For almost twenty years the
Veterinary Department of thesAg-
ricultural and Mechanical College
has been engaged with the Texas
fever problem. 1t seemed highly
desirable that some means should
be found that would justify the i'm.
portation of high.class bulls to i'm.
prove the quality of beef cattle
without the heavy losses from fe.
YER that had usually followed. Pre-.
vious to these Investigations the
martality among imported stock
ran from fifty to seventy-five per
cent. Anyone can see that the
purchase of such animals was an
almost unwarranted risk Now
the losses run from five to eight
per cent. For several years the
effort was made to produce a tenn.
porary immunity by sub-cutaneous
injections of the blood.serum of
immune native cattle. This was
simply an attempt to follow and
apply the principles worked ont by
Ehrlich and others in regard to
diphtheria and tetanus, but after
years of toll it had to be abandon.
ed. The matter was then ap.
preached from another direction,
namely. injecting the imported
cattle with virulent blood or with
the fever ticks themselves. AS
soon as this was properly managed,
the problem began to yield, and it's
solution became easier. During
the last ten years almost 4, 900 reg.
istered cattle of the highest quality
have been sent to College by the
Texas importers to be inoculated j.
Only a very small percentage of
these have died. The Experiment
Station offers the services of it's Of.
fcers free of charge for this work
during the winter months.

Ono of the important branches of the work of the department of agri- culture is that of exploring foreign lands for new crops. At present this part of the service is not as large as the department would like, but it is hoped congress will make provision for an extension at this session. During the past year a trained man has been in the cultivated fields and wild mountains of north China and Manchuria, searching for new plants and seeds worthy to be transplanted to this country, and for wild forms of our cultivated fruits and vegeta- bles which may have characters of hardness or unusual vigor which will make them useful for plant breeders of the United States. Shipments of scions and of seeds representing hun dreds of interesting things have been sent by him and are now undergoing trials at the gardens of the depart ment in Washington. Among those secured are new hardy Pekin persim- mons, interesting varieties of Eng fish walnuts, the Chinese pistache, wild and cultivated apricots. the wild peach from its supposed original home, hardy apples and edible fruited hawthorns, millets and field beans, a lawn sedge. and very remarkable lot of Chinese varieties of grapes. as we'll as a collection of ornamental trees and shrubs, suited to the eli mate of the eastern and middle states.

 When the history of both success full and unsuccessful trusts is ex- amined. it will be seen that the only way in which permanent monopoly can be secured and retarded by any consolidation is by the control of the supply of raw material, says writer in the Engineering Mazagine. Any trust which disregards this fact, and is content with simply consolidating all or most of the existing manufac- turing plants. in line for disaster. For, supplies of raw materials being still available for outsiders, the first advance in prices will be the signal for the erection of competitive plants. If, on the other hand, the raw ma terials can be cornered, there is no possibility of competition. This fact, though disregarded a decade ago, is now generally borne in mind. The strong position of the United States Steel corporation, for example. is not due to its control of blast furnaces and steel plants-for these could be readily duplicated--but to the fact that it controls three-fourths or more of the known reserves of iron ores in the Lake Superior district, and is therefore currently believed to have almost a monopoly of the good ores of the United States. So long as Lake Superior ores are deemed necessary by furnacemen in general, it may be safely said that the Steel corporation is in no real danger of serious com petition. Current belief is. in this case. probably. far from correct, matter which will be discussed in a later number of this magazine. The fact that the belief is erroneous does not affect the argument, for the next best thing to having monopoly is to be able to persuade your prospective competitors that you have one.

EARLY DAYS OF LITcHFIELD.
First White Child Born in 1721-
 County Largest in State.

The Daughters of the American Revolution are delving deep to get the earliest history of Litchfield county. Three men, one from each of the original towns-Windsor, Hart ford and Wethersfield--in 1720 bought land for the first settlement in the country. paying a penny and three farthings an acre.
 The first white child born in Litchfleld county was Eunice Gris- wold on March 30, 1721. Her father, Jacob Griswold, was taken prisoner by the Indians.
 The county was originated in 1T51 and was the largest in the state, con sisting of the towns of Canaan, Corn wall, Goshen, Harwinton, Kent, Litchfield, New Hartford New Mill ford, Salisbury, sharon and Wood- burry. Litchfield was the county seat.
 The first British flag that fell into the hands of the Americans in the revolutionary war was captured by Ethan Allen. a native of Litchfield, and the next day Crown Point. with all its military stores surrendered to Colonel Warren, also native of this county. 5
 The first pleasure carriage was brought to Litchfield from New York and was used as late as 1872.
 The first temperance organization in the world, it is believed, was or ganized in Litchfield county in 17S9.
 Tom" Marrup, one of the hun dreds of Indians that inhabited the county, lived in Cornwall, served in the revolutionary war and proved himself good soldier, though ad- dicted to strong drink. For getting drunk he was sentenced to ride in front of the regiment "on the wooden horse," which meant on a rail on the shoulders of his comrades. Lieuten- ant Tanner asked him if he did not feel ashamed to be presented to the regiment In that way. Yes" said Tom" "I am ashamed to think that our lieutenant must go on foot while a poor old Indian can ride. Win sted Correspondence of Springfield Republican.

WILL CONVENE SOON.
Several Matters Relating to the In.
 coming General Assembly.

Hartford. Jan 3.-Among num- Der of the members of the coming legislature there is much interest in the telephone question. It is known that efforts will be made by the Far nington Valley Telephone company to increase its powers and enlarge its field. It is furthermore known that an independent company is desired by parties who say that they will avoid the mistake made two years ago, and will give guarantees of good intentions. The attitude of the Southern New England Telephone company has not been made known, but 1t is believed by some that the company will not object so strenuous ly as in 1905. but will rely rather on It's strength in the state generally. The company has added many sub seribers in nearly every division here in Connecticut. Its friends argue that a new company would mean two tel ephones in many houses which now have one. and that the expense would be much larger than al present, also the nuisance from the calls.
 The Connecticut Civil Service Re- form association has sent a circular to members-elect of the incoming general assembly. and has invited them to join it. The association is the outErowth of the New Haven asso- citation. which vas formed in 1881. and agitated for two local reforms. the introduction of the merit system into the municipal government and the consolidation of the city and the town of New Haven. both of vhicn were accomplished. The association voted in 1901 to change its name. and it has since grown from 5s Is 35s members
