GARBAGE FEEDING FOR HENS Generally speaking, there is less danger from feeding garbage in the winter than during theé -summer as the cold weather prevents rapid de- composition and fermentation of the refuse. Often the suburban flack- owner may secure the ' garbage of neighboring families who do not keep chickens. This source of feed may be so plentiful that he can ,expand his poultry keeping operations: and af- ford to pay a small amount for thel table refuse. Where many uncooked | VicsVl There is a growing belief that the judge who merely pins blue or other colored ribbons on the cxhibits is do- ing omly half his duty. The judge should explain to anyone interested the reasons for his decisions and the points of excelfence or shortcoming. The agricultural fair can be made a school for better farming and that is prec’sely what it should be. It also} offers an opportunity for cit wpeople to come in touch with farm problems and the intricacies of the farm busi- ness. i BANISH HOG LICE An easy way to get rid of hog lice i sto drive down posts in the yard: wind an old bran sack soaked in crude kerosene about it and let the hog do the rest. TURNIPS FED TO SHEEP The largest turnips can be harvest- ed if desired, and the remainder left; for the sheep. They®will clean up every turnip. Sheep are exceedingly fond of succulent food. WAR ON THE SCRUB. Connecticut has the honor of being the first state' in the Union to enroll (in the “Better Livestock Crusade’™ now being carried on nationally through the United States Department of Ag-!| riculture. It is hoved to ' carry the distinction farther by putting the state | in front rank by eliminating ‘all scrub sires.on Connecticut farms. ““The bull is half the herd,” is a farm | cut-over land which, because of being all dairies in or near cities, and incorporated towns, even though are for census purposes, farms, provided they pro- this wimter: “Definition of ‘Farm.’—A farm census purposes is all ‘the land which ig directly farmed by one person con- ducting agricultural operations. either by his own labor alone or with the as- sistance of members of his household | The term “agri- cultural operations” is used as a gen- or hired emp’oyes. eral term referring to the work | srowing crops, producing other agri- ani- cultural products, and raising mals, poultry or bees. g “The enumerator must not report as a ‘farm’ any tract of land of less than three acres, umless there were produced on such tract products to the value of $250 or more, or unless i required the continuous serviceg of at least one person, “All market, dens, nurseries, greenhouses, yards. places for keeping poul bees, little land is employed, duced in 1919 agricultura] products the value of at lea: the continuous serv person.” POTATOES PLANTED ON STUMP LAND PRODUCE 300 BUSHE By P.

CONNECTICUT HENS LEADING AT STORRS In the fourth week of the laying con- test at Storrs two Connecticut pens were in first and . second places, two Massachusetts pens tied for third place and a Connecticut pen was fourth. The two pens of Leghorns entered by George Phillips from Seymour and Merrythought Farm from Columbin headed the list with 49 and 44 eggs respectively. This splendid yield of the Seymour pen put it up to second place in its class. Two pens of Rhode Islana Reds owned by Pinecrest Orchards Groton Mass, and Charles H. Iare Southboro, Mass., tied for third place with 37 eggs each. A pen of Buff Wy- andottes entered by H. P. Cloyes o1 East Hartford was fourth for the week with a yield. of 35 ezgs. The total for 11 pens amounted to'1463 ezgs or a ield of nearly 21 per cent. This is 158 eggs better than the production in the previous week and is 47 more than the average for the last week in November Thus the contest hens on the whole have not as yet made any phenomenal gains, but they are nlugging along at a very sptisfactory pace. Last week it was sur~ested in these columns that among other treatments for hens with colds the use of Ensem salts at the rate of one pound to one and a half nourds for each of the 100 hens was one of the best. The fact is that on the whole Ensom sa'ts is per- haps the mast useful ponltry ward drug. In addition to this, however, the of it try tof LS of YOUR BODYGUARD" - !
