 The hearing before the public utilities commission Ou the disonn tinuinR of the inteTurhau line between Rockville and East Hartford will be held as Hartford next Monday at IT,. 30 a. m The sentiment in this vicinity is not entirely opposed to the new service intended, as Stafford people would be able to take the cars here and go direct to Hartford with. out change Now a chauRe has tn be made at East Hartford, often with quite a wait there The running time would probably be reduced in time so that it would not be hut a very little louRer over the surface line. The road bed of the surface line will have to be improved before the riding will be as easy as over the inteTurban. The people of Rockville are much opposed to the change unless efficient train service is substituted between Rockville and Hartford at the same rate of fares as is now provided on the interurban.

sheep is a wire fence with barbed wire at the top and bottom. A 47-inch wire fence with barbed wire at the top and bottom is nearly dog proof A low fence will ordinarily turn dogs as we'll as sheep, and if the present amendments to the dog laws are passed, it should tend to keep the majority of dogs from the sheep fields and comparatively low fence would do the rest to large extent. Sheep should be shifted from one pasture to another in order to avoid diseases and parasites. '' County Agent Clifford spoke on the raising of steers and live stock, and of various home grown feeds which would tend to reduce the cost of production. MT. Clifford stated that for some of our hill towns, situated a considerable distance from the markets, that the raising of steers and dairy stocks for sale would be more profitable than the raising of dairy products. He believed that there were many sections where it would be extremely profitable to raise more grains fed on the farms SilaRe and alfalfa make an excellent com- biuation for the roughages fed, and are almost balanced ration in them selves. While there is so much dis oussion of alfalfa we should not forget the clovers. which analyze almost as high as alfalfa and are perhaps better adapted at the present time to our conditions. Corn as a grain ought to have more of a place on our farms Barley, oats and wheat on many places could be grown, and in the case of some of these grains put in us a succession crop after something else had been taken off, and would add very materially to the grain ration and probably give much decreased grain bill Prof Garrigus closed the institute with talk on the growing of hogs He sighted many cases of profitable hog production at the present time aud especially where western methods were adopted oi growing hogs in the pasture and finish. ing them off on corn A vote of thanks was extended to the speakers present for helping out at what was considered a very interesting and instructive meeting by all present.
