Y, won second for the week with 8 production of q eggs and two Connecticut pens, namely, Bran ford Farms White Rocks from Groton, and Springdale Poultry Farms Rhode Island Reds from Durham tied for third place with 46 eggs each. The Storrs Stations sour milk pen of White Wyandottes has been one Of the three leading pens regularly for the past six weeks which record is not likely to be surpassed during the re- mainder of the year.
 The total yield for all pens amounted to 2,S22 eggs which is 604 better than the preceding week and relatively 474 better than for the corresponding week last year. It now seems certain that the hens will gain between one and two thousand eggs over last years production in February.
 The ten leading pens to date are as follows:

SUBSTITUTES FOR WHEAT.
Should Have Same Food Vafue-A
 Good Grain Rations.

PouItrymen can no longer feed whole wheat profitably It will be necessary therefore to substitute some other grains thSt have very nearly the same food value. In this respect oats and barley about i'll the bill but we lind that they are also very high fin price. and therefore 1t would be wise to feed as much corn as possible. As long as this situation lasts. it will be prac- ttcal to feed & of a grain ration cracked corn, and A equal parts by weight of barley and oats. Because corn is & grain high in carbohydrates and is therefore fat-f0Tnfng and heat producing. It will be necessary to feed the grains in a. deep litter in order that the hens will exercise thoroughly to use LID the energy pro- V9ded by the surplus of corn.

CLOVER GROWING.
Of Much importance to Dairynen ane
 Stockmen.

The most successful farmers, es- pecially dairymen and stockmen, win be those who are feeding their animals clover twice a day and their plants nitrogen which comes from the air through the efforts and benefits of the clover. Red clover today is the legume which every farmer should be growing. To do this he must lime his soil, two tons to the acre, fill it with organic matter, seed slightly with oatc if seeded in the spring and use good seed. The following formula is recommended for top dressing of our grass lands when Q good stand of stubble- is present: 150 pounds of nitrate of soda 275 pounds of acid phosphate, 25 pounds of Irluriate of potash. The nitrogen should be val ued according to the soil conditions on the moist wet lands possibly 125 pounds of nitrate of soda would be better as it would cause less risk in lodging On the other hand with the drier soils larger applications can safely be made. For the benefit of second rowan crop the addition of 125 pounds of tankage would be desirable. Since the nitrogen from the organic materials are not as readily soluble
 this would supply for the later growth.

DRAINING TANNING FLATS.
Agreements Reached Between Cesare Del Carlo and Others interested.

An agreement has been reached be- tween Contractor Cesare Del Carlo, the trustees of the Bacl1us hospital and the Reynolds heirs by which the work of draining the surface water from the flats known as Earnings pond, and located near the junction of Oneco and Lafayette streets, will be continued. The work had been under way some time, appropriations had been made by both the city and town with the idea of having a drain large enough to carry away the surface water. and con siderable progress had been made when it was halted by interested per sons on the supposition that the drains were to be used as sewers. The agree rnent provides that only surface water shall be carried through the drain which is to be laid by Contractor Del Carlo.
 A trench has already been opened in the Del Carlo property, which was for merly known as Earnings pond, and this trench is ready to receive the 1S- inch pipe. There is a stretch of 100 feet between the Del Carlo property and the 1Sinch sewer already laid across the hospital property to be dug and pipe laid and connected with the sewer pipe. with that extending from the rear of the Reynolds property.
 An 1S-inch pipe now carries the water from the Gallows Hill brook to the Yantic river. This Is ready to re- CelN6 the IS-lncA pipe running LHHOUSH the Del Carlo property, and a new 30 inch pipe probably 100 feet in length will be extended alongside the 1S-inch pipe from the hospital property to the Yant5c river. This will provide enough sewer pipe to carry all the water to the river. Civil Engineer George P. Pitcher has been engaged in carrying on the work by Contractor Del Carlo and the ilosital and Chandler & Palmer have been engaged by the Reynolds heirs
 The city appropriated $500 and the town $1, 900 for the improvement in the property. which has long been a nuis- ance. The work will cost considerably more than the &1,59o appropriated, but the extra expense will be carried by Contractor Del Carlo, who owns the flats. It is expected that there will be an increased demand for building lots fin that vicinity.
