POULTRY NOTES.

II lice were good to eat, many hen
could get fat.
A good cockerel may be bought
cheaper now than later on.
To raise pigeons for profit, you
should keep them confined.
Some hens are liars. They don't
always lay an egg when they cackle.
Stock selection plays an important
part in successful chicken raising.
Poultry need sunlight and fresh air
as much as the plants in the field.
Lack of grit causes more sickness
among pigeons than poor feed or ex-
posture.
The common inverted V-shaped
COOP is the best for combining hen and
chickens.
A safe, simple tosic for pigeons Is
made by placing a piece of gentian
root in the drinking water.
Some hens are regular gad-abouts
and. unless they are confined. will
walk their chickens to death.
If the soil in the poultry yard is not
of sandy or loose nature, dust baths
must be provided
Poultry neglected during the warm
months will be slow at going into
profit in the fall and winter.
The hen that does all her laying

posed of along with her chicks.

BREEDING THE PEKING DUCK
Mature Earlier and Thrive Better
Than Any other Breed-Flour-
ish Without Water.

Picking ducks were imported into this
country from China in 1873. They sur
pass all other breeds as a table fowl.
In the vicinity of most of the large
cities they are raised by the thousands
for this purpose, and the industry is
very profitable They are good layers,
and the supply of good breeding stock
seldom equals the demand. There Is
also a good demand for eggs for hatch
ing. They mature earlier and thrive
better without water for swimming
than any other breed of ducks, al
though they enjoy it if they have it.
They should always have water deep
enough so they can submerge the
head and eyes It is better for the
duckiings not to have water to swim
In until nearly fully feathered. The
little ducks grow rapidly, and under
favorable conditions reach a market
able size when two weeks old, often
weighing from five to six pounds and
at less cost per pound than any 9TH

She took off her hat as she spoke.
The mass of hair revealed by the ac-
ton was indeed beautiful, of light
chestnut in color and marvelously
thick and wavy.
How vain you are," seid her lover.
Don't you ever have a serious thought
about anything but being pretty?"
Kitty flushed angrily. Cant you

To Kill Weevil.

weevil in grain in bins can be de-
stroyed by the use of carbon bisul-
phide, a liquid which readily vaporizcs
in the open air. 1t is comparatively
cheap and comes in sealed tin cans
and can be purchased at drug stores.
In using, pour into shallow pans at
the top of the grain bin, and close
tightly all doors or other openings
while the liquid is vaporizing. Do the
work in the daytime. when no lantern
or artificial light viii be necessary
for the vapor of carbon bisulphide is
highly infiammable and explosive, and
there is danger of serious fire when
fame is brought into its presence.

ture. We finally had our blacksmith
make up from old buggy-springs sew
eral styles and placed them among
our apiarists. asking them to select
the one that seemed to suit their por-
pose best. Among all the tools that
were submitted plain fiat piece of
steel, fiattened and sharpened at both
ends in the form of a chisel, one end
bent over like hoe, seemed to give
the best satisfaction. See illustration
herewith.
1t is something that any black
smith can make out of an old buggy
spring or any good piece Of spring
steel. 1t must not be tempered too
hard or 1t will break. Each end should
be fiattened out while hot, and
brought to an edge. One end is bent
to a right angle, and the other left
straight. The tool is then taken over
to an emery wheel or grindstone and
finished up. Care should be taken to
have the edges straight and square.
The hooked end is ordinarily used
for scraping propolis or wax on the
frames or bottom-boards. while the
other end (also useful for scraping)
is pushed between the two parts of
the hive; but the drawing shows the
tool held improperly. The bent or
curved end should be placed directly
against the palm in order that sum.
cient pressure may be exerted to
shove the other or straight end be
tween the two hive parts.
Either end of the tool may be used
for separating frames.

There is little question but the increase in interest in Masonic matters in this village will result in considerable activity, during this year, on the part of the bewhiskered quadra- ped that is supposed to be indispensable in comforting Masonic degrees.
 Base Ball Notes
 The Sheffield correspondent of The Berkshire Courier says: With tfe mild weather of last week there was re- newed interest in base ball matters and the notes from the national league teams practicing in the south caused local peo- pie to think about the prospects of the Sheffield team in the Housatonic Valley League this year. Albert Shook, who played with the local team last year and has had three years experience in the Long Island league, is to be tried out with che strong Pittsfleld team, and in case he remains in that city the Sheffield team will miss him. It is expected that Schmidt of Cornell university, who played with the locals in 1908, will be here again this summer. He was one of the best twirlers in the league. The names of all candidates for each team must be presented to the league officials by April 1st and every team has the priv ilege Of naming 30 players. In order that professionalism shall be cut out, no man can play on team unless he lives in the town which the nine represents. It will be of interest to Sheffield people to know that Canaan may have some of the best players of last years East Ca naan team this season, and Traver, who was with Lakeville last year. has talk, position in Lime Rock and will play there.

 We wonder how much longer this sort of thing will be allowed to con- tinue in this state? How many more lives must be sacrificed in order that this insane desire for speed be satisfied Is it any wonder that there is a rapidly growing prejudice against the automo- bile? Is it any wonder that the people criticize the officers who permit these outrages? But is it any wonder that 1t continues when the offenders go scot free or are let off with light fines Surely 1t is not. The time is coming it must come, when a stop will be put to all this as an outraged public has nearly reached the limit of patience.
 There will be an uprising that will cause these now arrogant and 1nde pendent autoists to take notice.
 The public will not only demand law: that will afford them some protection but they are going to demand that they be enforced and if they are not enforced they are gong to know the reason why
 The sooner this uprising comes, and the more extensive and more vigorous it is, the better it will be for all who have occasion to use the public roads and under that head is included the great majority of the people.

CARING FOR THE POOR

We observe that there are many towns in Litchfield County in which there are no poor farms, or town farms as. they arc more generally called. maintained for the purpose of caring for the unfor- tunates who are no longer able to care for themselves. Those persons who have been overtaken by diversity are cared for at town expense but are board ed in the homes of some responsible citizens.
 It appears to us that this is much the more desirable manner of taking care of these people, as, to very large extent, it removes the stigma that attaches to the name of person who is an inmate of an almshouse. No one has, as yet, been able to advance @ cogent reason why this stigma exists; 1t seems to be one of the unreasonable and unjust, social laws.
 The scarcity of almshouses also speaks we'll for the prosperity and thrift of the people of these towns. In some of them there are no poor people dependant upon the public bounty.
 It is we'll that the penthouse is con- spacious by its absence and that the few people who have passed the stage where they are able to exist by the fruits of their own labors are to be spared the humiliation of ending their days in a public institution but, ,on the other hand, are cared for in private families where they may enjoy home comforts.
