MARKETING EGGS. Some Points Which Ought to Get Con- sideration. The pottryman’s problem in ‘market- ME eggs may be stated as how to avoid those conditions which are responsible for the deterioration of the product during the time that must clapse be- tween its production and consumption. The correct and careful working out of this problem will result in the highest cash returns for the eggs pro- duced Some of the points to be considered in_this conlnection are: 1. Proyide plenty of nests and keep them clean and dry. This is important to prevent solled eggs. 2. Collect eggs twice each day. In very hot weather three times a day is better. During the warm weather an egz will spoil in a short time.

Do not wajt until you #nd your cab- bage plants being riddled by the cab- bage worm next spring or until you discover your squash vines walting before the attach of armies of small but very hungry squash bugs.

The owners of the Willimantic Wet Wash Laundry have let their plans for their new building that is to be erected on the site of the building which was recently destroved by fire. Work is already progressing very rap- idly on the building and it is expected that it will be completed before the colder weather sets in. Jesse Byron has let the contract for the building of a ten-room house. on Quarry street to Hornberger . and Rouillard of this city. Ground was broken last Saturday and the work s going on with excellent results. The work on the land of the corner of Walnut and Main streets on which the garage is to be built for the Leon- ard brothers, is completed ‘and work will soon start on the garage itsels The excavation for the cellar and for the gasoline tank has also been com- pleted.. It is now thought that the sarage will be ready for occupancy some time next mont: POQUONNOC The cellar for the Baptist parsonage in Poquonnoc is completed and Mar- quardt Brothers will start on the structure early next week. of $2,500 has been promised, others' who wish to contribute will be gladly welcomed on the Lst. It is desired to have the money gathered in by the first of November and the so- licitors will go about soon to make the collections. The call for money for the parsonage has been responded to nobly and many who would not be e: pected to contribute largely have sur prised the people by their gifts. It is expected the building will be completed and ready for occupancy by Christmas time and if so the season will be a specially glad one for the people of Poquonnoc. FLANDERS Work on the new Flanders has been at standstill ever since the death of the Willard of Madison several and towspeople are wonderir the work will be resumed a was expected that the building > be opened after the New Years hol- idays but it is now evident that it will not be ready before next fall at the earliest.

All boards, brush, weeds, and other rubbish should be atided to the bonfire. and other insects pass the winter in the ground, oftentimes in earthen cells shaped by their own feet. Many of these will not be on hand in the spring to start new families if their winter homes are disturbed by the plow thi: fall. Some would be killed by expo ure after having their cells broken open, others would become the prey of birds and_animals, while still others would be buried too deep for them to emerge in the spring. Fall plowing, whenever possible, is one of the im- portant methods to use in insect war- fare. There are some insects that we are certain to have in injurious numbers each year and so it is wise to use preventive measures against these, rather than _wait until our crops are attacked. Much good can be accom- plished along this line by cleaning up crop remnants and rubbish and by fall plowing.—J. A. Manter, Department of Entomology. Connecticut Agricultural College. FEEDING YOUNG PIGS. Some Methods Which Have Produced Good Results. It pays to feed the young pig as much as possible, both through the mother and later directly from. the trough. Never again will he make such rapid and cheap gains, and it pays to keep him growing as rapidly as possible while young. To this end the sow should be given all the good milk producing feed she will eat. When the pigs are about a month cld they will begin to need something in addition to the mother’s milk, even though she is well fed. As soon as the pigs will eat they should have skim milk in a shallow pan, then a slop made of milk, some shorts, a little bran, and some oil meal or tankage. If this is fed with corn, and the pigs are given plenty of exer- cise, there should be no trouble from either thumps or scours. Mix by weight, rather than measure four parts of corn, four parts of shorts, one part of bran and one part of tankage. The little pigs should always be fed in ‘a creep of some kind—that is, in a small pen into which they can come and which shuts out the sows and larger pigs that would otherwise rob them. As the pigs become older, the amount of corn In the ration may be gradually increased until it has been doubled. In addition to these methods of feed- ing, which have given good results at the Missourl College of Agriculture, two prime essentials must be kept in mind: The pigs must be In he sun- shne, and direct light should get -into the sleeping quarters to kill disease germs. Plenty of exercise is also im- portant. SHEEP HINTS. This is the way a blooded ram im- proves the flock: The first year the lambs ‘are much finer than the stock ewes in use. The carcasses and the fleece are greatly increased In weight, White grubs, wire worms, cutworms | and abuyer will select the improved grades at once and bid for them. It is a temptation to let all the choice young ewes go when a sood offer is made. It is the part of wis- dom to keep ‘at least 50 per cent. of them to increase the home flock, but sell the aged ewes. A good way to dispose profitably of old ewes is to separate them and give them extra feed until they are plump and tender. Do not smile. Old sheep can be made so by a little care. Then dress them off, one at a time, and sell them by the quarter or half quarter te neighbors who need inexpensive meat. You will be quite surprised to see the same customers ready to repeat time after time. ‘Wool and meat now command such prices that the keeping of small flocks is evervwhere urged. A beginner will make no mistake to start with six to ten voung ewes and “learn the trade;” and a profitable trade it is. The bene- fits to the farm are to be counted among the profits. Owing to the great war wool will be high in price for many, vears to come. Sheep help solve the Rired man prob- lem. They make less work on the farm. OREGONS TAKE LEAD IN FIFTIETH WEEK. Preparations for New Contest at Storrs to Open November First. The new breed known as “Oregons” they originated at the Oregon tural College at Corvallis, was > best producing pen in the fiftieth week of the laying contest at Stor with a yield of 45 eggs. Obed G.

