When school opens next Monday on the Island the pupils and teachers, as well as others, will have cause to be proud of the new quarters which they will occupy. The school building now nearly completed is built of hollow tile mostly. with a stucco finish on the outside, and finished on the inside with plaster board. There are a num- ber of features that make it modern and up-to-date and very ettractive. The building is as near fireproof as possible, having a large furnace and a good ventilating system, besides be- ing fitted with eleotric bell clock at- tachment. It has two entrances to the corridor, the doors being fitted with bar locks which allow hasty exit, the doors being wide. There is a li- brary, an assembly room and three recitation rooms. ' The recitation rooms have slate on two sides of heavy block for demonstration work, and also a glass front bookcase for the teachers' books. Just irside the doors there is a fountain of running water of the latest sanitary design. In the basement are two lavatories, one for the boys and one for the girls, and finely fitted with all the modern im- provements. The building iIs situated away from the main line of travel and ]uud by farmers is of inferior qual- ity as to its productive ability. four best varieties that were grown ylelded the following number of bushels per acre: 74.3, T4, 72.3, 70.9. The four poorest vielded 53.1, 55, 49.9, 45.8. ! Many corn growers are undoubtedly using the same quality seed as were used in these instances. The only way of getting into the upper class is to uge good seed. To get good seed it must be selected. The best way to select it is to do it yourself by going through your own cornflelds and se- lecting those ears which are grown under normal conditions and which are ideal ears. To do this you must take time just before a frost to go throush the fleld and select those ears that have matured properly and are as ideal as possible. After selecting . these ears carc should be taken in the way they are stored duripg the fall and early winter months. Each ear should be labeled, half of it shelled, and the seed from each ear grown in a row Dby itself. From the measured yields of each row it will be possible to find out which ear is the highest producer. From these highest producers the seed which has been retained on the half- ear can be utilized for seed the com- ing year. “OREGONS” WERE LEADERS AT STORRS Connecticut Hens Got the First and Second Ribbons for August. The Tn the firty-fifth week of the laying contest at Storrs, the hens yielded 3025 eggs. The Agricultural “Oregons” from Corvallis, Ore. were first for the week with a production of 52 egss.

Stir up the soil between the lines and bulbs. : Summer Treatment: If the beds in which they have been blooming are wanted for bedding plants in summer, the bulbs should be taken up as soon as they are through flowering and beeled in the ground in some out-of- the-way place with the tops on, until they ripen. Then thoy may be taken up and spread in an airy room jor about two weeks until they are dry, after which pack them in dry sand or shavings and store in a cool place. When fall comes they can be planted in the beds again. HARVESTING AND HANDLING FRUIT Lack of Care a Reason Which Af- fects the Price. One reason why more fruit does not command a good price is that the grower does not handle it carefully. The fruit as it is grown Is first class, but by careless picking and packing it arrives in the market bruised and unattractive and the grower com- plains that he is not getting a fair deal. How many follow the old rule, “Handle fruit with (Ne same care that you would eggs?” inquires S. P. Hol- lister, Department of Horticulture, Connecticut Agricultural College. If this rule were followed thousands of bushels of apples, pears, peaches and berries, which now often result in a loss, would return a profit to the grower. How does your grocer handle your apples or peaches when you are mak- ing a_purchase of two quarts? Only w00 often he drops them into the measure and then ratties them into the paper sack. A bruised peach will show a brown discoloration when it is being pealed for the table and the You don't have to coax the children to eat plenty of N. B. C. Graham Crackers.

Frequently it is possible on the farm to wuse some building aiready available, and many poultry keepers who have previously 'kept cows, but heve sold them, may use a large section of the barn, either on the main floor or in the basement. In remodeling old buildings there are certain fundamental principles of poultry-house construction that must be observed just the same as in the construction of new houses. Sunlight and ventilation are essentfal. If the building to be remodeled does not face toward the south or southeast ft will not be a destrable poultry building. It should be absolutely tight except on the south or east side to prevént cir- culation of air and drafts. It should not be sheltered by other buildings or trees so that the sun cannot reach it except fof a few hours in the day, but it should be somewhat protected from prevailing winds so that the house can be kept werm' during cold winter 8. "‘Xu openings in the form of win- dows or doors on all sides except the south should be boarded up tight, and #he south side should provide all of the light and air. There should be an equal amount of glass and open front for winter use.' The ginss may Be removed during the summer. One square foot of glass and ong square foot of opeming to every 10 square feet ©f floor space is a good rule in most poultry houses. If the buflding 15 less than 12 feet deep it will be should be thoroughly renovated so that any disease germs or insect pests which infest the building will be en- tirely destroyed. This may be done with a thorough coat of whitewash, using one-half pint of crude carbolic acld to_every five gallons of white- wash. The floors and corners should be thoroughly disinfected with some £00d_disinfectant. The roosts should always be as far from the open front as possible. They may be construct- ed of two-by-four’s, rounded on the edges, or of any poles which are at least two inches in diameter. If poles are to be used they should be seasoned and the bark peeled from them, be- cause otherwise they soon shrink, the bark becomes loose and an excellent place for red mites to lodge and breed is offered. If a barn cellar is to be used for housing poultry it should be absolute- ly dry and have a sand or gravel bot- tom that will insure dryness no mat- ter how many hens are kept there. It 18 wisest to have concrete walls and concrete floor when a barn cellar is used to avold rats, which are bound to infest the building just es soon as 8rain is kept in the self-feeding hop- pers. THE BEST CORN FOR SEED With Proper Seed Selection—Yleld of Over 70 Bushels Per Acre Can Be Obtained. The Connecticut agricultural experi- ment station. has been carrying on corn variety tests of seed corn selec- tion from different Qelds in different October and early November are the Dbest months, as bulbs deteriorate when kept out of the ground. Soil: Any good, thoroughly drain- ed soil will grow bulbs well. Should the scil be of a heavy clay it can be improved by the addition of sand and well rotted stable manure. On no ac- count should fresh manure be used for bulbs. If you cannot obtain the right kind of manure use ground bone or bone meal at the rate of one pound to ten square feet. It can be used with perfect safety. the bed should be slightly raised at the centre so that the water will run off quickly. Otherwise the bulbs may rot. 3 Planting: The proper depth at which to plant bulbs varles with different kinds, as follows: Crocus, 2 to 8 Inches apart, 8 Inches deep. Snowdrops, es_deep. ‘Tulips, 4 to € inches apart. 4 inch- es_decp. Hyecinths, 7 inches apart, 5 inches Geep. Jonquils, 4 to 6 tnches apart, 5 inch- es_deep. Narcissus, 10 to 12 inches apart, § inches_deep. Hardy Liltums, 12 inches apart, 6 to 8 inches doep. Most catalougues furnish detalls for planting. Winter Protection: After the ground is frozen hard cover the beds with about six inches of leaves or coarse stable manure. Tf leaves are used throw some brush or earth on top to prevent them blowing away. ~ Re- the 2 inches apart, 8 inch- The surface of anyone who has ever given a dog a bath in a flea disinfectant _already knows the principle involved. It is simply to kill insect pests by poison- ing them with a liquid fatal to them but harmless to farm live stock. “Here are a few animal parasites Rheumatism A Home Cure Given by One Who Had It In the spring of 1893 1 was at- tacked by Muecular and Inflamma- tory Rheumatiom.
