Hens Must Comply

After the serious business of the last few days in connection with the public utilities bill, there was a few minutes of fun. Eggs were under discussion in connection with proposed bill which would makes it necessary for dealers to label them as "cold storage, preserved or "fresh laid" eggs, and providing a penalty for failure to do so. MT. Savage of Mansfield made a lengthy and serious speech ill favor of the bill, telling how many million eggs are laid each year and how many million are eaten by Connecticut people, etc. MT. Quintard of Norfolk offered this amendment:
 Add to section 3; All hens shall after the passage of this act date all eggs laid by them in such a manner that they can be no question as to their age.
 Add section 4: The author of this bill shall furnish to each and every hen an automatic dating machine to carry out the provisions of section B."
 The reading of the amendment pro- voked gale of laughter.
 Mir. Tingler of Vernon moved that 'all eggs be laid upon the table. '' More laughter
 MT. Ogden of Wilton suggested that the amendment be amended to provide that the hens should be fed on dates. D Some more laughter
 A motion to table was lost, the mem bers seeming to be determined to do something with the amendment

The House Fly

The sting of many varieties of flies iEs plin if not death. The horse fly Is a. decided irritant. Up to this last year. the gentle, domesticated house fly was considered n harmless scavenger, aR necessary to civilization as the buzzardts of the torrid zone. He doesn't sting; he buzzes.
 The microscopes of tho entomologi-- cal bureau In Washington have blasted that easy theory forever. Feeding oD refuse and spoiled food, the fly catches upon its hairy paws the germs of ty- phoid fever, dysentery and other in testinal diseases, and deposits these as. soon as possible upon man or his food
 A fly is a filth parasite, UnclesnIy. dirty, moist places are it's delight. IT breeds in manure and feeds on the putrid.
 Every window in the house should be- screened from this dangerous post Traps should be baited for it. It is i'm perative that food, crumbs, garbage. should not be left open. The latter should be sprinkled with lime after 1t is. put into closed can.
 As flies come from stables all refuse in these places should be lined and kerosened daily in order to destroy all possibility of hospitality for breeding Flies must be kept away from helpless babies and children. In the East, eye and skin diseases are spread by m hampered flies.
 Darwin long ago encouraged us with the thought that existence is necessarily a struggle, and that only the fittest sur vive. Will it be e man or a fly?

NEW BASEBALL RULES
Changes For Season of 1909 Told in a
 Nutshell

Changes For Season of 1909 Told in a
 Nutshell
 A substituted pitcher must pitch until the man at bat when the pitcher takes his position has either been put out or reaches first base.
 In case of interference with a fielder or batsman the ball is not in play until the pitcher, standing ill his position holds it and the umpire calls "Play !'
 A batted ball that touches the person of the umpire or player "while on or over fair ground'' is a fair hit, and a batted ball that touches the person of the umpire or of a player "while on CT over foul ground" is foul hit.
 Hereafter in case of players eject ment from the game by the umpire such player is out of both game and grounds. He must either go to the clubhouse or grounds entirely under penalty of for feiture of the game by the umpire.
 Hereafter any ground rule must be ac- ceptable to the captain of the visiting team, and if objectionable to said visit ing captain the umpire has tho power to adopt or reject said ground rule or rules.

IN THE DIVIDED DIOCESE
Litchfield County Would be Grouped
 With New Haven and Fairfield.

LitchfieId County Would be Grouped
 With New Haven and Fairfield.
 Bishop Brewster has made it evident that he is heartily in support of the proposition to divide the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut. The argument for creating two dioceses in the state grows out of she belief held by the bishop. and shared by many of the clergy, that the number of parishes is too large, and the demand of the time of the bishop for other duties is too great to permit of giving to each parish, and to each of the many subjects to be dealt with, sufficient amount of time.
 The bishops plan would make the new diocese consist of New Haven, Fair field and Litchfield Counties. less elght towns ill Litchfield County, or Water bury, Plymouth, Thomaston, Harwinton Tolr;nRtou, Winsted, Riverton and Pine Meadow. The old diocese would contain the five other counties. and the towns named.
 Under this plan the new diocese would contain 90 parishes, with missions ,and 23, ,000 communicants. The cost of con- ducting its affairs would be $20S, ,2S2 approxima tely.
 The old diocese would contain 63 parishes, 23 missions. 14,930 commun- icants, and it's estimated expense would 1 be $l3l, ,567.

