A number of gentlemen speaking, yesterday, of the town meeting held Monday. night, commended the Sugges- tion made by Judge Curtis, that here after the proper authorities prepare a budget, setting forth the expenses of the town, and the revenue needed for all the items.

FAIRFIELD

Much more land than usual is this spring being divided into building lots, in anticipat tion of a market for them and an increase in the population. A large tract of land west of Spring St. and north of Fairfield avenue, extend ed, and lying between Broad street and Sasco Hill, has recently been sur veyed and mapped out, and will be ready to put upon the market as soon as staked. This tract consists of some fifty acres, being portions of the Hurd. Altogether there will be some 200 building lots. The intention is to ex- tend School street from Spring street to Fairfield avenue extended, and the layout provides for seven more new streets. If School street is opened it will connect with the Danbury road, forming a direct line to the beach from the corner where the post office now is. This will be the most savaila ble road for people going from the depot to the beach. The soil is good and the situation very desirable for large settlement.

MILK fever AND
ITS TREATMENT.
Filling the Udder With Air
Usually Gives Relief.

Milk fever begins to show itself usu-
ally in about twelve hours after the
calf comes, and the first symptoms are
simply a refusal to eat and a general
uneasiness, writes H Leigh Hunt in
Country Gentleman. Usually the COW
keeps up a gentle lowing, easily mis-
taken for the sound many COWS make
to newborn calf In a few hours
the cow loses the use of her limbs,
gets down with head around on her
side and becomes unconscious; death
ensues in a few hours more. If taken
at the start, little treatment is neceS
sary to arrest the trouble Fill the
udder with air-I have heard of its
being done by blowing with the
mouth through a milking tube-then
tie the teat with a piece Of soft tape
or cloth to keep the air in. This will
usually arrest the disease; it is not too
late after the COW is down and seem
ingly unconscious.
The best course is to summon a vet
erinarian as soon as the cow is discov-
cred, but if she is bad get air into the
udder by some means if possible be-
fore he comes.
I knew two cases this past summer
to come on after ten days of milking
The cows were extra good ones, were
in good pasture and fed heavily on
mill feed. The veterinarian said he
had never had such a case after so
long period Of milking, but the symp-
toms were the same-the cows down
and seemingly nearly gone-so he gave
them the milk fever treatment and
both recovered. Heavy feeding was
the cause, In his opinion.

JEWELS MADE over
MODERN ANTIQUES.
The Smartest Ornaments Are
MOdeTnized HeirIOOTnS.

The ingenious woman nowadays goes
through the family trinket box and
selects the things which with only
little expense can be made into attrac
tive modern jewelry, for the smart
woman must wear smart jewelry,
though not necessarily expensive, but
unusual and in good taste.
Where is there a family jewel box
which does not hold odd cuff buttons,
stray earrings, bits of chains, broken
breastpins, parts of watches? All Of
these seem utterly useless and hope
less. Yet they are cherished for asso-
ciationis sake, and now they may all
be put to good use.
The old time earring has perhaps the
greatest possibilities. A most exquisite
necklace, with a long pendant, has
been made from two bracelets and an
earring. The latter originally hung
almost to the shoulder, and the design
included a bunch of grapes about an
inch long, made of thousands Of tiny
pearls strung on gold hair wires. The
workmanship was so exquisite that
when the earring was taken to well
known jeWeler the owner was offered
$1,000 for it. The bracelets made the
necklace, and the magnificent earring
was hung as a pendant The result
was more than beautiful, yet the treas
ure had lain untouched for years.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
RatiOnS For LaVinu Hens,

have found for laying hens in win
ter that best results are obtained by
feeding a mash made Of cornmeal and
wheat bran, wetted with sweet or sour
milk, or if milk is not available with
water, writes a Missouri poultry raiser
in Orange Judd Farmer. l also feed
green cut bone when l cannot get
milk. This is fed early in the morn
ing. Wheat or Kafir corn is given at
noon and corn at night. This ration
has always proved satisfactory for
fowls running at large during spring
or summer. Plenty of good grain al
ways gives good results. l raise the
Single Comb White Leghorns and let
the fowls have all they want to eat,
never fearing that they will get fat.
They shell out the eggs well, both
winter and summeN when properly
cared for. Inever neglect giving them
plenty of good water. Hens require
a great deal, especially ghile @yAa

Selecting she 5cssg coy.

It is clearly u linz with good busi
neSs sense 10 require the SOW that iS
retained for a breeder to have the ''eaw
marks" that entitle her to the distinc-
ton and privilege of motherhood. She
should have the maternal air in
length and depth and width; should
have strength and sense, openness and
fexibility; have the ability to eat much
and not fatten. The nicely rounded,
compact, pretty" sow is not likely to
be a very profitable one. This good
SOW when one has her and has proved
her worth is valuable possession and
should be so held. AS long as she will
produce fifteen pigs year and nour-
ish them properly the price Of pork
should never be high enough to drive
her to market. When her successor is
to be chosen let it be from her filters
when she is in her mature prime.

Dresses From Lace Curtains.

A clever New York society woman
has mastered new art-that of con-
verting old lace curtains into lace
dresses. She uses odds and ends of
curtains and covers the lace with Per-
sian embroidery designs. She plans
all her figures and makes the boldest
and most striking figures to be placed
under marquisette and chiffon. She is
in demand for bridal gowns and has
covered some fine point curtain lace so
daintily that it was the making Of the
gown. This is done with deep silk
embroidery of ivory tint, with an oc-
casional pearl bead or slight touch
Of silver. Deep f1ounces outlined in
some striking shade Of yellow or rose
under black or dark green are among
the ways Of giving a homemade gown
the look of Rue de La Paix
