$1oo GOO GIFT FOR
 BIG PILGRIM FUND

Connecticut is on top. if not over the top, in the drive which the Con- gregationalists are making for a $5,- coo, 900 fund for the ministry a me morial in connection with the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. A New London county man. whose name is withheld. is the biggest contributor to the fund Of any give- in the United States, his contribution being round $10o.o00
 The county which had the honor of opening the states drive was Wind ham county. where the work was com Der. The quota expected from that county was s23.42o. Up to the third week in October $2s.695 had been raised. The campaign proceeded through Holland county with similar results. Practically every church eith- CT went over or doubled and some tri- pied.
 Work in New London county is now in progress. Tn Windham county out of g churches canvasseG. g exceeded their quota. In Holland, 15 out of 20 did the same. In New London county 19 out of S1 have already exceeded their quota. In New London county was received the largest gift thus far made by any person in the United States and it was from an anonymous donor.
 In contrast to the si0o,O0o gift is that of a little girl in this same county
  herself to give 30 cents each year for five years. It was in New London county also that three Russian Jews, each having a small farm heavily mcrtgaged, pledged for the fund. one $5, another S20. and the third $25. It was ill New London county also that ono church held q special business in the midst of it's fund drive and voted unanimously to raise the salary Of it's minister.
 Rev William $. Beard. who is di recting the work in Connecticut. was born in Harwich. Mass. but spent the most of his life in Connecticut. where his father, Rev. William II. Beard, was for 24 years pastor of the church at South Killingly. Mir. Beard was educated at Phillips academy and was graduated from Yale academ- ic in 1894, and from Yale Divinity school i'll 1897. He was called ill 1897 to the church at Durham N. H., where he remained until 1908.

RUSH FOR MOVIE

If the Davis theater has many more picture nights that draw the crowd the way the offering did Monday night Norwich movie patrons will learn how to form lines to get their tickets at the box olive On Monday night from 6.30 to z and later there was line that stretched out from the lobby, on- to and across the sidewalk and out in to the middle of the street and then took a bend towar Gis the Masonic tenn pie and extended down the middle of the street. W
 As the street was narrowed up by the parking of automobiles against the westerly curb, the line of people in the roadway still further restricted the space there for automobiles that came along and also rendered the peo- pie in the street liable to accident If the forming of lines gets to be the eguiar thing at the Davis theater, the suggestion is made that the line keeps to the sidewalk.

Sorghum silage, according to United
States department Of agriculture spe-
cialists, promises to become a cham
pion yielder Of winter succulence, not
only for dairy cows but for other live
stock which relish canned crops. I'm
fortunately, when sorghum was first
used for silage purposes, many grow
ers cut the sorghum too early, so that
when the material was removed from
the silo for feeding 1t was sour and
acid, and live stock rejected 1t. As
result, sorghum gained an evil reputa-
ton, although experiments have DEM
onstrated that 1t is one Of the most
admirable crops for ensilage purposes
that can be grown In the Great Plains
region.
In five years experiments at Hays,
Kan, the average acre yield Of sweet
sorghums was 1924 tons, as compared
with 500 tons of kaflr and 3.8 tons Of
corn. In eastern Kansas, where the
rainfall is 80 inches or more, on fer
tile soils sweet sorghums have yielded
1872 tons an acre, as compared with
11.SS tons of kafir and 11.81 tons of
corn silage. Detailed feeding expert
ments have shown that sweet sor-
ghum silage is proportionately equal
to corn and kafir silage for either beef
production or the maintenance of stock
animals, although for dairy cows this
variety of ensllage is less productive
because of its low content of protein.
Acidlty Is Low.
Sorghum silage should be cut when
1t is mature, its ripe1ess being denoted
by the presence of hard seed. The
test for rlpeness is when the seed will
crack when crun0hed between the
teeth. When cut at this time 1t pro-
duces Inequality silage which keeps
we'll and is more keenly relished by
cattle than corn silage. Experiments
show that the average acidity of corn
silage is 2.03 per cent, that Of sweet
sorghum silage Is LAG per cent, and
that of kafir siiage is 1.43 per cent.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture does not advocate the grow
ing of sorghum for silage in special

The present-day home builder is to
be congratulated. In the homes that
are designed and constructed in this
generation there has been a complete
change in the idea that a house to
be comfortable has to have innumer-
able rooms that are seldom used.
The modern home contains only as
many rooms as the owner can use con-
tinuously, but those rooms are design
ed so that they give the maximum in
comfort, and at the same time do not
overburden the hOusekeeper with work.
And what is of greatest Importance is
that this idea of conservation of space
without sacrifice of comfort has made
1T possible to build a home more
'cheaply.
The home shown in the accompany
ing illustration embodies the features
mentioned. This is a small house that
is not costly to build, but 1t contains
accommodation for the average fam
fly, and the rooms are so arranged
that it is an exceptionally comfortable
and convenient home. Also il is a
home that can be erected on a COM
paratively small lot, as its dimensions
are only q by 81 feet.
As will be seen by the perspective
view this is most attractive home

Field of Sorghum Suitable for silaae.

zation Of sorghum as sllage is recon-
mended In the Great Plains section.
and also in the Southeastern states,
where this cane crop win produce
greater yields and better ensilage than
will corn.
Velvet Beans In Combination.
In case a dairy farmer wishes to
raise an ensiiage of practically bal
anced compesition-assuming that his
location Is in a territory where both
these crops may be profitably produced
Ia mixture of velvet beans and sor-
ghum is very satisfactory. This COM
bination is high yielding and produces
succulent canned feed which Is very
productive of both milk and meat. An
objection to velvet bean growing In
combination with sorghum is that the
crop has to be cut by hand. as II usu-
ually is densely matted and twined 10
gether so as to render impossible the
use Of q corn binder.
