Breed Theatre.

Today and Thursday Edith Storey will be seen at the Breed theatre, The Demon, a thrilling story of Algerian life. This picture marks a radical change in the character of Miss Sto- rey's screen impersonations. It sig nalizes the departure of Miss Storey from dramas of western life into a field of romantic comedy and satire. As Perdita in The Demon, the star has a role different from those in her recent pictures. The characteri- zation, that of an American girl sold in childhood in an Algerian slave market and reared in the bandit rid den hills of Corsica, runs the range of emotions, and is just such a part as this gifted actress fairly revels in.
 Pearl White in The House of Hate, photoplay with a thrill every min ute. a new Mack Sennett comedy en- titled Saucy Madeline, with Ben Tur- pin, Charlie Lynn and Polly Moran and the famous Burton Holmes tra- vel series make up the remainder of the bill

WATCH OUT FOR FALL COLDS.

While getting bullets in shape for maximum egg production it is impor tant to avoid the, condition com monly know as fall colds" Perhaps the chief cause of colds is crowding chickens in roasting houses which are not properly ventilated. Even if no colds result, birds which are forced to breathe hot, impure air will suffer considerably and will be slower in growing. An excellent plan for summer roasting house is simply a frame roofed over to protect the birds from storms and, if protection from enemies is necessary, covered on the sides with wire netting.
 If an ordinary colony house is used it should at least have a gener- ous rear ventilator. If the house is of the shed roof type and twelve feet long the ventilator should be five or six feet long by fifteen inches high and situated just beneath the plate in the middle of the rear wall of the house. If hinged at the top to swing out there will be no danger of rain driving in. Then, if the roosts are placed one and one-half or two feet below the lower edge of the opening there will be no danger of direct draft on the birds.
 Fall colds ordinarily appear just as case of "Snuff1es" with a slight rat tie in the throat. The surest way to detect them is by going among the birds at night. Any bird that is wheezing is then easily located. Fur thermore, distinct and characteris- tic odor will be noticed if many birds are affected.
 The only sure preventive measure is ample ventilation of the roasting houses. This is necessary because of the very large amount of moisture which fowls give off from their lungs. To keep the air reasonably dry this excess moisture must be carried away about as rapidly as it is expelled from the lungs. To handle the situation successfully requires considerable air circulation through the house. In
 mild cases of colds prompt provision fer ventilation of the roasting quar- | ters will ordinarily bring about a
 rapid cure. If this does not suffice
 the easiest practice and, all things
 considered, perhaps the best is to re-
 move the affected individuals and place them in an open yard where
 they will be compelled to go into the
 trees to roost. This strictly fresh air
 treatment will usually bring results -Leslie E. Card, Poultry Department | Connecticut Agricultural College

PREPARING FOR THE APPLE
 HARVEST.

Apple barrels are scarce. high priced. and hard to get. The later in the fall you wait, the more trouble you will probably have. Even now, many firms are not at all anxious to take orders. It is time to make sure Of a supply. Tn apple crop in Con- nacticut will not be large and there are indications that only a small part Of the crop will be marketed out of the state. But this does not mean that one should be careless because he Is catering 10 nearby markets. It pays to grade fruit and put it up in attractive packages.
 There is always more or less in ferior and improperly graded fruit on the market. This usually occurs in the fall when the crop is being har- vested. Some growers with only a small amount of fruit rush it on the market orchard run" and perhaps for a time the price falls, but at such a time keep your graded fruit at home and then later when the inferior

HARVESTING ROOT CROPS
 WITH A MANURE SPREADER

The manure spreader need not stand idle during the harvesting of root crops. Like any other piece of ex- pensive farm machinery, it is an nually depreciating in value. In view of unusual labor conditions and the high cost of farm equipment, it particularly behooves everyone to make the best possible use of ma chimes.
 Some farmers have saved time and money and effort by utilizing their manure spreader for carting cab bages, turnips, and mangels from the field and unloading them in the stroage cellar. To adjust the spreader for this purpose remove the beater from the end of the box and set up board in it's place in such a way as to be easily removed. When the load has been transferred to the cellar, this end board can be lifted and by attaching the crank to the apron shaft and turning by hand, the prod uce can be easily and rapidly un- loaded.-B. A. Mcdonald, Assistant Farm Management, Connecticut Agr- icultural College.

