A CONNECTICUT OPPORTUNITY.

The states making up the New Eng 1asld section are generally looked upon as manufacturing states and they are to a very large extent, the value Of their manufactured products running up into the billions, but it is nevertheless a section of the country where there still remains plenty of opportunity for greater development of agricultural pursuits. Many are the instances of what can actually be done with New England soil It may have been culti- vated longer but 1t is possessed Of great possibilities yet under right treatment.
 Regarding Connecticut Chairman Elliott of the. New Haven road in a recent address declared that "She has $517, ,080, GOO of capital engaged in man. ufacturing and the manufacturing pro- duct is valued at s4so, ,00O,00o Agri- ctllturalIy she stands second to Maine and Massachusetts in the value of her crops, and the value of her farms have increased over forty per cent. in the last census period. Her con- sumption of food products amounts to ss0,000,00O a. year. but she produces less than $2e,000,0o0, so that this state presents 8 great opportunity for the energetic farmer"
 There can be no doubt but what Connecticut can do more with it's till able and unused land than it is doing at the present tine That such is rec ognfzed Is indicated by the increased farm value within the last ten years, but such should be continued. until Connecticut produces nearer the amount Of food products it requires. If the possibility exists it should be recognized and improved.

 ''Mercy, goodness!" was the greeting given this piece of news by Mrs. Chap bark. Whom to? And with her nose. saw a girl with less Idea of style! Who on earth told ypu?''

THE PENSION COST.

One side of the tremendous cost of war is disclosed by the announce ment by the commissioner of pensions that the expenditures for this purpose in the last year in that department reach & total of over 172 million dol lars. Ordinarily the current expense involved, the lives lost and the desola- ton caused are thought of when the cost of war is considered, but here it is nearly fifty years since the Civil war closed and yet this country is paying an enormous sum each year as a result thereof.
 By the commissioners report the opinion is expressed that the time has arrived when such annual expenditure win continue to show a. decrease. His last figures record a drop of two mill lion from the highest figures and he has hopes that it indicates the arrival of the time when such amounts will decrease instead of increase. Such a point 1t was thought had been reach ed when the fifty million dollar mark was passed thirty or more years ago but since then it has more than tripled, jumping ahead many millions at 8 time after the same feeling of having reached the limit had been expressed.
 Whether or not it is a turning point, for such must be reached within few years, the great expense which this country has been to in adminis- terfng aid and relief since the great internal conflict, Is one of the great lessons against war. It is cost which may not be thought of in the heat of passion, but it exists long af- ter the making of peace as a drain upon the resources of & country.

FoReer FIRE PREVENTION

q. Tke action which has been taken as1 the governor of Massachusetts, in StnpUing ell hunting until there has sboBn sufficient rain to overcome the preeenf extremely dry condition in the wOods, ts in accordance with the de- 1nauds of tho situation. It is a fire tpxeventfve measure which is made nscessary by the drought and the ab- seDcs Of caution which Is too preva- lent among the frequenters of wood land.
 1assachusetts Is not the only state which is experiencing the harmful re- Isults Of forest fires for from one end to the other of Connecticut the coun- ftryside is engaged in fighting the destructive and dangerous progress of such fires While the hunters are not tho only people who travel through sthe woods causing fires, and>all hunt CTS are by no means guilty of such negligence, yet the most effective method of overcoming such 1oss as is bound to follow, is by the exertion of every means of prevention. Hunt ing being stopped, an important ob- 1sct of visiting the woods is removed and without such frequenters, until She drought Is broken. whatever care- iAHDofkUSS tAcy dIS I0tspOuS1pI6 TOT Is checked, just as long as the danger from the finder like leaves and under brush exists.
 Forest fires not only demand the use
 o1 much time in fighting them, which
 cen be well utilized in other ways just now. but they endanger dwellings and other property, and destroy valuable timber in various stages of growth. If the state can afford the owners of
 woodsa9d any additional protection by
 aiding preventton, now is the time to
 do 1t. Massachusetts has set a good
