slowly giving way to pure bred cows.
With the pure breds of noted milk
and butter strains the grade herds
are being superseded all over the
country. Wherever established they
are proving more profitable than
grade herds for the reason that, as,
a rule by. a marked per cent. over
grades they prove better. Any one

THE MAINTENANCE OF son
FERTILITY.


There has just been published the
summary of a paper by Prof w. Fl
Jordan, director of the Geneva (N.
W station, giving his views with
reference to methods of soil manage.
ment necessary to maintain fertility
as follows:
Thorough tillage, with efficient ma,
chinery, to be given If possible when
the moisture conditions Of the soil
admit of satisfactory pulverization.
Frequent surface tillage at times
of scanty rainfall, in order to con
serve, the supply of soil moisture.
A sufficiently rapid rotation OF
crops to insure good soil texture, to
allow the necessary frequency OF ap.
plying fertilizing material, and as q
main result to secure a paying stand
of crops.
The introduction into the soil, at
frequent intervals, of an amount oi
organic matter necessary to proper
soil texture and waterholding power.
either by application Of farm manure,
by plowing under soiling crops. or
by the rotting of the turf.
The scrupulous saving Of all the
excrement of farm animals, both solid
and liquid.
The purchase of plant food with
due reference to the needs of the
farm management prevailing,
The maintenance in the soil OF
those conditions of drainage and
aeratfon which promote the growth Of
desirable soil organisms, and the IN
production into the soil, when neces

EMPLOY HOME LABOR
Much Work will Be Done By
City This Year.

After the fine weather sets in, if
things should continue dull in the
factories, it would be a good plan to
have the heads of the different city
departments do as much work as they
possibly can and employ local labor
instead of letting everything out by
contract and bringing ~orkmen here
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and other places while people who be-
long here and are willing to earn a
dollar at anything are idle. The old
plan may have had some merit in ii
while there was scarcity of labor in
the Waterbury market, but if things
should be different this year every
body will appreciate anything Mayor
Thoms and his boards do towards
finding employment for men who
have homes here. This is something
that interests the clothier, the baker
the shoe dealer, the owner of, tene-
ment property-everybody in fact
who has stakes driven down so deep
that he can't afford to leave in a
hurry, consequently it should not be
made light of. The city will spend
vast sums of money on public i'm
provements this year and it behooves
all to keep as much of it as possible
at home Other towns have adopted
this plan long ago and it is none toe
soon for Waterbury to open its eyes
to the fact that there is nothing tc
be gained by going out of town TO
labor or anything else that can be
purchased here at as low figure a:
elsewhere. The present charter is
something of a handicap in this re-
spect, but even at that with the ap-
prevail of the mayor much can bt
done by the day.

This is a Great Country

And why? Because we've got laws
which appear on our statute book
that compel us to be good. Well, we
have in our city some people tknown
as dolcefarnientes) who intend that
the old (yellow) laws are lived up
to or they will know why not. Take
for instance the moving picture
shows which have been a splendid
pastime and entertainment for thou
sands of our citizens every Sunday
afternoon and evening for years, and
II you ever took notice those thou
sands are the people who cannot af-
ford the time unless they neglect
their homes every night during the
week. and moreover, the pictures
are the only pleasure they have on
Sunday (aside from attending
church service). Of course if they
force the old blue laws (they're yell
low now on us we will be compelled
to stay home Sunday and keep a
pious book in our hands from sun
rise to sunset. Well, here's that,
that dolcefarnient, who is the cause
of it ALL will run across some verse
in the book which says mind your
own business and let other peoples
business alone. OF course when he
gets the law enforced he can skip
the town. One gentleman once upon
time came to town and after doing
all the mischief he could skid
dooed," and we must bear the brunt
of it. But don't think we do bust
ness that way. No, no; We have all
we can do to mind our own business,
and if you call and buy some of our
tea, coffee, cocoa or buttermilk you'll
say we attend to our business strict

EAST MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR.
Water Three Feet Above Level o.
Dam SATURDAY..

During the storm Saturday after
noon people in the neighborhood OF
the East Mountain reservoir got scar
ed at the volume of water that rush
ed over the dam and were about to
take to the high hills when Superin-
tendent Kennedy, who is always onto
his job, relieved the situation some
what by opening the blow offs. The
oldest resident of that district never
saw anything like it. The water rose
to height of about three feet above
the level of the dam and 1t is quite
likely that some damage would have
resulted if something had not been
done to relieve the pressure.

THE ENDLESS CHAIN

With the coming OF spring, squirrels
gophers and sage rats regularly appear.
to devastate the fields of growing grain.
Early in the season, when their natural
food is scarce, their numbers may be
greatly diminished by a systematic war
fare upon them. Every female killed be-
fore the young are born. reduces the
number of pests at least ten later on.
"Woodfark" Squirrel Poison Is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised
for their determination. It is an abso-
lutely certain instrument of death for
squirrels. Every kernel is warranted 10
Kill. Climatic changes, dew, frost, or the
moisture Of the earth do not effect its
strength. 1t requires no mixing or prep
aration, and is always ready for use. No
other is so good. Dealers viii refund the

in the future. Every year timber
cruisers are going farther and far
Their afield and cutting trees which,
in former years of abundance, they
passed because of the inaccessabiIity
of the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber
the Melbourne lumbermen will have
to ship the entire years cut in July,
August, September and October, for
during the remainder of the year
there is no open water at the point
Of shipment.
What makes this unusual feature
of transporting bulky logs 5000
miles quite feasible is that such un-
manufactured stock is admitted free,
while there is heavy duty on all
manufactured wood brought into
Australia, the duty on lumber, for
instance, being nearly $500 a thous-
and board feet. At Melbourne a
new mill is being erected to manu-
facture these logs into dressed stock,
such as flooring, ceiling and other
products, as we'll as into lumber.
These Siberian operations differ
from the numbering methods In the
United States, in that in this coun-
try it is possible and customary to
have new mills conveniently near
the place of production, though, with
the continually decreasing supply,
the larger mills often find it practi-
cable to haul their timber by trans
and railroads many miles away from
their saws. Forest experts in this
country say that the hope of the
United States for a steady supply of
timber lies in the application OF
forestry to all timber lands, private
and public, and a careful study of
the economical and better utiliza-
ton of the product. Even so, a
severe shortage in twenty-five years
must be expected.
