YNE PRESIDENT

IS CONFINED TO UPPER APART
MENT OF WHITE HOUSE.
SSES BUT FEW OFFICIALS.

WASHINGTON.-For a man who
has had a severe nervous breakdown
President Wilson appears to be get
ting along as well as can be expected.
With the aid of a cane he now walks
about his bedroom and the upper
apartment of the white house, and is
wheeled outdoors.
A rather monotonous life is being
led by the president, as he is closed
in from all friends and official col
leagues. His physician, DR.. Cary
Grayson, manages to keep all sena-
tors, cabinet members and ambassa-
doris from seeing Mr.. Wilson, but
this has wrought no hardship on him,
as he has always preferred that OH
cial matters be put in writing. The
reading of memoranda and newspa-
pers keeps him in fairly close touch
with what is going on outside of the
executive mansion.
Conditions Shows Improvement.
The presidents condition, it is said
at the white house, is progressing
and each week sees some improve
ment. There apparently is still need
for mental and physical rest, with
nobody able to guess accurately just
how long Mr.. Wilson will have TO
remain in seclusion.

fit. The dairymen are not getting rich and the public is not paying for the crass inefficiency on farms that some city Investigators have "dis- covered" ..
 The future of New England agri- culture, and with it to a large extent the future of other New England in dustries dependent to a degree upon prosperous agriculture, rests largely upon maintenance of the dairy in- terests of the section. With the promised influx of foreign dairy products, the maintenance of profit able dairying in New England will be dependent somewhat upon an increase in consumption of dairy products-Mr. Brigham estimates this to be at least three per cent. Such an increase, it is agreed, is vital to the health of the public. Dairy products, chiefly milk, even at present prices represent the most economical food source. A tempor- ary setback to New England dairy ing in the face of foreign competi- ton would mean a public loss that would take long to repair and would not bring permanent relief to con- sumers from high prices.

The Dairy Situation

Tn his talk to Connecticut Dairy men during the recent Farmers Week at Hartford, E. s. Brigham, commissioner of agriculture of Yer mont, pointed out the probable in- fiuence on the American dairy indus try, particularly in New England. of the present almost worldwide inter- est in dairying. Better dairy man. agement and greater consumption of dairy products are both necessary, according to MT. Brigham, if the American industry is to avoid 8 slump within the next few years.
 Better dairy management, as was clearly indicated at the Hartford ses- sions, is already in evidence. New England dairymen are watching the corners better than ever before. Even with present high prices of milk as compared to those obtaining a few years ago, it takes careful management to show reasonable pro-

Dock All Lambs

The importance of docking lambs and castrating all male lambs not in tended for breeding purposes is of much more importance than is gen. erally realized e says R. E. Begg, sheep specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. Very few farmers would think of marketing their hogs or beef animals entire, and yet on some farms no thought is given to castrating the lambs. .
 Practically all range-bred lambs are docked and castrated. When placed on the market they have a more uniform appearance and as a result sell for a higher price than lambs not so treated. Not only are buck lambs discounted in price be- cause of the "bucky" flavor to the meat, but they will not feed as con- tentedly or gain as rapidly as weth- CTS, says MT. Begg. The operation is best performed when the lambs are ten days to two weeks of age. The hands of the operator as well as the knife, should be washed clean, with little carbolic acid or other disinfectant added to the water. Cut off one-third of the lower end of the scrotum and pull the testicles out one at time. The cord should be drawn out, not cut off. Wash the wound with a little disinfectant. Keep the lambs as quiet as possible for day or so.
 Docking gives the lambs heater and more uniform appearance. Long tailed lambs collect dung, which often causes maggot trouble during hot weather. The operation should be performed on eve lambs at about two weeks of age and buck lambs one week after castration. Locate a joint about one and one-half inches from the body, shove the skin of the tail up towards the body and remove the tail with sharp knife or dock ing iron. If knife is used it is a good plan to tie cord tightly around the stump to prevent exces- sive bleeding. The docking iron is more satisfactory as it sears the tail and prevents bleeding.

Farm Wage Increases

Statistics gathered by government agencies indicate that farm laborers are obtaining more rapid rate of increase in their Income than are the farmers who hire them. In the year of 1919, for example, the farm value of crops increased over the previous year but 11.8 per cent and the value of animal products but 9.9 per cent, while farm help hired by the month obtained wage increases of IA per cent in the case of those who were supplied board and 15.3 per cent for those who boarded elsewhere. Day wages in the harvest season inereas- ed by 18.9 per cent.
 Present indications are that the figures for 1920 will show much higher rate of increase for farm la bor. Many farmers report inability to get help at any price and in man. ufacturing districts farm wages have had to keep pace with those paid by the factories.
 For labor hired by the month, with board included, the average for the United States during 1919 was $39.82. Wages were lowest in the Southern states and highest in the Pacific Northwest. Wages in New England and all Northeastern states were above the average for the Nation.

He Sold the Slackers

A North Stonington, Conn, poul- tryman who entered his flock in the Home Egg Laying Contest, conduct ed by the Connecticut Agricultural College Extension Service, became interested in the directions for cull- ing out non-laying hens. After go- ing over his flock carefully he found that nearly half of them failed to show indications of profitable lay ing. He sold the unproftable hens. "I think the Home Egg Laying Contest is doing more to stimulate egg production and interest in poul- try keeping generally than any other effort of the college that has come to my attention" writes this poultry farmer to Roy E. James of Storrs. The contest gives poultrymen a chance to check up their results by the records of other poultrymen in the state. The records promise to establish standards of just what should be expected of a flock of hens each month in the year.

Seed Corn Warning

Most farmers have vivid re- membrance of the condition of their seed corn in the spring of 1918. Ger imitation tests of corn entered in various county corn shows this win ter, indicate the condition of seed corn to be almost as poor this year, according to Henry Dorsey of the ,Agronomy Department at Connecti- cut Agricultural College at Storrs. Examinations are ranging from 30 to 85 per cent with an average of about 55 to 60 per cent. Since these entries are more or less carefully selected they are likely better than a great deal of the seed that will be taken from the corn cribs for plant ing.
 Tn the light of present indications it would seem foolhardy for any farmer to plant corn without a thorough germination test first being made. By thorough test is meant an individual ear test, so made that each ear which fails to give perfect test may be discarded. Such test can easily be made by the use of the ftrag doll', but box of sand, or of saw dust, is an efficient germinator. The desirable thing is to test the ears of corn so that only live seed may be planted. To this end any means may be used that is at all convenient on the farm.
 a4 Whatever method of testing is used, three things are to be remem- bered and provided. First, the tenn perature must not run so low as to injure the young seeding before it bursts from the kernel of corn. For safety the temperature should not fall below 50 to 60 degrees Fahren- heit. This condition may be met in most farm houses by seeing that there is a slow fire over night in the room where the test is being made. 8Second-Water is necessary to germination and must be provided. In the beginning of the test thor ough soaking of the cloth, sand or sawdust is essential. Afterward the germinator should be kept moist, but not saturated.
 Third-Aid is necessary Tn order that growth may take place.
 All three things-air, warmth and water must be provided. A good seed bed provides the three conditions. A good germinator therefore, artificial ly supplants the seed bed, except that food material may be absent, because it is present in the corn grain in sufficient quantity to ger- minate the corn and produce seeding several inches tall.
 Anyone unfamiliar with the meth ods of testing seed corn, should wr1ts his County Agent, or either of the Agricultural Experiment Sta tons of the state. These agencies will be glad to give instruction in methods of testing seed corn.
