Need Uniformity
in States Rules
Poultry Industry Retarded
by Great Difference in
Regulations.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
The poultry-breeding industry of the
United States is making a determined
effort to bring harmony out of the con-
fusion that now exists because of the
differences in the rules and regulations
applied to certifcation and accredita-
ton Of flocks in the various states. I'm
der present conditions when a prospec-
tive purchaser of Matching eggs, baby
chicks, or breeding stock comes across
the word accredited or certified" In
connection with the advertised flocks,
he does not know just what factors
were taken into consideration to certify
or accredit these focks, unless he is
familiar with the regulations govern
ing such work in each state. The
great difference in methods, plans, and
rules governing the accreditation and
certification Of poultry in the different
states is serving to retard the progress
sive development of the industry and in
unfairly shielding some breeders whose
aocks are certified under less stringent
rules than others.
Difference in Regulations.
At present there are % states which
have adopted regulations for certifica-
ton and accreditation of flocks. The
difference that exists between the regu-
lations in these states is seen in the
case Of baby chicks. In one state
chicks are sold by grade based on the
production Of the parents; in another
case two grades Of chicks are offered,
one grade being from accredited flocks
that are not tested for bacillary white
diarrhea, and the other grade from
flocks that have been tested and are
found free from the disease. In an
other state chicks are sold on basis
of four grades according to the grading
Of the adult birds, and the grading or
the adult birds is based on their gen
eral qualities. Still another sells certi-
fed as well as two other grades of
chicks, the certified chick being pro-
duced from certified males mated to
certified females, while of the other
two grades the first are chicks pro-
1uced from old hens mated to certified
cockerels, and the second grade are
chicks produced from certified pullets
mated to certified cockerels.
Committee Makes a Survey.
The general committee appointed to
co operate with the poultry office Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has made n survey in which
this same degree of difference in state
rules and regulations was found to
exist in regard to Matching eggs and
breeding stock as well as baby chicks,
The committee is Of the opinion that II
the states can get together to discuss
these differences much can be done to
stabilize the poultry-breeding industry.
Also, from the standpoint of interstate
commerce in Matching eggs, bacy chicks,
and breeding stock, the committee feels
that uniformity in the state rules and
regulations concerning the accredita-
ton identification work is necessary If
poutrymen are to retain this business.

Sheep Business Subject
to Market Fluctuations

The sheep business, like all other in
dustries, is subject to market f1uctua-
ton, periods of low prices being fol-
lowed by higher prices and lucrative
returns Since the last depression in
1922 sheep have been one of the most
profitable classes of farm live stock.
Many express the opinion, therefore,
that after this year we will see lower
prices. No doubt there will be con-
siderable fluctuation in the market and
dry weather may cause a sufficient
liquidation to temporarily demoralize
the market this fall. This should if ii
develops, provide an excellent oppor-
tunity to lay the foundation for farm
flock and at the same time should be
an incentive to every man who is in
the business to retain his flock if at all
possible to do so.

Starting Sweet Glover
With Corn in the Fall

Starting sweet clover in corn at
time of last cultivation is good
practice provided it can be done.
There is rarely a season, however,
when sweet clover or any other of
the clovers give good stand when
sown in corn at this time. If the sea-
son is very favorable, with consider
able rainy weather, stand is some
times secured. AS rule, not much of
this clover is alive the following
spring, though sometimes it gets
through the winter.
On some land it is much easier to
get sweet clover started with corn
than on other types of land. A soil
may be poor for corn but rich for
sweet clover, and on such land it is
comparatively easy to get the clover
started with corn; but on good corn
land that will grow 80 bushels or
more Of corn, it does not pay to de-
pend on getting sweet clover started
IN the cornfeld.

Silage and Alfalfa Hay
Splendid for Dairy Cow

Silage and alfalfa hay form the
basis of a splendid ration and cows
will do fairly well on these feeds alone.
To obtain the best results, however,
some grain should be fed. Since there
is plenty Of oats and barley we would
suggest mixture consisting of equal
parts by weight of ground barley and
ground oats, and then feed about one
pound of this mixture for each three
and one-half pounds of milk produced,
Soy-bean hay is nearly equal to al
falfa for feeding the dairy COW. II
is practically the same composition,
The soy-bean hay is a little coarser,
and on account of this the cows may
waste a little more of it than they
would of the alfalfa hay

Mineral Mixtures Help

There are on the market number
of commercial mineral mixtures which
have recently been especially com
pounded for poultry feeding. 1t will
probably be the easiest for the aver
age poultryman to secure his minerals
by purchasing them In this form. BE
sure that you are getting well-known
mixture, and feed it strictly according
to instructions. Most of these mineral
mixtures contain, in addition to those
mentioned above, other mineral ele.
nents, such as sulphur, which I'm.
dout tedly have a definite place.

Production of Quality
Cream Important Point

Proper washing and scalding OF
cream separators after the milk Is
run through them reduces the bae-
terra in the cream one-half and the
keeping quality of the cream is great
ly increased according to the results
of an experiment recently conducted
by the dairy department at South Da-
kota State college.
With cream grading becoming h
more common practice, the production
of high-grade cream is one of the i'm.
pertant points in successful dairying.
Realizing this fact, the dairy depart
ment undertook to determine what eff.
feet the care and cleanliness of the
separator had to do with the produc-
ton of quality cream.
Two separators were used in the ex.
pertinent One was washed and scald,
ed after each separation while the 9th.
err one was only rinsed. Cream sep.
arated u hours later in the separator
that was only rinsed showed an aver
age bacterial count of 10,S0O,0O0 per
cubic centimeter. Cream from the
same milk separated in the machine
thoroughly washed and scalded
showed a bacterial count of only g..
100000 and the flavor and keeping
quality was far better.
The skim milk in these trials
showed even greater difference in
the bacteria present. When the ma.
chine was not taken apart and washed
for two separations, the bacterial con.
tent showed a greater increase.

