The end Of the war takes the public mind off prob

past and almost to the exclusion of everything else since
January nearly two years ago. when like bolt out of the
clear sky came the flash from Berlin of change in Ps
sian plans which made war with us unacceptable.
But now to quote the British premier, we have come
out of the long dark tunnel into the sunlight of peace and
victory with many and varied domestic problems to solve
in the course Of our work of reconstruction and readust

to absorb more than the ordinary attention We have been
giving to our elections

That business is going to continue

some change and some rather unus-

PREPARING GREEN
 FEED FOR POULTRY

If the poultry yard is fairly large it can be divided into two parts and green crops. such as oats. wheat rye or dwarf Essex rape, allowed to start in one yard while the hens are con- fined to the other. The green crops should be sown very thick, and the following quantities will be found satisfactory for yard 25 by 30 feet; Wheat, 3-4 pounds; oats, 1-2 pounds; rye, 1-4 pounds, rape ounces When the growing stuff reaches a height of two or three in- ches the hens can be turned upon it and the other yard be similarly sown.
 When it is inadvisable to divide the yard, it is possible to keep a sup ply of green stuff growing bv using a wooden frame two or three inches high, covered with one-inch mesh wire. A frame made of two by four lumber, six feet long and three feet wide, with an additional piece across the center to support the wire when the hens stand on it will be found desirable Tor a small yard. part of the yard as large as this frame is spaded up and sown, the frame placed over it, and the maferia; allowed to grow. As soon as the green sprouts reach the wire the hens will begin to pick them eff, but s1nce they cannot eat them down 10 the roots the sprouts will continue 10 crow and supply green material. This frame can be moved from place to place in the yard, and in this way different parts cultivated.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

feed, which may more properly be labeled "cottonseed meal and hulls," is generally recognized as a mixture of cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls, containing less than 36 per cent protein. If to- cottonseed meal, as de- fined above. cottonseed hulls are add ed, the mixture cannot be labeled as cottonseed meal. under the terms of the federal food and drugs act and the food laws of many states.
 Buyers should distinguish carefully between cottonseed meal and cotton seed feed, according to officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. While cot tonseed feed containing reasonable quantity of cottonseed meal is a good feed, the hulls have very low feeding value as compared with the meal. The mixture having less food value should sell for a less price than cottonseed meal. Buyers in many instances fail ing to distinguish between cottonseed meal and cottonseed feed have paid as much, or nearly as much, for the feed as for the meal. This has been the case especially when the manufac- turer of cottonseed feed has sold it under the designation "cottonseed feed meal.''

BREED THEATRE.

In Judgment Of. starring Anna Q. NilEeon and Franklyn Farnum, sup ported bv an all star cast of popular players headed by Herbert Standing, will bc the attraction at the Breed theatre today and Thursday. The story Is from the pen of George D. Baker. and the able direction is the work Of Will s. Davis. It is a tense drama. strong in it's appeal to the emotions and carries an unusual theme. Miss Nilsson plays the role of Mary Manners, daughter of a political dictator whose strange gift of tele- pathy is the means of saving her sweetheart, wrongly accused of mur- der. from paying the death penalty of another's crime. The ever popular Franklyn Farnum is cast for a part particularly suited to his dominant personality, and is seen as the young lawyer whose parentagc has been shrouded in mystery and who is ac- cused of a crime he did not commit. Pearl White in The House of Hate. a new Mack Sennett comedy. and the Burton Holmes travel series make up the remainder of the bill for today and Thursday.

