Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the

can do it without stnting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just good
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t has given corn in such bounty
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Ow. Food-Cornl It is the true American

ORDERING FRUIT TREES.
Should Be Done As Early As It |: Possible.

Planting fruit trees may seem rath- CT out of order these cold winter days, but if you have already provided your self with two. or three highly illus trated nurserymen's catalogs, it may not seem as unreasonable. Perhaps you made a New Years resolution to plant a few trees, an acre. or perhaps several acres. If you did, then yoa should put in considerable time study
 ing the subject of varieties to plant,
 age of trees to buy and from which
 nursey firm to order.
 The subject of varieties brings up the question which the prospective planter often answers for himself: are you planting for a home orchard, for a local market or as commercial proposition If for a. home orchard then select varieties of high quality and those of which you or your fam fly are especially fond: If for a loca
 market, plant good varieties and those | which do well and are called for ir your section. 8 strictly commercial or.
 chard will have but very few varl- l eties, these to be ones which are
 known to grow and bear well in the section where you are located. Plant. ing new or untried varieties on large

SELECTING BREEDING PENS.
For Early Matching, Pens Should Be
 Selected This Week.

Poultry keepers who plan to make 8 profit in their business the coming year must hatch chickens early This means that eggs for matching must be available February 15 and in order ito obtain them properly fertilized, breeding pens should be mated this week.
 The best combination fer gcod llatches, high vitality and livability in chickens is carefully selected late moltinS hens mated with vigorous early matched cockerels from high producing hens. This year poultry keepers. because of high prices of grain and the uncertainty of securing it, have disposed of a larger per centage of yearling hens than usual and because yearling hens do not lay well in February. it is going to be necessary to breed from bullets il many early matched chickens are. se- cured. Leghorn bullets which are matched in April and bullets of the general purpose breeds, matched be- fore the first of April, that have re- ceived good care, which have beer kept in sanitary conditions, and have not been fed too heavily, will give very satisfactory results as breeders although this is not a practice to bt recommended under ordinary condi- tions and for more than one year 1T long period of time.
 When bullets are used for breeder! they must be large size for the breed fully matured, and have a good record of fall egg production behind them In order to insure as large size a; possible in the chickens. they should
 be. mated to cook birds. if possible, O very early matched large sized full, matured cockerels. High grade vigor l ous cockerels. and this is the onl. I kind that should ever be used, may b. ! mated in the case of Leghorns wit l IS to 25 females and in the case 0 | heavier breeds F to 20 females Cocl I birds. being less active, are not likel
 10 give good fertility in the eggs 1 if mated to more than 15 in the cas ] of the Leghorns and 10 or 12 of tn 1 heavier breeds
 If birds are kept in large flocks 1 the number of females to each nal should be reduced to the minimum
 number mentioned above, becaus
 some of the males may be almos
 useless when in the company of other that drive them.
 i Owners of large flocks find that it 1 entirely practical to have a larg
 breeding pen with several male bird
 running together, although it is prob
 able. that where best results are to b obtained it is best to keep smalle pens.
 Every breeder who desires to in
 prove his flock each year should pic | out at least one pen of the very Iates molting birds and mate them with tn 1 male bird who is known to. be the so of hen producing more than %
 eggs and the chickens from this pc
 should be marked so that the cock
 erels may be used for breeding tl following year

Careless Use of Soap
 SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkalL This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can, use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply noisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandrJiff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves he scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy 10 manage. ii sAs,

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

scale is a practice not to be recom- mended.
 The size and the age of the tree is much disputed point. But in gener- val, the two year old, medium sized tree is to be preferred. Such trees will stand the shock of moving with more hardihood than an older tree.
 Some growers use the one year old
 tree and feel that they can adapt it's future branch development to their
 own ideas, much more easily than they can two year old tree. Peach trees should always be of the one year old grade.
 Orders for trees should be placed as soon as possible for the stock of some varieties is short this season and there is a much better chance of securing the varieties wanted if the order is placed at once. When send | ing an order do not fail to give com plete shipping directions, as to wheth- CT freight or express, name of station and when you wish the trees ship ped.
 Where shall one buy his fruit treesi Are southern grown trees safe to plant here in Conheoeicut? Is it bet l ter to get trees from nearby nurser- ies? These questions may be ans | wered in this way: 1t seems to make no difference where the young tree
 was grown as long as it reaches the
 planter in good condition. The tend
 ency has been to purchase trees where
 the best prices could be secured quality being the same. But this seA
 son we should deal with nearby relia 1 ble firms, thus relieving the transpor 1 tation situation to that extent.
 1 Don't buy cheap trees just becaus' they are low in price, planting an or chard is long time investment ant a few cents saved on the price of
 tree may mean the loss of hundred of dollars later on if such cheap tree should turn out to be untrue to name Deal direct with the nursery firm, d not deal with an agent you are unac lquainted with.

