+. Selecting Proper Fertilizers.

Thousands Of dollars are wasted in
commercial fertilizers every year. not
because the fertilizer is not all right,
but because we do not know whether
the kind we use is the kind our land
needs. 1t is a great study and one
that we must make for ourselves.
Make some simple experiment next
year. Put in a strip with fertilizer YOU
have been in the habit of usin" and
just beside it another without it. This
will be worth a great deal more to
YOU than the opinion of some interest

West of Pennsylvania the situation would be more difficult. Only in the New England states plus New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania many women available for factory work.
 In Connecticut substantially e1nploye in four ployed in factory is But in Wisconson only one employe in nine is a The demand for industrial pursuits greater than the supply through out the entire west
 The difficulty in obtaining workers in Bridgeport is due to the circumstances that the entire available supply is about exhausted
 In Bridgeport thirty per cent of all persons the female under 16 years.
 Above this age there but II 4ss single of all ages
 As early as 1e1o 768e women were already employed in the factories
 Many employed in stores and offices and at other gainful occupations The indications point strongly to the conclusion that the supply of avail able for industrial pursuits in this city must be small
 If conditions of employment improve the number will relatively be smaller. But if the times grow harder that the smaller wages, the number will be greater.
 As general proposition it will be found that that community in which the largest number of working in the factories will be finding most difficult to keep it's skilled workmen.
 The conditions which send large numbers of women workers into the factories the conditions which induce highly skilled to seek better conditions else where.

FISK WINS SUIT
 AGAINST SHORE LINE ELECTRIC co.

In the case of Louis A. Fisk of Branford against the Shore Line Elec- tr;c company, the Connecticut supreme court reverses a decision in favor of the defendant in the lower court and orders the superior court to pass judg- ment in F'isl1's favor This was a suit ever the ownership of property iu North Branford. Fisk secured an option on certain quarry land and a, farm owned by the father of City En- gineer Frederick L. Ford of New Ha- ven, planning to run railroad tracks across it. MT. Fisk built and is now operating a trolley line from Pine Orchard to North Branford. When the time came for MT. Fisk to pur- chase land, MT. Ford informed him that he sold the land, It was dis covered that the property had passed Electric company. F'isk's trolley line and that of the Shore Line company run at right angles to each other and it was claimed that the purchase or this land by the Shore Line was an attempt to block FislS's line. The Shore Line company started to build tracks across the land in dispute and Fisk cnjoined them. The lnJunction was dissolved upon the Shore Line company f1ling a bond of $25,oo0 Al the last session of the legislature the Shore Line company tried to nave bill passed approving the laSout
 their tracks, but this attempt failed. Instead the legislature passed bill approving risks layout. The result of this was that the Shore Line com pany had to finally apply to FISK Tor a. right of way.
 The decision of the supreme court yesterday means that the Shore AAne Egactrfc company must deed over to Fislr the land upon which he had the ontion and will have to purchase the right to cross it from him. They will aet have to remove their tracks, ac- eording to a private agreement re- gently reached.
