the proper growing of the youngsters.
1t is question whether 1t is az neces-
sary in caring for the adult or laying
hens. For two years past experiments
have shown that the benefits OF succu-
lent feeding can be largely accom-
plished in another way. Probably the
greatest advantage of feeding succu-
lence to hens Is the fact that 1t main-
tains the bowels in loose, active con-
dition. We can readily appreciate that

GUS by-prodscrs the bowels must be
kept in an active condition. We know
that with a normal flock of poultry
kept on bare yards and fed dry mash
and dry grain the droppings become
hard and production is not what 1t
should be; if we provide these birds
with large quantities of green food we
get a pronounced laxative effect and
increased consumption of food. What
we have done in our experimental
work is to correct this need for a laxa-

the results of these studies we lay
down the following rule for fall and
winter feeding of layers: Give EPSON
salts in the drinking water every two
weeks or oftener If the droppings be-

each 100 birds. The EPSON salts can
be dissolved II the drinking water and
kept before the birds for one complete
day. Not only will this practice keep
the birds in better physical condition.

likewise make them more resistant to
chicken pox, roup and canker and
other diseases which are quite prev
alent at certain winter seasons.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING.

Do not wait until friends die to send
them flowers. Flowers are a great
pleasure and comfort to the living,
whom they do not benefit after death.
When friends are confined to their
homes send them flowers; when they
are not obliged to stay at home, also
send them flowers.
Don Marquis expressed his senti-
ments In the verse below. from the
Sun Dial. in THE EVENING SUN:

She toiled in dismal factory all day
Making artificial flowers
Sometimes she would pause in her te-
dious work
To conjure up fields and meadows
Where real flowers shed their fra

And she would grow wistful and sick al

One day she became morose and hypo-
chondriac
Smelling artificial flowers,
And she committed suicide!
When they buried her -
They brought her beautiful bouquets OF
flowers:

SAND FATAL TO HOGS.

It cost a Nebraska farmer $1,000
to learn that hogs must be supplied
with mineral matter.
Hogs to this value were kept in
feeding pens where they were neither
supplied mineral foods nor given an
opportunity to range for them. One
day a wagonload of sand was dumped
into the pens to be used in repair
work. Shortly after, the animals were
discovered dead. and on post-mortcm
examination the large intestines were
found to be gorged with sand.
Swine growers should see to it that
their animals have access to mineral
foods. Where a considerable range Is
provided the animals are often able
70 find such foods for themselves, but
in any event it is a safe plan to give
the hogs plenty of mineral matter in
some form.
The following mixture Is recon-
mended by A. G. Skinner of the Con-
necticut Agricultural College: Three
bushels of charcoal. two quarts Of air
slaked lime, eight pounds of salt, one
bushel of wood ashes.
The mixture should be placed in q
box in the yard or pen so the animals
may have access to 1t at all times.

DOG LAW PROTECTS SHEEP.

information from Connecticut shows
that in the year ending September 80
more than 5000 dogs were killed by
dog wardens. Many were shot while
interfering with sheep. Less injury
to sheep has resulted than in any pre-
vious year, due to the roaming dog
law, which went into effect July l.
The sheep industry in Connecticut
has increased 80 Ia per cent. the past
two years and is still growing. The
State Legislature recently appropriated
$4,000 to be used by the Connecticut
Agricultural College in furthering the
sheep industry.

Of landscape gardening It is well to
have some central plan to emphasize
color or to connote past garden joys.
One of the best color arrangements Is
obtained by sticking punches Of red
sumac berries In with the white pine,
and 1 can never see the punches Of
dried pink and white hardy hydrangea
flowers massed with white pine with
out thinking of the masses OF purple
and pink hydrangeas that riot under
the pines on q certain hillside near
the Lake of Como In northern Italy.
Equally effective with the white pine
is helichrysum, those golden suns. the
Californian's straw flowers that we
call everlasting and the French i'm
mortelles. They may be had In gor-
geous yellows and dark blood reds, but
to get them with the most brilliant
tints they must be picked in summer
when the bud is just beginning to
open and dried in the shade.
The easiest landscape visions to
conjure up with our outdoor window
gardens in winter are those OF deep
woods, marshes, meadows or seashore.
Put dried marsh rosemary with the
motif and bc reminded all winter of
sea marshes. To get deep woods. have
lots of trailing evergreen with clumps
Of checkeroerries, cornell, pipsissewa
and princess pine scattered among the
pine branches. Barberries and cedar
branches or bayberries and white pine
will recall upland pastures. For
meadow effects there are countless
combinations of cottongrass. bitter
sweet, cattails, cranberries, alder ber-
ries. rose haws and clematis, any one
of which must have many summer
memories hanging about It Branches
of horse briar with its blue berries
mixed with pine have much color
value.
There are so many combinations OF
winter greenery with red or blue ber-
ries, or with dried summer flowers,
that outdoor window gardening has
almost as much variety and charm as
IN summer. One cardinal point must
DO borne in mind. The winter win
dow box exists mainly for the nature
lover behind the window and not for
the man in the street, though the lat
ter cannot help enjoying the mass Of
green or other large effects like those
OF sumac. So, in the planning of the
box, one may have many little init
mate details which, though often hid
den by the snow, exist on the other
side OF the-window alone for the gar
dener.
Personally ! should avoid using
much white with the green back
ground. White is de trop in winter,
and the only white color 1 have men,
toned is the cotton grass. and the best
variety of that is the one with silky
brown tints. 1t has stronger stems
larger heads and better color values
than the pure white.
Winter window boxes need just as
n>sch forethought as summer The
dried flowers and grasses must be coli
lected In summer. though sumac and
pine are ever at hand and Christmas
greens after house service may help
In fitting up these winter outdoor
hooks of green boughs and bright ber-
ries. All personal gardening is salts
factory work, for nature never did
leave I'm the lurch the heart that loved
her, but no form of gardening pays
such satisfactory dividends as the in
Innate. loving contact with outdoors

COUNTY TRUST co.
INCREASES INTEREST

The Addison County Trust Company
will pay IL per cent interest begin
ming October lst. This rate is guaran-
teed for the next six months. This was
the announcement made by President
John E. Weeks after the Directors
meeting held on Wednesday, Undoubt-
edly it will be good news to a large
number of Savings Bank depositors OF
Addison County, who have wished to
favor the local institution but who
hesitated to do so while they could get
larger interest in some banks elsewhere.
The new company was led to take
this advance step by the favorable
showing made in the first three months
of business. Deposits have gone above
the 100000 figure, a gain of over $1,000
day since the doors opened for bust
ness on July 1st Earnings have al
ready been sufficient to make an adj
dition to the surplus The company has
loaned over 100000 and has found a
good demand for loans on first mort
gage in Addison County. The pro-
portion of Vermont loans is very en-
couraging. The bank has bought Sl0-
600 of Liberty Bonds at a favorable
rate and has about $4,000 invested in
other prime securities.
The directors are pleased with the
number of commercial or check ac-
counts which have been opened. The
opening OF the bank for business Sat
urday afternoons and evenings has prob
ably been one cause of its popularity
in this respect.
That there was a good field for the
new financial institution has been clear
ly demonstrated and lie liberal policy
of the directors in increasing the rate of
interest is likely to give the company
still larger patronage.
