The profits per hen should be from $1 to $5, depending upon the uses to which the eggs are put and the method of calculation. Many poultrymen add to the value of the eegs produced.

The Past Week Developed an Unex- pected Gain of Over Two Dozen. The thirty-seventh week of ths lay- ing contest at Storrs developed an un- expected gain of 36 eggs, or a total Bennington man I got from 312 to $30 for & lange proportion of his spring lamos. A man in Connecticut who turns over $5,000 in spring lambs every seascn for a fair proportion of Production of 3102 as compared with 3076 for the proceeding week. The lighter breeds were for the most part responsible for holding up the record. There were fourteen pens that pro- duced 49 eggs each or more during the of these were Leghorns except one, a pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by H. P. Deming of Robertsyille, Conn., Ex-president of the Connecticut Poul try Assoclation. Four of these fourteen gets big prices his lambs. A pens yielded 80 per cent or better dur- ing the week. An experimental pen of Vérmont men has been in the beep business for twenty years, and gots §3 a head for wool and $10 each ‘or his Jams. And so it goes. The man who makes a good brain help in the business of sheep raising in New England can make good money. If he busy to dis- ter with himself. New England ought to be raising 26 sheep whers she is now raising one. Think what a lot of money that would bring to the New England farmers, and all of the sheep pastures would be increasing in value at the rate of 10 ‘er cent. per annum. SAVE MOISTURE BY CULTIVATION. B. G. SOUTHWICK, - Department of Agronomy, Connecticut Agricultural College Recent rains have done much ‘or corn and potatoes but this only em- phasizes the need for constant culti- vation. Bternal vigilence is no more the price of ocess than is frequent cultivation the road to good corn and potato crops. If cultivation has been deep early in the season there is no reason why potatoes should not be cul- tivated after the tubers have set. A two horse riding cultivator is a splea- @id tool for this work. SUPPLEMENTARY FORAGE CROPS W. L. SLATE, JR., Professor of Agronomy Connecticut Agriocultural College Now is the time to get prepared for the short pasturage that may come later in the eeason. A few acres planted during July to some crop suit- able either for soiing or for hay will be found very profitable on most dairy Barley is a cheap, easily grown crop that will furnish green feed even into November as the early frosts do not kill it. Sow any time before the middle of August using two bushels per acre. Japanese Barnyard Millet is unexcelled as a quick growing sup- plementary forage crop. Select rich, moist eoil and seed about the 20th. of July using three to four pecks to the acre. Hungarian Millét makes a fine crop to piece out a short hay crop as it grows quickly and cures easily. Sow about the middle of July if possibie tntd‘ in two months it will be ready to cu Soybeans and cowpeas are possible supplementary legume crops. They can be hayed but are more satisfac- tory when fed green. Both ought to be sown about the 15th of July if pos- sible and may be either broadcastad or drilled. Use for to six pecks sown broadcast and two pecks drilled. Have a very fine, mellow seed bed and apply fertilizer broadcast. OPPORTUNITIES IN POULTRY CULTURE By PROF. J. C. GRAFAM. One of the chief drawbacks for many men who are thinking of entering the poultry business is the fact that their friends are likely to make extremely discouragaing remarks, such as, “Oh, don’t do that; I tried it once and I lost a lot of money at it. There’s no chance to win.” To contradict this idea there are four reasons, to which mey be attributed 90 per cent of the falluses In this business. It may not be_amiss to insert them here:— 1, Ignorance in regard to the amount of labor connected with the business. t an idea in some way that ‘People f poultry keeping requires but very lit- tle work; that all they need is a house, corn and birds and the hems will do ‘White Leghorps that have had no beef scraps since the contest opened but have been fed sour milk as a substi- tute is now only five emgs behind the English Wyandottes that are leading and it is believed they will be leading the competition before the end of the month. Thirty-four individuals including Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Leghorns, Orpingtons, Campines, White Laced Red Cornish, and “Hens,” laid seven eggs each dur- ing the week. Jules F. Francais's pen of Barred Rocks from West Hampton, Long Island produced four of these all-the-week layers or more than any other one pen. A White Leghorn owned by Chas. W. Sherwood of Say- brook Point, Conn., known as No. 567 was credited with only six eggs for the week but one of these six proved to be 70 per cent. over size and the other one per cent. over size so that ~this bird actually yielded the equivalent of a little over 7 1-2 standard size esgs, that is to say, ezgs that weigh 24 ounces to the dozen. Seventy-six birds including princi- pally Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and Reds, together with a few Leg- horns, Orpingtons, and “Hens” were shut up in the broody cages during the week. This means that these 76 hens were not only not laying during the week but they probably will not lay again for a period of 15 or 18 days. A pen: of Buff Wyandottes and a pen | of Rhode Island Reds were tied for the | unenviable distinction of having the | most broodies at any one time. But | these pens had six birds each wanting to sit. An Ohio pen of White Leghorns ! owned by Charles Heigl of Rocky Riv- | er, won first place with 57 eggs to their | credit. Two Pennsylvania pens of the same breed -owned respectively by Marwood Poultry Farm of Butler, and P. G. Platt of Wallingford, tied for second place with 56 egzs each and the English pen of White Leghorns won third place with a yield of 54 eggs. The three day conference of rural pastors together with the annual fleld meeting of the KEastern Connecticut Business Men's Association brought nearly 600 visitors to the competition plant” during the last week. The ten leading pens to date are as follows: Tom Barron, Catforth, Eng- land, White Wyandottes 1544; Fran- cis F. Lincoln, Mt.

