KILLING WILD ONIONS.

To Kill wild onion the work must
he started in the fall so as to destroy
the plants from the soft shelled bulbs
before they produce new bulbs The
best time for preventive operations Is
ches high, or during November arm
December in the North. At this stage,
the land should be plowed fairly deep
turning under all the onion, tops. The
tops should be completely buried by
the blowing, and for this reason a
piow with a jointer attached to the
beam will often be a great help.
Disl1ing the. land previous to blowing
will also aid in burying the tops. It
has been found that If blowing is de-
layed until a late date in the fall and
the land Is planted to small grain, on
ly few onion plants will ripen their
aerial bulblets by harvest time the fol-
lowing summer. AS the blowing should
be done at such a late date as to pre-
vent the best development Of fall
sown trains, it is preferable to plant
spring grains.
Sheep eat the tops OF the onion;
and grazing for a few years is report
ed as an efficient remedy for the pest.
Sheep apparently eat the onion most
curing the winter and early spring,
when there is little other green vege-
tation, or in poor pastures where
there Is little to eat but the onion.
On the better pastures 1t may be nee
essary to salt the onions occasionally
e give the sheep a taste for them
sufficient to overcome their natural
dislike

STAFFORD SPRINGS.
Several Small Buildings Erected Dur
ing Year-New Mill Next Year.

The number and kind of buildings
erected in Stafford during 1915 in
dfcates that the town is enjoying a
healthy growth. While there has been
no remarkable building boom, there
has been a steady demand for carpen-
tiers and builders and the result of
their years labor will aid quite O.
sum to the grand list of the town.
Among the buildings erected during
the year is, the new two-story brick
structure with basement, built by Al
fred Bidorini, on Main street. In adj
dtuon to the basement on the south
side there are three stores, with en-
frances on Main street. The second
floor will be used as a society hall,
and by Mr.. Bidorinf and family as
dwelling place. The Hudson garage,
which was begun in 1914, was COM
pleted in 1915 and is counted among
the 1915 buildings. The Foster block
on Main street was completed in Octo-
Der and besides six stores contains a
barber shop and restaurant. Cam
eron & Mali have built three concrete
houses on Keefe place. The work is
about completed and the three have
been rented and all will be occupied
within a very short time.
The large two-story double house of
John j. Quinn kept a large force of
carpenters busy all summer. and it has
been occupied for several weeks. The
house built by William Park on East
street and presented to his daughter,
Mrs. Lincoln Luce, is rapidly nearing
completion, and is one of the most ex-
pensive structures erected during the
year. George Gary has erected q
tenement house on Wellington avenue
and Fred Moore has built a two-story
frame house and barn on Westford
avenue to replace those which were
burned about year and a half ago.
Two bungalows have been built by
l.. Tontdande1 and B. Campo on Park
street. Mrs. Carrie Needham has put
up a tenement house on Gold street
and a house has been erected a little
southwest of the Milo Walker place.
Ellery Chamberlin has built a one
story frame building which he uses for
confectionery store in Staffordville
and the Fabyan wooden company has
built an addition to the Home mill in
Stafordvflle. With the coming of a
new mill Eext year it is expected that
the building in 1915 will considerably
exceed that of last year.

Too frequently the stable windows
are closed with no possible chance for
ventilation. This means in a very
short time in most barns where sew

will be a larger proportion of foul air
than of fresh air. Furthermore, the
various other gases which will be
given up suchs as ammonia will make
the air so foul that the health Of the
animals will be greatly impaired if
kept under such conditions long. Why
not put venti1ating system in your

EGG LAYERS ARE DOING
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Production In Contest at storrs
Shows Gain. of Nearly 600

The birds at Storrs have started in
the new year well. In spite of the
fact that the sun shone but one day
during the entire week and that rain
or snow fell during every other day,
the birds made a gain Of 1873 eggs
for the week was 1907 as against
1884 during the corresponding week
last year, a gain of nearly 500 eggs.
The gain was due largely to the in
creased. production on the part of the
heavy breeds but it will be noted
their own in spite Of the adverse
weather conditions.
First honors for the week go to
Tom Barrcn's White Wyandottes,
with a production of 40 eggs. Sec
