 Thomas F. Lunny of tho WSter- bury Rubber Tire Coach Co feels that thu criticisms leveled at the hackmen of Waterbury for the advance made in }prlces unwarranted and declares that he is of the opinion that q great many are discussing the question who know little 0f nothing about 1t. Do you know of anything that hasn't gone up the past year or two?" in Qured Mir Lunny of Democrat re- porter The reporter promptly re- piled that he was not aware that the price of labor had made a very ap- preciable jump. to which Mir Lunny replied that probably that was true, but added that 1t would have to 90 up. Demands have been made upon me in that line,' he said. that cannot stave of any longer and soon l shall be obliged to increase my wage schedule IS or 25 per cent. and the help Is worth it. They've got to have it to live
 Continuing, MT Lunny said: Some think there is fortune in this busi- ness, but should like to ask any body who takes that ground if he knows what 1t costs to run carriage for year. I'll tell you. The sum total is $1,997. made up of the fol- lowing items: A mans wages. $730; shoeing three horses. $109; feed and maintenance of three horses. $728; repairs on carriage and harness, $160: wear and tear on stock, $150; interest on money invested, $120. Remember. these items do not in- clude office help, telephones, light and fuel, rent. the proprietor's own time and many other things that crop up from time to time and which no- body can foresee.
 Every carriage kept in proper condition for use needs painting once year. This means that 1t Is out of commission for forty-two days, leav- ing BPS days in which it can be used. Putting its earning capacity at the highest for that time 1t will not ex- ceed $2,261 year. This is figuring on an average income of $7 day, and 1t is more likely to be below that than above it. This leaves $264 to meet everything not enumerated here which often turns out to be pair of horses worth several hundred dol lars. I sent an outfit to one of the cemeteries to-day that is worth $3,- DJ0. All get out of the job is a $5 bill. If anything happened that out fit would have to meet all the ex- penses of putting it back into work ing shape.
 linen look at the advance in the cost of maintenance. Rubber tires that used to be $7 are now SIP: car riage painting that used to be $S0 is now $60; blacksmithing has ad- vanced 25 per cent, and bought hay the other day for little over $19 a ton, but since I have been notified that if I want any more of 1t will have to pay SPA. The same thing is true of everything that enters into this business. and say, by the way, I'm 10th to mention what we do and get nothing for, but it counts just the same. The amount lost during the year now about to close on ann bulance calls alone amounts to $497."
 MT Lunny says that before discuss ing this question the newspapers should familiarize themselves with the facts. There is not much in 1t at the new prices and 1t is case of get 1t or 20 to the wall with anybody that wants to conduct a carriage service such as the people of Waterbury want.

and started for the Indian reservation
where the Carlisle Indian originally
came from, and where we were to hire
Indians for our show. We rode about
40 miles in hired buckboards, and just
as the sun was setting there appeared
in the distance an Indian camp, where
smoke assembled from tepees. tents and
bark houses. When the civilized Carlisle
Indian jumped up on the front seat of
the blackboard and gave a series of
yells that caused pas bald head to
look ashamed that it had no hair to
stand on end, there came a war
whoop from the camp, Indians, squaWs,
dogs, and everything that con-

WHAT LIMITS CORN YIELD.
Low Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well
on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than
High Protein Corn.

Regarding the yield of corn it seems
quite possible that upon land whose
productive capacity is limited by the
supply of available nitrogen the low
protein or high starch corn may yield
better than the high protein corn,
provided the two kinds of corn are
equal In other respects, as in germ
mating power, vigor of growth, root
development, etc. My opinion is that
If we have use for high protein corn
We should produce it and by means
of leguminous crops we should pro-
vide the growing corn crop with as
much nitrogen as it can profitably
use. or course this principle applies
not only to nitrogen, but to all of the
elements of fertility. There is no
economy in allowing any crop to grow
in a half starved condition, any more
than there is in keeping growing ami
mails on mere maintenance ration.
We. should provide not only the nj
trogen, but we should also make sure
that the supply of phosphorus and
potassium Is sufficient for maximum
profitable crop yields.
In this connection it may be stated
that the evidence thus far obtained
from soil Investigations in the corn
belt indicates that the supply of nj
trogen is abundant in most soils. in
deed that large amounts OF. nitrogen
are annually passing of in drainage
waters, that phosphorus and not nj
trogen is the element which commonly
limits the yield Of the corn crop, and
that the chief effect Of clover upon
succeeding crop of corn is due to the
phosphorus liberated by the decaying
clover residues, the tixation of nj
trogen being of secondary import

fected. Prosperity in the farming
world means prosperity in the indus
trial and the mercantile world. When
the farmers suffer, the disaster
reaches in some measure to every
man, woman and child in the country.
There is no way to honestly put
out of sight the interdependence of
our people, and yet the one class that
could live absolutely without the ex-
1stence of any of the other classes is
the farming community. In view
of these self-evident truths it does
seem that the industrial and mercan.
tile classes, with the professional
people, would be mindful OF every
thing tending to make rural life
profitable and pleasant. The pres
ent highway conditions form the
most serious drawback that confronts
the country to-day. In no other civ
ilized country do like conditions pre-
vail. Wherever government has in.
tervened for good highways, there
the people are happiest. The high
ways afford to the rural population
not alone the means or communica-
ton with the business world, but the
means of reaching church houses and
school houses, and all that they have
OF social intercourse and amusement.
1t should be a matter of general pub
lie concern to have the highways in
all the states put in tirst-class condi-
j ton. The states of themselves can
never establish satisfactory systems
OF roads, nor should they be expected
to. The cost of road construction
should be equitably distributed, and
this can only be done through national
aid.
