The -usual. season for low prices of eggs has come and gone without the customary big drop in prices. The time for disposing of the surplus in breeding fowls is now at hand. with prices more than double those of for- mer years. The conditions prove that poultry and eggs arc valuable products and the days of cheap eggs and poul- try_are past and gohe. It this is true. and it surely Is, it will pay us to give our poultry not only better but the hest of care every month in the yvear. Do not think that because it is warm weather the hens and chickens will shift for themselves or any ©old plade is good enough for them te -roost . in. Every window should be opened or removed from the hen house, whether of glass, cotton, cloth or burlap. Don't be afraid of drafts during the summer, but rather bo_scared lest the birds 'suffer from close quarters and foul air. With the planting of the Kitchen tnflien!. many emall flocks that occa- slonally’ had their liberty are now con- fined continually in houses and small yards. It is often possible to yard the | garden to keep the hens and chickens out, rather than nen the poyltry in. Tf this is impracticable. there is much in the garden in the shape of weeds and surplus’ plants, together with the clip- pings from tha Jawn, that can he fed to the poultry as green food. This food should be given as soon as cut, or fed before it bocomes wilted or dry. Notwithstanding the continued hizh prices of food, more poultry wHI this summer suffer for lack of clean. pure water than for food. Water paiis and dishes will be-left in sun, allowed to | become filthy and often empty, when | they shotld be washed daily, kent fill- ed to the brim and set in the shade. Tt requires only a few minutes of time to do this, yet it may mean dollars in our pocket before the-end of the sea- son. Poultry will thrive on any of the popular ‘rations if -they get fresh air, exercise, green food and water, provid ed they ‘are not given musty, moldy grain or an overdose of salt. Mixing | the dough with corned beef brinc mackerel briie, or water used for botl- j ing hams. or feedinzx salt fish or meat, is a danzerous practice. An excess of salt is invariably fatal to poultry. Do no overlook the mites or spider lice. They will take possession of your poaitry houses if vou are doirg nothing {10 prevent them. When they once zet a footing, it isn’t long before they act | as if they owned the nremises and be- zin to eat it up. Cleaning the house is good when we go from the roof to | the floor. Spraving the house with | lime wash is a good remedy. Creosote | ofl., naphthalene flake or carbolic acld | added to the lime or whitewash makes it more lasting. FERTILIZERS TO BE CHEAPER. Lowet fertilizer cost is a forecast of the dephrtment of agriculture follow- ing conferences with manufacturers and looking toward the fall season of | 1919. The department reports it is in ia position to announce that farmers should obtain their mixed fertilizers next fall at an average price about 20 per cent. Jower than the prices which prevailed for the spring season recent- Iv closed. This etatement applies to the north and east generallv. statr- ments concerning other territory still i to be issued. SHOULD NOT HILL POTATOES. Many farmers are now beginning to This is a_mis- ticed as late as nossible; if the pota- toes have been planted deep enough they need not be hilled up at all. Even if it is the intention to hill them up somewhat toward the end of the sea- son, there is no reason why they should be hilled up now. Hilling up thus early in the season tends to bring the roots out into the top: soil where they will not get the proper amount of moisture to do their best work. ' If the ground is left level between the rows,*the roots will be aown in the cooler, moister soil and will give the plants a much better chance to keep on growing:at their best The loss of molsture from hilling up potatoes and other crops is a. serious of ‘molsture is needed. The recent rains relieved the situation somewhat, but before that the continued dry weather had made it necessary to conserve ev- ery bit of available moisture. Jolsture can be conserved by two means, keep- ing the surface of the soil level &0 that the least vossible surface will be ex- posed to the drying action of the alr, prevent the Arying out by keeping the ground covered with a dust mulch. Cul- tivation should be thorough and fre Guent after the heavy rains, also, be- cause of the vigor with which the weeds will_start growing. To keep them in subjection, cultivation should that the weeds will start only feebly. QUALITY OF THE SOIL. In this time of need for food prod- wets and a rush for land to cultivate in garden plots as well as in larze flelds, due consideration should be giv- en to the quality of the soil to be| handled. While there fs an abundarce of, good land available, still it is true that many new: areas which may be taken up will scarcely make a fair re- turn for the seed and effort expended on them. Wet. spongy land in which Water .stands for a good part of the season, ‘loose, drifting sand, open, drouthy gravel, very thin, stony soil any of these conditions should be gen- erally avoided. THE.

