o eagEG ol | S " 'AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS EEEP NEWLY HATCHED \ TURKEYS FREE FROM LICE Yice are very destructive to hurkey Poults both when very small and when partly grown. Frequently turkey poults die off from some supposedly mysterious trouble which when properly investigated proves to be nothing more or less than lice. Keep the newly hatched poults free from lice it possible by properly dusting the hen used to hatch the eggs. Then watch the poults for head lice. These will be found burrowing into the skin on top of the head above and in front of the eyes and under the throat. If any are discovered, grease these places carefully with plain lard, lard to which a few drops of kerosene have been added or by using a drop of olive oil. Too much grease may prove fatal to the ponlts. As the poults grow, lice Will sometimes be present in rmful numbers and yet escape the notice of the person who does not know whera to look for them. If one looks in the hollows or creases on the up- per side of the wing between the quills of the main wing feathers, they may find there hiding places literally swarming with lice applied to these places will prove n getting rid of the lice on other parts of combated. !

WHITE SWEET CLOVER FOR FORAGE Red clover, recent investigations have show, is practically self-sterile; that is, under the influence of its own pollen a very small number of seeds on a given plant will set. In this respect it differs from white sweet clcver, which tests have demonstrated will set nearly as many seeds under the influence of its own pollen as it will with the pollen of another plant. This makes the breeding of white sweet clover a much more promising undertak- ing than the breeding of red clover. These facts have been brought out by recent experiments conducted by the United States department of agriculture in co-operation with lowa State college. The federal department's investigators plan to follow up these discoveries with the selection and breeding of white sweet clover for increased forage and seed pro- duction. It was also found that sweet clover needs a great deal of moisture to mature the seed properly. This is one of the reasons why the second crop of sweet clover sometimes has a- better seed yield than the first. There being a smaller amount of growth on the second crop, the plants do not draw on the water supply g0 strongly and there is more water left for the maturing of the seed. DON'T BUY PORK-CAN IT. There’s a profit in selling pigs and buying pork—but not foi the farmer who follows this practice. The farmer’s most profitable course is to kill, cure and can nough pork for his own use and sell any | additional amounts which he can produce nd for which there is a demand. The practice of home curing pork has suffered through neglect, but it is now being re- vived. Home-cured pork, scrapple, pork pudding, sausage, canned pork, head- cheese and lard are among the foods which the farmer should get from his own NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER cellar shelves and not from the eity mar- ket. All transportation costs and com- missions remain in his pockets. 7 A bulletin, “Killing Hogs and Curing Pork,” now being revised by the depart- ment of agriculture, will soon. be read$ for issue. New methods and improve- ments have been given space-in this dis- cussion, and details of the processes for canning fresh pork bave been added. Canning preserves. pork with fresh pork flavors and léssens the toil and time inci- dent to scme of the clder ways of curing the product. Besides being rapid and simple, the new process saves pounds of pork for all periods -of . the -year which formerly had to he eaten soon after slaughter or be wasted. SHRINKAGE OF MARKET HAY. Shrinkage occurrifig in good markef hay is due almost. entirely to a loss of water, which has no feeding value. Such shrinkage seldom causes an actual money loss to the farmer, because any loss in weight in baled hay is borne by the ship- per, who usually receives the hay as soon as it is baled. If the shipper stores baled hay for speculation, there often will be a money loss caused by shrirkage, because he has purchased an excess amount of water. ¢ There is practically no loss of dry mat- ter in market hay that has been properly cured. Proper curing is indicated by a bright, natural green color. Improperly cured hay may lose dry matter, but such hay is not in demand in any of the termi- nal markets. Unchangeable Law of Politics.

