The Hartford Times printed the fol- lowing last evening from its Wash- inston eorrespohdent:
 There is a pretty strong suspicion here that since Congressman Hill had a sharp controversy on the floor of the houee of representatives with Con- 9ressrnan Reilly, the former has been trying to find out who was the Con- pecticut postmaster that gave the ip- formation to Reilly, that information being to the effect that Congressman FIJI had been saying unfair and un- Kind things about Reilly to the post masters at what was supposed to be a sort of secret convention or confer ence of these same Connecticut post masters.
 Ons thing can be depended upon that there will be no hint from Con- RFeesrfan Reilly as to who was the in- oiVidual who gave him the tip. on what Hill said of him before the post masters. Reilly isn't that kind. But sornething to say, by and by, on the political stump in Connecticut, un- deubtedly, about the charge of Hill going through Connecticut speaking at secret conferences of postmasters and trying to line such federal officials up against the Democratic national ticket when such postEna6tere should
 
 their respective postoffices for which work the government pays them very handsomely. 1t was said here that Congressman Hill has not given up the hope of being ble to land the off, lending postmaster.
 The friends of Congressman Reilly and Cougressman Tiison, as well as those of Congressman Hill, are today speeuiating on the chances of these three we'll known Connecticut leaders returning to Washington as a result of the coming election.
 The many trips that Congressman TilRrn has taken into Connecticut of late are not called here vacation trips by any means. Those who know Til son and who are familiar with his caRpaiGn plans, express the opinion that on every occasion recently when he has been up in Connecticut he has been there for the express purpose of talking over with his friends his plans for getting back to Washington in the next election.

This was the statement of Hubert H.
Heath, a well known farmer of the Nc
Neal neighbOrhood, in answer to the
statement of local motorists that pub
lie roads are being fenced up.
The law of eminent domain applies
to this point, and we intend to prove
that it does. 1t may be necessary for
a few public officers before we can
put it through.
To reason the matter out, why
should we have our land cut to pieces
by the present poor system of roads2
We have taken up the land from the
government and commenced to prove
up on it After a year or two the
county surveyor comes along makes
a survey and declares the ram I,iSii1

We farmers say that this will not
stand in law. 1t makes no difference
whether the land is fenced or unfenced
the law of eminent domain must be
invoked to get right of way across it.

4 Il desirable to double disc the
ground at once. 1t VIII pay well TO
disc Immediately behind the binder or
header. If after the binder, the bun
dies would be thrown off on disced
ground. The sooner this work is done
after harvest, the better. Every days
delay means that more moisture is
lost.
In case the discing has been done
in time, the ground can be plowed at
any time later. Some will say, why
not begin blowing at once, instead of
wasting time discing?" This would be
all right if we could hold the moisture
long enough; but usually one or two
weeks hot. dry weather after harvest
will dry out the ground too much for
blowing The disc wilt cover the
ground quickly and will insure holding
the moisture until we have time to
complete the blowing.
There is no question but that wheat
