spen- cer informs the writer that he has pur- chased about thirty pounds of the cracked corn especially for this pur- pose. Sidney Glover, another generous hearted bird lover, as has been stated before. has an army of birds and gray squirrels. They seem to come from fai and near for their daily rations-birds Of every kind that stay here through the winter except crows. It is unusua to see large flock of quail gather daily for their food.

Narrowing breaks up the clusters
of eggs, buries many of them,
crushes some and scatters the rest
through the soil. 1t is not so eff
fective as blowing because it does
not bury the eggs deep enough to
destroy them all. 1t can be done
in Autumn or in Spring. These
methods of destroying the eggs
are our most effective means of
holding the grasshoppers in check.
Other methods will be discussed in
a later bulletin, among them burn
ing, poisoning and the use of hop
per-dozers which destroy half
grown grasshoppers by means of
Kerosene and crude petroleum.
Flowing and narrowing are the
best methods known. The work
should be done early in the Win
ter before the ground is frozen or
else as early in the Spring as pos
sible. SAMUEL B. DoTEN.

A STORY or THE WEST.
Once an Affluent COmst0cker Cook
In T0nOpah.


People returning from Tonopah
bring the story that poor old
Hank" Smith is cooking for one
of the outfits in that prosperous
camp. This is another story of
the West that runs in serial form
says the Carson Appeal, starting
with the golden days of Virginia
City, into the whirl of life in San
Francisco, thence to Alaska and
back to poverty. From a fortune
and fine position back to the
wild West for new start.
But while Hank" is working
night and day in the new camp
Mrs. Smith is busy at the social
game in San Francisco, and year
ago her entertainment for her son,
Lieutenant Emory Smith, before
his departure for an eastern sta
ton, was the talk of the city. The
Hank Smiths of San Francisco
live elegantly, wear fine clothes
and look as though they had all
the ready money necessary, while
poor old Hank is out here in Ne
vada trying to make an honest
living, even though it be in me-
NAL capacity. The mysterious
part of the story is the money on
the San Francisco end of the line.
The Hank Smiths were married in
Virginia city in bonanza days. AT
the time of the marriage Hank
had about S5oo,ooo, and Mrs.
Hank was a school teacher, pos
sessed of abundant good looks, so
alPs swell that endswell 1t was
a good match. After some time
the couple moved so San Francis
co, Mrs. Smith had social am
bitions and Hank was busy in one
mining deal and another all over
the West. Finally it was said he
had nothing left. Next he was
heard of in Alaska.
Then, with the exception of
news of the dashing Lieutenant
Smith, the description of his moth
er's entertainments, which appear
ed periodically i'll the San Fran
cisco papers, nothing was heard of
them until the news came that
poor old Hank was working for so
much a day i'll a mining camp
kitchen. What the next phase of
the story will be may only be an
ticipated.

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN
About Grasshopper and How to Get Rid Of
Them,

vi all the 1nSeCt-peStS fOund IN
the State of Nevada the grasshop-
pers are the most destructive, for
they injure our most important in
dustries, agriculture and stock
raising, by invading the alfalfa
fields.
They usually do the greatest
damage to the second crop of al
falfa, for, though they hatch in
the Spring from eggs laid the
previous Autumn, the young chop
pers" DO very little apparent in
jury to the first crop, As soon as
il is cit, however, they are de-
prived of their abundant supply
Of green food. The few leaves
remaining are quickly destroyed,
and with them every opening bud
and nevly-formed leaf. The sec
ond crop cannot make a start for
the new growth is eaten as fast as
lit appeaB. The injured fields
sometimeslook as brown and bare
in midsummer as they are early i'll
the Spring In many cases this
means the loss of thousands of
dollars woth of hay.
In Nevaa very little has been
done towan preventing this loss;
but in Minnesota and Nebraska
grasshoppeB are fought systemat-
ically with considerable success.
Before we an adopt means for
holding thi; pest in check, we
must undersand something of its
life history irthe alfalfa fields.
Every yea great numbers of
grasshoppers gather along ditch
banks and Iod sides and along
little used roats through the fields.
In such place as these females
lay their eggs, ,lhrusting the abdo-
men an inch oImore deep in the
soil, and layinga pod or mass of
oblong light yellow eggs. The
eggs in the from soil hatch when
the ground gnws warm in the
Spring. The young hoppers make
their way to the surface and at
once begin feeding on the tender
green leaves and grass.
AS the newly hatched young
are small and weak it is difficult
matter for them to make their way
to the surface. Il the eggs can
be buried a few inches in the soil
this becomes impossible.
For this reason it is customary
in parts of Nebraska and Minneso-
ia to bury the grasshopper eggs
by blowing them into the soil.
Turned under by the plow the
eggs are buried 50 deeply that
when they hatch the young hop
pers" cannot make their way to
the surface. This is practical
and successful way of destroying
grasshoppers where it can be ap-
piled.
Ditch banks, roads through the
fields and waste places near the
fields should be examined for eggs
late in the Autumn. An inch of
surface soil should be sliced off
here and there with shovel. If
the ground is full of eggs it should
be plowed before Winter. The
rain and snow will then cake the
surface soil and pack it so hard
that the newly hatched grasshop-
pers can scarcely make their way
through.
Spring blowing is not so effect
i've because the soil does not have
time to settle and pack before the
grasshopper eggs, begin to hatch.
AS vast numbers of these insects
hatch out in the fields themselves

Press reports Of the st. Louis
convention show that General
Weaver still possesses the faculty
for "sizing up" political situa-
tons as they really are. We quote
from the Denver News the Gen
erals's speech in part in answer to
the sycophant's harangue OF Sen
ator Daniels of Virginia, on Judge
Parker's telegram. The General
said: 1.-The committee on resolu-
tons tried it's best to find out how
Parker stood on the gold question.
We were told by his chief sponsor
Senator Hill, of New York, that
he did not know. Senator Dan
iels said that Judge Parker is q
foot higher than he was yester-
day. 1 want to say that that is
an optical illusion. Judge Par
ker only appears to be a foot
higher than he was yesterday
because the convention is three
feet lower.
