 Now that the movement for the improvement of the Boston Post road has taken definite shape, it is propos- ed to continue the taking of a poll of public opinion and extending the cam paign throughout the state with a view to ultimately continuing the im- proved pavement east and northeast from New Haven. For in the con struction of a highway between New York and. Boston, it would only be natural that branches should be built east of New Haven, the one leading via Hartford to Springfield. the other via NeM London toward Providence. For the end west of New Haven, it has been estimated roughly that a million five hundred thousand dol lars would be necessary and 1t is proposed to bond the state for this Men of good business judgment believe that it would be feasible thing to do, especially if the state would cease further to build the macadan and turn the money that is now wasted to more permanent usefulness.

GREAT ADVANTAGE
IN ANY ROTATION
Barnyard Manure Applied to Crop
viii Give Largest Re-
turns.

A great advantage in a rotation is
that barnyard manure applied TO the
crop that will give the largest returns
for the application, rather than TO the
field most in need of manure, ire
spective of the crop grown. 1t has
been demonstrated often enough that
manure applied to root al q corn crops
will be effective not only for the fol-
lowing grain and hay crops, but more
of its fertilizing elements are used in
profitable production than If applied
directly to the grain crops.
OF course, it is not the best policy to
stick to ore rotation for too long a
period. On most of our farms a short
rotation at first might very profitably
be followed by q longer one, as the
fertility of the field is increased.
AS a sample the following common
four-year rotation may be cited:
First Year--Hoed crops; Roots
corn. potatoes; balance of the
quarter section in peas or rape. Ma.
nure applied to this section.
Second Year-Grain.
Third 4ear-Hay tcloyer).
Fourth Iaar-Hay and pasture.
A study Of this rotation will show
that It is in accord with the principles
of rotation. First hoed crops. fairly
deep feeders, allowing cultivation and
cleaning Of the land. and adapted to

nure: second. the grain. shallower
feeders, on a mellow seed bed, and

MEANING OF FAT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that wnen-
ever a prominent person dies, espe-
cially If he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Elk
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man?
Ever since flags were used In war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds.
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the great
conqueror Of all-the angel Of death.
