STORRS HENS SHORT
 OF LAST YEARS RECORD

With but three weeks to go, it now seems certain that the hens in the lay ing contest at lStorrs will be unable to reach the record which they establish
 ed in the sixth laying contest, for they
 are at the present time 6,0T9 eggs be- hind the corresponding week for last year. The total production for the
 week was 2,160 eggs or 90.9 per cent. This is a decrease of 225 eggs rom the corresponding week for last year. Pen 53, Oregons, was first for the week with a production of 45 eggs. Pen 5,
 Barred Rocks, entered by Richard All len of Pittsfield, Mass, was second with A eggs. Pen 20, White Wyan-- dottes, belonging to Obed G. Knight, | Bridgeton, R. l., was third with Az eggs Pen 21, White Wyandottes, en- tered by Brayman Farm, Westville, N. H., and Pen 81, White Leghorns, en- tered by J. Frank Dubois, East Lynn,
 Mass, were tied for fourth place with | fl eggs. Pen S2, White Leghorns, be- | longing to Clifford I. Stoddard, Wood | bridge Conn, was fifth with 40 eggs. Now is the time to clean and prepare | the poultry houses for winter use. A 1 fall house cleaning is necessary in or i der to have sanitary quarters for the bullets anl breeding stock during the winter Unlike the summer conditions
 the birds will spend most of their i time in the houses during the next five
 CT six months. Thus it is important that they be given as nearly as possi- ble ideal environment ter the drop | pings and all the aterial have been cleaned, the pc houses should
 be sprayed (more esl.,r lily around the dropping boards, nests and roosts) with some good insecticide Any of the following insecticides may be used
 as a remely for controlling both disease
 germs and poultry mites: Carbolineum zenoleum CT kerosene oil and crude carbolic acid combined. In mixing the
 kerosene oil and crude carbolic acid
 it is well to use one quart of crude carbolic acid to four quarts of kero-
 sene oil. This can be applied with
 the brush or spray pump. For the poultryman who has but a small mum , Der of hens, perhaps carbolineum, be
 cause of it's lasting bowen in destroy ing poultry mites, would be the cheap est insecticide ito purchase. Any O. ; the above insecticides can be pur chased at the drug stores.

Western Soldiers Ruooed.

The "early to bed and early to rise"
slogan is noticeable on the faces Of
the boys in khaki who are arriving
here from the West and other parts Of
the country. These youths are GER
tainly typical Of the real American.
Health, Drawn and muscle are their
principal characteristics and with all
this there Is certain amount Of chiv-
airy that is not seen in New York.
The average New Yorker is pale in
dividual. Indoor work. OF course, is
responsible for this and he always is
In such hurry that he thinks Of no
one but himself. Some Of the New
York youths marvel at the appearance
Of these visitors from the West. They
cannot understand why they should be
30 ruddy. The explanation is easy.
1t Is because they spend more time in
the open. Nevertheless the appearance
of the boys from other parts Of the
country is causing II kinds of jeal-
ousy.-New York Times.

Your grocer has the lemons and
any drug store or toilet counter will
supply you with three ounces Of or
chard white for few cents Squeeze
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle, then put in the orchard and
shake well. This makes a quarter
pint of the very best lemon skin

how freckles, tan, sallowness, red
ness and roughness disappear and

RISES IN DEFENSE OF DOG
Toronto Newspaper Man Vigorously
Condemns silly Proposal That
They Be Killed or In Wartime.

