Members of the two local Connecti- cut Coast Artillery companies, Fifth and Third. are somewhat confused as to whether they will be called upon to registed June 5th in the military registration that is to be carried out on that day of all males from 21 to 30 inclusive
 According to regulations issued the National C1ard organizations that have already been mustered into the service of the United States are not required to register, but as the two companies the Fifth and Third, have not yet been mustered into Federal service they do not come under this classification and accordingly their members of the required ages must register. The fol- lowing is an eXtrac+ from the official registration regulations:
 Male persons who shall have at tained their Fist birthday and shall not have attained their 31st birthday on or before the day set for registra- tion by the president must register. the military or naval service of the United States. which includes all of fcers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy the marine corps and the National Guard and naval militia while in the servise of the United States, and officers in the off cerS' reserve corps ana enlisted men in enlisted reserve corps while in ac- tive service.

POULTRY ASSOCIATION
 HELD CONVENTION HERE
Eighth Annual Poultry Show Will Take
 Place in This City.

With delegates attending from New London. Mystic. Groton. Yantic and this city. the Southern New England Poultry association held a nneting on Thursday evening in the St. Joseph's sodaiity rooms. Henry c. Fuller of New London. president of the associ- ation presided and the report of the secretary, n. W. Schriver was read and accepted. Besides the transaction of the regular business, there was read . communication stating that an ap- les1slature, appropriating $500 for poultry shows in Connecticut. This amount will be divided among the ten associations.
 A favorable report was given by the convention relative to holding the eighth annual poultry show in this city. Several new members were re-
 Prof. W. F. Kirkpatrick of the Con- nectfcut Agricultural college spoke briefly upon the garden movement, the advice being given gratis to farmers all over the country and he referred workers in the agricultural colleges, and the raising of state and national food committees.
 All fig evidence that we are in the midst of the most extraordinary agri- cultural excitement ever known, he said.
 Now what shall pouItrymen do about their hens The conference at St. Louis, another at Chicago and the Secretary of agriculture. have all said poultry products ought to be doubled.
 The chicken man can render real service by growing poultry and in gen. eral 1t will be to his own private ad- vantage because 1t cost money to let plants be idle.
 Future demand for stock looks promising. Prices of poultry pro- ducts must ultimately rise to the same level as proces of other commodities. It's good farm management not to change ones business too often.
 Business can be made more profita- ble by culling out the drones and sell ing, thus reducing the grain bill. and keeping only the best for breeders by marketing surplus males. Selling inferti1e eggs and by better mAaage- ment, get higher average yields.
 It Is said that annually 500, 900, 900 bushels of grain are used in this coun- try for alcoholic beverages. This is enough grain to feed all the hens in Connecticut 300 years.
 As a purely economic proposition would it not be wise for the poultry men to at least temporarily join the Irobitionists, and help to divert this tremendous amount of grain for the purpose of feeding poultry and people.
 The arrangements for the convention here were made by Henry Congdon.
