SHOULD PRODUCE PORK.
Increase in Supply Necessary to Meet = War Program.

Farmers ; should set themselves seriously.to the problem of producing more pork than ever this year. The supply throughout the nation is con siderably less than last year and the national food administration esti- mates; that fully 15 per cent more than the normal suppiysis necessary to meet the big war program this year. There is no question that. pork prices will be high and the farmer who raises pigs with due, regard to economy in feed : ing. should make, a profit in spite of the, high price of grain which prevails.
 Statements given out by the, United States department of agriculture show that there. is an ample grain supply in the l, United States. to take care of any probable increase in the number of hogs. The figures show that the average number. of hogs, on the New England farms, is only two, when dou
 ble that average could be, raised economically by feeding farm waste, England farmers take, advantage of this opportunity, not only :to make a small profit, but to render a patriotic service, the increased pork supply next fall will go a long way toward meet ing the, food shortage in New Eng land. J
 There is q scarcity of breeding sows in this section and. the suplE of young pigs this spring. will be very limited
 Thiss makes 1t imperative that every young pig should De raised and every one should take extra precautions that
 none are killed by the mother or. die from lack of a little care at the right time; \. ,4. sytf i--- .f-

TIME TO PRESERVE EGGS. Method To Be Foslowed-selief That Eggs WilI Be Especially Scarce and
 High Next Winter.

Eggs are lowest in price and high est. in quality during the months of April and May. Thrifty housewives are making plans now to preserve egs, for use this fall, and winter. :. This plan is especially -s advocated this spring since there are less than 50. per cent. as many. laying hens as there were "a year ago and present indica- tiions are that only :, 50. per cent. as many chickens will be matched at: this season as were matched last year. Furthermore this is the situation all over New England. All these factors would seem to predict a very high price for fresh eggs next winter. Con- sequently by preserving eggs now. a real saving in money will be made and tfre+ housewife will. have available a very valuable fod for her family.
 Water glass solution is one Of the best preservatives for >egs, since. fresh eggs properly packed in it keep wellxfor 10 months. and can be used fin every; case in place of fresh eggs. Eggs so preserved are superior in flavor to cold storage leggs,, and are very palatabie. As eggs are a per isabie food and quickly, lose their
 fresh flavor, eggs to be Hput down. in water, glass, should be not more than three to five days. old, and should have been kept in a clean cold place. The eggs should be unwashed. but

USE FERTILIZERS EARLY.

Fertilizers should be applied to, the soil as son as. it is in condition and narrowed in. If desired to make later application, after the plants are set, the material should be applied between the rows a few inches from the plants.
 The use of lime is advisable espe- cially on heavy soils. It is necessary to use it in connection with green manures or the soil will become acid 1t: may be applied in the form of air slakeG lime. which is usually a mix ture of the hydroxid and carbonate of calcium, as ground lime, or as ground limestone The ground lime stone is slower in its action than the oxid or the carbonate. From five to 10 pounds of the ground limestone and half this amount of the ground burned lime is sufficient applica- ton for each 100 square feet of soil.
 About 50 per cent. of ordinary earth is not soil at all, but consists of air and water. Water makes the soluble plant fod in the soil freely available. while the air makes pos cilitatel chemical action, which makes additional plant food avail able.

 Nitrogen which stimulates leaf growth, is best supplied by turning under rich, well-rotted or composted manure or .rotting vegetable matter.

FARMING IN. A BUSINESS WAY.
A Safe System MTiI Mean Safe .s-, Production. ,-,.,

There never was a time in the hos
 tory. of agriculture when it has been
 so important as now for the farmer to
 have a record of his business The at
 tention of all classes of people Is fixed
 on the farmer today who is bending,
 every effort to increase the production
 of food for our own country and our
 allies With this fresh need for; pro duction comes the farmers oppor- tunity to gain the same reco gnition
 ill the business world that is now ac-
 corded to other industries which. are.
 reducing the cost by .increasing their
 output. It is through a simple meth
 cd Of farm aceopnts that the farmer
 will be able to keep in touch with his plans and know :what9is accom- plished
 on the individual farm. 4 safe system will mean a safe: production. To ask
 price, 8 farmer, should know the srel-- ative cost of production and the prof itabieness of the different departments of the farm business under the pre- vailing conditions 4 simple system of accounts will furnish this informa- tion. Accounts on the farm have been neglected for a long time, but the
 farmer cannot afford to neglect them any longer. E. tss. l Considerable money is invested In the farm business which the :. farmer uses to increase his earnings. Invest
 ments in such an enterprise are among the last to decrease in value during a. financial crisis. On the other hand, ! there is an increa sing difficulty of se- curing labor on the farm, which may ! make it. necessary for the farmer to obtain additional capital In order. to secure labor saving farm ma cninery or to meet other needs which the rapidly changing conditions have brought about !
 Recently many banks in Connecticut have adopted a system of co-opera tion with the farmers of this State in the nature of a plan for short time loans This movement marks a new era in financing farming and briefly stated, puts farming in Connecticut on the same business basis as other industries. 1 By properly filling out a credit state nent sheet adopted by, these banks. farmers may be able to secure short
 time loan on 8. satisfactory basis.
