GETTING AIR INTO THE SOIL
Russian Experimenters Claim to Have
Discovered Secret Of Nourish-
ment Of Plants.

A London paper puts forth the fol-
lowing:
The Russian experiments in wheat
growing by which it is claimed 40
tons or more of grain can be grown
to the acre are arousing attention in
many countries.
The conical pits and frequent layers
Of earth are not the only secrets of
the system. These Russian expert
mentors maintain, that they have dis
covered secret of the nourishment
of all plants. They argue that all
the observations resulting from the ex-
perience Of the culture of corn by
s'bushing' shows us that the principal
condition for obtaining good crops de-
Ponds mostly on how much soil can be
.impregnated with air.
Experience will convince that by
the loosening of the layer of the soil
the earth improves in quality and in
creases in weight. This fact gives
us ground to suppose that the parti-
Giles Of air as we'll as water contain
as gases all the elements Of which
the soil consists.
The truth OF the principle has been
acknowledged in some form in Eng
lish text books. but the method of OBJ
tanning the aeration is a Russian dis
covery. and a most. fascinating princir
pie for experiment in any garden. +

THE LICENSED HUNTER.

The licensed hunters of the state, who number fifteen or twenty thou sand, find lean picking in the rural districts.
 By virtue of their license they may hunt for game, but they have no right to trespass, and the extent to which farmers post warnings on their land against trespassers, they must have as much difficulty in hunting game in this part of the state as a Thirst does hunting drink in a dry town.
 The extent to which private woods are ''boarded' may show that the owners are extremely selfish, or that the hunters are an unbearable nuis- ance. The Bulletin suspects that the damage done to walls and fences by hunters, that the bars left down and gates left open, are the cause for the warning signs, Keep Off This Prop srty," rather than any desire on the part of the farmer to kill and market his own wild game.
 Looking the field over, it does seem as if the hunter receives little for his money and finds it rather difficult to do any legal business when he has the hunting permit of the state in his pocket

A LIVE QUESTION.

Notice has really been served upon all political parties by the recent ac- tion of the Connecticut Business Mems association at Waterbury, that the public utilities issue is a live issue and will not down.
 This organization declared anew for an efficient public service commission, to supervise rates, service, condem- nation of land and issuance of stock, and this means that they believe in it and will lend their energies to it's promotion whenever an opportunity offers.
 The next campaign is somewhat dis tant but there are far seeing politi- clans who see both the justice and the opportunity of such a movement in Connecticut and they will not let it die.
 The Ansonia Sentinel hints that the next campaign may have been com- menced before the legislature of 1909 closed, and it says: There were pres ent in that body not a few men whose services will prove valuable in a new contest over the old subject of pub lie utilities, and, as they have already committed themselves, their views. their strength and their weaknesses are pretty well known. Therefore it is pretty thoroughly determined in advance whether or not their re- nomination and reelection is. desira- ble. In view of this, the caucus activ- ities of year hence promise to be well worth experiencing, and the voter will be dull indeed who does not make up his mind that he will do his best to determine the lay of the land in advance, with a view to knowing for what policy, as well as for which man, his vote is to be thrown"
 This simply means that the gum shoe sleuths of both sides are in the field quietly trying to select the rep resentatives and to shape the general assembly of 1911 for the success of this important measure

PLAIN FRocKs GOOD
 TASTE FOR CHILD.

Just now the mothers of girls of school age are confronted with the problem of planning dresses for the little ones.
 Plain frocks are much better taste for the maid Or ten than elaborate dresses.
 A number of the tailored suits have deep yokes to the skirt. This adapta- tion of the styles of adults is also seen in the soats.
 The most exclusive of the shops make a big feature of wash dresses for winter wear. The exclusive set affect a rigid simplicity in the dress ing of the child.
 The washable materials are so att tractive for young girls that where expense need not be considered it is much smarter to follow this plan of dress.
 The English linens come in fascin- ating shades and they respond so read fly to the artistic touch of the en- broidery.
 In hats for young girls beavers take the lead but French felts are also quite popular.
 At the smart shops childrens school hats are extremely simple showing only small bows, small punches of rose buds or a band of silk. Some of the hats have strings tied under the chin.