4 DAIRY CREED FOR
 CONNECTICUT,

The directors of the Holstein Erie sian Association of Connecticut at a meeting last week adopted the creed outlined below. According to Profes- sor George C. White of the dairy de- partment, this creed represents the very best thought with respect to the development and improvement of any breed of dairy cattle and is just as applicable 10 other breeds as to Hol- steins Enormous progress has all ready been made in selecting on a basis of actual performance, and with the yearly increase in advanced reg istry work the time is not far distant when all breeds can be improved by a little intelligent effort
 }. We believe the test of a dairy COW is her ability to produce milk and fat year after year.
 2. We believe every grade herd should be headed by a pure sire of tested dairy inheritance.
 g. W0 believe a disappointed be- ginner in the dairy business is the worst form of advertising. i We believe no dairy breeder ir Sl,e state should sell for s-rrrce pur- poses any butt from an untested dam.
 5. We believe every dairy herd in Connecticut can be improved by the breeding of cows of better dairy inheritance.
 6. We believe the pure bred scrub is a menace to the dairyins world, and that performance is as essential as pedigree.
 z. We believe the future of dairy breeding in the state depends or the number of pure bred herds and of good grade herds with pure sires that can be estabishedl 6. We believe that public and private sales should be based on proved merits of the animals, and that the methods of the one-time horse trader" should be discoun tenanced by every breeder. 9. We believe that the day of the grade bull is past and that no bull
 should stand for public service unless his two nearest dams have been tested and exceeded the off
 cial requirements for their age by at least twenty per cent.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Auditorium.

The Charming Widow. very clever musical comedy, was the offering yes terday at the Auditorium, by The Un- cle Sam's Bellies Company, and met with the uproarious approval of two houses to standing room only. It is without question the acme of hilarity and kept the audience at a high pitch of laugh pressure during the per- formance. Credit is due Jack Van who as lazy. a funny Hebrew, shot over plenty of good laughs. Joe Bar ret and Phil Hart. both were clever, and Elenore Hile received encores over her song numbers. There is a pretty chorus who can both sing and dance. and looked stunning in their new. bright costumes, which added charm to the settings. Miss Helen Hampton. who handled the prima donna role was a decided hit. She has a beautiful contralto voice and used it with good judgment. As an extra attraction William Farnum.
 A surprising story is Tinsel, the new World Picture. which comes today to the Auditorium theatre, with Kitty Gordon as the star. and with a bril- liant cast including Muriel Ostriche and Frank Mayo.
 Tinsel Is the story of a mother and daJtyhter-the mother a brilliant hrainy woman who knows the world and the men who inhabit it. The daughter. on the other hand. is a shy, unsophisticated girl, who knows little about the world or its wicked ness.
 The daughter Is introduced to the world by her mother. and she learns many things.
 All the things she learns and the results that come from this knowl- edre are absorbingly told in this bril- liant story You will enjoy this pho- toplay. See it.

The chief difference in composition at different stages is in the amount of sugar. If cut for silage when the amount of sugar is greatest, the re- suit will be silage containing too much acid. which is not so palatable to stock. In case the corn is caught by frost before it is properly ma tured for cutting, it should be har- vested at once before it has time to dry out to any great extent Enough water should be added to replace that lost by evaporation through standing in the field after frosting. In general a frost is not so great a risk as en- sling the corn while it is too green. One can afford to wait until the corn is nearly mature before placing it in the silo.-W. A. Rhea, Extension
 Dairyman, Connecticut Agricultural College.

WAIT UNTIL THE CORN IS DEADY

There is nearly always a tendency to cut corn a little too soon or a little
 too green. Corn is a little late this season and some will recall the un- usually early frost last year. These two facts will no doubt, increase the tendency to harvest early. The New York Experiment Station has shown that corn increases in food value as 1t natures. The protein and carbo- hydrates especially undergo changes that increase their food value up to the time of maturity. The subjoined table affords some idea of the chem lcal changes that take place during me growth of the corn plant. All

WEEDS HARBoR INSECT PESTS


 The gardener is told to keep the weeds out of his garden because they interfere with the growth of his plants. It. was easy for him to see the reason for this early in the sea- son when his plants were young and small and in danger of being crowded out by the faster growing weeds. Garden crops have now nearly at tained their growth and the gardener may think them able to take care of themselves and allow the weeds to grow unmolested
 After early crops are harvested, the ground soon becomes a luxuriant bed of weeds and as these may not seem to interfere with vegetables in other parts of the plot, the gardener may not trouble to check them. There are many reasons why weeds should not | be allowed in the garden at any time of the year. One of the reasons why they should not be tolerated in late summer is because they tend to in crease the insects which the gar dener must fight
 Some of the worst garden insects rely on grasses and weeds upon which l to live in the late summer The l dreaded cutworm lays it's eggs on the ! bases of grass stems during July ahd August and the wound caterpillars which hatch from these eggs live upon 1 the roots, becoming half grown by fall. They then go deeper into the soil to pass the winter If the gar den is allowed to grow up to grass in late summer, cutworms will find an ideal place in which to thrive and will be on hand next spring to attack the first garden crops.
 Other insects lay their eggs on weeds and grasses some waiting un- til spring before matching, when they feed upon weeds until the garden crops appear.
 A good gardener must take every ] possible advantage in h1s fight with ! the insect enemy. Now is the time to start the campaign for next year Keep the weeds and grasses out of the l garden and thereby reduce the breed ing places for garden insects.-J. A Manter, Department of Entomology Connecticut Agricultural College.
