Trap-nesting during the fall and early winter is the only sure measure of the hen's profitableness. Many poultrymen are sufficiently Aamiliar with the appearance of the laying hen to be able to select the early produc- ers without the trap nest and mark them for future obs ation, but the best poultryman living cannot tell b the'hen’s appearance whe E one egg a week, three or an egg nearly every can any man tell by the appearance of the pullets whether they will lay a few weeks in the fall and then the remainder of the winter, or whether once started they will con- tinue without easing until the fol- lowing November. In heavier breeds, where broodiness is an unprofitable characteristic, the trap nest helps to indicate those birds that are most in- clined to be broody. While some ody but t records show that others are broody from 12 to 15 times a year. broody as frequently as that cannot possibly pay her owner a very large profit, even though she lays well dur- ing the remainder of the time. These important facts concerning individual birds are brought out only by the use of the trap nest during the fall and early winter, and their value for this purpose is unquestionable, Any hen that is STRAWBERRY BEDS SHOULD BE MULCHED.

RAISING A HEIFER. No Greater In Case of Good Stock Than of Poor. Bulletin 63 of the Storrs (Conn.) Station show that it was found that it cost $66.59 to raise a heifer to two of years of age ‘The summary the figures follow: Cost of feed, first year, | $28.34; ditto, second year, $: la- bor for two years, $10; beddjng, $2: barn rent, insurance, taxes, $1; total cost, value of manure, credit- total net cost for two years, According to Bulletin 49 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, several heifers on a dairy farm in Wisconsin were studied for a period of two vears. The figures show that it cost $39.52 to raise a heifer to one year of age, and $61.41 to two years of age. In this study, $8 was allowed for the value of the manure for two years. In this test the calves were born in the fall, and the labor items were not reckoned as high as labor is ordinarily worth in the spring and summer. At the least calculation, it costs, net, $60 to raise a heifer to two years of age, and at the rate one can afford to raise only good heifers from good stock. TO CONDUCT SPRAYING CAM- PAIGN. One of the most important results obtained from the county agents and agricultural instructors’ conference held in Amherst last week was the recommendation and adoption of a special committee relative to the county agents and all interested in agriculture to co-operate and lay special emphasis on one single prac- tical demonstration for the year 1916. This demonstration is to be a cam- ign for the better spraying of fruit trees in Massachusetts by our local agent selecting the two more valuable of the following three eprays: The bud sprays, the calyX, or the second codling spray for the purpose of dem- onstrating the control of aphls, tent caterpillars and codling moths, and in the eastern part of the state the brown-tail moth. | i t i COVER UP VEGETABLES IN THE GARDEN. i *fany vegetables such as brussels | =prouts, parsley and cabbage are gen- leit in the small gardens 2ghont the county.

SCY BEANS A HUMAN FOOD. Soy bean flour may be used much same way as corn meal. Although this crop has been grown in America throu, san and | for a_quarter of a century, says Farm and Home, it has been used only for a stock feed, while in China and Ja- pan it has been used for human food for many centuries. Practically the only use made of soy bean flour so far in this country is in certain types of illness where it is de- sirable to limit the amount of starch fed the patient. Flour made from ripe soy beans, although rich in protein and oll, contains little or no starch. | This mixed with wheat flour, there- fore, increases the protein content and lowers the starch content, while the bread is very similar in apearance to ordinary wheat bread. When more than 25 per cent soy bean flour is used the character of the bread or cakes is materiaily altered. HENS IN WINTER. Should Be Allowed Free Run or Kept Under Cover. There seems to be no-data available on the method of giving fowls a free run in winter as compared with close confinement in our changeable New England climate, but poultrymen should adopt either one system or the other. To allow the fowls the free- dom of the yard some days and keep them confined at other times is not conductive to the best results in egg production. Hens are creatures of habit to such an extent that if a flock of birds is removed from unsanitary, crowded quarters to a modern well equipped, properly ventilated house they are more than likely to fall off in their egg production for several weeks not because the change is not for the better, but because it is something dif- ferent. A frequent change from confinement to range and from range to confine- ment, though it may be for the com- fort and best interest of the fowls in the judgment of the caretaker, will so disturb the fowls that they will not know whether they are going out or staying in, and because of the perver- sity of hen nature they will want to do just what they cannot do and their nervous systems will be sufficiently disorganized to interfere with the pro- per functioning of the egg organs. To the average person this statement will undoubtedly seem far-fetched when applied to an animal of such low men- tality as is ascribed to the hen, but practical poultrymen know how hard it is to encourage their fowls to lay duf:n; the winter'and how easily they qu The nervous system of the high pro- ducing hen is not a thing to be re- garded lightly when eggs are 60 cents prer dozen. Plenty of range and out- door exercise undoubtedly results in strong, vigorous stock, capable of di- gesting much food and laying many eggs, but it would seem that with the vards covered with several inches of sncw that exercise could be obtained in a dry open front house by judicious feeding of scratch grain in deep clean litter with more satisfactory results in good egg production. For three months during the winter season fowls will ac- custom themeelves to such conditions and will not suffer much in vitality and will surely lay more eggs, partic- ularly if the winter is unusually se- vere. All these things are true as applied to pullets that are being kept primarily for egg production, but in the case of Yearling hens or early hatched pullets that will be used for breeding stock next spring vitality is of tremendous importance and egg production is secondary, and everything that can be done to Increase the vigor and hardi- ness in such birds will be reflected in the hatching power of their eggs and the vitality of the chickens which are hatched from them. The breeders should be kept separate from laying stock and given free access to out of doors throughout the entire winter. SILAGE GOOD AT ONCE. Save waste by feeding silage as soon as the silo is filled, if you want to, says Prof. Watson of the Missourl Agricultural College. It is not silage but only green corn, finely cut, until heating and fermentation have pro- The Victrola is ideal for Christmas It is sure of a hearty welcome on Christmas morning—and it will be a favorite all round. year The Victrola pleases every one—gives every- body the kind of music they like best.