PROPOSE TO CONDEMN THE AIR

There is no doubt that good deal of air is condemnable, but the air in the open which we breath and think that we own over our property to the blue arch above us is now to be navi- gated and the old theories as to prop erty rights are to be abolished and more definite air lines to be drawn. We are right on the verge of benig re- stricted in our ownership of the blue atmosphere above us. The Aero club of America in discussing the matter | is reported to have suggested that | the states could condemn the air as a i highway and take title to 1t subject l to the right of the land owner to build as high as he likes or to make any other private use he wishes of the air above him.
 This isn't going to be done without some opposition and claims for dam ages, and it is going to make work for the lawyers and courts and ''mu- sic for all the property owners who think that the stars cross their aerial patches and that the limit of their holdings is today undeinable. Air navigation is about to compel defini- tions and limits where there have been none before. But there is no cause for worry since this century is not likely to see this question completely settled

BANNER PLAcARpING.

Banner placarding daily is the new method of political campaigning in New York, and 1t is good and effi cient enough to spread, for the old dummy banner hardly pays it's keep. The people like to see something do- ing every day and when such placards as the following are daily put up to the voters the political arena cannot continue to be dull:
 Get the hookl Anybody can get it for six cents anywhere. The city got the hook from O'Brien & Ryder-sixty cents per hook, five cents per screw.
 Tt took 31 days ($S per day) to put up 165 hooks, total cost, materials and labor $365.1O, cost per hook $2.21
 Adjustable handcuffs. Police de- partment paid $4.75. We paid $2.25.
 'Lath nails. Police department 20 cents. We paid 1 1-2 cents.
 Lost: Below Fulton street, $52. .500 a year. Total water supply 9,500,O0O gallons daily. Total used 5000 900 gal Ions daily. Where does the water go?
 "Spotless Town hall. Municipal building 1 1-2 rooms cleaned per per son employed for the purpose. Park Row building IT. To keep this build ing clean cost $19,707.25 in 1907. The American House & Window Cleaning Co. offers to do it as well as it is be- ing done for $1,5O0 a year"
 Voters sit up and take notice when shown that tax funds are being dis posed of in this way. The people who graft after this fashion should be re- tired from public life and the tempta- tions it offers.

LEFTOVER DISHES.

The few spoonfuls of leftover mashed potato can be used to form the foundation of rice soup. If mixed with cold chopped meat and rice. with an egg and suitable seasoning, they make appetizing croquettes.
 The last spoonful of jelly can be added to pies or cooked prunes.
 A hard boiled egg is useful as long as there is a piece of ti in the house.
 Unpalatable soup meat is made very appetizing when chopped fine and mixed with a small can of salmon to form crOquettes.
 Old bread just now takes its form in breadcrumb cakes. Soak the bread in buttermilk and use flour to thicken the batter.
 A half can of tomatoes can be used to make tomato souffle. Season with salt and pepper, add butter, strain and add a cup of cream. Serve with salt ed crackers.
 A saucer of baked beans can be heated with catsup in pan and spoonful on toasted crackers serves nicely for the monday luncheon.
 Tough steak should be chopped and mixed with diced potatoes and then baked. Cheese grated over this dish improves the flavor.
 odd pieces of fruit, such as one ba- mana, an apple, or an orange, are mixed with lemon gelatine.

JusTIcE BALDWIN.

A great lawyer is wanted as the successor of the late Judge Peckham.
 Chief Justice Baldwin of Connecticut is such a lawyer.
 It is said that the successor of Jus tice Peckham will be a democrat.
 Chief Justice Baldwin is democrat of the highest type and character.
 The supreme court bench is the summit of the legal profession.
 Chief Justice Baldwin is conspicu- ously fitted for place on that summit.
 Almost 70 years old-yes, that's true, but in the full flower of men tai and physical strength.
 Chief Justice Fancy lived to be S9 years old, John Marshall 80. Gabriel Duval 92. Samuel Nelson S1. Noah Swayne 80, Stephen J. Field S3, Will fam Strong S7.
 They were all strong men, but none of them a bit stronger than Chief Jus tice Baldwin.-New Haven Leader.
 This is well said. The whole of eastern Connecticut heartily endorses the, sentiment, every man of us will be glad to add energy to the movement. The qualifications of Chief Justice Baldwin as successor to Judge Peckham would give strength to the supreme court bench and that he would be an honor to his country and his state is self-evident. May President Taft see it in the same light!

When fishnet is woven in heavy silks for the draping of evening gowns its best manipulation is shown by it's use on the bias. All net tunics and shoul- der draperies are more elastic and ap- pear more graceful when thus draped.

It is a nice precaution to cover large shields with silk left-oVers like the lining of your new fall coat and slip stitch the shields firmly in place un- der the arms. They are more neces- sary in the autumn than in winter, and decidedly more in order while the coat is new and it's lining fresh and unspoiled. The pulling in of shields after the damage is done is like clos ing the stable door after the horse is stolen.
