The labor of spreading manure IS greatly essened by
using one of these l. H. c. spreaders. Not only is the
labor lessened, but it is changed into agreeable work
But the strongest for using H. c. spreader
the increased value you get out of the manure The
best authorities agree that manure spread by an H. G.
spreader has least double the value of manure spread
by hand.
The l. H. c. spreaders puverize and make the manure

as thin may be required The is placed upon
the ground condition that is at available for
plant life. All is washed by the first shower into the

The good effects upon the crop immediate and the
permanent benefit the land is greater than when the
manure is spread by hand There is no question but
that land manfred by an H. c. manure spreader will
give increased yield of from two to ten bushels per
acre over land where manure is spread by hand
Consider the labor saved. the agreeable work,

CURTISS IN FINE FLIGHT VIEWED
 BY THOUSANDS

New York, July 17.-Drfving his
 aeroplane, the Goldbug. about Hemp
 stead Plains on Long Islands near
 Mineola at a speed of fifty miles an hour Glenn H. Curtiss, the Hammonds-
 port adventurer covered slightly over o'clock this morning and Curtiss show
 ed that he had his machine under per- feet control.
 'I could have travelled still further had the gasoline held out,' he declared.
 Its as easy as running an automo- bile"
 Curtiss is preparing himself to repre- sent America in the International France Nearly two thousand persons
 witnessed his flight this morning. Shortly after 5:30 Curtiss ran his ma- chine at high speed along the ground.
 Leaning forward he tilted the planes of his aeroplane and scared into the i air like a giant bird. = For four miles he sped straightaway and then turned toward the starting point, carrying his machine to an alti- tude of sixty feet in the air, descend | soaring back again. Right and left he
 turned. Then to show his control he
 began turning in short circles, going
 up and down at will. Apparently CurtisS could nave kept his machine in the air all day.
 'tThe machine in which I flew to- day is a new one. I have completed another one at Hammondsport. It is | bigger than this little aeroplane. It hasn't been tuned up yet and I will | not attempt flights in it for a little
 while. leave with it in two weeks
 for Rheims where I believe I will be | able to win the prize for America" | Curtiss' record of this morning,
 which is authenticated by the officials | of the Aero Club of America who were
 present, qualities him for the trophy offered by the Scientific American for
 vided the flight is of more than Is at1niIes duration. Curtiss will make no fmore flights at Hampstead Plains, but Twill go at once to Hammondsport to tune up and experiment with his new
 machine with which he hopes to bring
 back the international prize from Rheims

ELECTRIC BILL x REPEAL AT HAND
But Latest Information In- dicates that the String Is Still Attached.

The Farmer has received the follow ing despatch from the correspondent of the nited Press in Hartford:
 Hartford. July 1.-The judiciary com rnittee expects to report next week a bill which will repeal chapter 39l6 Of the General Statutes, the much-dls- cussed electricity law, which forbids private individual or corporation sell ing his excess of electricity to another. It is not true that substitute meas ure has been drafted or that the com mittee has definitely settled its course but there is every reason to believe that it will report a measure to ac- complish what the substitute offered it by States Attorney Stiles Judson of Fairfield County did, abolish the pres ent law which has been universally
 condemned by the press of the state.
 The judiciary committee voted In executive session on this matter three or four weeks ago at that time the report which got abroad that 1t hao decided on a repeal of the existing law was correct. There were ten or the eleven members of the committee present when the vote was taken and the result was a tie, to 5, but there was no sentiment in favor Of making the existing statute stronger ana more restrictive, as had been desired py the interests back of it. One of the five
 members who voted against the repeal decided to change his vote and this gave the proposition a majority Of the committee even if the remaining mem bers were to be present and vote against the measure.
 The bill covering the simple repea was prepared and was to have been reported ere this. Meantime the lob- byists back of the measures introduced by Senator Holzer of Bridgeport, by request, Senate bills POP, 2O3 and 2o4 have been exceedingly active and nave stirred all the dissension possible among the members of the judiciary commit tee. The committee, however. is deter mined to report a repeal of chapter 3e16 and expects to do it either Tues day or Wednesday of next week. The repeal will be in the nature of a fresh
 bill and will be substituted for either one of the three bills mentioned. IT this form it's enemies will not be able
 to prevent its receipt by the Senate or the ground that it is new business
 The judiciary committee has a right to originate a bill and such measure would not be new business under ths rules. The substitution of commit tee bfll for another is done every legis- | lative day at this end of the session. The House, it is believed, stands ready to pass the repeal after tht Senate has taken that action whicl
 there is little doubt it will do.

floor. Elevator service will be pro- vided for the men.
 On the south side of the building there will be seven large coiling steel doors opening upon IA tracks. Some of these tracks will be for the storage of cars and the others will run into the truck shop. paint shop, and car- penter shops.
 Off from the tracks there will be a blacksmith shop, armature room, a machine shop, and the office of the master mechanic. There will be noth- ing in car building, or repairing line, that cannot be done in this city.
 Although the big building is called a barn it will be heated. A huge hot air blast system will be installed. The blast system will enable the workmen to get rid of every particle of snow and ice that is on the cars at the end of the day. With huge circular fans the hot air will be forced through the barn and inside of an hour the damp floors of the cars will be dried and the ice on steps and floors melted away.
 Blakeslee & Sons started work on the barn over a year ago, but were held up by the differences between the company and the city as to where the tracks should cross the sidewalks.
