LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Daylight Saving

Nov. 6, 1919. To the Editor of The News:
 We'll the law makers at Washing ton have finally, by the wishes of the people, annulled the daylight saving law so-called. am mighty sure that most folks are glad it has gone a glimmering. It surely did not benefit anyone or anything one iota, and it was surely a piece of the biggest fool legislation ever enacted in Washington or any other place.
 When I was boy, 50 or 60 years ago, was proud of my country, and boy could say truly then, America is the freest best country on earth, but the older l grow the less free it seems to me. In those days back of the Civil War q was born in 1848) and after the war this was really the freest and best country on the globe. In those days boy or man could fish in any lake or river. He could hunt or trap at any time. We had never heard of any fish or game laws, and berrying and nutting was the same way then, for the people were not so avaricious and selfish then. But when they tell us what we must eat and drink, what we must raise on our land, that we must turn our clocks back one hour, tell us what time we must go to bed and what time we must get up it does not look very free to me-. The people are too crazy to get money. Politics is just a skin game to get all they can out of the people in the easiest way they can. .. Now l, by gum, must tell you that I consider this whole world is just a grab game and the one that gets the most is the best fellow. Ha! Ha!

Several Connecticut Mayors re- gently met in Hartford to discuss plans for daylight saving in, this state next year and in all probability will petition the legislature to take such action as will make it possible tO continue this war emergency plan. The interest of these mayors h daylight saving is the more con- spicuous because of the absolute failure of either state or city officials to unite. in waging campaign against the high cost of living. Con serted action in this direction would produce results that would meet with general satisfaction.

cuLktNa THE FLOCK.

Cullinx Of the elaclsnr hens should be conttAu6us throughout the year
 It ahouid consist of weedinx out when thin or smaciat4d. Or which shows evi. ds71co of nonprcduction. weakness O. Ipocr vitality. The entire flock should be given careful and systematic in- Iipreferably several times. The hens Should be handled individually and gone over carefully with the object Iof separating the workers from the Ishirkers.. From the class of better las anx of the best as will be needed tfor .ubsequent breeding These hens should be banded or otherwise M saved fcr hatcninE purposea. I me s Lihfexior fowls should be marketed as soon as pcssible.
 E When q single systematic cu11fng lis made: ss the best time for such work Is tasitr fo form close estimate of l the value of the hen as an egg pro Educer a9 well as t6 weed out the un- l lproftAble birds. Hens which show indications of laying at this time are those which, on the average, have sbeon the better producers for the Eyear,. 1t must be remembered. also, that the better producers during the first laying year are those which will bc the superior yielders in the sub lssequent years.
 1, Hens showing indications of hay ing been geod producers throughout the year should be retained fer tine
 relatively few hens will prove to be
 prof1tabie producers beyond their sec
 end laying year if they are of the heavier breeds. such as the Plymouth
 Rock Rhode Island Red. Wyandote,
 or ofpinston: or beyond their. third
 laying year if they are of the lighter
 breeds, such as the Leghorn. Addi
 tionaf cu11ing during July is also de-
 sirabie in order to eliminate hens
 which have started to mott and have
 stopped laying.
 , In culling the flock. remember that Eft is safer to depend upon the agree ment of combination of several than te select by any one alone. With this in mind. cull hens that are sick. weak. lacking in vixor, inactive. poor eaters. melted or hard, dull colofed combs: with small, puekered, hard. dry vents; with thick CT coarse, stieff pelvic bones. pelvic bones close together, small spread be- tween pelvic bones and rear end Of keel, and full. hard. small abdomen. In breeds with yellow skin and slianks the discarded hens should also show yellow or medium yellow shahks and yellow beaxs.
 Save hehs that are healthy. strong vigorous, alert and active: good eat CTS; not melting Or just beginning to large, most vents; with large, bright, red combs: thin. p1iab1e pelvic bones well spread apart. wide spread be- tween pelvic bones and rear end Of keel, aiid large. soft, pliable abdomen: In breeds With yellow skins and shahks, the hens saved should also show pa1e or white shdnks and pale or white peaks aiid vents.

THE LEeumE SEED.

Farmers are undecided in many sec tioIis IS to the best method of inoclI- latins legume seed. Several n1ethc5s S are advocated ard agents for com n cial cultures spread their nrepa : ga SIa so that it is difficult to deter mine which snethod is most satisfac- tory from the standpoint Of economy and crop production.
 f. Fl, Gaskill. county agent iil Es- sex county, Mass. reports as follows:
 In Exxes county the inocu1a tiol of seed with the soil and glue method has proved much more satisfactory than the culture method, especially with soy beane.. where it has been nearly 100 per cent effective. By dampenins 2 furniture glue and stirring. in some dry soil containing the bacteria de- sired, each seed is coated with the soil. This method is not expensive and puts the bacteria in the ground near the roots where it gets start at once. The ethod used is as fol- lows: Soil is secured from around the roots of plants that are sure to De we'll covered witl nedu1es. The sofi is place away from direct sunlight which mgiht kill the bacteria.
 The furniture glue is dissolved in het water at. the rate. of two hand fuls per. gallon of water. Allow this to cool and sprinkle the seeds with the solution. using about one quart per bushei of seed. Stir seeds until dirt into the seed. using three or four quartes of soil per bushel or enough to coat thoroughly each seed with the soil.

FOOD NEEpS OF AkIMAkS
 DIFFER WITH THEIR WORK

The primary functions of food are to repair the waste of the body, to promote growth in ifninatu ami malls and to furnish heat and energy. And for these purposes enly the di- sestible portion Of the food is to .5e taken into account. The amount ds digestible protein fat and carb6- hydrates in a ration is an indication of its fitness to fulfill zfysse pir- poses. The next question is: How much of these materials does aIi nrii- nal realiire, and in what proportion should they be given? This d.ffers with the purpose for which ilis ami nal is kept, whether. it is frowii,g, being fattened; used for storl1 oI. making milk. An animal stahIlng in the stall requires less food nutri- ents than one which is worked hard every day. That is. in drawins heavy loads the animal breaks down Or consumes a certain amount of mus. cular tissue, which must he replaced by protein in the f6ed, and it uses energy or force which $ also fur nished bY the food nutrients. In standing iii the barn 1t stiff requires some protein, fat and carbohydrates to perform the necessary functions of the hody to maintain heat in winter. to grow a new coat Of hair etc. Bnt if it is Ted fhe same ration as when working hard. the tendency is to get fat or waste the food.
