URGING DAIRY IMPROVEMENT
County Agent Lincoln Inducing New London County Dairy # men to Keep Daily Milk Records of Their Herds- # Furnishing Record Sheets to All Who Will Use Them

gage or increase the pocketbook's con tents.
 Some Cows Fool Their Owners.
 From < breeders standpoint records are especially valuable in assisting to find customers for their stock. and a buyer should insist on eeing an au- thentic record of the production before the case that a cow fools her owner by giving 20quarts for two weeks per : hapS and from then on to Eeighpors, buyers and the farmer himself she is 20-quart COW, Records often bring out the fact that this COW is beaten by her neighbor who started with To quarts and has given consistently dur ing her whole milking period.
 Records Help in Feeding.
 Records are also great help in feeding. If the farmer knows exactly what COW is doing he prepares her ration accordingly and leeds as much and as economically as she will show an increase on. Again, a daily record enables a dairyman to dete9 the ap- proach of sickness and so take steps to ward it off. Whether an owner miiks all of his cows or not. he can looking over the milk sheets. If a cer- tain COW has suddenly dropped in pro duction. there is some cause which should be detected at once.
 Great inspiration is obtained from keeping a record and nothing gives a dairyman more satisfaction than watching the improved returns from his herd.
 League Will Do the Adding. The main objection given by the av- craze farmer for not keeping records Is because of the amount of work at the end of each month in adding up the long coiumrs of figures represent ing the morning and night production Of each COW. To relieve the farmer of all expense and bother, the Improve ment league is ready to supply milk
 sneets furnished by the Connecticut Agricultural college and at the end of the month to do all the adding and figuring if the farmer will simply weigh his milk and set it down at each milk ing.
 Two of these milk sheets are en- closed in mailing tube readdressed to the county agent They contain spaces for 20 head of cows, recording l,uheir two milkir gs per day for one
 month. One of these sheets is put up in the barn and weights set down each day. When this is filled, the second one is put up in the barn and the first put into the tube and sent to the agents office. Here they will be added and taublated and returned with a | third new sheet.
 The agent has the free use of the | mails, so no postage will be required. All that the County Improvement lea que is asking the dairymen to do , now is simply to send card to the county agent, which will bring the record sheets by return mail.

While County Agent Murray D. Ei9- coin of the New London County iifl- provement league is busily engaged Tn the general work that he Is called upon to. do in connection with his pqsitlo,,n, ,,l there is one line that is especially engaging his attention at the present time. This is dairy improNefi1e ent work in Awhich he has already linteresleu about 30 dairymen, principally ID lne towns of Norwich and North8 S tohins- ton, introducing among then s a Insiil piai for keeping record sheets or the ihiliA production of their herds.
 It is the ..iI1 of the league 10 get rlu of all the unproftable cows III lne county, and they are asking every dafryman who is in the business TOT profit and not pleasure to join the ranks of the progressive dairymen Wno knew what their cows are oolns Tor them. Men who have been keeping records have realized their value and would not be without them,
 Fe Need Better Business Methods.
 Tho condition of the farming indus try as seen on the average farm points tosthe need of better business meth o;ls and more definite knowledge of the sources of profit and loss. In no de- partment connected with the farm is there more need of definite data than in the dairy.
 Since dairying constitutes the ma J in New London, county. the county agent feels tKat one of the most fm- ;ortant lines of improvement should be carried on in this connection..f
 Reasons for Milk Records.
 The keeping of milk records on a herd is one of the first steps to be un- dertaken in finding out just what our cows are doing OneSfarmer in Massa- ehusettss is quoted as saying that he didn't see the use of keeping these things, because they wouldn't make the cows give any more milk, but there are several reasons why it should be done by every farmer.
 First, daily records of the perform atlce of each COW in the herd makes 1t possible to weed out the unproftable animals; second, besides the additional profit gained thereby, for the increased interest which they, give to all connect ed with the work and the business methods which they have tendency to. promote; and, third, to show the possibilities of production and profit with different breeds and individuals.
 Constant Aim to Improve Herds.
 Records of the performances Of dairy cows form the only accurate and safe tasis for judging their value. 1t is the c instant aim of the progressive dairy man to improve his herd, and such i'm provement is largely dependent on ruli- ing the herd and getting rid of the un- profitable animals Can anyone tell the pleasure derived from milking a COW night and morning the whole year round when you are paying her to stay with you? She is not the kind of a star boarder that helps lift the nort7

bonors for Ulster and for Ireland"
Similar sentiments have been the
burden of sev eral other speeches, but
be has generally reiterated also his
detestation Of home rule and his oppo-
sition to the government us political
party.
So far the response Of the Ulster vol
unteers to the recruiting appeals has
not been large. but it is generally held
that they will be.
The effect of the war on British trade
is seen in the board Of trade returns
for August Imports compared with
the corresponding month last year
show decrease Of upward Of $65.OOO,-
600. while exports have fallen Off near
~ SlDO.O0O.OOO The imports of sugar
have dropped more than $7,5OO,OOO. of
which the loss Of $4OOOOOO falls on
Germany Manufactured articles show
!, decrease Of S42.5OO.OO0 in the value
IF imports.
In exports coal is down $1O,OOO,OOO
and manufactured articles $75.OOO,OO
OF the latter S12.5OO,OOO was lost on
ships and war munitions and $4,000
900 on cotton and wooden fabrics.
Its pointed out by the board of trade
that the decrease in exports is due
largely to the fact that certain classes
Of exports are prohibited during war
time.
The return issued by the board of
trade shows that the growth Of unem-
plOyment has virtually stopped. In the
trades where insurance against unem-
ployment is enforced the percentage
Of unemployment is G24 compared
with 3.34 last year,
The number Of persons seeking EN-
plOyment at labor bureaus has actually
fallen off. but it is still about double
what 1t was a year ago.
Recruiting, which is proceeding at an
amazing rate. accounts somewhat for
this. particularly in the north and in
the mining districts Recruits are APP
plying In such numbers that at some
places It has been decided to close the
recruiting Offices for a week.
Prices Of food show little change, and
this sts due more to increased freight
and insurance rates than to shortage
Of supplies. Meat and fish are arriving
in almost normal quantities,
The saloons Of London are closed
hours earlier than usual. At HULL,
Chatham and other places. where many
sailors are congregated, they have been
closed entirely. while in other provin-

munity.
Early had not attempted to hide his
real name from the health authorities
and the truth leaked out at last. When
his identity was known there was a
storm among the people who prepared
to drive him away. The county com
missioners offered to build him small
house on a remote part of his farm
and surround it with wire fences. but
even this did not satisfy his neigh
bors. and the case was taken to court.
There the commissioners were for
hidden to do as they had intended.
An appeal was made to the govern
ment. which at first showed no ten
dency to do anything with the sufferer
but finally President Taft demanded
that the case be disposed Of. 1t was
first proposed to make Early a light
house keeper, but the plan fell through.
Later he was sent to take charge Of
another victim near Port Townsend IN
a leper camp on Puget Sound.
He escaped three weeks ago and was
not heard from until he turned up in

thirty-nine were driven into a pit by

spite of the fact that the missionaries

resulted in the death of four soldiers
who had taken part in the expedition
sent against them.
When the Hawaiian monarchy was

be segregated, but in some of the out
lying districts they revolted against
the order, formed themselves into
bands of outlaws, and, armed with the
most modern repeating rifles in the
market, terrorized the inhabitants and
preyed upon them. These terrible out
