 At a time like the present, some things must be sacrificed in feeding for milk production. It seems justi- fable to expect the animal to utilize a part of her stored physical energy.

A. Munsey Acquires More Property
 and Will Build Thereon.

Frank A. Munsey, who erected the MOhican hotel building increased the size from eight to eleven stories, and is now having an eleven story addi-- ton on the Mertden street side, and who also erected a four story building adjoining on State street, as well as the eighe-story annex in the rear, has just purchased a large tract in the rear of his present property and fronting on Church street, and will build thereon. He is easily the larg- est nonresident property owner in the city, and is entitled to the ceredit of putting New London on the map In-= so-far as goes it's cittfled appearance His large and beautiful building in State street revolutiontzed the con struction of business buildings in the city, but none have come up to the standard of Munsey, the Plant build ing being the nearest to the Munsey standard.
 MT. Munsey has purchased from William H. Guest. trustee of the sam uel H. Dudley estate, and who suc- ceeded MT. Dudley in business, the property located in Church street that lies between the new T. M. c. A. build ing and the Brainerd and Armstrong mill, and which gives to MT. Munsey the ownership of all the property be- street, through Meridian to Church street and down to the Brainerd and Armstrong mill except the Y. NJ. C.. A. plant. This newly acquired plot con- nects directly with the rear of the Munsey property in State street and almost since the construction of the Mohican hotel building, Mir. Munsey has leased a right of way over the Dudley property at an annual rental, so it Is said, of $500 a year. It is understood that the purchase price is close to $40,000.
 There is now on Mr Munseys new purchase a large dwelling house and building used for the wholesale car riage and blacksmith supplies business of MT. Guest, and other buildings that were used in connection with the car riage and blacksmith business that has been conducted there fer many years beyond the personal recollec- ton of men who have net survived the allotted time ot man. More than half century ago the business was con- ducted by William F. Keable, then by Dudley and Stevens, then by Sam uel H. Dudley and William H. Guest, his Son-in Jaw ~
 MT. Guest will transfer his business to the premises owned by the estate in Bank street which IS now partly occupied by D. E. aid J. F. Moran in the carriage and Blacksmith business and by A. Fl stanton horseshoer. MT. Stanton must vacate his place by De- eember l, and the Morans will move therein, while MT. Guest win transfer his business to that part of the pro- perty now leased by the Morans.

DRAINS FOR WET LAND.
Now is the Time to Prepare for the
 Spring Rains.

Before the ground freezes there should be many acres of land arti- f1cially drained. There is no better time to do it than the present. If done now, the spring rains will drain quickly, and the working of the soil and crop planting can be accomplished several days carrier than otherwise This is especially important when the season in this section is so short. Wet fields mean waste of labor and crops Where large drains gre to be made, the use of dynamite will undoubtedly accomplish the results easiest and most economically

For an average herd producing four per cent. milk. the following ra- tions will be highly economical:
 1. With silage and legume hay feed one pound of cocoanut meal to each four or four and enc-half pounds of milk.
 ?. With silage and mixed hay feed one pound of the second grade peanut meal to each five pounds of milk.
 3. With siiage and legume hay feed one pound of the second grade peanut meal to each six pounds of milk
 Your county agent. can put you in touch with the companies selling these meals.
 Feed these meals at first with pre- caution. Probably the best method would be to feed the grain on the sil- age.
 According to foreign reports these meals are fed alone and constitute the entire grain mixture. They are credited with being somewhat laxa- tive. Cows will be slow to eat them at first but the money saved prompts the advice of teaching even the dainty and finicky feeder to consume these meals as her concentrate.-Kari B. Musser.
