Great Egg Laying.

At the close of the twenty-third week of the laying contest at Storrs the hens had laid @ grand total to date of more than fifty thousand eggs When it is remembered that the lighter breeds, in- cluding the Leghorns, Campines ami Buttercups are now getting down to business better than ever before, the prediction of one hundred and fifty thousand yield for the year seems con servaCive enough. A pen of Leghorns supplanted a Barred Rock pen among the ten leaders, furthermore a Leghorn pen supplanted pen of White Wyan- dottes among the ten leading Connceti- cut pens.
 The total yield for all pens for the week amounted to 3, 898 eggs.
 It is interesting to compare indivi- dual honors for the first five months of the contest with the records for the cor responding period last year. The three best birds year ago, White Wyan- dotte, Buff Wyandotte and a White Leghorn laid total of 266 eggs during the first five months, the best score of the three being 93 eggs. In the present. competition all of the ten leading indi- viduals have made higher scores than this up to April l. The best three hens, Barred Rock, Buff Wyandotte and White Wyandotte have laid a total of 320 eggs.

Early Adjournment.

The approach of the date for final adjournment of the General Assembly of 1915 was indicated Me tuesday by announcement that this week probably both branches would hold afternoon sessions. Committees are sending in their reports freely and most of them last week had disposed of everything in hand.
 Leaislative leaders had looked for final adjournment on May but the likelihood of prolonged debate on finan- cial, appropriation and several private incorporation bills may prolong the ses- sion for 10 days or two weeks beyond that date.

The Peepul are the Goat.

A. F. Howe, in the New York Herald, writes thus interestingly of the fishing situation in Connections:
 Attorney General George E. Hinman has given an opinion that fish and game wardens and special protectors who make arrests for violation of the fish aud game laws are entitled to a special fee of S10 in addition to the regular official fee when conviction is obtained. The statute on this point is open to no other construction, says MT. Hinman.
 So long as this law remains un- plotted, trout fishing ill Connecticut, which theoretically is open now to the public, will be an annoying and expen- sive pursuit, except to the compara- lively few who own or lease land cut by the posted brooks. The public paye the. bill for stocking Connecticut streams with trout for the public benefit. Then the State mulcts the privilege" for which it pays.
 By invoking the universal trespass law through the instrumentality of OveIzealous and ubiquitous protectors of fish and game, the State in effect prohibits public fishing in every trout stream within it's borders. The State stocks a brock with trout with the understanding that the brook must be open to the public, but that does not hinder the owner of land through which that brook flows from arresting for trespass any one who tries to fish on his land.

Mad al Paint

25c a gallon for paint is about $2. 50 on the average job. and lots of men waited last year for that; but they didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't t pay it.
 There are times to get mad and refuse to pay; but when one's property needs protecting is no time to get mad and not paint.
 Besides, it costs more to get mad and wait than to paint.
 Getting mad doesn't do any good to your property; paint does it good by keeping out water; no water no rot; no paint, some water and rot; and a little rot is more than enough to make a man liberal towards his painter and paint.
 Paint costs not a cent. All the paint in the world, so long as it keeps out water, costs not cent. DEVOE

A drive through the country

farmers are making hay while
the sun shines" Farming is far
advanced, and it is particularly
noticeable that the farmers
are placing their land in good
condition. With good seasons,
everything points to a bumper
crop. Besides, the tight times
are beginning to loosen up, and
farmers who need help are be-
ginning to get it. 1t is hardly
possible that any deserving man
will suffer, and with econom-
ical living, light buying and a
limited cred this year, with a
good crop and good prices, every.
thing will be lovely next fall.