Hen No. owned by A. P. Robin- “alverten, N. Y., now has a record 280 eggs. If she can succeed in laying three more ezgs during the next two weeks she will be entitled to the medal of honer. She is already the best hen in the current contest. If | she can add these three eggs to her present score she will have the best record of any hen that has ever been trapnested a: Storrs which means that she will stand out as the one best bird | out of four thousand that have been trapnested during the past five years.

H. L. Garrigus, Storrs in this country. From 1907 to 1813 the number of cattle steadily declined in this cquntry. Since 1913 this ce- cline has been checked, and there has been a turn upward. However, the in- crease has not been sufficient to restore the country to anything like its live- stock wealith of 1907. In that vear there were 72,534,000 cattle; there are now only 61,441,000. “The number of hogs has deridedly increased since 1910. In that year there were 58,200,000 hogs; January 1 1916, there were 68,000,000. In 1910 there were 52,500,000 sheep in the country, while this year there are only 49,200,000 “These figures would seem to ind cate that hogs are the favorite mon: making livestock proposition. it isn't difficult to understand why the coun- try is now importing rather more beef and mutton than it exports, or why it is still - able to export considerable amounts. of pork. If it pays betier to raise hogs than cattle, why honldn’t this country accept that fact, raise hogs, sell them and buy beef with the proceeds? Certain it that so Jong as there is no tariff protection on beef that very thing may be expected to happen.” GROWING OATS FOR GRAIN LOSES MONEY. A writer in Farm and Fireside says: “‘Men who Bave been growing cats for grain have been losing money, we are told by experts who have invest gated conditions in Chester county, Pennsylvania. 1 have found the same thing to be true in our sect so 1 have been cutting oats for than to harvest them for zrain. “Last spring we had frequent show- ers which made the oats come out fust, so that much of the crop was five feet tall. Hence, the six acre piece I had in oats turned off much hay, and fine hay it was. While 1 did not weight it, 1 estimated it at something over 12 tons, worth $20 a ton baled, here in our section. I kept a record of the cost ver ton for the oats hay and found it was $75 a ton. I baled aond sold about half, ‘retaining the balance for | my own use. I do not believe it a good plan to sell much hay from the farm. Practically all the roughness should be fed animals on the farm, while cream, butter, or the finished product ~only should be sold. “I believe that each farmer should keep a cost record of every crop grown, so that he may know which crop, 1f a is produced at a loss. Then as soon as he learns which crop is unprofitable, he should cut out the unprofitable one and srow something else in its place. We farmers are in} the same position with the manufac- turer, who must keep an exact record of cost and production. Otherwise he could not know on which article he is making a profit, or perhaps losing money on another article.” The Wide-Awake Circle {| (Continued from Page Nine) made fun of him. he was crazy. for many years.

It was found by ither Hennepin, a French explorer, who was traveling throus our country in 1679. Coal is now found in Pennsylvania, Iilinois, Utah, Colorado and other states. Coal is black and comes in big lumps. Ther re two kinds of coal—the bituminous and anthracite. The bituminous is soft coal and can be broken without any trouble; but the anthracite coal is as hard as stone and is very hard to oreak.