MANY CHANGES MADE IN ' CONNECTICUT STATE GUAXD There have been many changes in the Connecticut State Guard, organized in the spring of 1917 to replace the Na- tional Guard forces in .Connecticut, which were mustered into the federal service when the United States entered the war. From a force of 10,000 un: formed, armed and equipped = state gugrsmen, besides 3,000 reserves the numerical strength of the State Guara has dwindled to a figure at about 3,000 has dwindled to a figure estimated at about 3,000 in all. And the old Connecticut National Guard is now being reorganized will soon be itself again. It is expected that the -State Guard will eventually Guard, which is being federalized 6 and formed under the rules and regula- tions of the war department. Owing to the reduced force of men, numerous changes have been wrought, the latest being the abolishgient of district” officers and “district” head- quarters. Instead of six districts, now only five districts, trict havinz been abolished a short time ago. Formerly each separate dis- trict was commanded by a colonel. Ac- cording to the latest order all five dis- tricts still remaning have formed into one district under the auspices of the military emergency board, although the colonels maintain- their rank and headquarters. They are now designated manders of infantry instead of district commanders. _ They are Col. Charles W. Burpee, First Connecticut Infantr: Hartford county; Col. Robert H: Kram- er, Second Infantry, New Haven coun- ty; Col. Eugene T. Kirkland, Third In- fantry, New London county ? Col. Louis Herrmann, Fourth Infantry, Fairfield county; Col. Robert G. Hannegan, Fifth Infantry, Litchfield county. All that now remains of the Con- necticut State Guard is one regiment in each of the five remaining districts. | each regiment of infantry consisting of | one headquarters company, one ma- chine gun company, one supply corg- pany and 12 rifle companies organized in to three battalions of four companies each.

Their depredations started last year and they made several trips to the or- chard in the power boat, stealing frul: each time but escaping detection as they were foxy enough to keep a canvase tossed over the registration number op the bow of their boat, which would have enabled Frank W. Browning, owner of the orchards to identify the boat if he could have got the number. It was not till last week that Mr. Browning was able to get the boats number and through the custom house learn who the owner was. When accused of the thefts the boat owner confessed and his family begged so hard that the matter should not be prosecuted that Mr. Browning agreed after the five young men involved had promised to pay for the fruit they have stolen in the twe seasons. When the thefts started again this year Mr. Browning determined to catch the thieves. He enlisted the services of Constable M. J. Hickey of Montville and a detective who kept watch for the com- ing of the launch. It appeared one day last week, with the number on the bow coyered with a piece of canvass as us- ua® When the boat was run up on shere the party of fruit thieves left two small boys to watch the boat, while the others went up, into the orchard. This was the chance that Mr. Browning’s watcher on shore was looking for and he slipped down and got the registration number of the boat. The rest was easy when the boat owner was located through the records at the custom house. Although the young men have staved off prosecution for their thefts through agreeing to pay Mr. Browning. they may yet have some legal complications ahead of them as the custom house officials may proceed against them for running the boat with the registration number concealed as this is a violation of mar- itime law. One of the consideradls thefts that the fellows perpetrated last season xiowed their daring and boldness.

While he went away to get his horse and wagon the thiey- ing young men slipped fr= the river bank and made off w the whole lot of apples, baskets and all LAMBETH ENCYCLICAL LETTER COMES TO EPISCOPALIANS The encyclical letter issued at the close of the present Lambeth Confer- ences in London was received in Com- necticut Monday. This is the conference attend by Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster. The letter, is signed by the 225 Angli- can bishops who attended the gatherings of one month held in the Palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The docw- ment says that marriage should be indis- oluble.— ‘The encyclical eondemns spiritual- .ism and earnestly pleads with the clergy to give their people that feod which, when lacking in the Church's message, turns men and Women to cults. The pronouncement says that spiritualism, Christian Science and osophy, “tried by the doctrine of the incarnation and the Cross, are clearly shown to jnvolve serious error.” “It is also shown,” says the eneye- lical “that adherents of these move- ments are drawn into practices which injure their spiritual life and endang- er their Joyaity to Christ and the fel- lowship of His Church. “On the other hand, it forgotten that these very largely symptoms of the action _against views of life.
