AS narrowing time draws near do
not feed any corn to the brood sows.
A pure-bred dam of course will al
most eliminate the element of chance.
The brood sows should have shall
low beds Of straw cut in short lengths.
The well Matched chick should be
kept quiet until the end of the second

A good dairyman makes a better
inspector than can be hired by any
state.
The trouble with all brooders is that
they are too high, not in price, but off
the ground.
After the lamb has its first fill of
its mothers milk, it can usually look

At least three weeks before cows

Sheep and poultry were never known

A corn field well cultivated appears
to be nearly an ideal place for raising

Ducking the head of roupy bird in
a mixture Of ounce Of permanganate
Of potash to 8 pints of water will often

That cows likes variety of feed Is
proven by the fact that they may

the borough hall, instead of in the town hall. was in the interest of econ omy. As the warden remembers the price. the borough must pay S10 for the rent of the town hall every time 1t is used for 8 borough meeting. There tE. of course, no charge for the use of the borough hall
 1t has been thought by some that the borough should have free use of the town hall on account of some ex- captions from charges for meetings that are enumerated in a paragraph of the instrument leasing the town hall, by the town, to Edward $. Car penter. This view seems not to be generally held, however, but rather the reverse-that the borough should pay if 1t wants the use of the hall.
 The paragraph referred to follows: The town reserves the right and privilege of using said hall for the annual town meetings of said town, for all regular elections to be held in said town, for the caucuses of the po- litical parties therein and for three special town meetings in each year, if the selectmen shall deem 1t necessary to call same; for high school gradua- t1on exercises; for two afternoon or evening rallies of the political parties; for two evenings for discussion of the license and no license question, and i for services on Memorial day, neces- sary heat and light without charge"

DANIELSON
Rumored Trolley Extension to Alta wausan, BaIlouviIe and PineVille- School Street Playground Suspend ed-Persian Walnut Tree at Park hurst Place.

Though those who could tell if they would have nothing to say for publi- cation, there is very good reason to believe that the project of extending the trolley line from Dayville to the villages of Attawaugan, Ballouville and Pineville is again being seriously con sidered. Two surveys of proposed routes have been about completed by w. K. Pike of Danielson, his work having been done during the month.
 It was learned Wednesday that if the surveys show that the road can be constructed for a price as low as s50,000, it will probably be built 1n- dications are that the estimate of con- struction cost will not exceed, but probably fall below that figure.
 The charter to build an electric line through the section of the town of Killingly referred to is held by the Attawaugan Street Railway company, the incorporators being local people Ever since the trolley line now in service was built through Killingly there has been talk of extending 6 branch through Attawaugan and Bal l louville At one time rails were dis tributed along a proposed route, bur after lying beside the highway fol months, they were finally collected fol use in building the line from Daniel son to Central Village.
 The proposed construction of thu 1 trolley line extension will awaken { great deal of local interest. Two routes are being considered, one of whicl follows the highway from Dayville t 1 the proposed northern terminal, thu other to follow the highway a part o the route and to traverse a privat right of way for other parts of tn distance, which would total betweel three and four miles. At Attawau gan the latter proposed route strike off from the highway near the Trus dell residence and follows fell course to a point near the Josepl Hazelton place, crossing the basebal grounds at Ballouville and then on t Pineville
 There are very few Killingly peo pie who would not be delighted if tn line were built. While the passenge business would probably not be regu larly heavy, 1t would be considera ble, year after year. The freight en of the traffic would probably be yer profitable, however. The Attawauga company alone would pay in heav sums every year for the handling C their freighting for three mills. A present all of their great amount (
 heavy trucking has to be done b
 horses and an autotruck, either froI
 Dayville or Attawaugun crossing.
 There are also opportunities for SC curing much other freight and expres business.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
Extracts from Letters of Willimantic
 EducatorERea in Senate.
Especial to The Bulletin.


 Washington, July S1.-During the speech of Senator e. s. Page of Yer mont on vocational education he read extracts from. many letters he had re- ceived from Interested parties in all parts of the country. Among others were the following from Connecticut:
 From Henry T. Burr, principal State Normal Training school, Willimantic. who wrote: q have. carefully read the report on vocational education which accompanies your letter of Feb. 29. With the objects of this bill am in entipe sympathy. 1 sincerely hope the bill will pass. The need of greatly ex- tended opportunities for vocational education is felt by nearly everyone who is, connected with the schools. It seerls to me that the matter is of great importance to the country at large, and believe that congress- would be altogether justified in appropriating money for the purpose noted in this bi1."
 Howell Cheney of South Manchester, member of the state board of educa- ticn, wrote: T agree with you most kdecidecly that education for the en- couragement of the trades and indus | tries has not had it's fair share of 1 public support which certainly can- not be said of the agricultural schools
 Charles L. Beach of Storrs, presi- ! dent of the Connecticut Agricultural college, wfote T am heartily in favor | of the passage of a bill in aid of agri- cultural extension. The results from { an investment of this character prom ] ise large returns, und trust that the \ present congress may take favorable ! action upon this important measure '

Roqus Players Getting Into Form.

Roque Players Getting Into Form.
 Roque is more popular than ever this season in this city and the players may be seen daily in action on Spell mans fine cour+ on Pleasant street, across the footbridge. A. D. Spellman is said to be the leading local crack although a number of others are play ing very fair games and some very close contests are waged between va rious eXponenls of the sport. One se- ries that is attracting as much atten- tion as any, is that being played be- tween Rev. Louis H. Flocken, pastor of the Methodist vhurch, and Town Clerk Frank P. Fenton. The games are very close and first one player led and then the other, but at present the Reverend contestant is one game ahead in( the series. Rev. MT. Flocken tried to get Town Clerk Fenton to go over the river for another game or two Wednesday afternoon but MT. Fenton pleaded pressing business and friends of the two players begin to feel that Fenton desires bit more practice in order to cope with his opponent.
 The Willimantic players are get ting into trim for the National tournament in Norwich this month and 1t is expected that a number of them will figure in the playing as considerable skill has been developed by several of them.

PERSIAN WALNUT TREE.
Growing at Home of Louis Parkhurst -Nuts to Be Planted for Seed lings.


 Louis Parkhurst resident on the west side, is of the impression that nowhere in New England, excepting on his premises, is there to be found healthy, thriving Persian walnut tree. Mr. Parkhurst is legitimately proud of the tropical growth, so ten der and delicate in nature as to sell dom ever successfully resist the rigors of northern latitude. This particu- lar specimen seems to be of distinct ly hardy strain. During the Arctic weather of last winter the ground about it's base and roots was covered with ice for many successive weeks and uninterrupted zero temperatures prevailed, but this spring the tree showed as strong and vigorous as ever and its rapidly spreading branches are now carrying clusters of nuts that MT. Parkhurst would not sell for less than $2 apiece.
 The tree has about 100 nuts, which are to be planted this fall. They grow in clusters, much like grapes. as many as dozen appearing in some of the groups. this number also being unusually large, the average in kin dred varieties of trees in this coun- try being about half that total
 This particular tree is six years old. | It was planted on the Parl1hurst place as a seeding, but has risen to a height of about 12 feet and has a trunk about 3 inches in diameter. The trees do not generally bear crops in paying | quantities until from to 10 years of 1 age.
 Having apparently providently dis | covered a hardy strain of this valua- ble tree. Mir. Parkhurst proposes tc use the nuts to produce as many seed | lings as possible with a view to ulti- mately growing the product in com mercial quantities, The tree is attract ing much attention.
 Another tree of special interest al the Parkhurst place is Japanes' walnut now loaded with clusters O nuts.
