GRANTED DIVORCE
Former Lime Rock Woman Gets
 Decree in Pittsheld

Mrs. Jennie Judd, formerly of Lime Rock, mother of four children, oldest 20, was granted decree from George F. Judd for cruel and abusive treatment Tuesday in the Pittsfeld court. Mrs. Judd said they were married at Lime Rock Nov. 3, 1897, and her husband drove her out of their home in May, 1905, with her seven-weeks-old baby in her arms, threatening her at the point of gun. A neighbor sheltered her. In July she said her husband knocked down her father for protesting against his treatment of his little daughter. Mrs. Judd remonstrated and he hurled her out of the back door. Judd then went into the dining room and shot himself in the shoulder.
 Later Judd drove the whole fam fly out and Mrs. Judd came to Pitts field with the children. Mrs. Judd also testified that one time her hus- band fired almost point blank at her and her father in the kitchen and missed them only by hairs breadth ."He shot at me several times," she said. Mrs. Judd was given custody of three minor children.

STORR'S CONTEST
Rhode Island Reds Are First in
 22nd Week

At the end of the twenty-second week the hens in the tenth egg laying contest at Storr3 had produced
 56,229 eggs. Of these the heavy breeds laid 26,3J2 eggs and the light breeds laid 29,c7T eggs. The pro- duction for the twenty-second week was 4,906 eggs O. 70.l per cent. This is 146 eggs more than last weeks production, 3G0 eggs more than last year for the same period and 637 eggs more than for the six year average.
 Norman M. Misner's pen of Rhode Island Reds from Hasbrouck, N. Y, was an easy first for the week with a production of 61 eggs. A pen of Barred Rocks owned by Rock Rose Farm from Katonah, N. Y. was a close second with yield of 59 eggs. A pen of White Leghorns owned by Shadowbrook Farm from Ridgefeld, Conn.,, was third with 5S eggs. Three pens of White Leghorns and one pen of Reds tied for fourch place with yield of 57 eggs each. These pens were owned by Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Conn.,, Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Wash, White Springs Farm, Geneva, N. Y, and Charles D. Pierce, Arnold Mills, Rhode Is- land. A pen of Barred Rocks owned by Ernest W. Picker, Glen Ridge, N. J., pen of Rhode Island Reds own ed by Meadewedge Farm, Cedar hurst, L. l., a pen of White Leghorns owned by Lawrence W. Miller from Argyle, N. Y, a pen of White Leg horns owned by J. T. Ramage, Temple, Texas and a pen of White Leghorns owned by Ernest H. Scott of Pennington, Conn, all tied for fifth. place with a production 9f 56 eggs each.
 The time is approaching when eggs should be purchased for preser- vation for next winters use. Water glass or sodium silicate has been found to be the best egg preserva- tive. The water glass; alone can probably be obtained at from twenty to thirty commercial water glass to nine quarts of water that has been previously boiled and then cooled. See that the two are thoroughly mixed. Allow two quarts of this mixture for each three dozen eggs. For a case of eggs (thirty dozen) two quarts of water glass and eight cen quarts of water will be sufficient Recent Investigations have shown that where the eggs have been slightly covered with white vaseline | before placing them in the water ] glass solution that the eggs kept 1 much better and for longer period
