To stimulate the sale Of Connecticut
produced milk and 20 compete By mod
ern methods with the sale Of condensed
and evaporated milk in the state. the 1
Connecticut Milk Producers association
passed at is-anpual meeting at Hartford
Monday morning, a resolution providing
funlss for proper advertising Of pure milk
products. The resolution states that the
board of directors to be elected at the
meeting, devise method for the pur-
pose OF levying fifty cents per COW from
all members of the association and to es-
tab,ish Herewith a fund for advertising
the value of milk and thereby to increase
its use and consumption.

would be raised in this way in order to
promote the sale OF pure and undiluted
milk. q. E. Housh. manager Of the
association was the sponsor Of the reso-
luton and defended it warmly saying

STATE EXPOSITION 49,.
AND WINTER FAIR

: The state board of agriculture, with
the cooperation of other state agrcul-
tural associations and state departments,
has made plans to hold the fourth Con-
necticut exposition and winter fair at
the state armory on January 25th to
2sth, 1922. 1t has already been estab-
lished as the largest winter exposition
and educational gathering in New Eng
land. This year there is to be added a
state poultry show, an exhibit of thou
sand coops which should materially in
crease the attendance.
o. H. Benson, head Of the junior bu-
reau for the eleven eastern states, will
have large display made by the boys
and girls engaged in the various club
activities There will be several club
members in attendance to demonstrate
the practical EDUCATION which their con-
nection with these clubs has given them
Many other features will make this a
worthwhile winter meeting.
The exposition is entfray educational
and in no way an undertaking for profit
In one sense it is a charitable affair

MILK FEVER TREATMENT.

BY this time large number Of cows
will be fresh. Still there are always
calves and fresh COWS in every month
of the year How ere you fixed to han
die that dreaded trouble called milk
fever? 1t can be cured by the Oxygen
method. Most veterinarians are equi7-
ned TO handle it, but you may buy a milk
fever outfit for the farm for about the
price of one vets trip. I've helped to
save the lives of three cows so far with
bicycle pump and a milking tube. In
fact, we used a goose quill for the first
try. All the cows recovered quickly and
seemed little. worse for the sickness. If
taken in time this is a quick and sure
relief. A doctor will do little besides
pumping air into the udder and you can
do that as well.-aFrm Life.

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOME ORCHARD

In selecting varieties of fruit for the
home orchard the personal preferences
Of the grower and his family should re-
ceve first consideration. If the family
prefers Sweet Dough, Porter, ETC.. to
other varieties of their season, it would
be a mistake to leave them out. A sue
cess.on Ct varieties is desirable for the
home orchard lasting over as long a
period as possible.
The following varieties are listed ac-
nco-ding TO their ceason for consumption
PROBABLY no ons would want to plant all
Of them, but a selection from this list is
desirable:

HOUSING POULTRY
DURING THE WINTER

Some poultry houses are built with
curtain in front of the birds on the roost
instead OF on the front of the house. This
Is a. hlistake. The birds give off consid-
cradle moisture during the night and if
1t is confined to the roosting section the
birds will be sleeping under damp con-
ditions. This will induce colds just as
much as a house that is generally damp.
1t Is also objectionable to have them con-
fined SO closely in a space permeated with
vapor from the dropping boards. = 1t is

OIL AND WATER WON'T MIX

A SECOND attempt Is making TO bring
~ about political coalition between farm
and labor organizations. The first was in
Chicago last year and the other was at tho
conference in Cleveland which has just
closed.
These efforts have their origin in the
knowledge that if the farmers and the mem
bers of the labor unions could be consolidated
in solid political force they could elect
legislators who would pass any laws which
they demanded.
But il is unlikely that there can be any
effective union brought about between these
two large groups of citizens. There are
two reasons for il. One IL that III" farmers
are American citizens before they are
farmers. They ar" interested in n score of
things which would not be included in the
program Of n party organized for securing
class legislation. The other is that the spe
cal interests of the farmers and Of the labor
unions conflict.
In arranging the votes of the labor dele
gates at the Cleveland conference thirty
nine were allowed :" the railroad workers,
twenty six to tho clothing workers, twenty
10 the marhinists and ten to the electrical
workers and smaller numbers 10 other
groups.
The railroad workers demand high wages,
aud high wages cannot be paid unless freight
rates are high. Now. high freight rates are
the very thing against which the farmers
ar" protesting. They say that when they
send their products to market there is
nothing left for them after the freight bill
is paid. Indeed, they have been telling the
story Of a Western sheep grower who sent
several carloads Of sheep to Chicago
and after they we're sold got n bill for
balance due on the freight charges in excess
of what the sheen sold for.
The labor people may say that this condi-
tiOn would y" rcmcdird if tho Government
would take over the railroads and carry farm
IroGrctS at loW rnir. while it 'Vail high
wages to the mon who operated the trains.
This would produce a deficit which would
have to be- mot out of general taxation.
levied. according 10 theory Of the extreme
labor mon. on the very rich who have no
rights that tho Government is bound to
respect. But there are both labor men and
farmers who think clearly enough to know
that this remedy would ne worse than the
disease II is intended 10 cure.
The clothing workers likewise want high
wages anl cheap food and the farmers want
10 buy clothing at low prices and TO soil
thor product at high 0rC"-. II il difi-

but the moment they seek remedy which
will satisfy one group they will discover that
II Is q remedy that is hateful 10 the other.
Ont oT the discussion. however, there may
emerge u realization that a class party will
DO more harm than good.

NOMEN'S RIGHTS IN COURT

T1IIE decision of the Wisconsin Supreme
i Court on the State law passed in 1921,
making women the equals of men before the
law, deserves the attention of every one In
terested in the feminist movement
The decision was handed down in a case
IN which n mans wife had signed note
with her husband. and it is to the effect
that the Wife i liable for payment Of the
note if the husband defaults. In shor;. ii
puts the wife on III" Same footing rs amy
other citizen who becomes joint surety with
a man for the payment OF debt. u nder the
old law the wife was NOT he'd separately
liable in such case, OF the theory that L
man and his wife are one.
The wife fought the case on the ground
that the Equal Rights Law had not repealed
the cd laws granting certain immunities to
women. The Court held that while they had
special protection in the interest Of health,
morals and general welfare, it had repealed
the statutes giving them immunlte~ which
were not based primarily on their soy.
The fulfllmeat of q financial "blIga.ion
Is not matter Of sex, \ law which puts

rally qualities Il woman. whrthcr she be
married OF single, 10 incur financial obiga.
ton, and If she may incur it she can be
compelled to meet it just a If she were
man.
The Court could not very we'll escape from
the logic Of the situation Ii tho Wisconsin
women do not like It they can ask the
Legislature TO change the law.
