 The rainbow is in the sky and mo- where on the horizon can be detected any influence hostile to the flockmas- ters advance and success writes Frank Moore in the American Sheep Breeders Magazine. Meat is going to be g. scarce article for some time 10 ccme and it is therefore elected to be high in price. Mutton is more popular than ever before because it is better and getting still better. The breeding up process has been going on long enough to bring the mutton standard to a high level, but it s really only beginning. Now is the golden opportunity for the man with a weak flock to get some better blood and build ID. The cost for Q good sire and some good ewes is insignificant compared with possible results.

TIME TO FIGHT PESTS.

The Nebraska College of Agricul- ture in its news letter gives the fol- lowing information, which applies to farmers in this section of the country as well:
 'TNow is the time to begin fighting next spring and summer by burning all refuse and by spading or blowing Refuse furnishes wintering quarters for many insect pests both in their adult and 1arval stages. If such litter is cleared away as soon as possible these pests will be deprived of pro- tection and will largely perish by ex- posture to the clements. The pupae of other insects are buried just below the surface of the ground. If the gar den is spaded these will be exposed to the birds and weather. Such treat ment should be given not only to the garden, but as far as possible to all the closely adjoining land.'

 When considered for economy in feeding and for physiological value, tn following grain mixture is a very good one for November. Corn, 4 parts, Middlings 8 parts, Ground Oats parts, Iinseed oil meal 1-2 part
 One quart of this mixture weighs 2 lbs. Feed one quart of the grain mixture for each three quarts of milk produced.
 Cottonseed meal is the cheapest source of protein. and where a succu- lent ration is fed, that is, when either sflage, wet beet pulp, mangles, etc., Is fed, all the protein for the ration may be supplied by using it, and m such case the cottonseed meal can be increased to two parts and the Hnseed oil left out.-Karl B.

COUNTY IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE DATA
By DIRECTOR MURRAY D. LINCOLN

in Connecticut, has brought out some interesting facts.
 Surveys of some 55 farms were taken and then compared. They are divided on a basis of labor incomes. Labor income is defined as the amount of money that the farmer has left af- ter paying all business expenses of the farm and deducting five per cent. for interest on the money invested in the farm business, including land, buildings, equipment and stock.
 The average labor income was $546 for the 55 farms. The II best farmr CTS made $1,991 and the 10 poorest had a loss of $362. In other words these last 10 were not making enough to pay for depreciation and interest on the investment ''
 The reason for the success or fai1- ure of the farm usually can be seen Tn the following data: F

New London county has taken the lead in this progressive movement and has had an agent in the field throughout the past season. Hartford, New Haven and Litchfield counties are planning to start the work very soon.
 For the success of the work it is essential that a representative coun- ty-wide association be formed and a farm bureau established to carry on the work. The Connecticut Agricul- tural College Extension Service and the Federal Department of Agricul- ture are prepared to furnish fnan- cial assistance and to supervise the work.

BUTTERFAT FROM

By H. F. Judkins of Connecticut Aari.
 cultural College

The farmers of the state, in their determination to sell milk have natur ally tied themselves to the animal that will give them the greatest quantity. The idea that 1t is impossible to pro- duce butterfat proftably from HoI- steins is very prevalent and ttsis gen. erally believed that in order to start selling cream instead of whole milk, it would be necessary to substitute an- other breed. This is not the case
 for it is the total weight of butter fat in the milk that counts rather than the percentage. This fact is set forth clearly in Research Bulletin

The first really big night in connec'
tion with the State Firemen S conven-

drizzle, which made it unpleasant,
the streets were crowded until mid
night. In addition to thousands of
firemen there were many other visitors
in the city, come to see the big pa
rade.
The crowd was made merry because
of the ball of the Harrisburg Mum
mers Association in Winterdale hall.
Scores in fancy costumes mingled with
the crowds on the streets and helped
make the evening one to be remember
ed There were many other activities
that attracted the attention of the Wis
itors, the chief one being ball in the
Chestnut street hall for the delegates
and their wives.
Preceding the opening of the ball
the members of the Ladies Auxiliary
of the State Association, gave Mrs.
Samuel S Smith, of Norrstown. the
retiring president of the auxiliary, a
cut glass luncheon set. The gift was
presented by William Sharah, of Brad

was as follows: Mrs. William Sharah,
of Braddoek; Mrs. c. F. Harkins, of
York; Mrs. Charles Spears, of Read
