CENTRAL VILLAGE FLOCK
 STARTED FROM PET LAMB

STARTED FROM PET LAMB
 The chances are that if little Francis Hopkins had not been the unfortunate victim of a serious accident and want ed when convalescing, lamb for a pet Henry Hopkins, his father, of Central Village would not now be the owner of a nice flock of sheep.
 MT. Hopkins rents and lives with his family on what was formerly the Locke farm situated on the Green Hollow road. This road is a continuation of Broad street, Danielson.
 Henry Hopkins is a quiet, retiring man and did not care to talk for publication i; he felt. however. that if his experiences with sheep would help some other far mer he would submit. There are four very fine. well-mannered children and Mrs Hopkins is a hospitable. optimistic woman and helpmate. The atmosphere of the home is pleasing.
 On this farm sheep raising is the prin- cipal occupation. From the one which was bought for Francis additions have been made but they feel that a small ] flock does better so at the present time have flock of thirty-eight, but have | had as high as sixty. The wool and meat is sold and while the prices have dropped they find fairly good marke, for both. Mrs Hopkins remarked, 'aThe uehahd TOT sheep Is all right but peo- pie do not want to pay much"
 The four children, Ruth, 13; Francis II; Wallace. 10; Eleaner, 8; each hay, their own little flock of sheep and have had for some time. They give them goot lcare and are fast learning how to b, lproficient shepherds and shepherdesses.
 On the Hopkins farm Is found a vel iappearing flock of Southdowns ant Shropshires and they intend always f, ihave thoroughbred ram. Some of tn, sheep have been brought up on the bot
 tie when the mother has died or fo
 some other reason. Mrs. Hopkins ha

BLUE vITR1OL USED

BLUE VITRIOL USED
 TO Kit.I WEEDS
 This is tho time of year to rid grain fields of mustard, kale, wild turn!p CT other large, porous-Ieaf weeds Fields of wheat. oats, or of any crop having a small oily leaf may be beneficially treated by spraying with blue vitriol or with sulphate of iron.
 Blue vitriol should be used in the quantity of 15 pounds to 50 gallons of water whereas. 100 pounds of sulphate of iron may be mixed with 50 gallons
 Two methods are available for either of these sprays. One way is 10 spray first when the weeds are forming their sixth or seventh leaf, and again within foIrr days. The few weeds that will rrow later may be easily pulled out by hand.
 The other method is te spray when the weeds are just beginning to blossom using one and one-half times the amount recommended above While not as eI- fective as the first, this method will vir- tually forestaI the presence of weed seeds in grain fields at harvest time. The ordinary potato sprayer is sulta- ble for this work, provided it is washed out well after using, so as to prevent corrosion of the metal tubes. Sprayers | may be adjusted so as to have the noz- l zles IS inches apart, the best arrange Iments for thorough spraying. SEED CORN MAGGOT

 PLACES IN SToRRS CONTEST

Egg production in the laying contest at Storrs continues to ease off little as it is expected to do from this time on to the end of the hen year. Last week the hens dropped down some 8 eggs
 which means that they laid 4,246 or a yield of nearly 6l per cent. Summer is, of course, the season when the Leghorns get iii their best work. It is not, there fore, surprising that with one exception Leghorns are the only breeds mentioned :n the first three positions for the week.

COMEDIAN TOFOLD
George Douglas Has Choice
Between Stage ard
Ballfield.

II you had a chance to play big
league baseball and you had a chance
to sign a contract with a theatrical
producer, which one would you sign?
George Douglas. featured com
edian with the Bon Tons" at the
Gayety Theater this week, was faced
by this same problem only a short
time ago. Douglas gained a reputa-
ton of being the speedy infielder of
a Western ball club. Two years
ago he was offered a fiattering con-
tract by a major league club, but
the lure of the footlights drew his
attention from baseball with the re-
suit that he went into burlesque.
Douglas has been in the show busi-
ness more than two years, having
played baseball between seasons. At
present, or at least when he is in
New York, he plays shortstop on
the Burlesque Club nine.
Although young in years, Douglas
has played in every branch of the
amusement game from drama to
comedy. He served two years with
the A. z. F., and 1t was on his re-
lease from the service that he faced
one to play game every after
noon and the other to work two
long shows every. day.
Douglas is a follower of every
outdoor sport and is especially fond
of cycling. During this week, sew
eral of his friends are playing at
other Washington theaters and. ac-
rording to present plans. he and
his friends are going to engage in a
friendly bicycle race on the Speed
way next Saturday. AS to the out
come of the race, dopesters have
been unable to foretell a winner. but
Douglas is sure that he'll reach the
line before Jim Barton
Douglas will have to work three
performances today on account OF
the extra midnight show tonight.