The various granges of the county should begin now to prepare for the Grange @xhibit at the annual county fair. There ought to be enough en- tered to make a strong competition. The prizes amount to $100. divided up into 1st, $50, 2nd. $30, and 3rd, $20. Subjects In the exhibit wil be limited to Fruit, Vegetables, Grains and Home Canning. Awards will be made on a scale of 100 points giving variety 40 points, quality 40 points and arrangement 20 Ppoints. E The county agent stands ready to help and suggest in any way that he can and it is hoped that all will feel at liberty to call upon him. Alfalfa. Those farmers who are going to seed alfalfa this year should have their land plowed about now and let it lie fallow for one or two weeks harrow- ing meanwhile to keep free from weed seeds. The land should be high, well- drained and In good tilth. Do not at- tempt to seed without the use of lime and Inoculation. Ground lime stone, is the best and cheapest form to apply and it is better to put this on some little time before seeding. Inoculation is either by using inoculated soil or the pure bacteria culture. The gov- ernment now furnishes this cuiture free and all farmers sowing any of the legumes should send to the agent who will accure this culture free of charge. Seeding Down in Corn. Another practice that the agent wishes to encourage this year is that of seeding down in the corn at the last eultivation. This is practised very successfully in Massachusetts and New York and has many things in favor of it. First it makes an ideal nurse crop for the grass seed in that it does not take much moisture from the and provides just emough shade for best Tesults. Also utilizes the land all the time so that half a year is gained in the rotation. The land shoulq be in fairly good condi- tion however and seeding done thor- oughly. This is best done by hand or by a rotary hand sower going in each row or every other row if the corn is not too high and be folowed closely with a fine toothed cultivator. If this is top dressed the next year we have gained so much time and a good crop is generally obtained. Orcharding. Culttvation of orchards should stop in the near future. Considerable dam- age has been noticed throughout the county due to winter killing and to guard against this cultivation should be suspended and the clover crops sown. This allows the fruit to develop and the wood to become ripe which will prevent severe winter kiliing. ‘Winter crops are’ Clovers, winter vetch, sweet clover, winter ryve and winter wheat. Crops that are killed by freezing although very satis- factory for this use are cowpeas, soy- beans, rape, turnips, barley, buckwheat and millet (little used). Combinations of two or more of these are also to be recommended. The Hay Crop. The hay demonstration plots that were established throughout the coun- ty early in the seasop have in most cases turneq out exceedingly well. The principle that the county agent wanted to bring out here was the fact that it patd 10 top dress our hay mowings. Results have been very gratifying and also have brought out other facts that are of interest and value to all. There were eight plots established. One of these was treated with nitrate of Soda alone at the rate of 300 Ib: cre, another wit h400 Ibs.ef com- ilizer und the rest with a chemica's costing $3.05. This latter mixture consisted of 190 1bs. of nitrate of soda,"159 Ibs. of acid phosphate. 50 Ibs. of muriate of potash. Various resuits followed. One plot which looked exc8edingly good in the early part of the season has developed to be full of weed seeds and while the extra hay is well worth the price of fertilizer applied, the plot plainly shows the need of plowing, cultivating for at least one season and re-seednig. Another plot was a seeding that had not been plowed for six or eight vears. While it was known that this plot would not respond as satisfactory as others 1t was tried and shows that it needed reseeding worst than anvthing | else. The plot that had nitrate of soda alone was not as satisfactory as { others but it was probably due to the | seeding which was hit very hard last year by dry weather. The other four plots treated with chemicals and the one with commer- cial fertilizer plainly showed that it pays to top dress a good seeding. It has been said in regard to three of the plots that nearly a ton per acre In- crease was obtained. While no scales were available to weigh this accurate- 1y these opinions were given by dis- interested parties including one Massachusetts man who has had con- siderable experience in this experimen- tal work. With hay selling at nearly $20 per ton it can be easily seen that a very small increase In the yield per acre will more than pay for the applica- tion of chemicals recommended by the agen. In New London county there are 26,141 acres of timothy alone and timothy and clover mixed sown. Its value runs up into the hundreds of thousand of dollars. If by the appli- cation of three dollars worth of hay per acre increase is it not a proposi- tion to be seriously considered by {every farmer A No. 1 hay will never {lack a market and if the good for- tune should ever come that the far- mers of this county ‘cin more than supply thelr own market there are excellent transportation facilitles to neighboring cities where all can be used. It is not claimed that every field needs added fertilizer or that it will pay to apply it on every acre, but a pretty good vrinciple to follow is thi practice a short rotation, plan to plough your stable manure in for we want the added humus in .the ground where it will do_the mosi good, and then top dress with chemicals as long as the results warrant it Uncle Pennywise Says: When I read about a man high W the couneils of his party, I pictars te myself a fellow sitting on a stepianddes in a grecery, talking politios.

A ready sale is being found for many of the vegetables now being marketed and the jail team, in charge of Deputy Jailer Wallace, may be seen in Danielson almost any day making deliveries. The sale of the vegetables is producing a considerable revenue to be added to the income of the jail from various sources. Officials of other jalls in the state have been visitors at Brooklyn to inspect the truck rarm and the idea may be introduced at their institutions another year. WHIPPED OFF GLASSES.
