Spring is looked upon by many as

Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
 a Splendid Habit
Open sIulees of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, staenant matter.

Those of US who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when. we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, lame back, can instead, both look and feel as fresh as daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestibIe waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins, thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness, constipation. stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiastic. on the subject of internal sanitation. Try 1t and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.

 The two diseases may be controlled by lime sulphur spray. Either use a very dilute comerctai lime sulphur, one quart to fifty gallons of water or Scetts formula of uncooked lime s1l- phur. Scott,s formula is prepared as foIlows:-
 Use pounds of sulphur and 8 pounds of lime. Slaie the lime and add the sulphur sifted. Allow it to slaa1e and boil for five minutes and then cool by adding cold water. Strain this into a fifty gallon spray barrel and add water to make fifty gallons of spray material.
 For the insect enemies two pounds of arsenate of lead Sl-e.ild be added to the lime sulphur solution. Spray just ;tfIer 1se shucls or calyxes fall. Spray again in ten days | or two weeks and once or twice at in- teryals of ten days, using the poison only in the first two sprayings. Plums and cherries may be sprayed with the same materials that are used on the peach but care should be talk | en not to use the unboiled lime sul- phur spray when the fruit is nearly | grown or iI will be stained,
 Do not neglect to spray the goose berries with dilute lime sulphur and arsenate of lead for mildew and cur rant worm.

PERcHERoNs AT THE coNNEc. TIcUT AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Through an arrangement with S. D. Wicks, of Pomfret, the Farm Depart ment has arranged to stand. tke inn ported Percneron stallion Karieu No. S9655 (92332) at the College for the present season. He is a. well built six year old black stallion, weighing in ordinary condition, about 1700 pounds, has plenty of bone and should be of considerable value to the farm CTS of this section.
 The two year old Percheron stallion, Dragon, Jr., which is being developed onS, promises to be rather an excep- tional animal. Good judges consider him one of the good colts of the breed.
 The fact that he is sired by Ora gon, an International Grand Cham picn, and out of a daughter of Etudi- ant, a Paris Grand Champion, gives us three valuable points to be considered in sire. Individual excellence back ed up by immediate ancestry of some of the best animals of the breed, the blood being further intensified from the fact that Dragon and Etudiant are both by the same horse, Cronstadt This should give the colt unusual power to transmit his qualities to his get.
 Two other sons of Dragon lave beer ! recently purchased by Connecticut parties. E. D. Curtis of Bantam ha. selected good two year old out of the | well known mare Castillo and Pau Ney of Pennington, one from the re- serve champion, St Louis mare, Eau Vette.
 The infusion of this blood into tho l horses on the farms of Connection should marke a very decided advance. ment in the production of high class horses of a type that is always 1T demand.

HOW TO KILL CUT WORMS.
Colorado Professor Has Formula That is Guaranteed to Eliminate the Pests.

c. P. Gillett of the Colorado agri- cultural college has some helpful sug- gestions on treating the cut worm pest. He says:-
 Every season farmers are troubled seriously by the ravages of the cut worm. The adult insect which de- posits the eggs that produce these worms is the familiar dark-colored moth or miller that frequents our dwellings during ille months of May and June. where it accumulates upon the windows and about the lamps. The eggs are deposited by these moths all most entirely upon green vegetation, where they hatch, and the worms are usually about half gown when cold weather comes on. They then hiber- nate and come from their overwinter quarters in the early spring to at tack the earliest vegetation that starts in the fields.
 Where these worms are very abund- ant, especially where they take on the migrating habit, they may be de- stroyed in great numbers by the use of the arsenic bran mash preparation such as is used for the destruction of grasshoppers. It is prepared in the following proportions: Paris green, 1 three pounds; bran, 50 pounds; cheap syrup, four quarts: lemons or oranges, 10. Mix the paris green and bran together He7ile dry; dissolve the l syrup in the water; squeeze the lemons into this, and finely chop the peel and pulp and add them also; pour this mixture into the bran and paris green, and stir so as to dampen the
 mash thoroughly. The lemons may be prepared by putting them through a meat grinder. Distribute the mixture broadcast in as fine particles as pos ] sible where the cut worms are most abundant. The application should be
 made toward evening or early (oe- | tween and o'cloclk) in the morning From three to five pounds of dry bran | is usually sufficient for an acre ot
 land, when used against grasshoppers ] Never distribute in little piles. Fol cut worms, distribute freely just
 ahead of the line where the damage is most apparent.
