BULLETIN, CHILD DROWNED IN YANTIC RIVER fijest are towring Canada by auiome- | Seven Year Old Jeremiah Sceno Fell From Railroad Birdge North of Chelsea Boat Club—Life Extinct When Body Miss Mary Hayes of Prospect street committee held a meeting on | i companies totalled §725. ... Was Pulled From Water. Seven year old Jeremiah Scheno of School street met death by drowning early Wednesday ecvening when he fell into the Yantic river while play- ing on the railroad bridge just north of the Chelsea Boat club. The child lost his balance and tumbled headfirst into the water. He was in the water about 20 minutes before he was pulled ashore. As far as could be learned, the drowned boy was playing with another boy of about the same age and fell from tité bridee while walking a rail. The second boy, whose name is Joe, ran to the drowned boy’s relatives and told them of the accident. Fred AVilliams made an attempt to save the boy and dove several times before he succeeded in locating the child and bringing him to the surface. A hurry call had been sent dut for a doctor and a telephone operator no- tified Dr. Louis T. Ci that a phy- sician’s services weére needed. T. Cassidy went immediately to the scene but the child’s life was extinct. In the hope that the use of a pulmotor might rekindle the spark of life, the child was rushed to the Backus hos- pital by Dr. Cassidv in his automobile, and the doctor worked over the boy a full half hour, but td no avail. The only pulmotor in the city is kept at the Backus hospital, and Dr. Cas- sidy took the boy to the hospital in his own machine instead of waiting for the ambulance, in order to save time. The child is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Scheno, who reside on School street, near John street. Medical Examiner C. C. Giidersleeve viewed the body at the nospital and after conducting an investigation into the facts of the case gave his verdict as accidental drowning. . LOCAL COMPANIES NOW AT THE ARMORY. Soldier Boys Are Eagerly Waiting for the Call to Move. “Halt! Who goes there?” This was what greeted anyone, soldier or civil- ian, who attempted to go into the ar- mory on McKinley avenus yesterday, for the local militia companies are in uniform, readv for the final word that will start them off for the active duty that they have been waitiig for sige rhe break with Germany. The sight of the men in khaki has been a stimu- lating one, if cne may judge from the number of applicants for enlistments yesterday. Hoth companies are now well over war strength, with a large number of men waiting to be examinaf by the surgeons. The Fifth company was on guard duty Wednesday, and they certainly did keep a military strictness about the armory. Lieuten- ant Nichols was officer of the day and Lieutenant Avery was commandant of the guard. Sergeant Bartoluccli had general charge of the men on guard duty, while Corporals Ricketts, Rob- inson and Jewett acted as his assist- ants, taking four hours off duty for every two on Guty. Bugler Dougherty was musician of the guard. The Fifth company's _baggage was all packed early Wednesday even- ing, but Sergeant R. O. Fletcher of the Third company worked untll near midnight before the baggase «f the Third company was finally locked up In the big chests. The company com- manders had orders to have all bag- gage ready to move by 1 o'clock Thursday at the latest. Over half of the men stayed at the armory over night, the others—those living in the city—sleeping in itheir own homea. The men are all eager to go and selrz with avidity the many rumors relative to_their departure. Wednesday the companies, with the exception of the men on guard duty, drilled on Chelsea Parade. Both morn- ing and afternoon saw the veterans struggling with open order drills and the “rookies” mystified with ‘“squads left.” The companies were each @i- vided into two piatoons, one composed of the older men and the other of the new reeruits. One of the company officers &aid that he had never seen troops take to the drills so easil Lieutenant Dritton of the regular arm has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the position of first lieutenant of the Third compa The soldiers of cpmpanies were the recipients of many gifts Wednes- day morning when they left home.

N. @., arrived .in New London, Wednesday afternoon in a special train with ail baggage from Bridgeport. The com- pany is under the command of Capt. A. C. Bennett and went at once to Fort Wright. There are over 100 men in the detachment, including a num- ber of rookies The reason that this company has arrived hefore the others is that it is already in the federai service. The Eleventh company at Bridgeport which is in the federal service also will arrive in New London probably Thursday and go to the forts. Col. Henry S. Dorsey, commander of the Connmecticut Artillery corps, whose headquarters is at the state armory in Washington street, New Jondon, received orders for the de- parture’ of the men under his com- mand, from the war department Wed- nesday morning. The orders are that all the Coast Artillery militia of Con- necticut assemble in New London and go to Fort Wright Saturday morn- 3 P Every_member of the Firat Do €L . C.'N.

Only one member of the Tenth Co. was missing at roll call and it is understood by the offi- cers that he is now in the federal ser- vice in France. The men now in the service will be siven their June examinations when they reach camp. _It generally hap- pens that 10 to 20 men are dropped from each company on that examina- tion on account of disabilities which makes them exemnt. Their places will be filled by the extra men who can pass the examination and if there are not enough reserves their enlist- ments will be secured.

