No trouble or expense will be spared in putting this road in a first class state of repairs in so far as the State road is concerned.
 II have been in conference with the selectmen relative to the stretch of road in Darien, with the result that the town and State will cooperate in redeeming that road from the scondi- ton 1t has been in during the past several months. Before the State can enter upon the road, the town has tt, put the highway in passable condition and then install about 1,500 feet of drainage sewer to take care of the watershed at that point. >Akter that has been done the State will enter up- on the road and see that it is put in first class condition"
 It Is understood that the New York highway authorities will do their part to repair the Boston post road to the Connecticut State line, so that during the summer this popular road should be ih the best of condition to with stand the heavy traffic which it con- stantly receives.

RA7TLERS MAKING MERRY AT NEWS OF HuNTERS' LETHARGY
SCHAGHTICOKE INDIANS TELL, STORY OF WEIRD FEAST IN
 REPTILES DEN.
Special to The Farmer). .

NSPeClal to The HdTmer)s M
 Kent, Conn. June 3-Indians from reservation brought a remarkable story to the natives oi this town today, dealing with the fam ous rattfesnake den in a cleft of Schaghticoke mountain just west of here.
 Yesterday the reservation was peaceful and quiet when suddenly a gentle wind blowing over the noun tains brought a weird noise which the older Indians promptly recognized as a chorus of rattlesnakes in violent activity.
 Young Hen Pan, who aspires to the dignity of chief of the few remaining Schaghtic0kes. furnished the solution of the strange disturbance. He had received from Dick Howell, the pres- ident of the Rattlesnake club a let ter written on parchment made from the skin of rattler, telling him that the Schaghticoke Rattlesnake club had decided to suspend activities for this season.
 Pan flung the parchment from his wigwam and when he looked about the place later he discovered that 1t had vanished from the greensward. He says the parchment was taken in- to the mountain by a vagrant rattler and that the news of the abandon ment for this year of the annual rat tlesnalke hunt occasioned such wide spread rejoicing among the reptiles that they began to celebrate by rat tling enthusiastically.
 Here Is the letter received from Dick Howell:
 Dear Brother:-
 Owing to this being presidential year, the annual hunt of the Schagh- ticoke Rattlesnake Club will not be held. as presidential years are bad fob snakes But along about the first of June, 1913, when the June brides blossom ard the Schaghticoke Indian is in full bloom of all her bucolic beauty we will have hunt. and it will be a hunt greater than all others of the nine seasons past.
