 tober A carefully arranged proA
 gram. from a much larger number of dances taught during the year, held
 the attention of parents and visitors from the first to last. Each number was of special interest and wholly diff ferent from the others. The little Conner sisters did 8 pretty Spanish waltz together. Little Irene showing the grace and skill of her three years of Gilbert Work. She always pleases with her dancing. Other pupils, one year in Gilbert training did re- markab1y well. Two numbers were omitted from the program on account of the Iateness of the hour The numbers especially liked were the In dian. the smallest Indian, just five years, causing nipples of laughter with his bow and arrow boise, the Colonial and the Skirt Dance. The interpre- tive Gilbert dance while a classic poem was enchanted was very gracefully executed and the color effects in wings and the voice accompaniment adding greatly to the whole effect.

WHO WANTS TO BUY A
 BRIDGE AT A BARGAIN
Westport Does Not Know What to Do With Her State Street Bridge Here's a Fine Chance for a
 Hustling Junk Dealer.

Westport are of one mind that a new bridge over the Saugatuck river in the center is absolute necessity, and that it would be a wi1fuIl waste Of funds to attempt to repair the pres ent structure. There are still some who believe that the old structure could be repaired so that 1t could withstand medium traffic, or until such 8 time as the town or state can find itself ready to dig down and put up the funds for new construction. The bridge has been in operation since 1876, that is part of the construction,
 addition being made ten years lat CT. When constructed the bridge was never meant for any such heavy traf- f1c as passes over highways these days
 An engineer for the Berlin Construc- tion Co.,, builders of bridges, has sub mitted a report Of his inspection of
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-10

the bridge to the selectmen. He finds that the bridge might be repaired, that it is not yet beyond redemption The bridge he finds is all tight in some re- spects, but that the inspection was not made with the view of deteynlfn- ing the safety of the bridge to carry trolley cars. The engineer gives 1t as his opinion that the bridge with the many repafrings that he suggests will carry load of seven tons, in addition to the dead weight due to the mate rial composing the bridge. He adds however, that bridges at the present time of the nature of the State street bridge are made to carry at least 1e ton loads due to road roller and auto- mobile truck traffic.

makes a quick shelter in case of a

ing many dollars worth of your most
valuable chicks. Such things are not
necessary in close quarters.
Best Feed Required.
See that the feed is of the very best.
You may think that you have some
thing fine because it is OF a brand that
is highly recommended which is all
right, so far as that goes, but at tines
something occurs in the handling of
this feed that il becomes tainted or
musty. Feed of this kind, while II
might be used with a fair degree Of
success for strong, vigorous old hens,
the young and delicate growing chick
can not stand anything of the kind
and will soon be suffering from indi-
gestion, bloated crops. bowel trouble

Take Good Care of
The Early Chicks
They Will Be the Hens Giving Eggs
at Critical Time Next
Winter.

Because eggs are comparatively
cheap now for a few weeks is no rea e.
son that they are going to remain
that way. In fact, these conditions
will be 50 only for a snort time. and
they will gradually begin to increase
in price and keep up the lick unit!
next fall, and winter finds them al
most out OF reach OF the average per-
son. and yet people win buy eggs at
almost any price if they can get good,
clean, fresh ones.
The hens that will give you the eggs
at the critical time next winter will be
the pullets that you are taking care Of
now as little chicks providing, how
ever, that they get the proper care so
that they may keep up a good, con-
tinuous, apid growth from now until
they are ready to go on the nest for
their first egg.
Old hens can not be depended upon
for this work, except in rare in
stances. The majority of them are
lust recovering from their mOult and
fail to get ready for business before
mid winter. Pullets, therefore, are
the ones that can fiji their places and
late Matched ones will not do it, so il
behooves us to keep every one alive
that we hatch.
Night Providers.
Look out for night providers of all
kinds; have your coops so tight thaJ
they can not get to your broods to
disturb them.
Heavy rains these spring days are
one Of the greatest enemies We have
to the growing young broods. At a
time when we are not thinking about
il the heavy spring downpour comes
on 80 suddenly that they have hardly
time to think about IT. much less TO
get under their accustomed shelter.
Where growing chicks have quite lit
tie range and get some distance from
their coops it is a good plan to fix
some temporary shelters. These can