When the squash = and. cucumber plants have put forth. their first leaves, close search will usually re-- veal the adult squash:bugs .that have come out of winter quarters and have begun to suck the plant juices, caus- ing the leaves to curl, turn brown, and f| die. Then for the next month Lor six weeks the females will deposit their oval, vellow eggs in irregularly-shaped clusters, mostly on:the under sides of e leaves. These eggs will later turn brown and hatch in from a week to two wecks, depending on tho temper- ature. The young “bugs’ vary color according to - their age, PR bright crimson to gray or black, and cluster . In_colonies hiding undér the Jeaves. The adult bugs are dark Dbrown in color and about three-quart- ers of an inch long. There is but one generation each year. All old bugs which are found early in the season should be destroyed. The egg-clusters should be hunted and killed By spraying the under sides of the_leaves with kerosene emulsion. G. H. Lamson, Professor of Entomol ogy, _Connecticut ~Agricultural - Col lege, Storrs. x5 WINTER INJURY-TO TREES. Many apple trees scattered through- the state have shown a disposi- tidh for many of the leaves to turn yellow and .drop off. - In some cases these leaves show brown spots char- acteristic of Black Rot. It appears as though this trouble is due not so much to a fungus dis- ‘ease, as to a weakened, condition of the trees. brought about'in all prob- ability by the severe winter: of 1917 and 1918, says Prof. S. P. Hollster, of the Pomology Department of Con-. netcicut Agricultural College ~at) Storrs. Doubtles many of these will become weaker from Year to year and eventually die.’ Others which are fertilized and induced into a vigorous growth will in all probability get over the trouble and continue to bear prof- itable crops of fruit for years to come. The effect of the severe win- ter of 1917 and 1918 will continue fo show upon the trees, including pear, cherry, peach. and plum as well as apples, for several vears to come. For this reason it is advisable that people take particular pains to keep their trees in vigorous, healthy con- dition hy proper pruning. spraying. cultivation. and _fertilization, - says Prof. Hollister, Cultivation. pruning. and spraying have produced excellent results in many orchards without the application of “any fertilizer so. far 2pplication of any fertilizer so far. For those who have trees or orchards which are in a weakened condition, cultivation alone, but better fn_con- nection with spraying. will ‘hely to keep this orchard in” healthy cordi- tion. * ’ HOW TC DEAL WITH THE. POTATO APHID The potato aphid is en- the rampage in Connecticut, -according t6 G. M. Codding. entomologist for the -oxten sion service of Conneécticut Asrieul- tural collexe at Stofrs. For the past two rears this pest has been unuanally abundant in the state and has:created a great deal of damage to. potatoes and tomatoes. e phids may be elther light ersen or pink in color, savs Mr. Coddlng, and are generally found on the stems or undersides of the leaves near.the top of the plant. It is for this son that these mests arc often ov looked unless a thorough examination is made and the plants carefully look- ed over. There are no eges laid the younz being born alive. They grow rapidly and in about 10 days are ma- ture and prodnce more voung. Undér favorable conditions it 1s not long be- fore they increase In such quantities fhat whole mardens are rulned; leaves wilt. or curl up, turn brown and die. While it is tmposfble to tell at the present time whether the lies will he desructive as Quring the past two vears, it is advisable to take fm mediate action to prevent.the pests increasing. “The anhid obtains its. f00d by sucking the juices from the plants instead of eating the leaves, ot therefore be. controlled ing with arsenate of lead. proner treatment consists of spraying with nicotine sulphate solution, using one and one-half teaspoonfuls nicotine sulphate to one gallon of water in which a one-inch cube of soap has been dissolved. Tor larger quantities, use at the rate of one pint mnicotine solution to fift~ wallons of water with two pounds of dissolved soap added. Spray the underside of the leaves where most of the lice will be found. “T? nicotine solution is not obtain- or where large fields are infest- ing with kerosené emulsjon practiced with zood results and it will be fonnd somewhat cheaper to use. At the Experiment Station Farm near New Haven, the emulsfon used successfully last year was. a litt stronger than commonly recommended and was made as follow: Common laundry soap, . eakes, about 30 ounces, kerosene v gallons, water 2 gallons. . “Cut the soap into small;slices and dissolve in water over a fire. .Remove from the fire and add to the kerosene, churning violently for a few 'minutes in the pump by. directing the _hose back into the same container.

Holden. o Farmers of the United States lose millions of dollars_every year _.by. fires caused by spontaneous combus- tion resulting from hay that had . not been sufficiently cured before - being stored. In Towa, alone, acording to ‘the the average annpal loss from fires caused by spontaneous combustion is over $200,000. In the single year of 1913 it was nearly half a million. Most of these. fires were that state, caused by improperly cured. hay. Farmers should be careful that hay is put in the mow or in a stack until it has been well cured. This is|1da, especially true of clover or alfalfa: | brother, A. A. Jacques. Whenever hay of any kind is stored in large masses when too gréen, or | when wet with dew or rain, it will show some. spontaneous heating. Clovergand alfalfa hay seem.to be most liaPle to ‘spontaneous combus- tion, due probably to the fact that the stems do not dry out as easil: do_the grasses. The: stalk's of alfalfa ‘and red clover maturally retain moisture longer than the rest of the plant. - The leaves which dry auickly and are ecasfly crumbled and lost. contain two or threé times as much protein ad the rest of the plant. 1t is thus very important to:pre- vent the leaves from drying out teo much. However. the Hay Should b caréfully cured until the stalks are so - dry that no _moisture’ be squeezed “out by twisting a busich in the hands. It must also be free from enough to.retaln most.of the 'heat, fermentation’; sets in and ‘the heating thus started may coninue until the mass bursts into. flame. ‘of hay'is when the mow is covered with * mofsture this heat. ,continues craters or open- ings may be found in the center of the mow. are given off the heating | enough -to be * dangerous: should be removed at once. rious loss.- ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS OF THESE WONDERFUL ; “CASH AND CARRY” BARGAINS If you understood the lmportnnce of this great Sale you would not hesitate to invest in whatever articles you need, for present use, or for the future. .