Proper aairy 1 care is essential for the y calf and cow. The calf, regard of the good breeding it may hav ! will not develop and give the best re- sults unless proper attention is given from the time it is born. Too fre- quently the younz calf during its first few weeks of its life is not given the oppoftunity to develop as it should. To do this requires proper feeding, proper feed and clean surroundings. The following suggestions are made from the Weekly News Letter: Immediately after birth the navel of the calf should be washed with an intiseptic solution and tied *with a silk thread in order to prevent. infection. For the first feed the calf should have the first milk from the cow after calv ing and should have its mother’s mi for several feeds thereafter. The sooner the weaning takes place the better, but ordinarily it should not be postponed later than the fourth day. When first fed from the pail, 8 to 10 pounds of milk a day, fresh and warm from the cow and divided into two feeds, are sufficient. At all times the utmost care should be taken to pre- vent any digestive disorder, as all such trouble hinders the growth and development of the animal. The amount of milk fed can be gradually increased until at the end of the second week the calf receives from 14 to 16 pounds of milk a day. At this time the gradual substitution of skim milk for whole milk may be- gin. Hay and grain should be placed before the calf at this period, and it 11 be found to nibble at them a lit- tle. At the end of the third week the substitution of the skim milk will be complete. By slow changes the milk can be increased thereafter until 20 pounds a day are fed: this amount will be found sufficient when fed with the grain and hay. If skim milk is plentiful more may be fed, but the added amount will not give proportion- ately better results. Corn meal, bran and oil meal, mixed in the proportion of three, two and one, make an excellent grain mix- ture. This grain when fed with plenty of fine clover hay makes an ideal supplement to skim milk in bal- ancing the ration. Calves should be allowed all the grain that they will eat until they consume three pounds a day; from this point the feeder should use his judgment as to wheth- er an increase is justified. EGG LAYERS ARE AHEAD OF LAST YEAR. Every Pen Has Produced Eggs At Storrs Which Is Two Weeks Better Than Last Contest. The production in the seventh week of the laying contest at Storrs amounted to 1557 eggs, as compared with 1544 last week and 1492 for fhe corresponding week last year. These figures are gratifying to the manage- ment of the contest as they show a slight increase in the number of eggs whereas last year the birds began to slump in the seventh week and con- tinued the downward trend for three weeks. Another encouraging feature in this connection is the fact that ev- ery pen entered has now laid some eggs, whereas last year this was not true until the ninth week or a fort- night later than in the present con- test. Mrs. R. W. Stevens’ pen of White Wyandottes from Stillwater, N. Y. were not only the best pen for the week but they also set a new high mark of 50 eggs which no pen is likely.| to better until nearer the natural breeding season. Tom Barron's pen of the same breed from Catforth, Eng- land was second for the week with 47 eggs to their credit and Jules F. Fran cals’ pen of Barred Rocks from West. hampton Beach, L. I laid 40 eggs. Fairflelds Farms pen of Barred Rocks from Short Falls, N. H., followed close- ly with 39 eggs to their credit. Thus it happens that in spite of the fact that there are 32 pens entered from Connecticut, none of these have been mentioned in the weekly leaders for the past four weeks. Rhode Island Red No. 456 owned by F. D. Clark, Berlin, Conn. has been recorded as the first bird to go broody. A little later in the season all the heavier breeds are likely to lay less eggs on this account. On the other hand they are not in general expect- ed to exhibit their maternal instinct at this season particularly when the prevailing price of eggs is considered. The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows: Plymouth Rocks. Pen. ceeded for a few days, but the animals| 4 Jules ¥. Francais (Barred) W. (D. S.

New York, Dec. .—Hopes of counsel for the defense that their pleadings for a dismissal of the case against the eleven former directors of the New Haven railroad, charge dwith criminal conspiracy under the Sher- man law, might result favorably, were demolished today by the remarks of Judge Hunt. Answering the conten- tion of counsel of Charles M. Pratt, that the acts of his client constituted “the normal conduct of a director in the legitimate performance of his duty,” Judge Hunt said that while in- dividual acts might be innocent, it was the result attained by the sum of them that might fall within the pro- hibition of the law. It was a ques- tion, he said, as to the purpose with which the directors were imbued and that, he indicated, was one of fact for the jury to decide. This was the third day of argument and there is at least one more in prospect before Judge Hunt will be called upon to give his final decision. Should it be unfavorable, the defense will begin the presentation of its side of the evidence and it is not unlike- ly several of the eleven defendants will go on the stand in their own be- half.
