The second annual outing of the
Good Will Bible class of the Greene
vile Congregational church at Poque-
tanuck draw bridge Saturday was a
big success. 1t was attended by men,
bers of the class and invited quests,
about 125 in all, who went down in the
morning on the o'clock train and
returned on the $50 train at night,
after a day of real enjoyment.
The morning was spent in pitching
quoits, and the ten boats which the
entertainment committee had secured
were all in use.
At l o'clock the class and its guests
were served a lunch by Ben" Tilley.
which Included cold ham, tongue,
sandwiches, potato salad, rolls, coffee,
cake and ice cream.
AT 2.30 a scorching ball game began
between the Good Will Bible class
nine and team made up of = boys
of Oscar w. Carpenters Sunday
school class. For the first two inn
ings it was an even thing, but in the
third, Hobson, the heavy hittine third
baseInan of the Bible class, nailed the
ball on the nose for double, and
was followed by other hard hitters.
Taylor was knocked out of the box
and Mr.. Carpenters team went u In
the air. Grove went in and held the
Bible class to two runs the rest of
the game. $3.50 y -,-y.- .---
MOODY, in the box for the Bible
class, did effective work and not until
the last inning did he weaken. Paul
Ricketts, backed him up well and did
some timely hitting The lineups:

EX-GOVERNOR WALLER

Regarding his being mentioned as a
candidate for the mayor of New Lon
don, Ex-Governor Waller denies that
he said he wanted to be mayor or that
he would be a candidate for mayor. He
does say, however. that he believes in
the commission form of government,
such as exists in Houston. Tex, and
other cities, and such as DR. Eliot OF
Harvard approves. When they get that
system in New London he declares that
he will then be willing to be mayor
of New London again, but not until
then. He has served New London
twice as MAYOR.

NOTES OF THE DAIRY.

Glover ensilage contains more than
twice as much more available protein
as corn ensilage.
The dairy cow uses practically
three-fourths of her ration for bodily
maintenance and energy.
1t doesn't pay to buy stock or ma
chinery just because it is cheap,
never did and probably never will.
If skim milk is added to the ration
fed to young chickens it will increase
the consumption of other foods given.
Handle the COWS in such way that
they will be gentle. The gentle COW
almost invariably gives the most milk.
Feed which has been allowed to get
wet will ferment or sour readily and
cause intestinal disorders. Don't feed
it to your stock.
A feed of roots, especially carrots,
is greatly relished by the colt, If, when
they are cut up, little oatmeal is
scattered over them.
Don't worry about the breed. Per-
haps she is only one-eighth Jersey or
t1OlSIGlu UuJ IL JtlC ISDb III GOOh uolA
cow she is all right.
The dairy cow needs exercise but
she will get it working over the large
amount of feed she will consume.
She will not need running to get it.
A good many dairymen are feeding
skim milk to their COWS. The ami
mails seem to relish it and as it Is
not a fattening food it does them no
harm.
Remember that flies breed in filth
and dust and carry more disease than
rats. Clean up every breeding place
and screen them out of the house and
dairy.
Whether or not it pays to grind corn
for fattening pigs depends upon the
price of corn and the facilities and
cost of grinding, which vary with the
seasons and the conditions on the
farms.
The Babcock test for ascertaining
the percentage of butterfat in milk
and cream is reliable but dishonest or
incompetent hands can make it de-
fusion and snare.
Dairying pays on almost any sized
farm, but it is a splendid paying prop.
osition on the small farm, where there
is extra time for the work. With dairy.
ing and the right use Of dairy manure,
the small farm may be made to yield
as large net income as the large
farm, and the farmer has less taxes to
pay and less ground to tramp over.

causing the separation of the cream
from the milk. The apparatus nee
essary is shown in the accompanying
illustration, the invention of Kan
sas City man. The milk is poured
into the funnel at the top and drops
through the tube onto the inclined
chutes, arranged one above the other.
Current is supplied from adjacent
storage batteries. On it's passage
down the chutes the milk will alter
nately be subjected to positive and
negative current, causing the rapid
separation of the particles of cream.
The milk and cream will finally drop
into the receptacle at the bottom, the
cream collecting upon the surface,
where it can be readily removed by
Swimming The inventor claims that
the alternating current is preferable,
effecting a quicker separation of the
cream than can be obtained by cur
rents passing in one direction.

A Profitable Cow.

In my estimation it is one that can
produce in year, or, still better, in
series of years, good maximum yield
of butter at a cost that will yield a
good profit to her owner, and also pro-
duce a strong, healthy calf each year,
says writer in the Baltimore Amer
lean. This should be one of the requi.
sites in securing sire for the head
of the herd; not only see that he is
from a productive strain, but from
a family Of regular breeders, because
he not only produces his good quail
ties. but often intensifies his weak
points as well, says the Ohio Farmer.
See that he is as near perfect in
conformation and dairy makeup as
possible, for with all the care we may
exercise in the matter of ami
mails some faulty ones will develop
that we had not figured on; so If we
have looked well to the end, to see
that the size is right and that the
dams that we are to use for founda-
ton are right, we have gone a long
way toward their development.
There will never be an overproduc.
ton of good cows. What makes q
COW valuable is not only her being a
high-grade COW of some of the leading
dairy strains, but her ability to per.
form at the pail, and If this Is sub
Stimulated by some test association 1t
makes her all the more valuable.
