The success of next spring’s lamb crop depends largely on the management of the fiock this fall. ‘Before the breeding season begins, the owner should care- fully go over his flock and assort the ewes, Old ewes that have lost their teeth and are evidently not quite able lto go safely through the winter and t wood and | ¢ e |‘> |y i | { «onually jtaken as a voung tree. A five or ten dol can be protected and saved by tia nourish their lambs well are better consigned. to the fatteming pen. If re- tained, at least mark them so they can be given exira care and attention. Frequently such ewes are profitabie to breed; careful feeding keeps them strong till lambing time; after this, give a llberal allowance of gratn so as to push them along and they will often raise as good lambs as the other owes and be themselves ready for market shortly after the lambs are weaned. All ewes with a gpoiled vdder should be taken out of the breeding flock. Such ewes are quite often found and to have them drop lambs without the ability to suckle them, only entails ui necessary suffering.. Ews lambs un- cer a year old should be removed and not bred. There is a temptation to breed the young immature ewes, par- ticularly if they are well grown, but it’s a better plan not to do this as it leads to a steady decrease in the =ize of your sheep and the heavy drain weakens the ewe’s constitution so that she is more susceptible to attacks of parasites, Just before breeding time the ewes ould have a little extra feed if zrass not abundant. The reason for tra care at this period is that if the ewes are in fine, thrifty conditfon at msung time, they will conceive more rapidly and drop a larger number of twins. Another reason is that a sheep which starts into the winter in good thrift comes through much stronger ond on less feed than one in poor heaith. A handful of grain fed in Cc- tober or November is worth a pack of red to a thin ewe in January; 'not that the flock should be neglected later on, but it is essential that sheep shou'd enter winter well fortified and strons.

There are several causes for the death of apple trees most of which can be almost wholly avoided. Attacks by borers are perhaps the most gen- al reason for these losses. Apple tree borers kill a host of young trecs. Ten minutes to a tree is about U time required to dig out the borers and kill them. Suppose yvou discov a4 young tree that looks sickly and growing too slowly; a close exam nation of the base of the wrunk will probably show little bunches of brown powder that looks like sawdust. 'nder the bark you will find a channel that leads to a white worm—the apple free borer—that is killing the tree. These borers hatch from ezgs laid in the bark by a brown besztle with white stripes on its back, It takes nearly three years for the horers 7o become full grown. Thus you may expect to find in the tree trunkg some little borers, some middle sized borers and some big borers. Treat them all alike. The younger they are killed off, the less damage tQey do.

The failure of the stomach to do this is called indigestion or dyspepsia, with its sour risings, gas, rumblings, pain, depression and the feeling of stuffi- ness when breathing is difficult. The most ‘effective remedy and the most reliable one, because you can get it at any drug store in the United States or Canada, is Stuart’s Dyspep- sia Tablets, at 50 cents a box.

Holdeu. In the Northern Corn Belt the past summer was - unusually cool. and corn is late. This makes it possible that much of this year's corn crop will not fully mature, and every northérn corn grower should be prepared to handle soft corn. At the Towa State colleze, at Ames, and at other places, last winter expe- riments in drying corn in the crib by causing heated air to circulate through it were conducted with more or less success, but the apparatus used in these experiments was of such a chs acter as to make it rather expensive to the average farmer to dry his corn in that way. But any farmer can provide himself with ventilating racks for his crib which will materially aid tle natural drying process by making it possible for air to ulate throush the corn. Every facility for the circulation of zir through corn should be provided, even in years when corn is fully ma- tured when harvested. Corn stored in a crib, will gather m@sture and this often causes the corn in ‘the center of the pi'e to mold. If corn is soft when harvested, Gang: the of its heating and molding in the erib is, of course, greatly increased. As tl practically destroys its mar- ket value and greatly reduces its feed- ing value, every effort shevld be made to prevent molding. A V-shaped ventilating rack can be constructed at little expense by using such old lumber as may he available. The exact dimensions of these racks are immuaterial, put'a rack 5 feet long, 3 feet high, and 2 feet wide at the base, will be found converient to han- die, and a number of them: can be “stor- ed in a small space when rot in use. The racks should be placed, end to end. upon the floor of the empty crib, extending down the center of the crib its entire length. The two end racks must he close enough to the ends of the crib to prevent the corn from fall- ing down between and choking up the entrance to the air space under the racks. This will give a free circulation of air through the center of the pile of corn, which will greatly tscilitate the drying process. If the corn is in such condition as to make it advisable to dry it by forc- ing hot air through it, racks will a dy ch nnel for carrying the lw‘.urfl air into the center of the pile. from where it can easily radi- ate between the ears in 2l directions. CLEAR THE WAy FOR ESSENTIALS It used to he that as 1 as a man was reasonahly peaceable &znd not un- reasonably lazy, other foiks did not bother much what he did. times have changed. Now the same man must not only be reascnably busy, but he must be busy at a reascnably essential essential ta clse along comes the government. faps him om the shoulder and telis him to move on and find a real job. And so it is with the farmer in a measure. Gone are the mood old days of winter when we used to play cards and drink apple cider, only stopping to eat dinner and feed the stock.

We love to har- vest a big crop and hate io fool with a poor one. It is easier to improve the hay crop than any other crop grown. Experiments have proven that by sim- ply top dressing the meadow with fer- tilizer the crop production may be doubled or tripled. It is hard to understand why we do it, unles: is because of cur delight- ful American habit of expanding—ex- panding beyond ourselves at times. This is a habit which we will have to overcome.

MILK AND HOUSING TO BE TWO TOPICS DISCUSSED Insofar as considering matters of particular civic importanc2 the open meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to be held this (Wednesday) evening, will be one of the most important ever conducted by this body. There are three major projects to he considered and acted upon, and there will be speakers of national repuiztion to pre- sent. them before the full member- ship of the chamber. The first has to do with the pasteur- milk supply having its origin in New Lon- don county, necessitating the installa- tion of a pasteurization and. distribut- ing plant both in Norwich and New London. This matter will be present- ed by Dr. H. C. Cody, Federal Health Officer and W. R. Purrington. his milk expert. This matter is being taken up county-wise because of the Federal government making it compulfory, where there are army canionments, or other war branch activities located, to have all m delivered to these bases pasteurized. This also is applicable where there are a large aumber of civilians being employed in war work. In order that New Loncon County milk producers may haye proper pro- tection, the plan is underway .where- by central plants may be established for pasteurizing all local milk sup- ply. The second big feature o the even- ing will be that of listening to repre- sentatives of the U. S. Housing Cor- poration, whn are coming to Norwich by invitation of the chamber in re- sponse to our request that a share of the Federal moners may be appropri- ated for the housing of Norwich war workers.
