O, sters Must Not Be Fed

Oysters can no longer be fed-or as the trade term goes ''hOated in brackish water"-before they are offered for sale. The department of agriculture has ordered that the practice must stop at once. The order affects all the oyster trade in the United States and is of immense importance to dealers,
 Recently the department gave hear ing to the oystermen who maintained that the quality of the oyster is inn proved by the floating process. The de- parrment of agriculture, however, holds that to float an oyster after it is taken from its bed, provides means for the oyster to take in contamination from the water and offers risk of typhoid.
 Oystermen from the New Jersey beds came in an organization 200 strong to Washington few weeks ago to protest against the order, claiming that its en- forcement wonld mean their ruin.

LEGAL TO CATCH TROUT
Law is off Until July I. But There Are
 Restrictions. 2

Restrictions.
 The trout law is off now until July 1. The laws governing the taking and handling of trout iu this state are now about as strict as those governing the control of the men who handle gold bars in the United States mint.
 For instance, many streams are pro- tected from the onslaughts of miscellane- ous fishermen by private legislative acts; no man can catch trout and sell them; no common carrier can carry above 10 pounts of trout and then only if the owner is with them; no man can catch more than 30 trout per day. nor retain one less than six inches in length, and no one can sell trout to be eaten out of the state The penalties range from $1 to $50 with costs.
 AS to who can sell trout to hotels and eating houses the law is equally explicits It provides that such seller must be 8 man who reared such fish. No other eau buy, sell Or offer such fish and the law adds that every person who violates this provision of the law "shall be pun ishable by fine of not less than $1 and not more than $50 aud that the buying, selling or offering of each fish shall be deemed separate offense.' A heavy fine is also imposed upon vio- lations of the close season now in effect on pickerel, which is III existence until April 30.
 [ It is expected that the game wardens will have to make number of arrests this spring in enforcing the provisions of the trout law.

OLD CORNWALL

The Cornwall correspondent to THE NEWS of April 4, 1873. stated: :" All towns have their claims for public, attention, and for the town of Cornwall we claim that it is the oldest town in existence. Since the recent thaw has settled the snow on the hills, several eminent geo. logists have been making observations, and found that the town of Cornwall was in being several thousand years pre- vious to the creation of the earth. and that the people lived in balloons while the earth was in process of construction. It has also been found that the material of which the town of Babel was built came largely from Cornwall"

FARMERS REQUIRE MONEY
Agricultural Credit is in Need Of De-
 velopment in This Country.

velopment in This Country.
 One of the difficulties confronting the American farmer is the need of agricul- tural credit. By this mean short time credit, similar in degree to the credit of commerce, as distinguished from long time credit or mortgage loans. While the latter form of credit has had an ex- tensive development in this country, agricultural credit, as such, is virtually non-existent, and the American farmer has been forced to depend for his annual working capital upon the generosity of neighbors, the forbearanoe of the local storekeeper or the cupidiEy of the usurer.
 In this respect we are far outdistanced not only by continental Europe, but by some non- European countries as well. h Egypt, for instance, the agricultural bank of Egypt had in the year 1906 out standing l85.000 loans, aggregating to $35, 900, 900, principally in sums ranging from S2.50 to $100. In Germany, where agricultural credit has probably reached it's highest development there were in the year 1905 over 13, ,O00 "Raiffeisen Go. operative Banks scattered throughout the country. The 10000 banks, which belonged to the Central Union then, had a membership of close to 10000 to whom loans aggregatiug to $l15,000 900 were granted that year.
 In many cases of local farmers some form of agricultural credit is of prime importance. With the approach of spring the farmer is at his wits ends to find the wherewithal for seed, fertilizer and general spring work. If he is hampored in his spring work, he not only loses that season, but is frequently handi- capped for some time to come. It may also happen that he loses a COW, or he may be short of funds when payment on 5 mortgage falls due X moderate loan to tide him over until he can mar ket his crops. obtainable without red tape and at no expense, is what contingencies demand City banks are for obvious req sons in no position to grant loans of this
 
 nature at the present time. They are too far distant from the farmer to possess knowledge of the character and needs of the individual aud can not attend to his application without resorting to a special investigation which would be slow and expensive Moreover, their interests do not permit the Ioaning of money on per sonal credit. ~ r,
 It is therefore planned to establish 8 cooperative local credit fund which will enable the farmer whose reputation is good to borrow when in need. with little trouble and at moderate rate of interest. This will strengthen the local community and if it proves successful others are bound to follow.-Newtown Rec

