 MOMENTS.
25-cENT "pANDERiNEy MAKES HAIR THICK, GLOSSY, NAVY 7.
 AND BEAUTIFUL.

-l
 Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find single trace of sdandruff or falling ha1r and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will. be after few weeks use, when you see new hair. fine and 1owny at first--yes-bm really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 Darderine is ito the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation It, goes right to the roots, inyigorates and strens linens them. Its exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro- ducine properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No diff ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy. just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair. taking one small strand at time. The effect Is amaz- irlg-your hair will be light fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an iRcomparable luStre, softness and luxuriance.
 s Get a 25-eeilt bottle of knowlton's s Danderine from any drug store sor toi- let counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft. as any-that it has been neglected or injured by care less reatment-that's al1-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Dander- inc I.f.ss1+

FALL GARDEN CLEANING.
Destroy All Diseased or infected Plants After Frost Sets In.

Cut and burn diseased annual plants Remove vegetation that may harbor insects. Garden cleaning in the fall Is as important in its way as house. CTS or vegetables make up the garden plat. The achievement of garden cleanliness at this season will often do much toward insuring health and thrift of plants during the next grow ing season. The foliage and branches of plants which have been attacked by disease or badly infested by insect pests should be cleared up and burned n it is possible or desirable 10 clean away plants from some portions of the garden before frost such areas may well be soWn to rye as 8 cover crop the growth to be turned under in the early spring. Incidentally, also, .he patches of green will give the other wise bare garden a clean and more cheerful appearance during the win ter. -s
 It is after frost that cleaning is most needed in the garden. When annual plants have been nipped, those that may harbor disease or insect pests should be cut down or dug up and burned. If the soft-leaved plants which will rot easily are free from disease and insects they may be turned under advanta geousIy at this time. It is not we'll. however, to turn under tree leaves, especially such tough leaves as those from oaks These make valuable compost when routed, but usually rquire two years for proper decomposition. sThey should be collected and placed in a compost pile or pit maintained in a conven- tent location. Soil, wood ashes, lime and fresh manure should be mixed in the compost heap.
 The fall is the time to cut down asparagus bushes. This should be done after the foliage dies. The old canes of black raspberries also should be cut out at this time. If there is req son to believe that the trimmings har- Dor disease spores or insec-s they should be burned Rhubarb leaves should be removed in late fall, and the crowns mulcked with straw or ma- nllre

DRAFT HORSE BREEDING. Farmers and Stcckmen Would Do We'll to Give Matter Consideration.

The Draft Horse Show held at Springfield in connection with the National Dairy Show should be a step toward familiarizing the people of New England with a better grade of draft horses. Too little attention is paid to this and other classes of live stock as feature of our fairs, enter tainment of some form to great ex- tent occupying more prominent place on the program than high class stock shows. Tie National Dairy show demonstrated that there is a de- mand for something of this kind that Is of real educational value
 The Connecticut Agricultural Col lege showed two crcditable Percherons and were beaten only by J. Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Indiana, a firm that has in recent years won great dis tinetion as show men and dealers of high class imported draft horses. That the College stallion. Dragon Jr., was entitled to win in his class is the pop lllar opinion of ali who were; close ob- servers. This would have given him a championship in Percheron stafIions and been q soudce of considerab ble sat

CALF FOOD MUST BE RIGHT.

The raising of a really good dairy COW depends very greatly upon the way she is fed when she is a young salf. Most important among the de- tails is the temperature of the foods The most careful experiments prove that some milk is necessary for the calf before she reaches the age of eight weeks. The food value of this milk may be greatly reduced or even destroyed by feeding it cold.
 Feed milk warm always, whether it be whole milk or skim-milk. The nearer 1t is to the temperature of the COW, 102 degrees, the better The calf's stomach curdies the milk, the same as in a cheese-yat in which rem net Ca portion of the calfs stomach) is placed, provided the milk is pro- perly warmed. With correct temper ature and favorable precipitation of the curd in the calfs stomach, in- furious gases will not be formed But If it is otherwise, poisonous gases are generated and putrefaction, more or less severe, often prevails in the in- testines
 Thus it is that cold milk fed twice day injures instead of building up, and the calf shvers, humps her. back her coat stares and her paunch is painfully distended As a result her future usefulness as a COW Is i'm paired.
 The coat of thrifty calf should be smooth, close and shiny. not staring and dull. Success with young anf- mais comes from correct and sufficient feeding, and 1t must be carried on with persistent regularity.

FALL AND SPRING FLOWING.
Practice In New York State and Farther South Differs From That in New Enaland.

