 FARM AND sFIRESIDE PONY AR.
 RIVES IN GOOD CONDITION.
 The Shetland pony won by Seeley Jennings of Greenfield Hill in the Crowell Publishing Co. s big pony con test arrived at the epxress station at Southport, Thursday. Numerous in- quiries concerning the pony have been made ever since the great contest last March. Readers throughout this lo- cality will be glad to know that the lit- tie fellow made the journey without a mishap and arrived apparently in the best of health. He is still in his win ter coat having been recently imported by the pony man but his conformation, gait and style are highly satisfactory to his young master who will show him to cart and harness as soon as he gets thoroughly acclimated. Master Jen- nings feels quite proud of the honor of being the only Connecticut boy to win a pony out of a good number of wide awake Nutmeg contestants.

ON S35 A WEEK.


 To the Editor of The New York Times: The sum of S35 a week in a farm district like Bethlehem, one of the best sections of Connecticut, would soon buy a farm of 50 acres, including a small farmhouse. know of one la- borer, a very well educated man from Germany, who has purchased a 5O-acre farm, with house on it, for about $500. He has four children and his wife, and yet his income is only about $400 year. With this he is paying for his place, making improvements on it, has three good cows, pigs, chickens, etc., so, of course, gets his own but ter, milk cheese, eggs, etc.. and in win ter kills hog or two and one COW. He subscribes to several of the farm papers, and in every way is up to the times. He feels that if he receives Sl, 800 year in the city he could not live half as well, and at the end of sev- eral years hard toll would havesssno home to show for his work. His fam fly is growing up strong and healthy. The country towns could we'll stand thousands more such men and ss for the wives and children all that will save hundreds of thousands is the real free air of the open country. - Edwin H. Frost in the New York Times.

PRIMARY LAW REFLECTION.

Editor Hager is disappointed with
the result of the primary election
law as istanced in the nomination of
Johnson for governor at the primar-
les by an overwhelming majority of
the republicans and his subsequent
defeat at the polls. 1t was thought
by good many of the more ardent
advocates of the primary system that
direct nominations would do away al
together with the old bitternessess
and rancors following a convention,
and that the election of a candidate
by direct vote would insure his cleo
tiontfon by the majority party. 1t
appears that this is not the case
but the fault, we take it, is not alto
gether with the primary. A good
manay of the Republicans of the
state at the election preceding the
one recently here took the ground
that it was not wise nor necessary
to abide the will OF a Republican
convention, and that party lines
should not necessarily be drawn in
a state election. Theseeds that were
sown in that election resulted in the
election of a Democratic governor,
and the election of a Democratic
governor resulted in building up a
stronger Democratic machine, the
propagation of a second term senti-
ment in the interest of the Demo-
cratic candidates, and the opportu-
nifty for the Democratic candidate
for governor to go before the peo-
pie in an effective campaign for
reelection.
The passage of primary law does
not at once change the nature of the
voters, especially in times like these
when voters are counseled that If
they want to vote right they should
do that which is unexpected and
out of the ordinary. Neither does
the combination of a senatorial pri-
mary and a general election help to
clear the situation. It breeds party
and fractional rancors, encourages
trading and is destructive to party
unity, and we have little doubt that
If the senatorship had been settled
at the June election, the result at
the general election would have been
different. At any rate the expert
enees and results of the primary
may be beneficial in providing such
amendments as well not operate al
together in favor Of the minority
party in the state.

ARCTIC TEMPERATURES.
Zero Weather Is Regarded as Mild and
Agreeable.

Agreeable.
According to eminent arctic explor-
srs, physical sensations are relative,
and the mere enumeration Of so many
degrees of heat or cold gives no idea
Of their effect upon the system.

have frozen at home in England in a
temperature that he found very COM

election of senators we are getting
into new difficulties and embarrass-

s GOOD ROADS.

A large number of the replies be-
ing received in response to inquiries
sent out by the commission named
some time ago by President Roose-
welt to- discover. what best can be
done to improve farm life condi-
tions, are to the effect that improve
ment of the highways will do much
to better farm conditions. 1t is
entirely true that in many states the
matter of highways has received COM
paratively little attention, and yet
there is nothing more to be desired
than good roads. The number of
really good roads In the state OF
North Dakota is small, and yet a
fairly good road can be constructed
and maintained without recourse
to anything but the natural earth of
the highway. The trouble with our
road system is that the work that
is done upon the roads is done by
those not skilled in the matter OF
road building, much of it is done
hastily and with a view to paying
certain poll tax in work, and in the
end roads are poorly graded, poorly
drained, washed out with every show
er, .rutted and frequently deep with
mud at the times when heavy loads
must be hauled over them. It
would be interesting sometimes to
learn what it actually costs the farm
ers of the state for the transporta-
ton of their grain to the local
warehouse by wagons, as compared
with the cost of the transportation by
rail to the terminal markets. and
what immense sums might be saved
if the roads were in such condition
that double the number of bushels
might be drawn with the same. horse
power. The present system of road
building and maintenance is so far
from perfect and produces such IN
satisfactory results that 1t should
not be difficult to devise better meth
DDS If the matter were given the con-
sideration it should have. -

