 The second year men suspected the freshies of pulling off their banquet on that day, and were busy early in the morning at the college, it was re- ported, rounding up all of the class they could find, and holding them in durance until the day was past. Some members of the freshman class eluded their captors at the college, and were chased to this city and other nearby points, while scouting parties of soph- omores journeyed to Norwich, Putnam, Hartford and Middletown to try to locate the place of the banquet.
 Some twenty first year men were locked in rooms hired for the purpose at the Hotel Hooker and the Johnson house in this city. and their apparel taken away, so that there was but slight likelihood of their disappear ing, for the day was cold.
 Other groups hung out at the rail- road station watching for the fresh men, but without success. It was stated that only ten members of the freshman class were at large Friday evening"

USE OF SPRAY FOR
 PROTECTING STOCK
Flies Are Very Troublesome to Farm Animals, Especially
 Nervous Dairy Stock.

At this season flies are very trou- blesome and are a source of much bother among stock. especially the nervous dairy cattle. A preventive in the form of a spray should be used. There are number of methods some times recommended for this purpose, some of which are supposed to keep flies on the animal by virtue of their bad odors or greasy nature, and some which are supposed to be sprayed on to kill the flies. Considerable doubt exists as to the benefits to be obtained from using any of these treatments. or as to the relative value of the different ways of combating flies.
 For spraying the backs of cattle at milking time, there is possibly noth- ing more reliable than kerosene emul- sion. The following recipe given Sy the United States department of agri- culture is one of the best ways of mak- ing this: Dissolve one-half pound hard soap in one gallon of hot water. and while still at near boiling point, add two gallons of kerosene, and emuisify by use of a force pump or agitator of some kind. Dilute with water, one part emulsion to eight parts water, and use as a spray, dip or wash.

GOOD METHODS OF
 PRESERVING EGGS
Solution Recommended Is 0nt Part Water Glass to Ten
 Parts of Pure Water.
CBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE,

(By K G. WEATHERSTONE.o
 There S-a several good methods of preserving eggs but the ~.:.e- glass method Is best Water glass can usual ly be purchased at a local drug store for less than $1 a gallon, making the cost about one cent for each dozen eggs.
 The receptacle used should be an earthenware jar of from five to ten gallons. The eggs should be placed in the jar each day, when gathered, as the fresher the egg the better it will keep. Care should be exercised to see that none of the eggs is cracked, or the whole jar of eggs may be spoiled in a short time.
 The jar should be placed in a cool cellar, a piece Of oiled paper or some other waterproof cover should be placed over to prevent evaporation. If this is not done, any eggs that ap- pear above the liquid will spoil rap idly. The eggs should be kept at least two inches below the surface of the liquid.
 The solution recommended is one part of water glass to ten parts of pure water.
