Incubators always stand ready to take care of eggs when there 'is a sufficient number to put into them.

SUBSTITUTES FOR WHEAT. Should Have Same Food Value—A Good Grain Rations. Poultrymen can no longer feed whol wheat profitably. It will be necessary therefors to substitute some other grains that have very nearly the same food valwe. In this respect oats and barley about Tl the bill but we find, that they are also very high in price, and therefore it would be wise to feed as much corn as possfile. As long as this situation lasts, it will be prac- tieal to feed % of a gralm ration cracked cor: ‘welght of ‘Because, tes and oats. in carl and 3% equal parts by |day. middiings, and mixed feeds, about % as much hominy as wheat feeds, be- cause hominy contains 2 per cent. more protein than corn meal and is more likely to be of high grade.

Everyone who is siiort of green sue- culent food should plan on growinz it at different times so that a continual | supply can be planned on from earl unil late season SPRAY ALL FRUIT TREES. Reports come from different sections that people are not planning to b spray materials and spray their trees this vear, because of thé low prices for which the different grades ®f fruit sold last year, This is a great mis- take. Spraying is one orchard opera-| tion that must be practiced each vear,| and cannot be neglected unless one plans to cut his trees down. It is| possible to prune, cultivate and fer- tilize one’s trees and not get money back for so doing if the spraving op- eration is neglected. On the other hand, if the trees are spraved. people cannot help but get their money baci, and in practically all cases get it back with a big interest. All who have apple trees should plan to spray them for the apple scab, aphis. plum and apple curculio and codling moth. This means that the trees must be sprayved at least twice. All sections where the Scale is more or less common must have another spray with strong lime sulphur. It is hoped that no one will stop his spraving campaign this year, because of the low prices received last year. REAL VALUE OF PEAT AND MUCK Building up land by digsing the sedi- ments fourd in swamps and meadows and spreading over the land is not a. rapid process. Many have land which contains so-celled peat or mucky soils and wonder if it was evaporated and applied to land if it would not be a 2ood fertilizer. Analysis of the mater- fal will show that the amount of avail- able plant food would be in most cases very lttle. Being black in color one usually save that such soil is rich in nitrogen. while it may contain as high as one-third of 1 per cent of this ele- ment it is usually very unavailable due to the fact thas the soluble part or the part which fhe plants can use, has been lost long before by the run. ning water, and what remains are the portions or compounds of this element which is not available and not eoluble| and likely to resist the action of bacteria for some considerable length of time. ¥rom the standpoint of sup- plying phosphorus and potash it is ex- tremely poor as seldom do they con- tain more than a fraction of 1 per cent.

Isbell Expl ne Unfavorable Report on by the People, Hartford, Feb. 24.—Senator Isbell ex= plained the unfavorable report of the committes on the judiciary on the house bill for the election of county comuaissioners by the peole. Only one person appeared before the committee in favor. There seemed no sentiment for the change. Senator Bree said the statement of Senator Isbell was not sufficient rea- son for the rejection of the bill, He referred to the experience of New. Haven county in the building of the! ally intended to cost_$600,000 and had cost $1,300,000. he furniture cest about $100,000. The people” of the county had nothing to say about this expenditure. The repub- lican representatives and senators of New Haven county have taken 217 unsucceseful ballots, sixteen of which were illegal for a candidat for coun- ty commissioner. The bill yas reject- ed. The =enate bill for the election of county commissioners Dby the people was also refected. Pensions For Federal Officials. Senator Comiey, Jr, chairman of the committee on federal relations, which reported favorably on the matter opposed the passage of the bill which favored the Hamill bill before congr for the pensioning of civil service employes. He said it contained extravagant and - wild propositions. It was enthusiastically supported by federal employes in their own interest.

An agresment has been reached be- tween Contractor Cesare Del Carlo, the trustees of the Dackus hospital and the Reynolds heirs by which the work of draining the surface water from the flais known as Fanning’s pond, and ocated near the junetion of Oneco and Lafayette streets, will be continued. The work had been under way some time, appropriations had been made by both the city and town with the ea of having a drain large enough to ctarry away the surface water, and con- siderable progress had been made when it was halted by interested per- sons on the supposition that the drains were to be used as sewers. The agree- ment provides that only surface water shail be carried through the drain which is to be laid by Contractor Del Carlo. A trench has aiready been opened in the Del Carlo property, which was for- merly known as Fanning’s pond, and this trench is ready to receive the 18- inch pipe. There is a stretch of 100 feet between the Del Carlo property and the 18-inch sewer already laid across the hospital property to be dug nd pipe laid and connected with the ewer pipe with that extending from the rear of the ReynoMs property. n 1s-inch pipe now carries the water from the Gallows Hill brook to the Yantic river. This I8 ready to re- ceive the 15-inch pipe running through the Del Carlo property. and a new 30- inch pipe probably 100 feet in length will be extended alongside the 13-inch pipe from the hospital property to the Yantic river. This will provide enough sewer pipe to carry all the water to the river. Civil Engineer George B. Pitcher has been engaged in carrying on the work by Contractor Del Carlo and the hosifal and Chandler & Paimer have been engaged by the Reymolds heirs.