OLD INDIAN FORT SITES
Rev. pr. Love of Hartford Has Located
 Q Number of Them

Rev. pr. Love of Hartford Has Located
 Number of Them
 Rev. Dr. William DeLoss Love read paper on "Indian Forts and 'Pequot Heads in Early Hartford" at the meet ing of the Connecticut Historical Society held Tuesday evening in the Atheneum Annex. Hartford. Tho tract of land west of Riverside Park, known as Soldiers Field, Dr. Love identified as the original site of the village of Suck iaug Indians. Here they lived until after the Pequot War, when they moved to the South Meadow. In the latter place, an Indian fort was built in 1883 near the Dutch House of Hope. Dr. Love traced the history of the South Meadow down to tho present time. and proved by deeds and wills that there was formerly an Indian ford there. When Sequassen and his people re- moved from the site of Soldiers Field to the South Meadow, their tract was located southwest of the fort tract.
 Dr. Love located another fort on the banks of the Hockanum River, by deeds, and still another in Podunk. "Pequot Heads" near the present site of Colts factory, Dr. Love believed to be the place where the Indians, after their cus- tom, hung upon poles the scalps of Indians taken in the Pequot War. Dr. Love also showed Tn his paper that the land where the Dutch House of Hope. the old Indian fort, and "Pequot Heads" were located, is now owned in part by the oity of Hartford.

MORE STATE ROADS
 FOR NORTH CANAAN
BUT THE STATE PAYS THE BILLS
Improvements on the Upper Road to East Canaan to be Carried on Under the Supervision of the State High way Commissioner.

"aI
 At the last town meeting in North Canaan the vote on the state road ques- tion was almost unanimous against the expenditure of more of the towns money for the building of state roads and this has i'd ms,.v to believe that there would be lao more stat, roads built here The fact that surveyors began work on the upp,r road Tuesday, preparatory to ox- tending the state road eastward, has caused considerable comment from those who are not thoroughly familiar with the matter The facts are, the state roads are to be constructed. as trunk lines, by the state. and the state pays the bills as is exp aimed in chapter 135, section 1, of the public acts, passed in the last general assembly, from which we quote: "The highway commissioner shall have the right to enter any town in the state and lay out. extend. and inn prove my highway in said town, as a trunk line. extending and improving such highway whenever Tn his judgment, the interests of the state require such action in connection with the trunk line system now under construction; and the comptroller, upon receipt of certi- ficate from the highway commissioner, shall pay for the improvement of the said section or sections; provided. how ever, that said sums so expended prior to September 30, 1913. shall not exceed in the aggregate one million five hundred thouS sand dollars, and the same slnll b, paid hv tho state, and shall inclnd. all trun- Lacs waich have been uo.n eLatl. are in process of construction or to be constructed, under the provisions of this section"
 After these roads are constructed, the town must stand one-fourth the expense of k}ooing them in repair, tho state pay ing the remaining three-fourths, as pro- vided for in chapter 135, section g. Wheueyer.a n road shall be constructed in any town under the provisions of this act, or has heretofore been constructed under previous statutes relating to good rIads und'r which state aid has been granted. the highway commissioner shall hereafter keep all such roads in proper repair, and shall have the right 10 en;er any town in which the state has constructed any road and make what ever repairs, in his judgment, are neces. sary, aud he shall file with the said town statement of the cost or expense of making said repairs, and said town in which said repairs have been made shall, in accordance with the certificate of ex. pense furnished by said highway com missioner, reimburse the state to the ex. tent of one-fourth of the cost of said re- pairs"
