Too much cream for the calf is
about as bad as too much money for
the boy.
A careful milker, quiet in his ways
about the stable, Is worth many dol
lars more in single season than one
who Is brutal.
From eighty to ninety per cent. OF
milk is water. So when you do any
thing that induces the COW to drink
less freely 1t knocks of your profits.
AS soon as the calf is old enough to
drink skinned milk make some por-
ridge of -four and oatmeal with the
hulls sifted ont; or else rub rolled
oats in the hands and sift them. Cook
thoroughly and pour in cold milk till
II is just right.
Be sure that the breeding sows are
not getting too fat or too thin.
Do the pigs squeal because they are
hungry or cold? Find out; there is no
profit In either condition.
One of the surest signs of improved
agriculture is dry clean hog pen.
The up-to-date farmer has discovered
that a pig wallows in mire only when
he can not help himself.
Sows may be kept from eating their
pigs by giving them a great variety
of food for two months or more before
the pigs come along. 1t should in
clude some animal food and plenty OF
salt.
Be sure that the pigs are not lousy.
Kerosene oil rubbed on hogs back
is good for lice. But look out and not
have It too strong, and do not rub
too hard, or you may make blister
Don't be in a hurry TO dispose of the
old SOW. If she is a good one to raise
pigs, she will be profitable to keep
until she is seven or eight years old.
Keep them in thrifty, growing
condition.
Keep charcoal. salt and sulphur in
clean box in every feeding pen.
Let the sows help themselves to these
correctlves, and they will do II every
time they require them Farm jour

Postponed Borough Meeting Tonight
Cost of Fire Alarm System Explain
ed-Annual Meeting Congregational
Missionary Association.

The annual meeting of the borough
which should have taken place Mon
day night was adjourned until this
"wednesday evening, only a few vo-
tiers being present, and the annual re-
ports not being ready.
A clause in the warning called for
some action on a fire alarm system.
An agent from Boston. representing
the Gameweu Fire Alarms Telegraph
Co, was present. He stated that he
had been over the ground some six
months ago with Chief Stanton of
Norwich and had a good idea Of the
requirements. He suggested a sys-
tenn of four to six boxes and said that
two miles of wire would be required
to cover the ground. Either a whistle
or striking apparatus could be in
stalled for a signal, but the former
would need a constant steam pressure
of 65 pounds, day and night. The
alarm system would cost $3.50, the
boxes SIS each and the No. 10 iron
wire SIS per mile, an Indicator in the
fire house would cost 1925 more while
a storage battery, which would be the
most feasible, would entail another
expense of $3.50 more. This battery,
however, would have to be recharged
only once in five years at a cost of
SIS. while the gravity system of %
cells, which would cost about $50 to
install. would cost about $3.50 to main
tain for the same length of time. He
stated that a system of two boxes
could be put in for $3.50, four boxes
for S1,115, and six boxes for $1,70O.

THE CAUCUS TRAIN.
e.27 Morning Express Picks Up Mem
bers of the General Assembly.

The 9.27 morning express out Of Jnss
city for Hartford IS again the "legisla
tive" train. 1t Is not a special, but a
regular train, and when the legislature
is in session is the most convenient
train for the legislators to use IA
travelling to the state capitol. From
now on until final adjournment every
day of the session ana especially
Wednesday mornings it is a political
beehive whirling across the state at
half a hundred miles an hour. The
first Of the members ale picked up at
Thompson, the first town in Connec-
ticut that the train passes through
More members are taken on at Put
nan, still others at Fomfrst. and when
the next stop is n ade at Willimantic
the entire Windhan county delegation
IS completed. At Willimaruc also
mary of the New London county dele
gates come aboard. They all make
the Legislative" train If possible.
It carries not only the members of
the senate and house from this end Of
the state but as we'll influential party
members, persons with matters Of in
terest at the capitol, candi lates for
appointments, wirepullers, capitol at
tendants, men who want bills intro
duced and others who desire pending
legislation deferred
sometimes more on that train in the
way Of framing up matters to be con-
sidered than they accomplish in day
at the capitol. 1t is in a way a morn
ing caucus. All alone the route, at
every stop the train makes, new men,-
bers come in and join the conferences
and squad talks that are going on in
every car. 1t is real business and gen.
uine fun, a judiclous mixture of both
all the way to Hartford, and to the
members, new and old, it is an expert
ence of never failing interest. Some
enjoy it in such a degree that they
leave the local trains that take them
from their homo stations and walt at
Willimantic for the express. Others
do the same thing because they want
to be next to the earliest moves Of
the day or perhaps to introduce some
of their own, but at any rate they are
about all there from eastern Connect
cut when the train leaves Willimantic
