Poultry Notes.

Fresh water and plenty OF it.
Don't feed soft food on the ground.
Keep the drinking vessels clean, scald-
ing them out frequently.
Rice boiled or raw sunfower seeds, KAT
fir corn etc., will make the pullets' combs
grow red and begin to lay.
Each class OF fowls should have sep
arate place. Hens, turkeys, geese, ducks
and guineas if kept in large numbers to-
gether are continually quarreling.
Water will keep cool longer in stone
Or wooden vessels than in tin or other
metal Stone drinking fountains are O.
great institution if kept properly cleaned
out.
The profits in poultry depend on the
attention to the small items Feeding
iudiciously, never giving more than the
birds will eat at one time is an important
item. Having a first class article and
selingfn the best market is another.
The sooner wecan hatch out ourchicks
now the better. Late April or May
chickens are neither ornamental or profit
able things to have about ones place, al
though April and May are the two best
months to hatch in the Northern states
Ii you have been troubled with mites,
iigger fees, etc, the past season now is
the time to give the coops a thorough
cleaning. Use coal oil, corbolic acid and
sulphur literally, ga stitch in time saves
nine" Annihilate these pests if possible.

There were nearly 1000 birds on exhi-

Points for Poultry Raisers.

The character of the food has much to
do with the quality of the eggs.
The duck industry ought to pay in IA
vored localities if properly managed.
Have pure water where fowls may
have constant access to it,
Give fowls a generous supply of gravel
1t is their teeth.
Slightly sprinkle the dust bath With
carbolic acid.
Dust laying hens and their nests with
Persian insect powder.
An occasional fumigation with sulphur
will be found advantageous.
Any breed of fowl can be protitably
kept on dry sandy Or gravelly soil.
Broken eggs in the nests start the hens
to eat them.
On wet low lying land ducks and
geese are the only poultry that can be
successfully reared.
A patch of rye grown close to the
poultry yard is a cheap way of furnish
ing green food.
Andalusian is one of the leading varie-
ties of the Spanish group, and is some
times known by the name Of Blue Span
ish.
There is no flesh more appreciated than
that of large, tender and juicy capon.
It has been estimated that hen will
drop a bushel Of manure from the roosts
i'll a year. Tt is the richest manure on
the farm.
Success mainly depends on warm, dry
coops, with proper care and manage
ment, and freedom from overcrowding.
If you wish a healthy flock keep few in
pen.
Lime is cheaper than roup and fumi-
cation cheaper than lice.
Ducks for profit must bepushed rapid
ly from the start.
The improved breeds, Pekins and Ro-
uens, lay large quantities of eggs, which
are always salable, and the market for
table ducks has never been overstocked.

Movable N ests.

The poultryman who fastens the nest
to the poultry house will soon have
cause for regret All nests should be
portable, in order to thoroughly clean
them and clear out the lice. There is no
possible way of graduating lice from a
building in which the nests are perma-
nently attached to it, as the lice will get
into the cracks and crevices ANIL under
the nest. When the nests are taken out,
the best way 10 clean them is to swah
them with kerosene and allow flame
of fire to run over each nest.

 A New York Star correspondent adds his mite to the many stories told Of New London's most distinguished citi- zen:
 "I never meet Ex-Governor Thomas M. Waller without recalling an interest ing event that occurred during his gubernatorial incumbcncy. It was at Talmage's church one Sunday evening. On the platform beside the preacher sat n medium sized, rather portly, clean shaven gentleman. Il want to give you," said Dr Talmage, as he drew near the end of his sermon, a brief sketch of the life of great man. Years ago a little newsboy entered the store of q friend of mine, whom he had never seen before, and asked for a loan of So. Il want it," said he in explanation ito start news stand with"
 My friend, struck with the boys hon. est face, handed him the money. As the boy took the bill he said: Now, I'll re- turn this in six months. At the end of that time, almost to the minute, the boy returned and paid his debt. He told my friend, with great pride, that with the five dollars he had started a stand, and had succeeded so well that he had placed his mother above want. and now, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce that ewsboy-Govern- or Waller of Connecticut. And the gov ernor got rousing welcome, although it was Sunday"

| l | by the Blues.
 Flushed with the recent victories over the Flyers of New Haven, the Water bury polo team came on the floor of the rink last night with confident smile on each players countena nance. That the smile was a jonah for the Springfield team the result proved. The Spring fields are the leaders in the league and looked for snap in defeating a lot of wood choppers, as they termed the Waterburys, The home boys proved polo players of the first water, and the way they pounded the ball into tho cage caused their competitors to feel rather down-hearted, and the spectators to shout with elation. There was consid- erable rough playing, but the home team was there every time and gave and took like majors. Hobe Whiting and Hannaford came together several times, but Springfield always dropped, some cut over the eye in the last inning, and the home team compelled the visitors to play with four men as in the third in- ming when Griffin broke his skate the Waterbury's were forced to do likewise. Stearns had one foul called on hlm and Hannaford four, losing the Springfield team one goal, making the score to in favor of Waterbury,, Messer has i'm
 proved as goal tender and played a brilliant game last night. He made excellent stops and received the plaudits of the crowd. The Whiting brothers make a strong team in themselves and last night proved their superiority as polo players. Griffin is always on hand when wanted and is ever on the alert for goal.

There is no far reaching fog signal anywhere in the vicinity of this station, and while it is now an important aid to all vessels navi gating the sound, the board says its efficiency would be greatly enhanced by adding to it steam fog signal.

Morris Moriarty Mulcted That
 Amount For Abusing His Pony.
 Morris Moriarty was arrested yester- day on complaint of the Waterbury his horse, on New Years day. Morris was somewhat under the weather and endeavored, on heavy track with two heavy men in the team, and very small horse, to beat the Maud s. record, on the driving park. He came within five or six minutes of it, but was not satisfied, until he had travelled the circuit some 10 or 12 times. Judge Cole, who acts in that capacity at the track, protested against the abuse of the horse, but it only served to increase Morris ambition to beat the record. The evidence against him was over whelming and not even his statement on the stand that he could beat any horse in Waterbury for money, saved him | from a fine of $50 and costs imposed by the court. An appeal was taken.
