The pullet starting to lay in the fall has a large, bright red, silky compb. 2 At that time she is.in the pink of condition, and her blood circulation is at its best. As production contin- ues through the year, the comb con- ;tracts and expands according to the bird’s.blood supply anl: physical ‘con- dition. The hen that shows evidence of heavy production and still has a bright req comb will probably con- tinue laying while a hen with the me indications of past production d a shrivelel comb is near the end of her period of production. The one exception to this rule is the hen that is physically unable to lay because of internal abnormalities. She may always have a full, red comb and never lay. POTATO-WART DISEASES The potato-wart disease is a serious disease of potatoes in certain paris of Burope, and all should be interested in keeping it out of America. It has been discoveredin the back yard gar- dent of some of the anthracite coal miners of Pennsylvania and a coug- trywide survey is now in progress by the State Experiment Stations and the United States Department of Agri- culture to see if it exists imn other lo- calities. A peeuliar outgrowth is caused by the parasitic wart fungus. The older outgrowths may resemble a small caulifiower; finally, the whole inner tuber turns black and crumbles into the soil. Some of the coal miners in Pennsylvania Ceared that this new potato disease might be the cause of the dreaded “flu’ It injures only the potato but, if allowed to persist, will prevent the raising of potatoes in the locality affected. It is possible that Connecticut may have this disease, since in the year 1912 potatoes from Europe, perhaps bearing infection, were imported into the state.

EWES FOR BREEDING In Connecticut, September and Oc- Dandruff Soon Ruins The Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by ali means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if vou don't. It doesn’t do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only smre way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use. enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis- solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the sealp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arven at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. tober are the months that most of the 'a ‘ewes in the flock should be bred, says A. G. Skinner, sheep specialist for tne Extensiols, shieep . specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Ag- ricultural College at Storrs. In order to secure a good lamb crop, the ewe flock should be culled and the undesirable ewes consigned (dwsthe butcher. Ewes shouild be selected that are:— First—Well healthy spirited. Second—sound in mouth and Milk- ing_organs. Third—From one to four years old. Fourth—Covered with dense, long, fine wool. Fifth—Uniform in size and breed- ing,( straight in body limes and show- ing capacity for feed. Old ewes that have. lost their teeth and are evidently not quite able to go safely through the winter and nourish their lambs well are better consigned to the fatteming pen. All ewes with spoiled udders 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 un- necessary suffering. BEwe lambs un- der a year old should be removed and not bred. Just before breeding time the ewes should have a little extra feed if grass is not abundant. The reason for ex- ira care at this period is that if the ewes are in fine, thrify condiion att mating ime, they will conceive more rapidly and drop a larger number of twins. Another reason is that a sheep that starts into the winter in a thrifty condition, comes through much stronger and on less feed than one in poor health. A handful of grain in October is worth a peck of feed to a thin ewe in January; not that the flock should be neglected later on, but it is essential that sheep should enter winter well fortified and strong. The ewe carries her lamb about 147 days or ‘roughly five monthsy The ram should be turned with tle ewes so as to bring the lambs at a season that best fits into vour scheme of management. Barly lambs well nour- ished In infancy make much strenger and better sheep than late lambs. Also lambs that come early can scarried through and less danger of being attacked by par- asites, which is one of the difficulties of raising lambs in Connecticut. It s not, however, for the inexperienced to raife early lambs unless he has good qv floc Before the breeding season the ram showiu ve entiey se arated from the ewes are in fine, thrifty condition at he should be fed regularly on and bran or some similar feed twice a day, not enoush to fatten him, but to put him in a strong vigorou condition. He should not run with the ewes during the breeding season; it'is better to turn home with the flock in a small yard for a short time each day. As soon as a ewe is bred. she should be marked and immediately out of the vard. The ram should, not be allowed to serve more than or four ewes each day. In this way, a strong vigorous, well managed ram will easily care for forty to fifty ewes. grown, and STEEL STRIKE SPREADS IN THE CHICAGO DISTRICT Chicago. Sept. 23.