The chicken farm at the state farm for inebriates is approaching its gaml rather slowly but none the less surely. At present there are about 300 laying liens and over 1,000 chicks in the plant, which occupies most of the time of two men. This has grown from 100 Lens bought from A. G, Dustin, one of the best White Wyandotte breeders in New England, in Janpary, 1816. The entire plant is run on a strictly scien- tific basis, so that the flock will give the largest returns for the smallest outlay. In the beginning it was ham- pered by the iack of funds, but if the expected appropriation materializes it is possible that the plant will be im- mediately enlarged so that besides supplying the hospital and farm with cggs there will be enough for nearby markets go that the plant will be seif supporting. There are four semi-monitor type houses with a capacity of 100 hens each and two breeding house of two pens each, each pen having room for ten hens ‘and one cockerel, besides many smaller houses used for the new- ly hatched chicks. The semi-monitor houses are 20x20 and the breeding houses are 16x16, while the other houses vary in size. With each house there is a large run. The houses face south and the yards are on the north side so that the bushes and shrubs in them cast their shadows in such a manndr that they make a fine shade. All the houses are equépped with trap nests of the Sandborne type. Oareful records are kept of the pro- cuction of each hen and then the flock is culled according to the showing of these records. When a hen lays an cgg she cannot escape from the nest without cutside aid. When she is re- leased by the man the number on her leg band is noted and she is credited with one egs cn the list posted in the coop. From these lists monthly and vearly totals are compiled and from these the numbers of the non- ducing hens are obtained and they are killed. The best record for the farm is 206 eggs in ten months. Each year the best hens are selected and bred with cockerels from the best producing hens. The result is the producing of a fine laying strain. This year there have been four pens of ten hens and one cockerel each. The hens all 1 over 180 eggs during their pullet y r Another yvear it is hoped to grade the pens, that is have in pen A those hens that laid over 200 eggs. in peri B those that laid from 190 to 0, etc. The hens are fed a ration night and morning which consists of corn, wheat, oats, buckwheat, kaffir corn and barley at the rate of 10 quarts to each 100 hens. A mash consisting of bran, wheat middlings, *ground oats, linseed meal and beef scraps is kept before the hens all the time. At this rate a ton and a half of grain is consumed every month. In the winter this is varied with green food, mostly cabbage. The surplus cockerels and the non-pro- ducing hens were killed at Thanksgiv- mg and Christmas, so that 900 pounds of meat were sent to the hospital on this occasion. On the ave about 15 hens are killed off from the flock each month for non-prqduction. To be considered a god layer a hen must lay at least 120 eggs a vear. At the aver- age local price of eggs this means about $3.50 will be taken in. It costs approximately $2 to feed a ken for a vear at the present high price of grain, and the labor amounts to about 50 cents a year, so that he profit is but 51 a r on each laying hen. The chicks are hatched from the eggs of the best producers in a Candis 1,200 egg Incubator. The first are hatched early in the spring so that they begin to Jav about the first of October and the last ones hatchs® do not begin to jay until the first of January. The brood last hatched are mow In the brooders and are so young that they still have a fire in the brooder wights. The largest chicks hatched this spring now weigh about three pounds. They are allowed to forage for their green food, but they also- receive the same ration as_the hens after the first two weeks. During the first two weeks they are fed sour milk. Recently turkeys have been added to the povitry department, and while they are only an experiment as yet they will probably form an important part of the department in the near fu- ture. They were started with three male and three female birds, from which 30 eggs wsre obta’ned for hatch- Ing. This vear there are 11 adult birds and at present about 50 eggs in the process of incubation. The ma- nure, which i€ estimated by experts at Storrs as being six times as strong as stable manure, is kept in a stone-lined pit under the feed house. UNABLE TO IMPORT SHEEP. Railroad Regulations Prevents Ship- ment of Less Than a Full Carload Ordered. The committee of food supply of the Connecticut State ‘Council of De- fense has encountered a snag in its attempt to import sheep into the state. Orders were received at the office of the committee for a num- ber of sheep, but not for a full car. Due to the ruling of the railroads prohibiting shipping less than a full car, it is impossible to bring in those ordered and it has been found necessary to return the money to those who placed orders.

Try it! For a few cepts you ean get a small bottle of the magic drulk freezone re- cently discovered by a Cincinnati man. Just ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone. Apply a few drops upon a tender, ach- ing corn or callus and in- stantly all soreness d pears and shortly you find the corn or callus so loose that you lift it off with the fingers. Just think! Not one bit of pain before applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn’t even irritate the surrounding skin. Hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes also hardened calluses on bottom of feet, shrive up and fall off without hurting particle. It is almost magical. Ladies! Keep a tiny bot- tle on the dresser and never let a corn or callus eche twice. 5-cent loaf one-half an ounce was allowed for short weight. This al. Jowance is now’extended to 10 apd 15-cent loaves. But tt llowance for the individual loaf only. It does not extend to a number of loaves that may be sold in bulk. For stance, on hundred loaves must weigh 'exactly one hundred times the weight which a sir loaf is unde stood by the buyer to contain. Tha reason for this distinction is while an individual loaf might be, th h no fault of the baker, one- half ounce short, the supposition that in_a number loaves thera would be a sufficlent number over the required weight to make up for the light loaves.
