A meeting of local men interested in the forming of a new city club was held recently. A committee was appointed to investigate new headquarters which will probably be in'a new building to be erected by Judge Alexander Arnott. Preliminary plans for the building provide for a frame structure to con- tain six rooms. The Committee con- sists of Augustus Green, Clwde Truax and Willard B. Rogers. George H. Allen was the lowest bidder for furnishing 3,000 bags of cement to be used .by the town -as needed. The bids were $1.63 per bar- rel at the warehouse. The Manches- ter Lumber Co. bid $1.75 per barrel delivered and $1.68 per barrel at the warehouse. The town reserves the right to purchase from any other dealer also to share any reductions in some situations all machines require moisture, while in-others none re- quire much. means may be supplying moisture. All of the leading in- cubators are manufactured as near alike as possible as far as ventilation, and heat circulation is concerned, eombination of radiation and mfl' sion being the common met] supplying heat. Hot air machines l.te more to be desired than hot water in- cubators because there is one less, op- portunity for disaster. Hot water gives a very fine kind of heat and some of the most popular machines are Hleateg in' this manner, but hot air machines are more easily and quickly regulated and are more de- pendabl. ‘The size of the incubator should b' regulated by the size of the breeding flock which the purchaser plans to use. Eggs should not be kept more than ten days before they are placed in the machines and better not longer than one week. Therefore a flock of 60 hens will provide eggs for a 240 machine, while any smaller flock would mean that the poultryman should hatch his eggs in some of the smaller sizes. K For. the small poultry- man the 120 to 150 egg size seems most desirable. This will provide a sufficient amount of hatching capacity for his breeding flock and the average hatch will provide about the right number of chickens to be handled comfortably in the ordinary kerosene heated brooder. Poultrymen with large breeding flocks should plan to use the 380 egg size incubators. They hatch just as large a percentage of the eggs and for less mcney, because it does mnot take much more kerosene to run a 390 egg incubator than it does one of the smaller sizes. Incubators that have been used in previous seasons shoul dbe thorough- ly cleaned and disinfected before.they are started this year. New burlap should be placed in the bottom of the R.

The sixth anniversary of the federal incorporation of the Scout move-~ ment will be celebrat: . the gramme of special activities has been arrarged. A ‘As usual, the anniversary week cele- bration will begin on Sunday. During the past few years there has been de- veloping an increasing interest in the Sunday programme and the number of inquiries which have been received at headquarters recently indicates that a greater interest than ever will be taken this year in this feature of the work. The principal feature of the Sunday exercises will be the special boy scout sermons which will be preached in hundreds of churches. Scoutmasters are urged to consult with the pastors of thelr local churches and arrange for some sort of a scout service on February 6. Wherever it is practicable to do so, it is suggested that the troop attend the church service on this day in uniform. National headquarters will be glad to cooperate with pastors hy supplying whatever information they may need in the preparation of boy scout sermons. Special Features For February 8.

NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW IN NEW ENGLAND To Be Held In October at Springfield —Plans Developing Rapidily. Springfleld, Mass, Jan. plans for the holding of the Dairy Show this year in New England at Springfield, are developing rapidly. The interest of the farmers through- out the six states is keen, as indi- cated at the various meetings and con- ventions held since the announcement of the coming of this, the greatest event of its kind in the world, to this section. Prof. W. P. B. Lockwood, who has been detailed by the trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, to give the next three months to the work of informing the farmers' bodies of New England of the plans, reports that at the conventions he has so far attended - he found ‘the farmers very anxious to know about this movement in behalf of the agriculture of New England and equally anxious that it shall be a success. The National Dairy Show was the means of revising the dalry interests of the middle West, and that an an- nual National Show will do the same for New England, ie the belief of the men behind the Eastern States Agri- cultural and Industrial Exposition, which will conduct the exhibition Oc- tober 12 to 21 a date late enough not to interfere with any other New Eng- lang fair. That such revival is needed here is indicated by the single fact that in Massachusetts alone in ten years the number of cows has decreased mearly 20 per cent; in 1914 the de- crease was 4531. In New Hampshire and Maine in the same ten year period ! the decrease was larger than in the Bay state. If the New England farmers can be shown how to increase their dairy herds and other farm operations with a profit to themselves and an accom- panying galn In the fertility of the soil, the men behind this movement say everybody will reap the benefit, 26.—The National 1.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS and they have the greatest confidence in the success of their plans. The National Dairy Show was or- ganized ten years ago by a group of men of the middle west, business men largely, who realized the eco- nomic need of getting in step with the farmers whose business was not prosperous. The United States De- partment of Agriculture and the State Boards at once gave it hearty sup- port, and from an exhibit the first year of about 300 head of cattle, the show has grown until the Jlast one given had 2000 head on exhibition and the total attendance was 360,000 per- sons. All the shows have been held In Chicago. When it was decided to go eisewhere for 1916, a dozen lead- ing cities of the middle West made active campaigns to secure it, for they all knew its tremendous value as an agricultural stimulus. A group of businessmen, manufacturers, bankers and others of Springfileld and Hol- yoke, influenced by the great success of the Hampden County Improvement igue in aiding the farmers of that section, determined to bring the Na- tional Show to New_England. Their argument before the directors of the Association was that New England needed it more than any other sec- tion of the country, and their plea was so strongly supported by five gov- ernors, the presidents of the six Agri- cultural Colleges and others who have the clearest understanding of the rural needs of this section, that the directors very gladly assented. Having