AGRICULTURAL THE VALUE OF BREEDING. Everyone who Lknows Jersey cattle knows of the great skill and ability of e breeders on that little island not more Than one-riinth the sige of Connecticut. Not since 1789 haye the inhabitants al- lowed cattle to be brought on to the isl., and except for immediate slaughter, so zealously have they guarded the superior qualities of the breed. same is true of the Guernsey cattle from the little island of Guernsey, where no cattle have been imported to the island since 1819, The Holstein breed has béen bred in Holland for 3,000 years. Ayrshires have been developed in the last 200 years by the eanny Seotchman. Animals of the four breeds mentioned ! cannot be tered or provided with “papers” unless thgr parents are regis- tered or have been-imported. That these breeders on the European cantinent have made wenderfu! progress through many generations of - earefal :i'heq used to calla man a“sport” when he bought an automobile INTERESTS work ne one will d!lt::&‘ Nefther will anyone , dispute that breeds can be still fufther improved. The further im- provement ‘of the breeds is clearly the field of:the pure bred breeders, but no dairyman can afford to ignore what has been accomplished to date by years of toll and progress in ope direction, says G. C. White of the dairy department of-Con- necticut Agricultural college at Storrs. The dairymen can most certainly. betfer afford to select a pure bred sire fo use, regardiess of the breeding or character of his cows. 1f he lives near the city, keeps good cows and veals all calves,.it is a distinct loss to the industry rot to use a good bull and raise or let someone raise the heifer calves from the good cows, If be lives back in the country and has a r heard of mixed breeding then it is a wasté of time and an affront te the indus- try to raise the calves if not well sired. BREEDING UP A HEED. In using a pure bred sire on a dairy herd_of mixed breeding the. first cross gives offspring with at least 50 per eént. blood of the sire’s breed. A bull of the same breed used on these daughters pro- duces offspring of 75 per cent. pure breeding; The next generation will carry 87 1-2 per cent. and the next 93 3.4 per cent. - For the purposes of the dairyman the offspring with more than 95 per eent. pure breeding is generally a dependable worker and breeder. These very high grades are better producers, reproduce more umiform qualities, and de]l better than serubs. Then.why should the dairy, man consider the grade or gerub bull a z00d business proposition? The Connecticut Agricultural college is taking part in a nation-wide movement fo encourage the use of only pure bred sires. , STORING BUTTER. The 'following methods have proven te e successful for storing butter, according to R.:C. Fisher of the dairy department of Connecticut Agricultural college at Btorrs; - Method No. 1. The first essential for storing butter is a high quality produet, preferably made from sweet eéream. The butter should be solidly packed 4n croeks HAT was before the days when pretty nearly everybody owned one—or could, if he wanted to. There was a lot of waste about motoring in those days. A man spent a lot of money on his car and never thought very much -about what he was getting in return. I When a man buys a tire nowadays he has a pretty definite idea of what he ex- pects to get out of it.

Holligter ot Conneeticut: Agricultural col- lege at Storrs, who suggests the follow- ing materials: Delayed ~ Dormant * Spray-~When the leaf buds are showing the green tips of, the leaves. Use concentrated lime-sul- phur selution diluted so that the spray mixtyre teste about 4.5 degrees Baume. ‘This will require five to six gallons of the sojutien for eaeh barrel of 50 galions of spray mixture, Add te this 1-2 pint ef blaek leaf 40 and 1 1.2 pounds of pow- dered arsenate or lead, or 3 pounds of the paste.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night whea retiring; use enough to moisten the sgalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, mest if not all,"of your dandruff will [be gone, and three or four more ap- { plications will completely dissolve and entirely destrgy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druf! you may have. You will find, %00, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, ‘silky and soft, and logk and feel a hundred times better. fyrther golng ex- ;bsoh':zly mary for a’ considerable casdingly stro; but they are mow due| time to come, as the expense which would ta become bm.o‘a‘y and have a little rest|aftend such work of | matter beyond attractive consideration.

The expense of ordinary work dur- ing the past vear has increased by the conditions of thes weather, The abundant rains of summer and the beavy snows of winter had their effect on the.roads and paths which reuireqd much additional labor for re-surfacing because of wash-outs and other less se- rious injuries, The. statement, which hag been often made, may be repeated that it is the beard's intention to keep the roads and paths in 2 copdition as nearly perfect as careful attention can make them, but labor for providing this attention has heen oblai;mle Tecently only at very high cest, Following are items of work which may give an idea of the routine obs served in keeping the park property in good order. FEvergreens apd a few heech trees have been set ocut on the Taftville road, evergreens being used in many places to sereen the rather umsightly ex- cavations made aleng the roads in pro- curing filling.

A garden waa cultivated to pro- vide vegetables for the animals, while for the old garden near the Washington Street entrance a Jawn has been sub- stituted. New flower beds Have been placed at the Washington street and Rockwell street entrances and others will be put in during the coming year, this being done at very small-expense. The wall along the Washington street en- tranee road has been repaired in vari- ous sections, posts have been set along the Taftville entrance. and the fance wires will be strung in the approach:ng seasen. * Much pruning has besn done and a great deal of brush has been cut on the Taft- ville road, and the growth there is so. considerable that th¥; eutting should be repeated annually. The time for completing the contract made in August, 19LS, for removing the chestnut trees from the park has been extended to June 1, 1920. While the loss many beautiful treas on aecount of the blight, which could not be stayed, is a cause of great regret, the public may feel assured that the work of re-foresting has heen so carefully attended to that in due time the old woods will gseem to be living again in a growth as sturdy and beautiful as timt which had to pass away.
