There are thousands of seedling ap- ple trees scattered in the pastures and woods of Hampden county, which are producing only cider apples at the present_time, which ought to be made to produce good salable .apples, such as McKintosh red, Northern spy and Baldwin. Many of the trees are tall and it is impractical to graft them .out on the limbs where the stocks ‘would be small enough for grafting. There- fore it is mecessary to grow water sprouts off from the main trunk and scaffold branches for .grafting pur- poses. In order to -get this water sprout growth- it is necesary to cut the tree back radically and-this work can be done by many farmers at the rHE GUESTION OF rENCES. Every Property Required to Maintain Those Which are Sufficient. It is the duty of all adjoining propri- etors of farm lands to maintain a fence which the statute defines as “suffici- ent,” and a man who permits his fences to get into -such a condition that in the opinion of the selectmen, as fen.e viewers, they are “insufficient,” mus. run his own risk of being able to col- lect damages in case neighboring cattle or other animals break through and get into his crops. _From ea:*yueolonh.l days it has been the law in Comnecticut that in cases where one_farmer maintains a good lence, and the neighbor next to him maintains a poor fence through which cattle are easily able to break, the far- mer maintaining the sufficient. fence can compel his neighbor to maintain a proper ‘and sufficlent fence by calling upon -the selectmen. Then have the power to inspect the fences in question, and if they find that a fence is “in- sufficient,” they may require the owner to put it in proper condition, and any expense in connection with the inspec- :ion made by the selectmen is charge- able to. the man who maintains the poor fence. FEEDING HENS FOR EGG PRODUCTION. Therein Lies a Matter of Much Im- portance to Health of Birds. A good hen lays in a year, from four six times her own weight in eggzs. These are rich in concentrated making material—protein, fat and min- eral matter.’ It takes a strong living machine to stand the strain for such an-output. The problem of “feeding is ‘one of sreat-importance and should be care- fully considered, for on it depends to a large- extent not only the general health of the birds, but also the econ- omy which promotes success. For the largest profit, a good pro- portion of the eggs should be secured during “the winter. If two extra eggs per week can be obtained from each hen a.good profit will be made, while if .the product is increased by only one egg per -week in winter, this one egg will pay-fer all the food the hen eats. ‘The nutriment in the feed of laying hens serves a two-fold purpose — to repair waste and furnish heat to the body,2and to supply the egg-making materials. As only the surplus over what is ‘needed for the body is avail- able for egg production, the proper feeds should be fed in sufficient quan- tities to .indnce. this production. In supplying feed to fowls there are three . kinds of constituents which should-be present in certain falirly we!l fixed proportions if the desired resuits are to be obtained most economically. These constituents are mineral matter nitrogenous matter and carbohydrates. all. of ‘which are contained in corn, wheat, oats and barley, but not in the right jons- to give the greatest ogg Vit In addition, some animal feed and green feed should be supplied.

'COLD WEATHER STOPS EGG PRODUCTION Still Better - However Than Yield of Last Year—Two Eggs a Day Laid by a Few Hens. Two egzs a week i sbetter perform- ance than the average hen makes at this season of the year. but twc egEs in one day is the record of White Leghorn _pullet No, 667 owned by Charles Heigl of Rocky River, Ohio. The layin~ contest does not expect to establish very many lavers of this sort nor does it anticipate that the few birds who do this extraordinary feat will be able to repeat it very often. As a matter of fact the records of the first contest held at Storrs. show that only_four hens laid two eggs in any one day during the éntire year or in’ other words this' thing happended once for about each nineteen thousand eggs that were gathered.