THE OREGON sENAToRsHIP CASE

THE OREGON SENATORSHIP CASE
Out in Oregon, where they have
senatorial primary law that has re-
suited in the nomination Of a popular
candidate for the senate of the dem:
ocratic faith when the state is strong
" republican steps are being taken
by some of the political leaders inter-
ested to set aside the verdict Of the
primaries and return republican
senator. The argument made is that
a state which returned large plur-
atty for Taft and which has a repub-
fican legislature surely does not want
a democratic senator.
There is a good deal Of virtue in
this argument, and the trouble In
Oregon is with the primary law that
permits legislatures to be bound by a
pledge that, irrespective Of party at
fiIiations, they will vote for the can
didate for the senate receiving the
largest number Of votes. The gov.

the policies which their party has de.

to be made in favor Of the primary

legislators of a certain political

RELIGIOUS ACROBATs.
Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per-
ii formed In India.

Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per-
Al formed In india.
India offers many curious things In
the way of religion, and the strangest
of them all is the aerial slide, which is
performed annually at Kulu, in the
Himalayas. At a point where there is
cliff overhanging a precipitous gorge
several hundred feet in width and a
hundred feet in depth rope is made
fast to the rock. The other end of this
Is carried across the gorge and there,
secured to a stake. The total length
of the rope between the two points is
when drawn taut $500 feet, and the
end attached to the cliff is several hun
Gred feet higher than that fastened on
the opposite side Of the ravine. Thus
slide is contrived, and 1t is danger
GUS one to all appearance.
1t is down this incline that the per-
former has his path. For the lofty
journey sort Of saddle is provided
made of wood, with holes In 1t, through
which the rope passes. But before a
start Is made the whole length Of the
rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from
catching FIRE from the friction. The
performer sits astride this seat, and to
his legs are fastened bags of sand,
which serve two purposes-th enable
him to maintain an upright position
during his lightning-like descent, and
they increase the momentum. The
lower end of the rope is carefully
wound with bits Of carpet to check the
speed before the stake is reached.
Without this precaution the performer
would be dashed to pieces.
The terrific velocity Of the descent
for the first few hundred yards Is
shown by the stream Of smoke that
trails from the wake Of the saddle, de-
spite the fact that the rope has been
wet. Afterward the incline diminishes
somewhat, and the pace becomes CORE
spondingly slower. BY the time the
goal Is reached the jheri, as the per-
former is called, Is able to come to a
standstill without disaster
This slide in the air is supposed to
reveal the will Of the gods as to the
crops Of the approaching season. If
the perilous trip is accomplished In
safety plentiful harvest is assured.
Naturally, therefore, every care is TAX
en- to minimize the dangers Of the per-
formance. The ceremony is Of ancient
origin, and those who engage in it as
jheri form small caste apart New

A MEDFORD STORY.
Legend Of the Phantom Ship and IT'S
Mad Pirate Captain.

legend Of the Phantom Ship and lts
Mad Pirate Captain. +.
The town Of Medford, Mass, has a
legend Of a phantom ship beside which
the Flying Dutchman is only a peace
full merchantmen. The Medford story
runs that a ship laden with rum and
gold and silver bars put out from that
place in the days when the Spanish
main was infested with pirates. 1t
was headed for a West Indian port,
but got into the doldrums and was SO
long becalmed that water and provi-
sions gave out, and all hands persisted
of thirst and starvation. When the
wind came up again the ship sailed
away with her CHASTITY crew, was seen
I.by a buccaneer, chased and over
hauled.
The pirate captain made fast to his
prize without firing a single shot, and,
attributing the vessels nonresistance
to fear or lack Of arms, he was the
first man to leap on board But the
| rope with which the captured ship
had been carelessly dashed to his own
| parted under the strain Of the seaway,
and he found himself rapidly borne
away from his comrades on what he
soon discovered to be floating coffin.
/ A stiff breeze filled the sails Of the
derelict, and before his own vessel
could overtake 1t night descended on
the ocean, and the pursuing ship lost
sight Of 1t altogether. Left alone in
pitch darkness on the grewsome craft,
the pirate went mad with terror and,
selling the wheel, raced away before
the wind and, according to the legend,
| was condemned to range the seas for
ever thus In command Of his horrible
| prize.
