KEEPING CLOSELY IN TOUCH
Worth While for Farmer to Keep Him.
self Informed of Market Con-
ditions Before Selling.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers who sell vegetables or other
farm produce to or retail
stores find that taking pains to inform
themselves on the condition of the
market is very much worth while. Ere
quently a telephone inquiry or refer
ence to the local paper will reveal a
demand or lack of demand that seri-
Ously affects the value of ones product.
The information so obtained may sug-
gest a delay in taking the produce to
town, and give the seller a consider
ably better price than he or she would
otherwise have obtained. In advertis-
ing goods for delivery through parcel
post it is particularly important that
the farmer keep closely in touch with
the demands and tastes of prospective
customers. To advertise goods at the
wrong time is to throw away money.
To offer them for sale at the most IA
vorable time at proper prices means
getting the largest returns for ones
labor and investment.

Number of Chickens Kept Usual

the Best and Most Up-to-Date
Poultry Methods.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A%griculture.)
Butter and eggs furnish many farm
women with most of the money they
spend on themselves and their chill
dren. The amount of butter a woman
sells depends pretty much on the
number of cows her husband is will
ing to keep. The number of chickens,
however, is usually determined by her
skill and by the amount of time she
can devote to caring for them.
Club Members Taught.
The women who belong to clubs or
ganized by the department of agricul-
ture and the state colleges are taught
the best and most up-tO-date methods
of caring for poultry. The members
are also helped in organizing egg and
poultry circles which enable them to
obtain better prices for their products.
One egg circle in fernando county,
Florida, in three months sold 81, $40 6
worth of poultry and eggs. In one
month the members shipped 1880 eggs.

ordinary gate. In such cases a needle
eye" gate will make it easy for the
fence. Such a gate is shown in the H.
%lustration. 1t merely consists of two
posts erected so close together that a
horse or COW cannot pass between
them. These posts are tied together at
the top with a long bolt, while at the
bottom they are boarded up for a foot
or two to keep hogs or calves in. Such
a gate as this is convenient for the
farmer to "duck through" and is at the
same time animal proof.

WHY FOWLS EAT THEIR EGGS
Habit Usually Begins Through Some
Accident and Spreads Rapidly
Through Flock.

Egg eating usually begins through
accident by eggs being broken or
frozen and generally when it gets
started in a flock egg eating becomes
a serious vice, inasmuch as chickens
are very fond of eggs when they have
learned to eat them, and the habit
quickly spreads from fowl to fowl.

Idea That Every Hen and Cow Must
Be Fed Exactly Same Ration
Is Erroneous One.

Some folks get the idea that every
hen and every COW must be fed ex-
actly the same ration. That is ALI a
mistake, for they have different ap-
petites and different demands. 1t is
alright to have an ideal average ra-
ton to serve as a guide, but it must
not be expected to work out individ-
unlly.

Two Vital Points.
A poultry club in Coffee county,
Tennessee, in IL months has sold $345
worth of poultry from a flock of 1876.
The members of these clubs are taught
how to weed out poor layers and how
to select good setting eggs by the
poultry specialists. Often the differ
ence between success and failure for
the poultryman OF woman lies in
knowledge on these two points.

 While the New Haven road has not yet put this "ad' in the daily papers throughout New England, there is every possibility that it will do so if before long they do not locate the Federal express, due here at 12:26 midnight and from which nothing has been heard all day at the Bridge port station.
 "We've lost the Federal express D stated one of the railroad workers when asked about rail traffic condi- tions today. Its due here at 12:26 but we can't find it anywhere and haven't the slightest idea of where it is.''
 Trains from New Haven to New York were reported as running vir- tually on schedule but through through trains Boston and New York, were anywhere from two to six hours late.
 The Naugatuck Valley branch is reported as being "open to some ex- tent" Further questioning develop ed the fact that trains on this branch ''left Bridgeport all right, but we don't know where they go or when they get there.''

Burns Is Crushed
 To Death
Caught Between Two Trolley Cars Died
 Instantly.
WAS RIDING ON
 FORWARD STEP

While riding on the left forward step of a west bound trolley car in Barnum avenue about 6:10 o'clock this morning, Michael Burns, of HIS Barnum avenue, was struck by an east bound car, dragged between the two trolleys and almost instantly killed. The man was on his way to work in the Locomobile Co.'S plant at the time of the accident.
 According to a report made to the police, Burns and a companion evi- dently ran for the west bound car which was in charge of Conductor Peter Nolan, of SIS Atlantic street. and Motornan Iver Alpert, 200 Alsace street. The men jumped on the forward step and had ridden but a short distance when the east bound lar approached. Burns remained on the step, but his companion made a flying leap into the snow and es- caped injury.
 Dr. Maxwell arrived with the Emergency ambulance a few minutes after the accident, and pronounced the man dead. The body was taken to the City Morgue in Golden Hill street.
 The police were not able to secure much information relative to the dead man this morning. He was employed by the LocomobiIe Co.,, and has a mother living in Ireland. Or his person was found a letter ad- dressed to Miss F'ogarty, of 3Ss Edgewood avenue, New Haven; an, other addressed to Mrs. Burns, of IF East 102nd street, New York city and a handbook showing deposits o- $2,000.

 Time.
|DERAHMENT
 HALTS TRAFFIC

Bridgeport, SIthough still presenting to some extent a snow4bound appear ance today, is far better off than yes terday, the trolley lines throughout the city operating on a more or less steady schedule and all suburban lines being open with the exception of the Bridgeport Norwalk line, which at 11:30 today was open only as far as Buckley's bridge, although trolley of ficials stated that the entire line would be cleared in a short time.
 Gangs of men were out bright and early this morning cleaning the areets and crosswalks about the center of the city. The various departments are cooperating in this work, including the Public Works department, police, firemen, health, and t71e Bridgeport Construction Go.
 Superintendent of Streets T. J. Gun ninghann when asked this morning approximately how many men were working on the streets, replied, "1 don't know He further stated that he could not even guess the number of men employed cleaning the snow from the tf4oroughfares. Mayor Will son, asked the same question, gave practically the same response.
 Apparatus has been loaned by the health department, fire department, park departm ent and every man that could be hired today got a job shov- cling snow. The health departments ash carts came in for consid eralble praise by the snow shoveIers, these carts they claim doing far more than their share of the work.
 A State street-Barnum avenue troll ley went off the tracks early this morning at Main and State streets delaying traffic for about half an hour but aside from minor interrup- tions trolley traffic was fairly steady throughout the day.
 Merchants and residents in the city are fast clearing off their sidewalks but the streets are still in bad condi- tion even where the gangs of men have partly cleared away the snow vehicular traffic churning up the re. maining piles and distributing them about the streets. As was the case yesterday there was no school session today but aside from this fact tht routine of the city was carried or about as usual.
