400 DAY-OID.

The Post Office resenbled a bind store in sound today, when 400 day old chicks arrived from Springfield, Mass, consigned to various people in the city and in adjoining towns. The sad peep" of the motherIess chicks could be heard all through the big building. This is the largest mum Der that ever arrived at the Post Of1ce in any one time.
 Baby Chicks are able to live 72 hours after breaking through their shells without food or drink and some chicken fanciers say that it is harmful to feed them within that period of time as nature has provided for them.
 It is very seldom that any chicks are found dead in transit so carefully are they handled. In a recent con- signment received from Iowa there was only one found dead, a remarka- ble achievement in Post Office rec ords, taking into consideration the great distance Iowa is from Connec- ticUt. A few days ago 150 chicks were received from Springfield, O., and out of this number but three were found dead.

Hhorne states that the principal crops which will be raised on the farm land are oats, corn, barley and poatoes. All the seeding has been finished and all remains is to plant the potatoes. some of the farm is used for truck gardening and a great deal of silo corn Is raised to take care of the three sllos on the farm. None of the crops are sold for the simple reason that Hillside Home uses all that is grown.
