GET RID OF SCRUB SIRE;
 RAISE BETTER LIVESTOCK
By P. G. HOLDEN.

iSy | N9s 4AOI<DAI--s
 The scrub must go:
 The highest tpye of citizenship, the best homes. the best folks are found where the livestock has been the most used and the most improved The higher the tpye of citizenship, the fewer scrub animals.
 Go where you may, we well always find that when people get through robfing the soiI and begin to develop a permanent, home making agricul- ture, then we will find livestock. But breeds of livestock cannot be in- proved without the constant use of good sires.
 Because the sire Is mated to a large number of females. the selec. ton of the sire is of great i'm portance
 A good sire is one that possesses, to marked degree, the type we want in the offspring and the pre- potency to fix that type. The sireS of greatest value is not the one that sires a few exceptional ani,<tls. It is the one whose off spring are. above the average. | The sire should he pure bred. but not a pure bred with yellow streak, A sire may have a fancy pedigree, lyet be a scrub individual, poorly

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS


 distinctions between farm and fac tory;
 The manufactute of butter, cheese, dried fruits cider, vinegar, grape juice or other products may be carried on in buildings or plants operated either Q) in connection with farms or @ as independent manufacturing enter prises. In the latter case such build ; ings and plants are to be regarded as factories to be covered by the census of manufacturers and not to be in cluded in the census of agriculture. But unless it is clear that such build ings or plants are operated as a man ufacturing enterprise independent of the farm. you should include the value of such buildings with that of the farm buildings with that of the farm buildings and the value of such ma . chinery with that of the implements and machinery of the farm on which they are located; you should include as the products of the farm only the butter, cheese, dried fruits, cider, vine- gar or grape\j juice made in such estab- lishment from milk produced or crops (apples, grapes, etc.) grown on the farm. Where raw materials. other than those grown on the farm on which the plant is located, are treated. state that fact on the margin of the schedule.

PLAN FOR ICE HARVEST.

With the memory of last seasons short ice crop, it is probable that ear- Her attention will be given to the ice harvest this winter. Farmers who har- vest their own, ice are generally mak- ing plans to avoid shortage next summer.
 The United States department of agriculture gives information of vaiue relative to storage capacity required for ice. A cubic foot of ice weighs about 57 pounds. and from 40 to 50 cubic feet of space should be allowed for each ton of ice. A foot Of space Should be left between the ice and the surrounding walls for insulation unless the house is well insulated. Further insulation should be allowed above and below the ice,
 In some localities of low tempera- lures ice is frozen in metal cans or in fibre containers. By far the greater part of the ice crop, however. is taken from natural lakes. ponds or clear water streams,

CATTLE LICE.

Cattle lice live ons many cows the year around. but indfease greatly in winter months. They increase in num- bers as the oily skin 9secretions de- crease when the weather gets colder.
 Cattle lice are most numerous on the head, neck withers and thighs.
 The earlier the treatment for cattle lice begins, the easier and mere effee-' tive the control measures. Raw lin- seed oil is a cheap and effective con- trol. The oil may be applied with a brush at the time of grooming. The application should be repeated either twelve or thirteen days later as it will get the lice before they get again into the egg stage. To keep the cows free, repeat each month after the second treatment.
 After applying any control measure do not allow the cows to go into the direct sunlight, for at least twelve hours. Do not exercise the stock after the application and do not apply viz orously os the skin of the COW is very sensitive to injury.-G. H. Lamson, Professor of Entomology, Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs.

HELP ON CENSUS BLANKS.

The county agricultural agents in Connecticut have been supplied with sample schedules of the 1920 census dealing with agricultural information, Farmers who are at a loss to under stand the intricate mazes of the cen sus blanks may get assistance without charge from the county agents.
 No previous census, it is said, has ever been so complete in it's survey of the countFy's agriculture. Both in point of farm production and farm purchases, the schedules call for de- tailed information that should make the census of value in working out problems in the nations agricultural economies.
 It is also pointed out that the labor involved in making out the census re- ports will be of value to farmers in making their income tax returns Any person who still contends that a col lese education is without practical value to a farmer should wrestle for time with the census blanks and the income tax reports. Each puts the farmer to a test of mental gymnastics that makes even tl7e best educated feel that a course in higher mathematics is essential to success in farming

LONGER HOURS FOR HENS.

Artificial lighting. when properly done. is not forcing. but rather allow ing normal production.
 Lighting is really a feeding problem, the lights simply allowing the hens to eat longer.
 Lights from o'clock a. nn until day. light each morning have given excel lent results, providing enough extra food is given during the shortest days for normal production.
 Lights from o'clock a. m. to day. light and up to o'clock D. m. at night have given abnormal production dur ing December and January. with a mouit and drop in production later. which resulted in loss due to light ing.
 A gasoline lantern or barn lantern will do the work perfectly well. Hens need water as soon as they come off the roosts.
 If electric lights and time clock are a mart of the equipment, heater water fountains must also be used in freezing weather. Hens respond to lights quicker thar bullets, hut lights should not be used on breeding stock unless during the breeding season.-F'rom Poultry Calen lar. Connecticut Agricultural College Storrs.

NO DECLINE IN FARMING.

Refutation of the oft7repeated asser- tion that aere-yields of farm crops in the United States are on the decline as a result of waning soil fertility is given in the recent report of the United States secretary of agriculture.
 Secretary Houston points out that improved methods of farming and bet ter machinery have. in fact, resulted in a slightly slow but sure improve 'ment of acre-yields. This fact he says. is nowhere more clearly marked than in the New England and north Atlantic states Mr Houston says:
 The results of agricultural opera tions during the war furnish guaranty sof the ability of the present farm pop ulation of the country, with the area now In farms and in the existing state of agricultural science and practice. to meet the nations necessities for the near future if the requisite incentives are furnished. But there are reasons for further optimism As has been re- peatedly pointed out we still have a large area of untouched tiIlable iand, This is somewhat generally understood but it is not so well known that, as the result of improved processes and bet ter practices in all sections. there has been an upward tendency in the acre yields. As a matter-of fact the view seems more frequently to be expressed that in this respect American agricul- ture has deteriorated. The facts dis prove this. and in no part of the union more strillingly than in the older re- giors. such as the New England and north Atlantic states.
 Crop yields per acre in the United States show m upward tendency dur in~ the pericd for which we have re- fable comparable statistics. The av- craze rate of increase for the ps st 9 years has been about -one-half of one per cent. a year. This gain is not readily observed from one year to an- other owing to the wide yearly fiuntn- ations in yield But when averages for 2 series Of yields are obtained the eff feet of the seasonal variations is larre- lv sneutralized and the general trend is clear.

FACTORIES ON THE FARM

Now that prohibition has brought a tremendous increase in the manufac- ture of cider and grape juice, it is in- teresting to know at just what point the farmer who runs a cider mill on the side ceases to be farmer and be- comes a manufacturer.
 The agricultural division of the forteenth census draws a rather fine line between farm and factory opera tfons. It is going to require hard thinking ,on the part of enumerators 10 make the distinction in a great many instances. On this score the census directions offer the following

Such records as the double transcontinen- tai run of 1000 miles in 10 days and 21 hours would have been impossible without it. Again its endurance was revealed in speedway racing. For time after time Hud- son special racers, embodying the Super-Sn principle defeated swifter racing machines, some of which cost upwards of $40,000, simply because the Hudsons kept running, when the terrific pace forced others to the repair pits.
 It is noteworthy that Hudson recorda have stood for almost five years. In other fields five years have seen practically all records topple. The Hudson retains supre- macy, because it has the exclusive right to the Super-Six motor.

Caps Of; Fezzes Of.

Mohammedans of Elbasar are wear ing American golf caps instead of the red fez, which from the time Moham- med laid down the religious tenets for has worshippers, has been the imme- morial head covering of the Turk. The Austrian occupation left scarce ly a scrapa of cloth in the country. Many of the Turks went bareheaded. Then an American Red Cross unit ar rived, bringing thousands of outing caps.
 The Mohammedans. abandoning their religious seruples, clamored eagerly for these headpieces.
 Today most of the Turkish school bys of Elbasar wear the conventional caps of their Yankee brothers across the ocean. and look the better for 1t.
 When it comes to wrestling with his first mustache the youth is apt to get it down.

1t is the Most Wanted
 Fine Car

Its sales prove that. Ever since its famous tests proved Hudson the greatest endurance and speed car, it has been the largest selling fine car in the world. Now more than 80.- 900 are in service.
 The demand has always been in excess of supply. In some seasons thousands have waited months for delivery of certain models. That condition is we have every reason to believe, will be repeated this year,
 Therefore, if you intend to get Hudson, you will save disappointment by ordering ahead of the desired date of delivery. -

How completely Hudson's supremacy is acknowledged. Its records are not held by hairbreadths. They overshadow all others by conclusive margins.
 They bespeak the mastery of a type. That is clear to all.
 Consider that Hudson's leadership is not divided. It is not merely the fleetest of cars. It holds all the worth while power and accel- eration records, too.
 But chiefly it is famous for endurance. No other car has ever shown such endurance proofs. Look at the records. Even more important, observe how 8O,OOO Super-Sixes now in service, confirm all the fine qualities Hudson has proved in scores of tests.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-12-17
Hudson's Finest Qualities
 Are Exclusive

The Hudson is triumph of type. All it has done is due to the exclusive Super-Sx motor, which minimizes vibration and in- creases motor power by 72 29o, without added weight or size.
 That principle accounts for Hudson-s uli- equaIled endurance. It accounts, too, for its great advantages of speed, hill-climbing and power over any other type.
 And unless Hudson consents no other maker can use the principle of the Super-Six motor. It is the only supreme feature ever controlled by single maker.