—Closing of addi- tional steel plants in South Chicago and Indiana Harbor and absence of ap- preciably increased activity in mills which were attempting to _operate with reduced forces in Gary, marked the second day of the steel strike in the Chicago district. of " Union leaders claimed gaims 4pproximately 10,000 in the number of strikers. Officials of the United States Steel Corporation plants main- rined the reticence which they have exhibitéd since the first strike mur- murs were heard and operators of in- dependent plants settled down to a policy of watchful waiting. Among the rank and file of the strik- ers the holiday aspects of the walk- out were accentuated. The moving picture houses and other recreation enterprises in the steel towns are booming and hastily organized dances were advertised by mushroom social clubs. No signs of disorders were in evi- dence at any of the strike centers. On the contrary union pickets joked with of rock' the policemen who kept them moving and even exchanged badinage with company guards posted about the en-| trances of the plants. Today only the Gary Mills of the United States Steel Corporation, some smaller establishments in East Chica- go and five independent_plants in Hammond tried to operate. ‘At South Chicago a few men patrolled the lent miils as fire guards and at dn- diana Harbor the banked fires smold- ered and thin wasps of smoke curled lazily from the tall stacks. J. W. Lees. general superintendent of the Inland Steel Company at In- diana Harbor, explained that he order- led a shutdown rather than take the responsibility for an industrial war- fare. “We could have continued to oper- ate,” he said, “but we were caught in the troubles of the United States Steel Corporation and evidently must halt while each side things things over. “Whether the employer sees it or not, the time has come to share prof- its with the men. We have had a bonus.and profit sharing system in our plant and the men who remained loyal wil! continue to receive their share of the profits even though the plant is closed.” The union leaders of the district met in Chicago late today and after their reports had been tabulated the elaim of 75,000 strikers as against yester- day’s figures of 67,500' was given out. J. H. De Young, who presided, said that the national strike committee of which John Fitzpatrick is chairman, would espouse the cause of the en- gineers who quit their posts at Gary despite orders to the contrary from the International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers. The Gary men face possible forfeiture of their anion charter. H. M. Comerford, international sec- retary of the engineers, exhibited a telegram from Milton Snellings, pres- ident of the_organization, condemn- ing the strike. Mr. Comerford blam- ed “an incorrigible radical element at Gary,” for the happenings there and criticized the action of the committee which called the big strike over rec- ommendations to the contrary from PreSident Wilson and Samuel Gom- pers. “The strike is not approved gen. erally by the conservative element in the labor movement,” he said. “Tt could not be with such radical leadership.” The first court action of the strike came late today when the Pollak Steel Company, manufacturing steel axels in Chicago, asked an injunetion against picketing of its plant .directing the action against John Fitzpatrick and William Z. Foster af the national strike committee, the South Chicago union council and four pickets. The application will be heard tomorrow. The company set forth that its emr- ployes were willing to work but that geveral had complained that they had been threatened with bodily harm be- cause of their refusal to strike. Little Enough Naw.

This prospect' moves John S. Den- nee, Louisiana field agent for the bu- reau, to point out that if these bar- rels were set on end and placed side by side would extend from Bos- ton to San Francisco and back. ‘Washington leads in production with 5,382,000 barrels, enough to load about 21,300 freight cars. Yakima Val- Jey alome will ship about 9500 car- loads. Oregon's crop is big enough to fill about 5028 cars &gainst 2663 cars in 1918, and the apples promise to be of high quality and goed size. . The New York state crop is a good deal off this year, only 2,363,000 barrels, as compared with 5,950,000 last year; but New England’s crop is reported better. Virginia may come to the front with 1,541,000 barrels, which is about 87 per cent of what the Old Dominien pro- duced last year. - Arkansas will al- most triple her production of 1918. According to Mr. Dennee’s cipher- ing, there are at this time about 8,653,- Alkali In Soap : Bad For the Hair - Soap should be used very carefuily, if you want to keep your hair lool its best. Most soaps and pre; shampoos contain too much kali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