STOMACH WORMS IN SHEEP.
 Pv p q Holden

by r. q. Holden.
 In q recent article I described the symptoms of stomach worms in sheep and outlined few preventive meas ures, promising to glve in a later ar ticie some treatments for worms These treatments follow:
 Blue VtroI.
 Dissolve one ounce of blue vitrol t,l one gallon of water Do this by put ting the vitrol in a sack and hanging it in the water.-it will not dissolve in the bottom of a vessel Give this mixture in doses of from two ounces for lambs to three ounces for older sheep after keeping them away from grass Or feed overnight to allow the stomach to empty. Repeat the dose in ten days. Keep the mixture well stirred so the the last doses will not be too strong. Carelessness in m~ing or giving this treatment is danger ous.
 Coal Tar Sheep Dig.
 Mix sheep dip the same strength as for dipping for ticks and give doses from three ounces for lambs to four ounces for older sheep. Keep the sheep off feed overnight or Is hours, before giving the dir. and repeat in 10 days
 Gasoline.
 Mix one tablespoon of gasoline in five ounces of milk for lambs and one and one-half tablespoons of gasoline to five ounces of milk for older sheep. Keep the sheep off feed overnight be- tore giving treatment. Repeat in 10 days.
 Mix each dose separately. Be care ful not to get too much gasoline. Shake every dose well to mix the gas oline with the milk
 Some good sheep men give the gas cline treatment three days in success sion, each time fasting the sheep over- night before giving the dose then re- beating in 10 days. This can be done with both the blue vitrol and sheen dips and makes cure all the more certain.
 Ewes can be dosed while in lamb If they are carefully handled. After sheep or laHlbs have been treated put them on fresh pasture. Never lay a sheep on it's rump or side to drench it. Always allow it to stand.
 Be Careful in Drenching.
 The safe way is to back the sheep into a corner and stand astIide of 1t Every farmer should have a drenching A IS0-SIZ6Q SVrlng6 VIII do for cattle. horses, or sheep.
 A long-nec1ed bottle will do. but there is danger of strangling the sheer by pouring too much into the throat al once.
 Don't hold the sheep's nose too high Put the left hand under the jaw and hold the nose very little higher than | level; run the syringe or bottle back into the mouth, but not far enough te pour the dose directly into the throat
 There is no trouble in getting 9 sheep to swallow Make three swal- lows out of 6 dose by pouring about one-third of it into the back of the mouth at a time and stopping long 1 enough between times for the sheer to swallow, keeping the syringe or bot tNe in the mouth.
 There is great danger of strangula ton if the head is held too high or toe ] large dose given at once. 1 Although it is not definitely known l experience indicates that stomach 1 worms do not five over winter in pas lures. This gives a chance to get riG | of worms in all the sheep during the winter and start clean in the spring.

FORAGE CROPS FOR HOGS.

Throughout the south and west for age crops are used quite extensively as feed for hogs, and are found to be very profitable This was true when prices of feed and labor were normal and, of course. it is strillingly so with advanced feed prices and a scarcity of labor
 In New England it is believed swine growers can profitably make more use of forage feeds Suitable crops can be grown here and may be used to great advantage as has been demon strated this year by Carl Sharpe in charge of Hayland farm at Milford. MT Sharpe is cooperating with the New Haven county farm bureau and the Connecticut Agricultural college in securing records on the use of forage crops for swine in this state.
 On the 18th of May he placed 15 mature Duroc-Jersey sows on one acre of clover, in fair condition. where they were kept until the 20th of June. Dur ing this time they received one pound of middlings each per day. At the end of this period they were shifted to an acre of clover, then to an acre of oats and peas mixed, and later to an acre of alfalfa which had been cut the second time. They were kept on these three lots from June 2Oth until Aug. 3oth, receiving no grain at all during the entire time These sows were in excellent condition all the while. which makes it evident that mature animals can maintain themselves on forage crops alone. The use of small amount of grain. however, would add variety to the ration and make it pos sible to graze crops longer
 For growing or fattening animals 1t is necessary to supplement the forage crops with limited grain ration. These crops should not be expected to replace all of the grain, but they will replace a good part of it. In addi- ton to decreasing feed cost the ami mals are kept vigorous and healthy through exercise and succulent feed. when managed in this way, the ma nure, which is an item to be consid cred is uniformly distributed over the fields without labor and without waste
 The hog is naturally a grazing anil
 nal and does best when allowed the run of forage crop or pasture This being true, less grain and more forage should be used for economical pork production. Rape, oats, peas, rye, al- aflfa, clover and soy beans make ex- cellent forage crops and all can be successfully grown in Connecticut For best results, plan now a suitable rota- ton of some of these crops. Outlines Of such rotations are available and may be had upon application to the extension department at Storrs-C1or necticut Agricultural College. D. G Suntns, Agent in Animal Husbandry.
