There is at Maple Corner, where the last post st-office in Willington was located, before the admirable R. F. D. service came along and picked us up, uF Fna1 with the ones M. o. Lornegan has been instrumental in providing for every U. s: post office. While Mrs. kFsaton was postmaster at the time of the Spanish war at the request of the post general that flags be displayed at every U. s post office, the request was complied with and the colors since war was declared have been displayed at the former post -Office door are the reliots of that flag that the owner will retain, and still with the hope that it may last until a worlds peace is declared. Meantime she is very grateful to be able to proclaim. her Joy alty by the display of the beautiful new regulation flag, that is a community flag, as is every flag displayed in these strenuous days.
 Geo. A. Oosgrove has very kindly written the following by request for this column: "The usual three days midsummer meeting at Storrs college of the Connecticur State Poultry association, held Aug. 6, 2. 8, was especially favored by the presence of Edward Brown of Reading, England, who is over here on some mission for his government. MT. Brown is probably the best known writer on poultry subjects in the world, and has often made studies in foreign countries on poultry subjects for Eng land' 8 benefit. MT. Brown says that the Belgians are the worlds best pOultFymen. He gave two addresses the first was an impassioned presenta- tion of England and America in this war, which thrilled the audience and moved some to tears. MT. Collingwood, editor of the Rural New Yorker, also made two addresses. The one on "War Bread for the Hens was especially valuable, as owing to the high price of grain America is liable to lose large part of its poultry. Undoubtedly the price o1 eggs this winter will be higher than was ever known in this country be fore. The importance therefore O1 "War Bread for Hens'' can be easily seen. MT. Collingwood's suggestion is that the clovers, alfalfa. etc be cut very fine or ground, wet up with q small amount of ground grain and make this the chief feed. depending mainly on the clovers for the protein elements of the food. Hens will not lay so many eggs possibly, but it is better to produce 75 eggs with profit than 150 eggs at a loss. The thousand birds at the Storrs con. test with accurate records kept, afford many opportunities for confirming or disproying theories, and the figures and deductions therefrom by Professors Lamson and Leslie M. Gard, were especially interesting and instructive. Mr. Cosgrove was the guest of Pro lessor and Mrs. Kirkpatrick through out thee convention. They kept Opel house and their hospitality: and geniality contributed greatly to th' enjoyment of the many visitors.
