I'd like to quit and get a job. 1T don’t see what good it is goig to do me to learn all about grammar and to study- all those dates in history, that are so hard “Maybe there’s some-: thing in what you say. There are some boys naturally so stupid that they never could learn anything anyway. and they might just as well quit first s last. Now, .if you.think you be- long with those, fellows—" “No,” 'he interrupted, hastily, “I could do the worl all right if I want-, ed to get right down to it But 1 don't think it would do me any good.” “All right, then.” T said, “let's look at it this way.

The work of the different troops of scouts at the New London County Fair was very useful and was appreciated by the public. The scouts, which represented nearly every troop of the city, had two tents. One tent, which was large and airy, ‘was used as a rest tent and was used. by hundreds of people. Besides the rest tent, a tent for first aid .was erected. = Altogether the scouts ~at- tended to thirteen cases of first aid. On Mondey several were treated for cuts in which the bleeding was not severe. One man was bruised under the left eve, while another had a se- vere: headache. Both men were ‘fixed up,” and left feeling fine. The most serious case that the scouts at- tended to on Monday was a man who had sunstroke, followed by convul- slons, The scouts treted him so that with the aid of two scouts he was tak- en to the cac and sent to his home in Yantlo. On Tuesday & woman fainted and was. treated equally well. On the same day one of the soidiers of the Danfel- son company met with quite a severe accident. While looking from the car ‘window he hit & pole-and was knock- ed unconscious. . He was first treated by Dr. Agnew and. was then taken to the scout tent where he received ‘a . stimulent. On Wednesday the scouts experienc- @ another quite severe accident. One of the,horsemen had a it on the race track. ' He was brought to the scout tent orf"the stretcher and was doctor- ed after which he was given a Stmulent, Two of thesscouts found a sheep that got lost, and returned it, and was informed that it belonged to Mr. Palmer; end was worth Qollars nd it was an important yew. The scouts also did some signaling at_thesfair. “Very many congratulated the scouts on their.good work and wisher them ‘success. - The scouts were -under the direction of Scoutmaster W. G.

Farm Storage of Apples. Some . investigations have been made relative to farm apple storage. The results indicate that there is feed. of much improvement. - Further - atten- tion may properiy be given the pre- servation of a crop after it is pro- duced. It is as important to preserve as it is to produce. Trials were con- ducted to learn the value of different mechanical media in the the preserva- tion of apples. Mill sawdust, cork saw- dust, leaves, chopped hay, paper wrap- pers and sand were tried out. Shrink- age and decay losses were-determined ang estimates made as to appearance and flavor. Only the mill sawdust and R i ] £ i i ;i; he ity ; by Mr. J. D. Avery of North Stoning- ton, and the other, a grade Ayrahire, is owned by Mr. J.'W. Frink of Frank- lin.

The Connecticut, Farm ° Bureau Announcement, as ‘it is offielally en- titled, recently issued to Directors of Farm Bureaus in the State of Con- necticut brings out a few very inter- esting facts relative to the Farm Bureau work in_this state. On March first, New London county was the only county organized for workin the state. Five months later every coun- ty in the state except Tolland bad been organized, and with the excep- tion of Middlesex had agents hired and in the fleld. in a comparatively short time have become acquainted with their counties and have shown actual results. The Announcement shows that they have visited efght hundred and sev- enty four farms, written over a thousand letters, beside circuiar let- ters, addressed ninety-five meetings with an aggregate -attendance of over five thousand, traveled many thousand miles. AS results, in co- operation with the Extension staff of the Connecticut Agricultural College, and the U, 8. Dept. of Agriculture, they already show three Dairy Herd Improvement Associations organized and two more in process of organiza- tion; -~ about two hundred boys' and girls' clubs organized with an ag- gregate enrollment of twenty-three hundred; and “systematic farm man- agement demonstrations on six areas aggregating three hundred and forty five farms. The work has started most auspic- iously, especially in those sections where directors are active. This ac- tivity on the part of the director seems necessary to the real success of the work. ¥, #POULTRY HOUSE CLEANING. The 1di Time to Get Ready for the Winter Season—White Washing Will Help. During the mnext few weeks good poultrymen will give their - poultry buildings a thorough cleaning, getting rid of all surplus stock that may not be carried over the winter, and pre- paring the pens for the puilets which should be in winter quarters by Octo- ber 1. A thorough cleaning is most essential, because at this season of the year poultry diseases are most neumerous and most difficult to com- bat. If the birds go into the- winter in absolutely clean houses, thoroughly disinfected they stand a very good chance to go through the eeason With- out serious diseases. All poultry house applances and ‘everything removable in the bullding should be taken out doors, exposed to the sunshine, thoroughly washed and disinfected. ‘Where there are concrete and bosrd floors the litter should be removed, the floor swept and washed with a good disinfectant. Perches and droping boards should receive simiiar treat- ment receiving 3 good spray of three parts kerosene, and one part of crude carbolic acid. In houses with dirt fioors, several inches of the dirt should be removed with the.litter and - Dew. gravel added. It is & very good plan to whitewash poultry houses at this :time of .the year, because whitewash*destroys lice and s particularly valuable becaunse it. lightens the building perceptibly. A tablespoonful of crude carbolic acid should be added to the whitewash to increase its effectiveness as a destroy- er poultry vermin. The most promin- ent whitewash solution is known as the -government . whitewash which s made by slaking half a bushel of lime with bolling water, straining the solu~ ding one peck of ealt dis- These ~men litter should be used to keep the hens busy. It is also a good plan to have a few inches of sand on the board and concrete floors. A day spent now cleaning house will- mean dollars in the pocket of every poultryman. . APPLE HARVEST .NEXT. Boxing the Finest Fruit for the Mar- ket Recommended. It is now time for all to prepare for the apple harvest which will be upon us in a short time. Many have con- sidered their needs and have pur- chased their necessary supply of bar- rels, boxes and accessories. Several growers in the:county have sprayed and cared for their fruit very carefully and as 4 result have at the present time some of the finest fruit to be found _anywhere. Such people can well afford to consider the advisability of boxing some of their finest appies jand developing a box market. Good standard apple boxes can be purchased at 15 and 16 cents aplece. Such grow- ers should have a brand name for their apples, and should, of course, have their 'farm properly named. This should be displayed by using etencls, on all barrels, boxes and packages sent out from the farm which have the bet- ter grades of fruit in them. The lea- gue will be glad to assist any in de- veloping suggestions along this line. It is high time that apple barrels were purchased as the harvest season is ap- proaching and the demand for barrels is now great. ASSISTANT STATE LEADER FOR CONNECTICUT The Extension Service of the Con- necticut Agricultural College has re- cently secured the services of L G. who will devote his time to working with county agents in the de- velopment of their Farm Bureau work. Mr. Davis will also have charge of the Farm Management (Demonstration work for the present, due to the resignation of H. F. Keyes who has had charge of this work for the past year, but who has been transferred to Oregon. Mr. Davis was brought up on a successful farm, has had a college course in agriculture, and has taught agriculture in one of the 'secondary schools in Massachusets. While teaching agricuiture he did some of the finest county agent work in his community that has ever been done training _and _experience have made him- exceptionally ,well qualified for this work.
