EXPERT GIVES HINTS ON PLANT
 CULTURE

Is the old fashioned winter garden of grandmother's day dying out? Possibly there are not as many flower lovers who keep room full of plants over the winter, but there are many people who would keep plants if they knew more about varieties and the care plants re- quire. One county horticultural agent gives the following suggestions:
 r. "A conservatory or greenhouse as part of the home is beyond the reach of many" he says, "but very fine results with towering plants can. be secured by giving over an ordinary window or bay window. to their culture. This little greenhouse is within reach of the thou sands of plant lovers of ordinary means.
 For towering plants a window; with a southern exposure. is best. while for ferns, common foliage plants and trailing vines, a window on the east or west of a house will do
 "An excellent bed for the window garden is made by constructing a tray IS inches in width about two feet deep and as long as necessary It is lined with zinc and filled with gravel into wnlcn the pots are sunk. .....
 There are many towering plants which are better adapted to window gar dens than others. Among those are be- sonlaS, calls, cyclamen, fuchias, Chinese primroses, geraniums, heliotrope, lan- tanas and cinerarias. Bulbs with little attention will soon, give a fine display. The best of these are hyacinth, tulip, narcissus and lily-of-the-valley.
 k For the start of a window garden plants may be purchased at this season from florists. The big point to note is that the plants are stocky and well grown, and, in the case of fioverins plants make sure that they are we'll bud ded." .

have accumulated about the tree trunks and mounding with earth; CD Poison ing: (3) Placing mechanicals contriv- ances about the trees, such as woven wire netting. tarred paper, wooden-ve- neer protectors, etc
 The first of these methods is not suf- ficient, says MT. Darrow, in instances of severe infestation by mice but in such cases must be supplemented by one or both Of the other methods.
 Excellent results have been secured in various sections of the country by poison ing and it is recommended in all badly infested districts that poisoning be en- ployed as part of the regular orchard practice just as spraying is used for the control of insect pests and fruit diseases.
 Galvanized wire netting is recommeni- ed as the best of the mechanical con- trivances for protecting fruit trees Although the initial cost is greater than for tarred paper or wooden veneer pro- tectors. they are cheaper in the end.
 Many paints, smears ol washes have been recommended but with our present knowledge their usefulness is limited.

HOME, KILLED PORK SHOULD
 BE AS coon AS AN

Farmers who butcher and cure their own supply of pork save great part of their butchers bills and can produce meat of, the highest quality. Firm flesh, with a large proportion of lean meat, is desirable in a carcass that IS to be used on the farm. Lards and oils are relatively so cheap that 1t is seldom profitable to cure a very large fat hog says J. A. Sims of the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural college. - Breeding and feeding determine the quality of the carcass Hogs that are rather long-bodied, fiat backed and straight-sided give. much lean meat GroWthy pigs, showing refinement in hair, shin and bone, should be selected for fat >tening.
 The quality of the carcass is consider ably effected by feeding. Feeds such as corn. middlings and linseed meal produce relatively soft flesh, while tankage fish meal, skim milk barley and cotton seed meal tend to harden the flesh. A mixed feed produces firmer flesh than 2 single feed such as corn or middlings. Exercise tends to harden the desh, as does protein and minerals
 The cheapest, concentrate feeds. as a rule, are hominy corn and middlinss as the main feeds with, tankage or fish meals as supplements high in protein. Tankage and fish meal cost a good deal more per ton than corn or middlings but the pig gains so much faster and uses so much less feed for the gain that it Is quite profitable to use these high priced supplements.
 As rule two parts of corn to one of middings will be economical If the price is the same, equal parts should De fed
 For snan pigs just put on feed, use sl per cent. to per cent. of the cern-rnid- dlfngS mixture and 1 per cent. to 12 per cent ot the supplement, such as tanlSage e nsh meal and reduce khe amount of the latter to per cent or per cent. by the time the pigs are ready to butcher.
 Names of firms handling tankage and fish meal may be secured from MT. Smrns
 Middlings and corn do not make a complete feed for fattening pigs An experiment in Wisconsin showed that tankage- when fed to supplement corn is worth about seven times as much as middlings LinseSd meal, cottonseed meal gluten feed and other vegetable preteins are poor supplements of corn, unless the pigs are pastured. When cheap in price, they can be mixed with corn to advantage when fish meal or tAnkage Is also fed. Corn alone is rare iy, if ever, profitable in Connecticut
 Skim-mi1k is valuable feed for swine of all ages and produces a quail ty of pork Is probably higher than that made from any other feed. For mature hogs or fattening shotes, skim milk is worth today about 40 cents per hundred pounds as compared to fish meal or tankage. Small pigs under hf- |ty pounds will 3ustify a higher price for slxim-miIk and . small amount can be used even though 1t costs SO cents to 70 cents per 1ndred Small pigs make good use of tv or three parts of skim milk to one art of the eorn-midd ddlinEs

RATION sERAICE FOR
 MONTH OF DECEMBER

MONTH OF DECEMBER
 The ration service for the month of December prepared by the dairy spe- cialist of the Connecticut AgrIculturaA College has just been received at the New London County Farm Bureau ot- flee. The following is what Dairy Spe- cialst A. R. Merrill of the extension service has to suggest in regard to the feeding of dairy cows for the month of December passing his quotations on the prices quoted on November 27:
 'There has been "a rather general advance on all grains during the month of November; but the market has been somewhat easier during the latter part of the month.
 The car shortage is still acute, mak- ing it difficult to obtain feeds as they are wanted.
 The following list shows the feeds most commonly used. d:gestible nutri- ents per ton, the average price per ton in mixed car lots and the cost per 100 pounds of digestfble nutrients. Quota .tions are for sections taking Boston average from $3 to $5 per ton higher.

 AND PROTECT ORCHARD

With the. approach of each winter season every precaution should be taken to see that all orchard trees are, prop erly protected against injury by mice and other rodents. It is much more satfsfac- tory lto< save trees from being girdled than trying to save. them after the girdling has taken place.
 Various means of protection are sug- gested by W. H. Darrow, among the most important of which are: (1).. Clearing away upon the approach of. cold wealth er'. the grass and other materials which

mixture, while older stuff do we'll on one part of each.
 Cotton seed meal, though poisonous to hogs when fed in large quantities and for extended periods, is one of the most valuable feeds for hardening and improving the carcass. A very desira- ble flesh can be obtained if the follow ing ration is used during the last three weeks of the fattening period: Corn, 90 per cent; middlings, 25 per cent; cot tonseed meal, 20 per cent; and fish meal, 5 per cent

' A great many. persons are feeding low grades of hay. cornstaks, and sil- age. These roughages call for a much higher protein grain ration than would be needed were clover hay or even mix ed hay being fed. Timothy hay, low grade mixed hays and stalks are con- stipating feeds. Knowing this it would be well to correct it by using some grain feeds that are of a laxative na- ture. Bran and oil meal would satiRy this requirement.
 For feeding with such roughages the following ration will give satisfactory results:
