STORM SEWERS.

The week Of heavy and almost con-
tinuous rain which Bridgeport has
recently experienced, and in which the
present sewer system contrfved to
carry off the immense flow of water
with very little inconvience to the city
has afforded Zalmon Goodsell an op-
portunity Of making an excellent point
against the feature of the Herring plan
which has most excited the doubts of
his fellow citizens, no city has yet
been able to build sewers large enough
to take care of cloudbursts or any
flooding which may arise from an abb
normal quantity Of rain. All they
have attempted to do is to provide for
ordinary needs. Highly exceptional
visitations are beyond the scope. He
therefore regards the Herring propo-
sal to provide special storm sewers
to carry off any overplus of rain water
as imposing an altogether unnecessary
expense upon property holders. The
cost of such extra sewers would be
very great and the building of them
would inflict much hardship upon
people of slender means.
Even this might be endured if the
cause of health were in any way SUBJ
served by the change But Mr.. Good
sell believes that the absence of rain
water to flush the sewers which con-
TAIN lOuSeSIlOlu WASTES WOulu u6clQ-
edly impair the sanitation of the city.
Few who have noticed the prevalence
of Aforementioned diseases in dry
seasons and the emanationS which are
apt to proceed from drains of all
kinds at such periods, will doubt the
cogency of this argument. In at
tempting to provide for remote con-
tingencies. the city would undoubt-
edly expose itself to constant and GER
tain dangers.
Upon close examination, the main
defect of the Herring scheme appears
to be that it is planned upon too am
bilious a scale for city of the size
and character of Bridgeport. 1t evil
IDENTIFY needs reconsideration in view
OF some recent problems which have
presented themselves since it was
made. Although money spent upon
good sewers@is money we'll invested,
the cost of the Herring system bids
fair to be a formfdble one. Before
abiding by decision which was
somewhat hastily arrived at. it would
be well for Bridgeport to reopen the
case and dispassionateiy regard it in
all its aspects.-Telegram Sept. 9Th.

"TIE ARRIVAL OF KITTY.

What should prove one Of the most
noteworthy of the guaranteed offer
ings Of the present theatrical season,
will be the presentation of that bright
est of all musical comedies, 1.-The Ar
rival of Kitty, which comes to the
Park Theatre next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, with Wednesday mat
inee. ''The Arrival Of Kitty is a
musical farce, pure and simple. but a
very funny one and the audience is
kept In a roar of laughter from start
to finish. There are many situations
that tumble one on top of another,
and each seems even more funny than
the one before. From one absurd
predicament to another, to jump from
the frying pan into the fire Is the
rule. Not alone is there the snappy
dialogue, but up-to-date songs and
dances gy the brilliant company and
the pretty girls, that gives the per-
Torrance a snap and vim equal to
any musical comedy production.

Value OF A Separator.

NO dairyman can afford to be
without some good separator. A
separator will remove practically
all the butter-fat from the milk
While the old method of skim
ming may leave as much as 25
per cent OF all the butter-fat in
the skim milk. Butter-fat is
certainly too expensive for hog
1000. Any good hand separator
Will leave less than five one-hun-
dredths of one per cent of butter
Tat IN the skim milk and thus
Will effect a saving of from $4.5C
TO S8 per month per COW over the
OLD fashioned gravity systems of
Dreaming. In addition to this it
IS well to bear in mind that with
a hand separator a richer and
better cream can be SKINNED and
that the skim milk can by this
system be fed Immediately while
still IN a warm sweet condition.
In selecting the separator the
farmer should use the same good
Judgment that is so necessary in
the selection of any kind of ma
chlnery. From a practical stand
point there is but little difference
in the Swimming efficiency of any
of the standard makes of centrif-
ugal separators now on the mark
ct. Durability, ease of running,
ease with which they are clean
ed, are the points of primary i'm
portance in buying a new sepa-
rator. There are many cheaply
constructed machines now on the
market that are dear at any
price, and with which the dairy
man cannot afford to take any
chances.

not be permitted to be attached to the
posts. but the guiding directions are
to be painted in black letters on the
posts. AS the posts to which the mail
boxes are to be attached must be set
in an easily accessible position, so as
to facilitate the work Of the rural car
rier, the department recommends that
the boxes be fastened to n projecting
arm of wood or to bracket of band
iron about three-sixteenths of an inch
thick. or, if preferred. an automatic
extension arm may be used.
In speaking OF the subject General
DeGraw says: I'VE want our rural
posts and boxes to look as though
they really represented a government
service. This will do more to protect
them from marauders than anything
else Then. again. with the names Of

N. P. Publishes Census Figures.

The Northern Pacific has just
produced a 72-page booklet con-
tanning the complete 1910 census
figures for the seven northwest
ern states traversed by it's lines:
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon. The booklet
shows the population of all in
corporated cities, towns and vii
lagos in these states for 1890,
1900 and 1910. In the rear of
the booklet are also given sum-
maries of agricultural and in
dustrial statistics for the seven
states. Another table shows
population of all the cities in the
country having over $4,000, to-
gether with the population of
the 10 largest cities in the world.
According to the booklet, the
total percentage of increase of
all the United States in the last
10 years was Fl per cent, while
the total percentage of increase
of the seven northwestern states
in the same 10 years was 81 per
cent. This shows the greater
degree of development which has
taken place in the northwest
than in the other portions of the
country.
A copy of the booklet may be
obtained on request of the Cen
eral Passenger Office of the
Northern Pacific Railway at ST..

Postoffiee Urges Farmers to Help Pro-

The postoffice department, at the
suggestion of Fourth Assistant Post
master General p. V. DeGraw, has is
sued circulars to postmasters from
whose Offices rural routes are served,
as well as those whose Offices are not
FAR distant therefrom, informing them
that it is the desire Of the depart
ment that all patrons of rural delivery
be urged to set up neat posts to which
their mail boxes should be attached
and to paint both boxes and posts
white.
This, it is argued. will tend to secure
uniformity and at the same time to
serve notice that the box Is under the
protection Of the laws which regulate
the mail service. In addition. the pa
irons are urged to paint their names
and box numbers In black letters two
inches high on the boxes. This win
serve the same purpose as the front
door plate in the city and make 1t

OATS AND CANADA PEAS.
Best Green Crop to Follow Clover.
Sow Early In Spring.


Sow Early In Spring.
In his bulletin on green crops for
summer soiling J. b. Lindsey of the
Massachusetts station says that oats
and Canada field peas make the best
green crop to follow clover. Generally
it is advisable to make three sowings.
the first early as possible in the spring.
the second and third fifteen and thirty
days later.
One and one-half bushels each of the
oats and peas is the usual quantity to
the acre. They both may be sown
broadcast at the same time after the
land is plowed and thoroughly har-
rowed in with wheel harrow. or the
peas may be first sown and four or
five days later the oats. the latter be-
ing covered with an Acme or similar
harrow. The first sowing will be
ready about June %. and the cutting
should begin as soon as the oats show
the head.
The average yield from the second
and third sowings is likely to be heavy.
as the crop natures more quickly dur
ing warm weather. Oats and peas
will remain in condition to cut for ten
or twelve days. The average cow will
consume from fifty TO eighty pounds
daily until that feed becomes tough.
One-third of an acre will generally
furnish ten cows with sufficient green
feed for twelve days. This is figured
on a basis from forty to fifty pounds
per day in the case of average sized
cows, with ten pounds of hay.
Professor Lindsey does not consider
J. wise to feed more than this amount
Of coarse green feeds daily for the rea-
son that an excess produces an ex-
ceedingly laxative condition of the
bowels. Animals fed In excess of fifty
pounds are likely to become noticeably
thin in flesh. In addition to the hay
and green fodder. be believes 1t will
usually prove economical to feed from
four to seven quarts of grain mixture
composed Of one twenty-fifth part OF
bran and one part Of -four middlings
and gluten feed
