PARADISE LANE.

The people of Paradise Lane hav,
much to occupy their time during the
winter months as the shipping of car
load after carload of sweet potatoes
goes to the city markets from this par
ticular district of Kent County during
the winters. The storage houses at
that particular point are arranged after
scientific principles, and with a view Of
storing sweets with the least possible
percentage of loss, and cost Of main
tainance. The prices this winter have
been good but not high as it was ex-
pected they would be at the earlier
stage Of the market. The crop is NOV
ing about as usual in former seasons.
The social life of Paradise Lane has
been marked with social entertaining
by several of the families where Young
folks are numerous, while the older
heads have indulged in the usual pleas
ures Of big dinners and evenings Of
music and games with the young folks
who come with them.
Miss Minnie Knapp entertained her
many friends of Paradise Lane at a
card and 'Crokernole" party last Tues
day evening, which was a pleasant af-
fair. After the games were thoroughly
enjoyed refreshments were served in
the dining room. Those present were

degrees TO go degrees.
Washing eggs does not necessarily
injure their fertility nor lesson theil
chances Of Matching, provided they are
not shaken up; in which case, they are
I unfit for incubation.
Dirty eggs will hatch equally as well
as clean ones, but they do not present
a neat appearance.
If you are not in a position to keep
the eggs in tempature as above stated,
better not keep them any length of time
before using.
While it is possible for abnormal eggs
to hatch, would not advise using them.
Eggs for Matching may be Kept as
long as six weeks, provided they are
Kept in the proper tempature and turned
regularly, but this statement is not
meant to infer that you should keep
them for this length of time. The
sooner they are set, the better.
Test the eggs on the seventh day and
remove all that are infertile.
When hens are used, and in case two
or more are setting at the same time,
make up your settings from among the
several hens when the test is made.
By so doing, you might be able to re-
set another hen.
With these suggestions, / hope YOU
Will be able to select your method Of
Matching, but remember, no matter
what method you choose, it rests upon
you to give the care and attention nee !
essarY to a good hatch.

The fowls should be watched very
carefully. particularly at this season of
the year, for the appearance of any
colds that might develop this ailment
over night and unless checked immed-
lately. it may result seriously. Go to
the coop regularly at night and listen
for that wheeling or unnatural breath
ing which is the signal that colds are de-
veloplng. This is the forerunner of
roup unless corrected at once. Remove
the affected birds and do not allow them
to again run with the flock until all
traces Of this affection has disappeared.

This is possibly the best season of
the year in which to rid the poultry
plant of all those old and worn-out
fowls. Just simply because a bird has
served you well in the past, is no rea-
son why you should continue to hang on
to 1t at loss. Fowls, with few excep-
tons, are rarely ever worth keeping
after their second year. January is an
exceptionally good month to unload.

Poultry PoIntera

Remove all the male birds from your
flock. save those that are included in the
breeding pens. This method insures
the production of infertile eggs for com
mercial purposes, and these are far
more desirable for that demand than
those that are fertile. Then too. the
presence of the male bird reduces to
some extent the egg yield.

FAVORABLE RESULTS FROM

A meeting of the Norwich Indian

noted, whom many in this city knew
as a skilfuI Indian woman physician
of the Omaha tribe for whom she
established a hospital. Letters from
an Indian student at Hampton, Va,
and another at Springfield, Mass, were
of interest.

GOOD CHANCE, FOR
RAISING OF BEEF
Secretary Healey Of Board of Aari-
culture Wants Connections to Take
Hold.


Leonard H. Healey. secretary OF TIE
state board Of agriculture. expressed
the opinion, Tuesday afternoon. that
there was a bright future for the ca.
tie trade of Connecticut IL developed
along business lines. He said there
were half dozen farmers in the state
engaged in the raising of beef and
their experience made. It clear that
the business was profitable. The lars.-
est herd consisted Of 80 animals and
the margin of profit on each animal
was encouraging.
Secretary Healey thought, howeYe-,
that the farmers who engaged in the
cattle raising business should form
cooperative societies for the purpose
ketfng the dressed beef. He said five
or six cattle men could have their
own butcher and their own slaughter
house and refrigerators, and In that
way save the profit of the middle
man for themselves.
The gloomy view taken by some
people of the future Of agriculture in
Connecticut was not shared by Secre-
tary Hea1ey. He has faith In the fer
tility Of the soil of the state and in
its adaptability for general agricul-
tural purposes. There was a great deal
of grazing land which was not used
for the purpose for which It was IN
tended. It was stated some time ago
by an authority on agricultural al,
fairs IN this state that during the past
80 years thousands of acres OF land in
Connecticut had gone out of cultiva-
ton and were now In disuse. The land
was admirably adapted for grazing
purposes.