Whats A Smile Worth?

The ugly burst of temper never wins anything but disgust and just little shrinking. The ever-present tale of woe never fails to grow tiresome. Life's good to you! Know it! The trials of to-day may not even be me mories tomorrow. The mountain of the moment to come eshrinks to the mole hill of the moment that is past You can't help but smile to think how you worried. Smile first and you'll forget to worry. Don't i'm agine a smile is always a self sacrificing. martyr-ike, saintlY arrangement. It isn't. It pays. Smile at your troubles and even your enemies will admire you for it. Storm out your self pity and your best friends will turn their backs. A smile is a beautiful boomerang. It goes out and cheers the folks around you and then comes back and helps you forty times as much as all the others put together. Whats the worth of a smile? Everything!

Spread of Concrete Construction.

Go where you like-East, West, North or South, everywhere-you will find evi- dences that concrete blocks have come to stay, says Cement Age (N. Y.) You will find foundations, houses, schools, churches, public buildings, factories, and even complete manufacturing plants constructed with cement blocks. Good concrete blocks are now being sold at a figure where they compete with com mon brick, and where pressed brick or cut stone was formerly used, concrete blocks have now an ever enlarging field. This is but as it should be, for there is no virtue in any other building material not possessed by cement blocks, to which may be added the fact that they can be produced in as high grade as any other material from an architec- tural and structural point of view, at a cost lower than any other building ma terial except lumber. Lumber is be- coming scarcer and more expensive, and as consequence, people everywhere are looking for another building material, and right here the concrete block steps ln and claims its own. Its plastic char ajter makes it possible to produce it in any desirable design. Its remarkable resistance to fire has been thoroughly at- tested, and in a few more years we will see concrete blocks used as commonly as brick is now, and that means that blocks will be used in the construction of the great majority of buildings.

Autocratic R. F. D. Carriers

The postmaster general, giving direct ions to the R. F. D. carriers, enlarged on the grand old English, England ex- poets every man to do his duty p by tel ling the carriers that they are to see to it that the1r patrons are also attentive to duty. The department constitutes the carrier an autocrat, and directs him to tell the patrons that he will not on any account leave his vehicle to deliver or collect mail, and that, moreover, he will not leave the public highway or drive into ditch or up q steep incline for that purpose. He is to direct the patron to set his mail box on neat, strong, frmly-set posts, at sufficient height so as to be served by the carrier without his being obliged to leave his seat or stick his hands through the wheel spokes The one dominating idea is to collect and dispatch the rural mail with celerity so as to give the earliest possible service to patrons residing at the flag ends of the routes. and to this object the patrons have got to contribute their encourage ment and aid.

Flooded with Impure Milk

John P. Street of the Connecticut Ex- pertinent Station says that there is dan- ger that the state will be flooded with benzoated milk during the coming sum- mer. but as the government requires the percentage of benzoic acid or benzoate of soda used as preservative to be stated on the label, it is for consumers to ex- anime the labels on the cans and refuse to purchase milk so treated, or take their chances with it's use.

MATCHING BY INCUBATOR
Experimentation Shows That the Hem
 Hatched Chick is Stronger

The incubator has not proven a pro- nounced success nl the matching of chicks, according to the results of an ex- tended series of experiments carried on by the department of agriculture. At the Oregon station it was demonstrated tbat, notwithstanding the fact that hens sometimes break eggs and that they sometimes quit their jobs and go off to women's club rneetings-thlngs the in- cubator is never guilty of-still the hen is better brooder than the incubator The incubators used matched 78.5 per cent of eggs and the hens 965 per cent. But the most vital point is that the chicks matched out under hens weighed heavier than those matched in incuba- tors. The mortality of hen-hatched chicks was but 10.8 per cent, while the mortality of incubator chicks was 33.5 per cent. Hen-hatched chicks made a greater gain in weight than incubator matched chicks, whether brooded by hens or breeders. All experiments showed that the hen-hatched chick is stronger and better than the other.
