Rhode Island Clam Bake at South
 Woodstock
Epicures from Putnam among Clam
 Eaters

At Sheldon's pond, South Wood- stock, last Sunday, thirty-three people enjoyed the last Rhode Island clam bake of the season. There were Put nam epicures among the number. Out of two bushel of clans a scant peck remained when the last clam was crowded home.
 It was our old friends the Chowder Quartette. They were on another one of their delicatessen rampages but they were not alone. They invited friends and 1t turned out to be good sized gathering.
 In the party were Alderman atlarge Joseph Lapalme and wife, Assistant Fire Chief Alphonse Bourcier and wife, Gaudiss Rivard and wife, Arthur Buregard and wife, Sam Dumas, M :. II. Geissler, Herbert Marsh, all of Put nam, Robert Stafford, Charles Sheldon and wife, Fred sheldon and family, and a number of guests at ithe Wood. stock peoples homes.
 The bake was in charge of Chef Bourcier :and he just had 10 do his darndest in front of such large gath. ering. He was equal 10 the occasion and from Guc haug chowder down to coffee the feast was a great success. The dinner consisted of chowder, blue fish, steamed clans, sweet and white potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, white and brown bread, cake, pastry, soda and coffee, and few other things now forgotten.
 It is said that Judge Geissler was toastmaster and look full, very full, charge of the ceremonies after dinner.

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
Summer Silo Gaining Favor as Source of Succulent Feed-Some Grain
 Should Be Given.

The summer silo is gaining favor rapidly as il supply source of suf- fieient amount of succulent feed. Many dairy farmers feed silage every day in the year and especially when pasture is not to be had. A small silo built and filled in the fall to be opened in July Is the most economical method of supplying Il succulent ration during short pastures.
 Sllage left over from winter feeding may be kept with very little loss un- til midsummer. Cows should be fed from 10 to 90 pounds of silage each day. Sllage alone does not furnish a balanced ration so some grain should be fed. especially to the COWS that give the most milk.
 At least one pound of cottonseed meal should be included on the daily grain ration.

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
important That Hay Be Cured So as to Save leaVes-Rake Into Wind
 rows Before Dry.

Two-thirds of the feeding value of the alfalfa plant Is in the leaves, If the leaves are lost in curing only one third of the feeding value remains. This makes il important that alfalfa hay be cured so us to save the leaves, This means that the alfalfa must be raked Into windrows before the leaves dry or they win fall off. The alfalfa should be raked into windrows an hour or two after being cut. This not only saves the leaves but also keeps it green and more of the flavor is re talned.

SKIM MILK NEEDED ON FARM
Excellent Feed for Calves, Chickens and Piss-Don't Send to Mar
 ket in Cream.

Creamery men advise the farmer to sell only rich cream, because 1t is an advantage to all parties concerned. Every bit of skim milk Is needed on the farm us feed for calves, chickens and pigs. and 1t does harm instead of good If sent to market in the cream.
 Of course If the cream is sold by the pint or quart. instead of on n butter fat basis. the story is somewhat differ ent, but wherever the grading system Is in operation, every bit of skim milk marketed Is worse than wasted so far as both buyer and seller are concerned.
