company were formulated at the same time. Tho mayor stated this morn ing that possibly the term military as applied to the Rifle club company. insofar as it is officially connected with the city. is a misnomer. It will not be a military company in the sense pf being an armed force to repel a na- tional enemy. It will be strictly an auxiliary police force to protect the city alone. It would be called into service only In case the police de- paltment, the supernumeraries and others could not handle any situation. Tho military aspect of tho company IS private entirely. The members desire somo military training and will De given drills. That is the plan, pure and simple, the mayor stated.
 As for embarrassing the National Guard or Home Guard, the mayor ven- tured the opinion that in case of hos tilitiev he has no doubt that the ranks of the unofficial military company would be materially tlinned by mem bers enIIsting in the service of state or country.
 Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock the members of the New Britain City Guard and all others of the public who are interested in the move are urged to attend a meeting in the state armory. Men will be measured for uniforms and equipment and fur thor enltstments will be made. It is expected that this meeting will be at tended by several hundred men and youths. M

PREPARATION OF SEED BED.

College Park. Feb. 22.-Ineluded in
a series Of articles recently written
for the County Demonstration Agents,
for use in connection with local Boys
Agricultural Clubs throughout the
State, S. B. Shaw, Specialist in Horti
cultural Extension, treats the subject
very thoroughly. He advocates fire.
quent harrowings in the spring to pre-
serve moisture and keep out weeds.
Mr.. Shaw says: 1T is advisable to
plow deeply at least several weeks
before planting, preferably the fall be-
fore. The depth Of plowing will, Of
course, depend upon the way in which
the soil has previously been treated.
While it is desirable to have as deep
seed bed as possible, II will not
do to break up too much Of the sub
soil at one time. A safe rule to fol
low is to go about an inch deeper
each time the land is plowed. In
this way the depth Of the seed bed
will be increased without bringing too
much of the subsoil to the surface at
any one time.
While potatoes do best in well
drained soil, they require plenty Of
moisture for their full development.
In addition to having the seed bed
deep, it should contain plenty of hu-
mus, or decaying vegetable matter, as
this helps to retain moisture for the
growth of the plants. One of the best
ways to put plenty OF this material in
the seed bed is to select piece of
sod land the year before and after
covering pretty thoroughly with stable
manure, plow 1t in the fall to a depth
that will bring up about an inch or
two Of the subsoil. In blowing do
not turn the furrow completely over.
but set it on Its edge, with enough
slant to cover all the sod and as much
Of the manure as possible with soil.
After staying this way over winter
the land may again be plowed in the
spring or cut over deeply with disc
harrow. 1t is best not to apply fresh
stable manure in the spring, as It
might cause the potatoes to scab.
Narrowing.
After the land has been plowed,
or disced in the spring, it should again
be disced and then gone over with
ei.1er a spring-tooth or spike-tooth
harrow. Try to break up all possible
Gods. If narrowing is done immedi-
at ly after plowing, elods are not so
likely to be formed. Soils that are
deeply prepared and free from Jumps
and clods will form smooth, uniform
potatnes, the kind that bring the brst
ps.ces on the market, Frequent har-
rowings in the spring up to planting
time will conserve moisture, keep the
land in good condition and prevent the
growth of weeds"