 To meet these conditions he had to market most Of his early crops at little or no profit, and in some cases at a loss. Unusual ways of marketing the crops by roadside stores and stands were devised. Some crops were left to go to seed to decrease the loss and relieve the glutted market, and some few were plowed up. A certain grower fed this summer cabbages to his pigs as the most profitable way of disposing of his crop. From mid summer on the conditions were bet ter, and helped pull the growers through. It is. safe to say that no farmer became wealthy and most were glad to close the season with a req sonable small profit, or to break even. The farmer today is better edu- cated man than his father at the time of the civil war. The agricultural colleges and experiment stations and the U. s. Department of Agriculture have helped to bring this about. Therefore he demands more benefits for his work than formerly. Like the Japanese he has awakened to the ad- vantages of education and progress and like them he is going to get these as an individual or through organiza tion. What he wants of the govern ment and the public at present are: 1 1st. A dependable. sufficient and profitable labor supply, i End. A market for his crop that is fairly reliable, so that he can dispose 1 of all he is asked to produce.
 3rd. A reasonable profit so that he and his can enjoy their share of the
 advantages of modern civilization.
 4th. A place in the political, busi I ness, and social world commensurate
 with the importance of his calling.
 Yes, he does frequently ride around
 in an automobile, and also drives
 truck, but he does these partly becaas,
 he has become an educated business
 man and finds that he can no longe, l afford to sport a horse and buggy. O.

HENS AT sToRRs
 MAKING UP FOR LOSSES
Mild Weather Helps to Reaain Fifty Per Cent. of the Slump at Storrs.

The mild weather of the past week has. enabled the. birds in the laying Contest at Storrs to regain about 50 per cent. of the loss in egg produc- ton which was sustained during the recent cold spell. During the eleventh week the total production amounted to 15S1 eggs, which was 203 eggs more than in the preceding week. The indications are that it will take at least another week for the birds to get back to the level of production which they originally obtained. A. P. Rob insoa's pen of White Jeghorns from Calverton N. T.. were again in first place with a yield of 49 eggs, which exceeds by one egg the previous high record made by a pen of Oregons in the fourth week. It is perhaps par ticularly creditable that a pen of Leg horns should establish a new high rec ord at this time. Second place for the week was won by 6 pen of White Wyandottes belonging to F. W. Tar ris of Melrose, N. Y.,. with yield of 42 eggs. The pen was closely follow ed by Obed C. Knights White Wyan- dottes from Bridgeton, R. l., with a total of 39 eggs.
 Beginning January 22nd, the poultry department of the Connecticut Agri- cultural college will. offer ten day course in poultry husbandry. The sub 5ect which will receive chief consid- eraticS during the ten days is that ot poultry feeding, inasmuch afs the feed problem is at the present time the most important one for the poultry man to solve. This course is not de- signed for the novice who wishes to start a small flock but rather for the commercial poultryman who is look ing for assistance in handling his par ticular problem. It is hoped that 2 large number will avail themselves ot the opportunity to attend this specia poultry course. The three best pens in each of tht principal varieties are as follows:

CROPS FOR 1s17.,
Value and Rank of the Eastern States
 of Products For the Past Year.

Washington, Jan. p. 1s1S-Hlinois is the banner farm crop state. Value os her crops last year exceeded that of Texas which carried away the honor in 1916. Iowa's crops also ex- ceeded in value those of Texas last year, placing the Lone Star state in third position. Iowa was in third place in 1916, with Illinois second.
 The vast sum of SIS ,5S0, 76S 900 rep resents the value of all farm crops in the United States in 1917 as estimated by the Department of Agriculture. That compares with $S,9S5, ,S70,0 900 in 1916 and s6,29S, 220, 900, the average for the five years, 1911-15. Corn, with value of .$4, ,05S, ,672, 900, is the king of crops. Cotton is second with value of $1,517, 7,55S,000. Other billion dollar crops in 1917 were: Wheat, $1,307, ,427 600; hay, $1,S59, ,491, . COG, and oats, fl, 1,061, APT, 900.

Does It Pay to Grow Grain,

we have been doing more of a
 manufacturing business than real farming, depending as We have upon
 the west for our grain feeds. So long as western feeds remained cheap enough, this system was all right, but 1t lacked the most fundamental basis of permanence; that is, an adequate area of fertile soil. and now that west ern feeds are no longer cheap, a read justment of the business is inevitable.
 "The situation isn't as bad as if New England farmers couldn't grow grain. They can when the price war rants it. Massachusetts, for example, used to grow, back in 1S45, 9D,O00 acres of corn as compared with the present 47,000 and 42,0Oo acres of rye as compared with ths present 5000. It is all matter of whether it paws or not. If one cannot afford to buy grain doesn't it follow that one can afford to grow it, assuming that one has the necessary lands ?"-New Eng land Homestead.

Weak, Worn Out, Classy, Sour Stom- ach Revived and Made to Enjoy Food With Stuart's Dyspepsia
 TahleSs

Most of us eat ttree times a day and often forget that each. meal should be disposed of in the stom- ach to make room for the next Tha failure of the stomach to do this is called indigestion or dyspepsia, with it's sour risings, gas, rumblings, pain, depression and the feeling of stiffness when breathing is difficult
 The most effective remedy and the most reliable one, because you can get it at any drug store in the United States or Canada, is Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, at 90 cents a box. In- stead of depriving yourself of food or going on a starvation diet simply keep on as you have and let these tablets straighten out your stomach, digest the food and keep you in the fight.
