The new books will make their ap- pearance about the latter part of lu'y, being delivered in every exchange at the same time. There will he n directory for each of the five districis into which the state is divided by the comnanv for business purposes. In each district the largest exchange will be in the front of the book, whiie the other exchanges will follow in alphabetical order. Generally speaking. the largest exchange represents approximately one-half of, each book ana is riven first place so that the greatest convenience will be afforded the greatest number of subseribers. Last spring the company could not se- curt delivery guarantees on paper in 70 inch rolls, as needed for a statewide book. There ‘appeared. then, a possibil- ity that there would be no summer is- sue of the directry. However, by quick action. a delivery gnarantee was secur- ed for a sufficient amount of paper in smaller rolls., to print the five districts books, provided the books were reduced to three columns width. The smaller width paper could not be used for a four column book. Copsequently the com- pany was compelled by circumstances its directory. an_important saving that is.

LEGHORNS RETAIN FIRST PLACE IN STORRS CONTEST In the thirty-sixth week of the laying contest at Storrs the 1,000 hens pro- duced 3834 eggs or a yield of 54.8 per cent. This is exactly the same produc- tion as the average for the past five years. The only change among the sev- eral varieties is that Merrythough Farm's ‘White Wyandottes from Columbia, Conn., has replaced Applecrest Farm Company’s ‘Wyandottes from Hampton Falls, N. H. The first honors for the week go to the same pen of Leghorns that woa first place last week, namely Hollywood Farm's pen of White Leghorns from Hollywood, ‘Wash,. with a vield of 58 eggs. A pen of Barred Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I. owned by Jules F. Francais were second with 57 eggs. I. A. Grou- ten’s White Leghorns from Farmington, Cona., were in third nlace with 55 egss. Three pens of different varieties tied for fourth place with 54 eggs each. These were a pen of White Rocks owned by Chickatawbut Farm, Canton, Mass., ten White Wiyandottes owned by Harrv D. Emmons of Plymouth. Conn.. and Rich- ard Allen’s Rhode Island Reds from Weathersfield, Conn. i From now until fall hens have a ten- Aency to ease up in production. The object in handling laying hens is to post- pone, as long as possirle, the inevitable drop in vproduction and obtain a grad- ual. rather than a sudden decrease in egg yield. If possible hens should be given plenty of free ranze where abundance of natural or artificial shade is provided ; an abundant supply of cool water by re- plenishing | their drinking water at least two or three times a day. Nest boxes should be ventilated and made as cool as possible and it is also important that cool rooting quarters be provided. In addition to all these conditions a close watch should be kept for invasion ot mites which imperil the health birds and at the same time himder egg pro- duction. The three best nans in each of the principal .varieties are as follows: Plymouth Rocks. Jules P. Francais, (Barred) hampton Beaeh, L. I Oneck Farm (Barred), Westhamp- ton Beach. L. I 1. Merritt M.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night whea retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, jmost if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- druff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