A wrathful correspondent OF tbs
Mail and Empire suggests that dops
ought to be killed Off In wartime or
else such stiff tax imposed upon
their owners as greatly to reduce the
dog population. Similar views have
oeen expressed since the war in Eng
land. Only the other day Lord Claud
Hamilton said that pet dogs are a
nuisance and that II he had his way
ne would slaughter all the Pekingese
dogs In the country and have them
made into meat pies" Not long ago
Punch presented q picture Of q tough
looking citizen grooming an equally
tough-loOking bull terrier, while a Gu
rate addressed him as follows: "Don't
you think, my good man, that in war
time you would be better employed In
keeping q useful animal, a pig, for
Instance" "Yus," growled the dog
fancier, "and a nice fool I'd look
goin' rattin' with a pig" Proposals to
| destroy dogs are founded rather on
personal prejudice or ignorance than
en- consideration Of the advantage
10 he gained by their determination.
The assertion that they consume much
food that might better be converted
to human use is not justified. As a
rule dogs live on table scraps and odds
and ends Of food which would other
wise be wasted. AS for the Hamilton
suggestion about making Pekes into
meat pies. 1t is probable that all the
I'ekes In the British isles would not
provide single enjoyable meal for
one battalion.
1t is true that dogs frequently kill
sheep. but they also kill cats and rats
and thus help to square the account.
In thousands Of farmhouses they con-
stitute an invaluable guard for the
women folk. They even do such chores
an driving up the cows, churnIng the
milk. fetching and carrying and per
forming other services that make
amends for the undeniable fact that
they get their hair on the furniture
and come into the kitchen with muddy
paws. At the front they are doing war
work Of undeniable value. In Belgium
they are beasts Of burden. They carry
messages from the trenches to head
quarters In the rear. They guard
against enemy raids; they locate the
wounded lying in No Mans Land, and
are real pal to many thousands Of
homesick soldiers. A proposal to abol-
lsh dogs Is about as sensible as pro-
posal 10 abolish nephews. and has
anout as much chance Of succeeding

Brltaln,s indiana.

The Indians In the British army on
the western front, notably the Sikhs,
that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM
mon with the American red men. They
come from the other side Of the earth !;
they are sons Of a deeply religious
sect. and for so years or more have
been an important factor in the Brit
ish dominion Of the far East.
They are tall. well-built, handsome
men. most Of them with boards, and
In perfection of drill and military bear
Ing they are not eIcelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods Of fighting
are quite dissimilar. the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma.
chine while the American Indian Is a
hexible unit, there is one thing in
which they are very much alike. AS a
humorous English writer-Punch and
Its punsters still live-puts It.:
81 have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians OF the East and the
Indians Of the West, and while they
are very dlssimilar In most things,
when 1t comes to courage, I may be
excused for saying that It Is Sikhs Of
one and a half dozen Of the other"

With Husband Disabled by Broken
Log She Employed Unique Signal
to Bring Help That Might
Save Him.

The following would be almost nm.
Dellevable If the facts were not the

not substantiated by the various par

miles from Islesboro, Is q little island
known as Mark island, owned by Pres.
ton Player. State street broker of
Boston, and he there maintains q big
summer place. The keeper Is Ralph
Collamore Of Lincolnville, who In the
winter. with his wife and two children.
makes his home on the island in a III.
tie cottage.
On Wednesday, January %, he took
the boat and started for Islesboro.
Ihree hours were taken In making
the trip OF three miles by water, He
came back and upon landing and pull
Ing the boat up onto the shore ON
Mark island he pulled the boat over
onto him. pinning him down and break
Ing his leg. His wife kept looking for
her husbands return and finally, at
tracted by his groans, found him
pinned under the boat. She is a frail
woman but with him hanging onto his
injured limb, she managed to drag him
up to the cottage. There with the aid
OF leather wallet and sticks she get
the leg the best she could. There they
were practically isolated and help was
needed badly.

ana put on also q red light. The
'ights were run all day Thursday and
not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon
was the light noticed at Dark Harbor.
Telephone calls were sent to the naval
station and the tug ZizanIa started to
Dark Harbor to see what was the
trouble. Dark Harbor was reached
hbout 9:3O Thursday night. There no
one knew what was the trouble at
Mark island. The Zizania cut her way
through the ice, in some places 8 and
lO inches thick, for three miles to the
island. Captain Sherman and nine
men went ashore. They made their
way to the lighted house and there
round no one. Cropping along in the
darkness they were frightened by the
sudden uprising Of flock Of turkeys
from tree. Then they came upon
the cottage in total darkness with the
door open but no signs Of life about.
Going In they found the courageous
little woman asleep, the injured man
half asleep and both children slumber.
