On Tuesday, Miss Todd spoke at Meriden and on Wednesday she was ill Bridge port where she spoke twice once in the afternoon i'll the tea room of the Strat- field, and again in the evening in Citi- zens' Hall. This evening there is to be meeting at Ellington under the auspices of Mrs. Maude Kimball, who has taken great interest in Miss Todd's suffrage tour and who was de- termined that the people of her town would have an opportunity of hearing her Tomorrow also Miss Todd is scheduled to speak twice-in the after noon at Branford in Redmond Hall and in the evening at the Town Hall in Guilford. The Guilford meeting is under the auspices of the Gujlfcrd Equal Franchise League whose presi- dent is Mrs. Blanche Hammond Ives, well known for her contributions to the newspapers and magazines.
 On Sunday, Miss Todd will speak twice in New Haven, and it is expected that there will be crowded meetings for each of her addresses.

The New Haven Equel Franchise Lea que is sponsor for these meetings; but unfortunately Mrs. Carlos r. Stoddard, the president, who is exceedingly popu- lar either as a speaker or as presiding officer, has been obliged to go south for her health, and will therefore be unable to be present. Press Sec:

The "BuII.n

The origin of the word ''bull'' as the definition of a confused utterance is doubtful. Some philologists say it comes from the French boule-"fraud'' and others that it is derived from the Icelandic bull-"nonsense." Many definitions have been attempted, but the best probably is that of Sydney Smith. Writing of the difference be- tween wit and bulls" he says: wit discovers real relations that are ap- parent; bulls admit apparent relations that are not real. The stronger the apparent connection and the more com plete the real disconnection of the ideas the greater the surprise aud the better the bull"

Con-.

The results of the campaign, inau- gurated by the Connecticut Associa- ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage to obtain wider publicity for its activities and purposes, are beginning to show not only in the increased membership in the organization but in club circles about the state. At recent debate in Bridgeport before the Philosophical Club no less than 150 people voted fol- lowing the presentation of the argu- ments pro-and anti-suffrage. The anti-suffrage side was ably presented by Mrs. Grace Goodwin of Litchfield to the audience which, as shown by the vote at the start, was overwhelmingly in favor of woman suffrage. During the progress of the debate a number of people entered the hall and participated in the ballot taken after the close of the debate, increasing the apparent majority for suffrage, but with the "anti" vote standing staunchly by their opinion to the end.
 The organization opposed to woman suffrage here is greatly pleased. with the innovation, regardless of the out come, for the aim is but to set before the people of the state the purposes of their organization and to present to the public some of the many arguments against woman suffrage. The presen- tation of these arguments from the public forum or platform accomplishes the purpose for which the campain is begun.
 Arrangements are being completed for meeting in Lyme, at which Mrs. William B. Williams, of Hartford, will speak. and the board of governors are busy making plans for other meet ings to be held in different parts of the state later in the winter

A Great Railroad System.

In a recent address before the Boston Art Club. President Elliott said:
 ''In spite of the breaking up of the New Haven system as it existed two years ago, the present New Haven is u wonderful factory for producing transportation. Its magnitude is some times not realized by those who are dependent upon it for much of their daily comfort and we'll. being. In it there are 600. 969 tons of rail, enough to make twenty-two battleships like the Nevada. It would take a 400-ton blast furnace five years, five months and twenty five days to produce the iron necessary for this amount of rail, and it would take 1, 1,500-ton rolling mill 400 days to roll the rail. These rails would go 9,807 miles, or 39 per cent. of the distance around the earth at the equator.
 "There are about 14, LOGO, 900 ties in the raihoad, and it would take 45, 500 acres of timber land like the average in western Connecticut ten years to produce the necessary amount of timber. and these, if placed end to end, would measure 20, 783 miles, or S3 per cent. of the distance around the earth.
 "The freight cars on the New Haven road move nearly 29, 900 miles per hour passenger cars about 10000 miles and locomotives nearly $500 miles per hour.
 "The Company has approximately 1000 security holders, employs over 36, 900 people, and pays out in wages more than thirty million dollars year.
 ''It sells about 271, 900 tickets a day and handles nearly 50,000 separate pieces of freight, and in addition fur nishes mail and express facilities for thousands of people,"

Jay;stW. Bliss. State engineer, has
compiled the following data showing
the amount Of funds that will be avail
able for road and bridge work in the
state for the season Of 1916. The fig
ures are based ON the returns made BY
the county auditors and are complete
with the. exceptions Of Bowman and
Eddy counties. The total amount av-
valuable will be ,~$2,7ll,2e5, and is
made up Of $614,sos county road funds
-$549,5si, county bridge funds, ST.
475,472, township road and bridge
funds and. $71.434, motor vehicle Ii
cense refund. The total average
available per county is $52,14o. In
other words there may be spent on
North Dakota's highways an amount
equal to 34.os for every man, woman
and child enumerated in the 1915 CEN
sus. /.
"A year ago MI. Bliss estimated that
$2,370,000 would be available for roads
during 1915. Data was obtained later
which substantiated the estimate. The
amount Of money, then, for road purll
poses for 1916 above that available
for 1916 is $S41,295. /

FED ON RAPE
- NEED SOME GRAIN.

Can you afford to feed grain to your
hogs this summer?
r. C. Ashby, in charge Of swine at
University Farm. St. Paul. says you
cannot afford to grow them, without
grain. He gives the results Of three
tests of feeding corn = hogs on rape
pasture to prove his claim.
Six 50-pound pigs were put in each
Of the threeflots, abouta quarter Q tan
acre in size, on rape pasture. The
pigs in. the first lot were feds half "a
tion-2 per cent. Of corn; that is. two
pounds Of corn for every one-hundred
pounds Of live weight. Those in the
second lot were fed three pounds Of
corn for every one-hundred pounds of
pig; that is, 2 per cent. The pigs in
the third lot were fed a full ration, A
per cent, of corn. The, pigs were on
good rape pasture eleven weeks-from
July 10 to September 20. Their gain
were counted es worth Z cents a pound
and corn was charged al IS cents q
|bushel.
The returns paid for the rape pas
ture an acre were: Lot No. 1,-$52.80;
lot No. 2, $66.72; lot No. 8, $500
II the corr is figured at rs cents q
bushei, the balance for the pasture on
the three lots, would, be $+3.16. 1896
and $45.6D, respectively
Without the feeding, Of. grain, the
pigs would have gained little. Mr.
Ashby Says. Rape may be expected
to pay $50 an acre Is pasture only
with the proper feeding q grain.
