resenting the Young Mems Christian Association, is an emblem of sacrifice; the large company of men who are giving of their time and money are glad to sacrifice in order that the young men may have the privileges, and may be made to feel at home. The employed officers of the Y. M. c. A. are in many cases making great sacrifice; they give up the opportunity of making much more money in order that they may serve their fellows.
 Then, the men like you who are serving their country are making a great sacrifice: leaving home and kin dred, and good position in order that freedom and democracy may prevail; The Star Spangled Banner continues to wave because men have made and are making sacrifices.
 The greatest sacrifice ever made was that made by Jesus Christ, who came to bless the world, and for his reward was put to death on the cross. The need of the world today is men, real men, Christian men, who will dare and die for the right. The reason why we know the allies will be victorious is because we are striving to follow the lead of the Christ. and Germany is evidently not doing this; Germany will more and more find out that Un- cle Sammy is around"

DECISIONS HANDED DOWN
 BY JUDGE JOHN E. KELLER
sustains a Demurrer to Second De- fense in Case of Mae Richmond vs. City of Norwich.

Judge John E. Keeler has handed down decisions in several matters which came up before him in the su- perior court in New London and Nor wich recently
 In the case of Mae Richmond against the city of Norwich, Judge keeler gave a decision sustaining a demurrer to the second defense. This was a case brought by Miss Richmond to recover damages as the result of being shot by guard at the reservoir in Nor wich about two years ago.
 In briefly giving his reasons he closes by saying: The belief by Matri that the plaintiff and the chauffeur in- tended to harm the reservoir and dam is immaterial, the question to be tried is whether he had any grounds to ap- prehend such a result. Only in the latter event would he be justified, if at all. in shooting the plaintiff. Matfi's S intention not to wound, and his lack of knowledge as to whether the plain tiff was in fact founded by his act all bear upon the question of his nesli- gence or trespass, as may be claimed and can be iitigated properly under allegations of the complaint and de- nials in the first defense of the answer In fact, I can see nothing in the sec OIO QelGHS0 OI WHICH lHS QGIeHQdHl cannot avail himself by virtue of the first defense.
 In the case of Charity and Relief Masonic lodge against Mary F. Wolfe of Mystic, judgment to recover $1 and full costs is given the plaintiffs. The case was a contest over a right of way In his decision Judge Keeler lets an in. junction issue with a penalty Of $1,0Ot restraining the defendant from future obstruction of the right of way
 Judgment for the defendant is given in the case of the Ebling Brewing com pany of New York against Anthony Squadrito of Stonington to recover payment of a note. Judge Keeler de- clares that the note was fraudulent and he orders that the note be sur rendered for cancellation.
 A demurrer is overruled and mo- ton to expunge denied in the case ot Joseph S. Collins of this city against the Loyal Protective Insurance asso- citation.

cULLlNG OUT THE SLACKERs
 IN THE HEN FAMILY
instructions Given Out by the De- partment of Agriculture to Poultry men,

The time has arrived when every poultryman. however large or small his flock. must be carefully watching for tl'S indication of production. The stacker hen is more. than an unpro- ductive boarder, consuming large quan- titles of expensive feed: her presence in the flock tends to decrease the pro- duction of the laying hens. The room which she occupies and the part which she plays in driving the house and range make conditions that much less favorable for the workers.
 Culling out the stacker hen is a work which can be easily done by any poultryfnan or poultrywoman who will give the matter a little thought and study.
 At the time the hen starts laying, the vent, earlobes beak and shanks are yellow. And this material is taken up by the blood and used for the de- velopment of egg yolks, it is naturally removed from these parts. The vent
 becoming blueish white after few eggs are laid, the ear lobe fades next then the beak and last the shanks. As she stops laying, the color gradually returns.
 There are the surface indications but | there are exceptions to all rules and il l is only by giving each due credit that
 a correct conclusion can be reached. Last fall New London county held IA culling demonstrations on the farms of representative poultrymer with a total attendance of 121 The number of hens handled were 1902, o1
 which S91 or 59.4 per cent. were re-
 tained and 611 or 40.6 per cent. reject
 ed. Four hundred eggs were laid the week previous to the culling and 37i the following week. This was de- crease of only 5S per cent. in pro-
 duction, while 40 per cent, of the feed ] was saved. Tn addition A poultrvmer
 owning 2,9S3 birds pledged them
 selves to put into practice the methods
 learned at the demonstrations.
 The Poultry department of the Con- necticut Agricultural college co-op-
 erating with the New London County 1 Farm Bureau is prepared to givt demonstrations on any farms of fifty l hens.