secured the greatest farm event of the year for New England, it is now proposed to hold it under con- ditions which will assure the widest Only 25¢ | mont and most lasting benefits. On a tract of 186 acres which has already been developed at a cost of more than $30,000, there will be erect- ed a group of permanent buildings, of concrete and steel, designed by the best exhibition architects. The whole investment will represent $750,000. The campaign to raise this large sum is already under way. Springfleld, Hol- yoke and their neighbors will vide $500,000. It ie expected that 26 men will subscribe $10,000 each. Shares of a par value of $25 will be taken by the citizens generally to an aggregate of another 50,000. The balance of the sum required will come from New England as 2 whole. directors of the Eastern States Exposition, beaides having a vision of tha future, have based this better- ment movement on the facts of the present. The middle West and South are today the source of 75 cu'nt of the food supply cf New While the wage earners of New En, land have Increased in number from 821,835 in 1360 to 1,101,290 in 1909, the population from 3,110,872 to 6,852,681, the acres under cull ion in the six atates have decreased trom 12,215,773 to fluus Figures m: ted at 328 towns lolt 337,008 Ppopulation, ‘Much has been done to put New the agricultural England back on t! map. ‘County leagues have grown in num- ber and influence in Massachusetts and Connecticu: in strides have been made in the organi- zation of farmers’ unions and in Ver- associations have worh :N e groat extent these efforts have been local- ized, but they have “spread the gos- pel” until farmers everywhere -are awake to the possibilities of a bet- ter understanding of united action and improved methods. Therefore, now is the best oppor- tunity, in the opinion of the rural betterment authorities who have been the active advisers in the present en- terprise, to begin a_ campaign that shall embrace every farmer in New England and bring about speedily a restoration of its chief industry— [ agriculture. An annual National Show will at- tract to New England the best ex- perts in every branch of farming; it will bring here for exhibition and competition 2000 of the best epecimens of every breed of cattle, sheep and swine, and a great show of horses and poultry; it will be a great ex- change for ideas and suggestions; it will bring to the attention of New England Farmers a]l the best methods to make their business profitable. Let Hampden County produce what Hampden, County consumes,” the slo- gan of the Hampden league, has been revised to read “Let New England produce what New England .con- sumes.” The influence of the Hampden Lea- gue last vear added $655,000 to the farm incomes and values of that one county; that the influence of the movement represented by the Eastern States Exposition and Natlonal Dairy Show wil do_the same thing in vary- England is the firm bellef of its di- rectors. STANDARD FOR THE HERD. Labor and Feed Wasted on Unprofit- able Cows. One of the most {important steps which general farmers can take is to set a standard for each dairy cow and live up to it. To buy_ fertilizers and seeds and hire a good deal of labor to grow many farm crops and then feed ‘the products to unprofitable cows meaifs that a large per cent of the year's work is lost. Conse- quently proper precautions should be taken by every dairyman to see that each individual in the herd is bring- ing profit instead of loss. He should set the standard suffi- ciently high to allow him to receive a profit and If he finds by records (and this i{s the only way to find it out) that any individudl is not com- ing up to the standard he - should promptly dispose of it unless he be- lleve the animal has every chance of making m\lch greater ‘production the e This must be con- siderable if lt is to make up the loss of the past v and make a profit for the present., The standard for each indfvidual hould be made from 5500 to 6000 milk pounds per year. When this standard .is reached for the herd a higher standard should ‘be made and worked for. To do this one must keep sufficient record of the quantity and quality of milk produced and know the cost of feed for each in- dividual and weed out gradually the poorer unprofitable animals. . PREPARING THE INCUBATOR. Should Be Thoroughly Cleansed Be- fore Using—Hints for Buyers. Poultrymen who plan to hatch chickens in March should be making plans to start their incubators soon, and in order that most satisfactory results shall be obtained the DI'UD“-I' tion of the incubator should be due eonddanunn. Al Tt ing degrees for every county in New to place them in warm water at a temperature of 108 degrees by some thermometer which is known to .be accurate. Incubators which, are run year after year without any -special care 4s to cleanliness and adjustment of equipment never give satisfactory results after a few years. THE WHITE WYANDOTTES MADE A CLEAN SWEEP In Twelfth Week of Laying Contest at Storrs. The hens in the layving contest at Storrs yielded 95 eggs more in the twelfth than in the preceding week or a total of 2047 eggs. This is slightly less than the yield for the correspond- ing week last yvear, but more than dou- ble the yield for the 'corresponding period two years ago. ‘The White Wyandottes outdistanced all the other 18 varieties in the com- petition and made a clean sweep of all first places for the week. First hon- ors go to P. W. Backus, Chatham, On- tario, whose pen laid 46 esgs. Obed G. Knight's pen from Bridgeton, R. 1., ‘was a close second with 45 to their credit, and two English pens, namely, Tom Barron's m Catforth, and Abel Latham’s frog Brierfield, tied for third place with 40 eggs each. Three sug- gestive. changes occurred - during the week in the leading pens; the birds of P. W. Backus mentioned above are now third pen in the Wyandotte class. A. ‘W. Rumery’s pen .from Danville, N. H., moved up from third to second place in the Rhode Island Red class, HOW SPRING MOTORCOATS WILL LOOK the birds in the contest have been officlally scored by an authorized Judge, Thl! has been done for the Durpoke of ascertaining the showroom quality of all the specimens entered in the laying contest. In tabulating and summarizing the scores of the Barred Plymouth Rocks, it is foum} ut of that the best single individual the one hundred birds of this breed is Hen No. 24. that scored 900 points out of a possible 1000 for perfect. The best average pen score was 879. Both the best pen and the best individual are owned by Frank L. Tuttle, Ash- land, Mass. The average pen score of all the pens in this group is 861. It is .interesting to note in this connec- tion that the best laying pen of Bar- red Rocks scored second best as fancv | fowls. Only two per cent. of the birds entered were disqualified; one of these was for113v‘lh€ white ear lobes and the other for having a side spriz on her comb.