Story of Zorooster

Zoroaster was one of the great
teachers of the East and founder of
what may be called the national re-
ligion Of the Perso-Iranian people, that
is, speaking generally, the Persians.
When he lived and taught is not exact
~ known, but 1t Is held that it was
between the years 1000 B. G. and 600
b. G. He taught a dualism of power,
one good and the other evil. Light
represented the former and darkness
the latter. AS corruption grew up, the
sun became worshiped as the great
source of light and, therefore, of all
good.

CONGRATULATIONS TO
 CHORAL SOCIETY

The congratulations of the city is due the New Britain Choral so- ciety for the magnificent concert given in this city yesterday after noon. Such resoundlng choral sing ing was never heard in this city for 80 years --- or since "rhe Mes siah" was previously sung here. The truth of the matter is, the choruses in this masterpiece are in q class by themselves. No one ever produced such massed effects as Handel did in his great oratorio. and the more they are heard and anaIyzed the better this is realized. The "Hallelujah" chorus is more than a marvellous outburst of sound, Its "hallelujahs" are built upon the keynote of Christian faith.
 The chorus was large enough to be heard 10 advantage against the large Boston Festival orchestra even in the tuttis. But there is no denying the fact that the accom- panimont of the orchestra greatly enhances the beauty of the music as sung. We have heard tho Han del work performed with organ on several occasions, but 1t can be said with no chances of contradic- ton that it is nothing like having the scinlillating vio'ins anl the bIare of the brass to help in the production
 The soloists were cmincntly satis- factory, tho chorus brought glory upon itself in every bar i, sang, the orchestra was superb, and the directing of the vast enterprise by Nr. Iaubin q remarkable achieve mcnt. "The Messiah" is not ire qurnuy smE with such a high rp- gard for the nlcotios of intcrprcla. ton, and for this the director rc. ccivns tn" commcndation.
 The concert yesterday was z great civic event, the cpitomc O a civic art enterprise, The chora society and ifs directors are cn r''rl to thc maximum of praise ro making thc event possible.

when Kaplan and Herman had q boxing tiff for some kind of cham pionship. It was a great battle, as such things go, hut the New York sporting writers saw no justice in it They had merry old time pan ming Connecticut about 1t and as there was no law against such un- scemIy conduct they didn't let up until their gas ran out.
 But when one Berlenbach and q gent by the name of Delaney e- known as "thc Bridgeport French man" -- had a tiff in New York City Friday night the opportunities for banning the New York system of deciding pri2chghts wore vastly greater than Connecticut ever of- fcred.
 It seems that the New York box ing commission changed the rule about how such things were to be decided. Instead of a decision on points, the decision was 10 be by rounds; that Is to say, which bat tier won the most rounds would win the fight, irrespective of how many points he won. The result was that there was general dis. agreement as to who actually won the great battle, although the rec. ord has it Bcrlenbach was the vic tor
 Considering that Berlenbach was nearly knocked out at one stage of the battle, and was taking the count of nine when he suddenly de- cided to get up, Delaney meanwhile refraining from again knocking him down when he could have done so, 1t seems clear that Berlen- bach was a remarkably lucky fel- low. Had the fight been decided on points the Bridgeport man would have won 1t hands down.
 But how did the New York sport critics handle the situation? Did they pan anybody? Did they critl- else the boxing commission or the referees. Not exactly; everything done in New Yoork is naturally all right,
 If the same thing had occurred i in Connecticut they would have been saying it was all one could expect from ''tho Connecticut farmers"

PECULIARITIES OF
STATES CITIES

Connecticut cities not only have individuality in their general lay out, plan or lack of 1t anl the particularitics that cngender re- gionaL state and sometimes na- tional fame, but they also have an individuality in their politics. The Ansonia Sentinel, which has invcs- tiGatcd their political peculiariHcs iS authority for the declaration that "nobody ever demonstrated very clearly the sense of ninc varic- ties Of election for the q Conncc- ticut cities, but such they have. as 10 dates"
 But not only as to dates, but there arc some other pcculiaritics, hs tho sentinel onmcratcs them, to wit:
 Putnam elected, if it can hr called an election which consisted in ratification of an endorsement by both parties of the man who has now been chosen for the third time as mayor That manner of agreeing on d good man without pickering and without excitement, as the pcopl" up there do on Vic tor Chapdolainc, has a drnifoI oId-WOrlG tone which should be ap- proved hy Connecticut, though it does not Socm much imituIed Ihou"h Rockville comes somewhat in that class by ifs virtually Uncon- tested return of Mayor Cameron. Tbc WillimauUc ease was more of contest, MorlIrn was having it out yesterday.
 1 "A view of those cases tends to discount inc notion of some per sons that city elections indicate anything as 10 the general trend of politics. In every case, as in all of tho Connecticut city elections which have taken place this year, the issues are local, and it is q choice of issues or of personalities This is one of tho reasons, no doubt, why some Connecticut cities preserve thoir individuality as tc
 dates of clcction.'
 New Rritains pcculiaritos will bD noted next spring, whcn the city election takes place. We are al- ready receiving some pcculirr kinds Of static oyor the political radio.