Fruit growers who have been at tending recent meetings have heard fall blowing. This Is generally prac- dced in New York state and further south, and is recommended for New England. Orchards which are in sod have many of their roots comparative ly near the surface, and it is ques- tionable whether 1t Is advisable to do much blowing in such an orchard late in the fall. The sod will not decay and mat down well enough but what the frost and water will get into the soil from the pockets around the roots which in some cases may do damage
 Those who do not have great deal of blowing to do and who want to be entirely safe. might well wait until spring, or experiment only in a small way to find out whether or not it is

KILL NOMINATING FOWLS.
Puiiets That Are Not Egg Produc- CTS Should Not Be Kept Over the Winter

This year, more than ever before, every poultry keeper who expects to get a profit from his fowls during the winter should cull out the undesirable individuals with utmost care and dis pose of them to the butcher Even the best flock of range-grown bullets contains or 10 per cent of inferior birds, and this percentage will in many cases run as high as 25 or 30 in locks that have been raised in con- nnement or where several ages have been allowed to run together.
 In all breeds, March, April and early May matched bullets should be laying or at least giving evidence that they are about to. lay by the first of December. Any bSkds which have failed to develop at that time will not be profitable and they should be disposed of at once. Late May and June matched bullets are likely to show larger percentage of culHs than those that were matched in the spring. It is not too early to dispose of lot of undesiranles from hocks of this age. Any individuals which are undersized or exhibit signs of low vitality or tendency to colds or ca tarrh will of a certainty never pay their board this winter, and it Is alto gether probable that if they are al- lowed to remain in the flock they will transmit some form of cold to the laylng outlets ana render them also unprofitable.
 A bullet with long crow shaped head, thin body and pale shanks is low in vitality and will never be a money maker. Although she may lay eventually, it will not be until late in the spring. and the present price of grain is so high and likely to be so high all winter that no man is war ranted in keeping over birds which will not begin to return a profit by the first of January.
 Many poultry keepers in their anx- iety to make as much money from their bullets as possible make the mistake of putting too many fowls in one pen. Leghorns should never be allowed less than three square feet per hen, and then only in pens con- taining 400 square feet or more The heavier breeds should never have less than four square feet per hen under the same conditions. On the roosts I1eghorns should have at least six inches per bira and the larger birds eight or nine incf.es. Tn the summer

cause of the digestibility and high mineral content. Tn ere is a.so call for eggs from peopie who can afford to pay these prlces to such an extent that the present detnand far exceeds the supply. This is one legitimate req son for the excessively high prices. Hundreds Of farmers all over the country have sold all or a large num- Der of their fowls during the past two months because If the high cost of feed, and as result of this there are many thousand less es:g produc : ing fowls in existence to- day than in previons years at this season.
 It. stands to reason tfsst farmers would not be selling their fcwls for meat at 10 ceEts per- pound live weight if they felt that by keeping them they could realize profit. during the fall and winter As a matter of fact it is. only expert poultrymen with every ad- vantage of equipment and well-bred stock who are able to make good profit with the present cost of raw materials and labor
 It costs $20 per month to feed 100 hens, and labor and overhead charges would increase this amount to S30 The average. production of fowls dur ing November, according to estimates from several agricultural colleges, is 15 eggs per day from 100 hens This would be a total for the month of 45o eggs, or little less than 3S dozen. Most producers are receiving 50 cents per dozen for their eggs at the, door at the present time. winch would make the average total income from 1G0 hens $2z.S0 s%
 These figures prove conclusively that the average farmer is losing $7.20 per mouth on every 100 hens during November ill spite of 75 cents per dozen to the consumer, and the months . of October and December would also show loss although not quite so great. Hens do not lay in the fall and early winter months, and 1t will be many years before careful breeding will develop enough birds which will fay at this time to bring the price of eggs down below 50 cents per dozen. Storage eggs vii! always have place in the markets and it will always be profitable for house. wives to store their own in the spring { When all consumers recognize this fact and prepare themselves, it will help to keep the price at a minimum { in the fall for the consumer and help to maintain reasonable price Cor prducer in the spring

NEW EGG LAYING coNrssT
SHAFTS OFF WE'LL
In Second Week Production Exceeds
 That of Last Test,

The excellent performance of the birds in the laying contest at Storrs seems to be prima facie evidence that in each succeeding wear the hens are better selected an3 better groomed for the race. In tho second week of the contest there was total yield of 124S eggs as compared with 911 eggs in the first week and 113e in the corre- spending week year ago. Further- more at the end of the first fortnight two years ago there were twenty -one pens that laid no eggs. Last year at the same time there were fifteen pens that had not got started. In the presl ent competition there are only twelve pens in this ciass.
 The White Leghorns are. maintain ing the lead they took in the first lap. The same three Connectieut pens that led in the first week were likewise leaders in the second week tut in a little different order. Hilltop Poultry Yards birds from Suffleld were first with A eggs. Hillside Farms pen from West Willington won second place with yield of 40 eggs and Clifford I. Stoddard's pen from Wood bridge were third with a production of 38 eggs. The nearest approach to these three leaders was H. W. Ceiling woods pen of White Lcghorns from Woodcliffe Lake, N. J., that laid g eggs during the week. Hens that can lay an egg every day in the week at this season Of the year are few and far between, yet there are two pull lets, Buff Rock No. f26 and White Or pington No. oS6 that laid seven eggs each in the second week of the com petition.
 The same simplified feeds that gave such excellent results last year will be continued in the present contest. The mash and grain formulas are as follows:

 Essentials in feeding for winter egg production may be summarized as follows:
