The fresh sardine is beautiful lit

beneath the scales there shows up the

According to eyewitnesses, lovers OF

the bolsheviki when Lenine ordered
all the bottles and barrels of firewater
poured into the cutters.
In place of vodka, the Russian drinks
tea several times a day. To satisfy
that craving" for alcohol, he sips 1t

The bolshevist reformers did not stop
with voting the country dry. They are
waging a war against begging and
prostitution, and have succeeded to
the extent that there is less of either
than in other European capitals. Ac-
cording to authorities. the decrease in
prostitution and begging is due to two
causes. In the first place, the leisure
class that supported these occupations
Is gone. Secondly. fear of harsh boil
shevist punishment has driven the
parasites to work.

EARLY. MATCHING AND HOW TO
DO 1T

The earlier Matching campaign Is now
being started and pushed in this State.
The first obstacle to be overcome is the
definite location of available incubator
space. The publicity given to this cam
paign will result in inquiries as to where
people can get their own eggs Matched
or where they can buy day-old chicks.
In the view of this fact. the State Is be-
Ing circuarzed as to available incubators
that are in workable condition, and II Is
hoped that all who receive the letters will
do their important part In filling out and
promptly returning the cards.
1t Is radily seen that II all who could
would give their first setting hens baby
chicks, instead of eggs, they would be
three weeks earlier,
EARLY hatch" means early lay" and
summed up means more money to the

forcibly, suppose your pullets this year

Her; your profits would have been larger,
especially this year when eggs have been
SO nigh. Without doubt earlier hatch
ing presents some difficulties to you; but
not nearly as many difficulties as the too
late Matched pullet has to lay. even II
she was bred for it. Your difficulties car

Not much success has been attained
with washes or other applications to
prevent ovipositon. Ill-smelling sub
stances appear not to repel the cicada.

OF Bordeaux mixture is also believed 20
nave some value as a preventive.
Certain precautionary methods, how
ever, are OF more importance than tho
curative ones. In all regions where there
is to be an appearance of the cicada. all
pruning operations should be neglected
during the preceding winter and
spring in order to offer a larger twis
growth and thus to distribute the dam
age over greater surface. The planting
OF young orchards should be deferred
until the danger is past and the same
advice applies to building operations in
the spring prior to the cicada's appear

brood this year will not bring about con-
I ditions approaching those of 1863.
The United States department of agri-
culture has long kept close check on
all of the broods of both families and is
able to say with almost complete accur-
acy Just when and over what territory
any brood will appear. The work Of
classifying and locating the various
broods with their periods of recurrence
began long while ago and was attend
ed for some time with considerab BILE con-
fusion. 1t was generally believed that
the period of recurrence was IT years
but every once in while there would
be an outbreak that failed to coincide
with any possible 17-year period and in
vestigators We're getting different re-
suits. with periods apparently ranging
all the way from 10 years to II years.
All this work was done on the assump-
ton that all periodical cicadas were
alike and the records were getting de-
cidedly snarled before the discovery that
| the l3-year family is separate and dis
| tinct from the 17-year family.
ClCADAS WILL APPEAR IN MAY
Latitude does not appear to materially
affect the time of emergence from the
ground the cicada in the Lake States
coming out within week or two of the
same time as In the Gulf and South At
lantic States. This date ranges from the
last week in May to the first in June
and the shrieking hosts may be looked
for throughout the whole territory in
dictated at about that time. Late in Nav
or early in June the under sides of leaves
on practically all trees in dense brood
areas will be studded with the cast
skins and every wooded place will be re-
sounding with the shrill drums
A month later the disposition Of eggs
in branches will have become general.
OF forest trees. the oak and hickory
appear to be preferred. though the cicada
deposits eggs In all kinds of trees, with
apparent tendency, however, to avoid

share of attention. In the case of large
trees only slight and temporary In
jury is done but with young orchards ana

unless some protective measures are
adopted.
INSECTICIDES ARE EFFECTIVE
The destruction of the cicada may be
accomplished with insecticides IL ap-

can be made very successful in small
areas but could not be applied on a

crossing nicely. and your county agent
is now able to inform you where you can
get your own eggs Matched. or can buy
day-old chicks nearby. This feature
works entirely to your advantage; you
have no delay or transportation difficult

Why not patronize your own Local

greenest. neither are distant poultry
plants always the best to fll your

A VERMONT INDUSTRY
(From the Hartford Courant.


Windham county, Vermont. took
part last year, so far as its women
folks were concerned, in a food pres
ervation campaign and the results
thereof have been published recently
showing that 100000 quarts of food
products were deserved.
This Is a mere detail, the important
feature being the nature of the food
products thus preserved, for among
these appear one deer and two and
one-half pigs AS to the pigs one has
little curiosity. but venison in cans, If
1t was canned. is inclined to incite
thought Knowing that Vermont 8
deer law Is like that of this State we
feel certain to' begin with that this
deer was killed while in the act of
breaking the peace of the State by de-
stroyng with force and arms the
crops of some farmers in Windham
county and that 1t met with the fate
which 1t deserved.
But how was the meat preserved
In the frontier stories of so years ago
venison was cooked in delicious man
ner over the blazing campfire or else
II the red demons were in the neigh
borhood. the venison appeared dried
and was eaten furtively and with as
little noise as possible. in which con-
dition 1t must have been more dur
able than a rubber heel How aged
and almost toothless hunters. trap
pers and scouts managed must remain
a secret
l. What we desire to know now is how
the Vermont housewife of to-day pre-
serves venison, that is when it be-
comes necessary to kill a deer In order
to save the crops. Was It sailed, as
the two and one-half pigs may have
been or Ia the secret of drying veni-
son. jerking 1t, still known in Yer
mont?
Here in Connecticut, where to theil
grief the farmers are forced to kill 6
deer, now and then, information OF
this matter might be of value.

Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the above
poem. Set to the inspiring melody of

by 10000 voices accompanied by an or
chestra Of 1000 pieces and conducted by
Patrick Sarsheld Gilmore, n famous band
master of his day.
The American Hymn" was composed
in 1866 by Matthias Keller, a resident Of
Boston. During the years of the Civil
war. and for some afterward. many songs
of patriotism were written. The major
ity of these songs had little merit and
have been long forgotten. Kellers hymn
was very warmly received from it's first

seized upon it for use at the National
Peace Festival, and he persuaded Dr.
Holmes to write some words suitable for
such an occasion. The result was this

Although he wrote other songs and
hymns that received passing notice, he
had no great reputation either as mu-

killing them. Yet the fact remains tina,
