their meals four or five times a day.
The first food consisted of hard boiled
egg, ground shell and all, and mixed
with fine. dried bread crumbs and a
little fine charcoal. This was scatter
ed little at time on the floor of the
coop, which had already been we'll
covered with clean sand.
1t seemed absolutely necessary to
build tiny yard, of three wide boards
set on edge, in front of the coop, so
that the guineas might run in and out
for grass and exercise. Every tiny
crack and hole under the edge of the
coop and yard was closed, by throw
ing shovel of sod against it on the
outside, or one by one the guineas
would slip out, wander away and be
lost in the grass. When they were
three days old the hen was allowed
out of the coop in the tiny yard, that
they might learn to know her voice
and method of foraging. In a week
the board yard was taken away near
evening, being sure that the little
brood returned to the coop that night.
After that they needed no watching
and were seldom fed except at night
and morning.
Occasionally the mother hen was
driven to the corn field if not inclined
to forage. Cracked barley and rice or
chick feed were fed after the first
three days. During August the gui-
nea hens came off with other broods,
which they raised without any care,
unless the weather was stormy when
the brood was very young. All sum
mer these busy creatures chased the
grass hoppers in fields and meadows,
and devoured thousands of insects and
weed seeds, returning at evening to be
fed with the chickens.
The earlier Matched guineas were
worth over dollar a pair as broilers
when weighing one ard half pounds
apiece. The latter Matched sold in late
winter at one dollar and a half for
roasting. They are sometimes mar
keted in Philadelphia without picking
but do not bring so much.
All in all. guineas are among the
farmers best feathered friends, as
they roam the fields from sun rise un-
til sun set; and JOY to the farmers

turns for the few pleasant hours spent

Guineas And Their Value On The Farm

The investment that has brought
the best returns, for the sum invested
and the labor required, during the last
two years, has been small flock of
guineas. From three hens and one
rooster as foundation, sixty young
guineas were raised to maturity the
first year.
The first eggs We're found during
late May and June, and We're put UNI
der chicken hens to hatch, even though
the guinea hen had already been
hrooding. This method induced the
guineas to go to laying again. The
nests were not usually difficult to find,
and were often discovered by the farm
men in going about the fields and or
chards. They were most easily found
about eleven or twelve o'clock. when
the guineas could be seen flying from
their nests in the tall grass.
Great care was used in busting the
chicken hen mother thoroughly with
good insect powder, several times
while brooding, so that the baby gui-
meas would have no lice. Beautiful,
cunning little brown brides these bah
les were, full of life. and with big
appetites from the first. Unlike little
chicks they should be fed few hours
after Matching, and were ready for

Egrets Still In Danger

slaughter of egrets had been stopped

the murderous hand of the plume
hunter had been stayed from the fur
Their destruction of bird life. This is
not so. Were it not for the wardens
employed by the National Association
of Audubon Societies it is likely that
the last egret would fall victim to
woman's vanity and mans cupidity.
The State of Florida, where now
are the largest colonies of egrets, is
grossly remiss in its duty of protect
ing these birds 1t is doing nothing
indeed to conserve the wild life which
was formerly its glory and its wealth.
So long as northern tourists will pay
rino dollars for the plumes of each
single egret, Indians and whites will
kill the birds not only in violation of
law. but also in defiance of the human
guardians of the egrets.
The wardens maintained by the Au-
dubon Societies have been vigilant
and efficient in preventing raids upon
the nesting colonies, and the worn

It is probable that an attempt will be made in the next general assembly to repeal parts of the 'blue laws, re- garding Sunday amusements, particu- larly Sunday movies" with paid ad- missions. Although the Hartford The atrical Managers association has made no concerted decision on the question of having a bill introduced, theatrical managers said recently that they fla rored the introduction of bill which you'd provide for the submission to the towns of the state of the ques- ton whether they shall allow amuse- ments on Sunday which are now pro- hibited by law.

HAD TO PAY FEE
 FOR AUTO TRAILER
Owner Thought It Would Be Included in Registration Without Extra Cost.

The owner of ar automobile appear ed at the office of the automobile de- partment on Monday and asked that his two-whceled trailer, which he had attached to his Ford car, be included in his regstraton without extra cost The registration fee of the car was $11.-
 Chief Clerk Wetstine recalled that last September Attorney General Hin man gave an opinion on the taxa ton Of trailers that when truck, detach- able from either truck or pleasure car, was attached to 9 truck, the car. ying capacity of both trucks should be add . ed and taxed ac .ording to the total ca : pacity of both. When attached to a pleasure car, the registration of botE vehicles with separate numbers was required, according to the attorney general.
 It occurred to My. Wetstine that ths opinion of the attorney general re- ferred only to four-wneeled cars He had a conference with MT. Hinman n, who told him that. his opinion referred to tWo-wheeled trailers also; in fact. 1t did not see that the opinion of the attorney general was in any way in. huenced by the number If wheels.
 MT. Wetstine told the owner of the car that he would be required to' pay registration fee of $11 for the Ford car and SIS for. the trailer.

Probably never iii the history of New London has there been such d scarcity of labor cs aI the present time.
