 more of their own meat, is the opinion of Prof, J. 4. siuums of storrs. The fast census shows that hog raising in this state is practically an abandoned art, but MT Simms sees no reason why Con- nectieut should net product just az fine hams of shoulders as Virginia At the F prices which fine quality hams and ba- con retaSi in Connecticut there is no question but that the average farmer could save money by producing his own meat and perhaps make a profit by sell ing the saFplHs.
 | One difficulty with hog raisers in. this state, according to Mr. Sinams, has hsen Il a tendency toward long feeding It is | almost a universal rule in hog raising | anywhere that the 400 to 6eo-pound hog is produced at a loss or very small prof | | it. By feeding for quick growth and | marketing or butchering at 200 or 225 l pounds. better quality of meat at l less cost may be obtained. Good hog crop aid in producing pork economical l Fly.
 pr. E. H. Jenkins told sf the work
 which the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station in New Haven is doing to safeguard the food sources of Con
 necticut homes Tests are made of va
 rious canned and preserved goods and
 in many instances manufacturers are
 barred from selling their goods in this ] state as a result of such Investigation. Feeding tests with rats which have ] attracted nationwide attention, were all so explained. Within recent years the discovery has been made that some : foods will sustain life but will not Pro- mote growth in young animal. While
 the experiments have been made largely T with rats, the facts proven by the tests apply in many instances equally well to children. The entire field of dietectica 1, has undergone radical changes in very ' recent years and both government and state authorities are now doing 3 great - deal toward acquainting mothers with the needs of growing children. Milk: 4 especially, contains the vital clements - known as vitamines and which are en- 2 drely lacking in some foods Miss Gertrude White, of Andpver. told 2f her success with bees. Miss White n kyes on farm and took up beekeeping T as means of increasing the farm prof T. it's She has found bees to be one of the > most profitable "cropsp on the farm. 's While she found 1t necessary to get
 some help from mere man in the matter 's of providing her equipment, Miss White + does practically all the work of hand g ling the bees, She says women need not IS hesitate about handling bees because oi l. the fear of getting stung. Improved "a strains Of bees, properly handled. rarely ,e sting an experienced apiarist. The hon Is ey is readily sold and usually z price. K that make profit possible. Lees art m considered to be an advantage in thu P oollinization of fruit trees and other ss farm crops.
