the story, he has an intellectual ap- preciation of development in the plot and of the beauty of the language"
 ''The cultivation of taste becomes more important when one leaves the field of fiction and enters those of poetry and the estay. The un- trained person usually has little lik- ing for poetry and does not read poems unless they are very emotion al or very funny, and does not read essays unless they are simply funny. Yet, once . person has been. taught to realize the pleasure which comes from . contemplation of beauty either in poems or essays, and the moro subtle but keener pleasure which comes from the stimulus to intelligence of good descriptive writ ing, he is inclined to hnd all but the best fiction tame.
 "One further advantage of educa- ton in relation to literature, is that the mind by exercise is trained to grasp abstract thought and profit from it. This is in itself one of the great goals of study, and it brings with it many rewards. moral and material. It allows one to profit quickly and pleasantly from the work others have done in his be- half. and in his turn to work for the benefit of others. ....
 Finally, education. both on ac-
 IA taste and because 1t gives the stu dent . knowledge of what has been done, opens up the great storehouse of knowledge and beauty contained in the books of the past. This allows one to share the pleasures of the greatest minds of all time. and. al- most as important, to use their knowledge for building for the tuture.'

Gil Plans Mexican Prohibition
 In Five Years; Campaign Starts

It is the presidents contention that prohibition will be best achieved in Mexico by accustoming the Mexi- can people to it little by little. While his views on liquor have been made known heretofore they have had the aspect of temperance. rather than prohibition. For this reason his an- nouncement late yesterday of a pol icy contemplating prohibition caused considerable surprise.

 Washington, D. C.. May 1S-Some of Connscticut's leading industries. totally neglected or siven only par tial protection under the provisions of the new tariff bill. will be force- fully called to the attention of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives this week by Congressmen James P. Glynn of Winsted, E. Hart Fenn of Wethers- field, Schuyler Merritt of Stamford and Richard P. Freeman of New London.
 The house committee. in order to stem sthe rising tide of discussion which has resulted from it's failure to provide for the relief of certain industries in framing the new tariff measure, is holding executive meet ingsto afford complaining congress men the opportunity of presenting their views and recommendations In this manner, it is hoped to iron out many difficulties seen to exist in the bill, before it is brought to a vote in the House and passed, on to the Senate for adoption by that body.
 The alarming influx of various types of hardware into the United States from Germany and Czecho- slovakia, with its resultant effects upon the domestic industry, will be explained to the committee by Con- gressman Glynn, in an endeavor to bring about inclusion in the bill of added protection for one of Con- necticut's foremost industries.
 Congressman Glynn will urge an increased tarin on upholstery nails, chisels. drills, other edged tools, and other hardware. vitally affected by the competitive sale in this country of foreign hardware.
 Metal buttons for uniforms and other purposes. which have hodded the United States in recent years from Czechoslovakia, also will be brought forcefully to the attention of the committee by the Connect icut congressman.
 Congressman Merritt will insist upon the retention of wire netting in the basket clause" of the new bill. which provides for an increase of 100 per cent over the present tariff. Under the bill's provisions. the tariff of 50 per cent ad valorenl provided. may be increased by the president to as much as 75 per cent.
 Some importers. however, have brought suit to take the wire net tihg out of the basket clause and make t duttabls at e5 per cent ad valorem, and the presidents power to iacreass would be limited to at 37 1-e per cent ad valorem. or less than provided by the bill. MT. Mer- ritt desires m increase in the tariff 70 q to prevent the possibility of the duty being lowered through the courts.
 Congressman Fem will ask that the duty on imported wrapper to- bacoo be increased from. t2.le per 100 pounds to tt.00. in order to ade- auately protect the domestic indus try tR the cepnecticut valley. su.- matS( wrapf&s imported into this couRtry average between six and ssvsA' million pounds annually, and are aa serious menace to local grow

possible chance they carry any inter
nal parasites.
If the lambs are to be born strong
and vigorous, a moderate amount of
exercise is necessary for the ewes
during the winter.
Early spring lambs to be fattened
for market should be given grain
when three or four weeks old. A
creep should be built where the lambs
may go to get their grain at any
time.
By following the plan of creep
feeding, lambs may be marketed
earlier at a higher price.
Successful sheep raisers have found
that rigid culling of aged ewes and
light producers is good practice for
the immediate Improvement of their
flocks.
Late Potatoes Successfully Produced
Late potatoes are most successfully
and economically produced on land
where a regular crop rotation is prac-
ticed. Leguminous crops such as
clover or alfalfa are the best prepar-
atory crops. 1t is better to pillow a
clover or alfalfa sod under in late
summer or early fall, rather than in
the spring, except where the land is
subject to washing during the winter.

All Barns Need Plenty of Air and
Sunlight

All Barns Need Plenty of Air and
Sunlight
All barns should have an abundance
of ventilation, sunlight and drainage
Beware of drainage toward or into
the barn or yards from premises pre-
viously occupied by diseased animals
of any kind. Old barns are more apt
to be troublesome. Basement barns,
particularly if built years ago, are
likely to have floors at level below
that of the outside ground levels. This
is dangerous, as it keeps such barns
damp and full of bad air. Easements
require larger amount of drainage
and ventilation than barns built
wholly above ground and on high
ground, with ample natural drain
age of the surroundings. A low base
ment barn may easily drain an area
of two or three hundred feet around
it.
Worthwhile Statements For Thought
The more livestock fed on the farm
the richer the land will become. Good
livestock is the corner stone of better
farming.
In selecting a livestock sire there
are three main considerations to keep
in mind: The individuality Of the an
imal; his pedigree; and the perform
ance of his progeny. The record of the
progeny is the most important con-
sideration, particularly in choosing a
dairy sire.
From every angle in the cattle pro-
duction business, a good sire is a
necessity and a good cow herd is a
great help in the production of beef
that will return profit.
No dairy herd is well managed I'M
less a fairly accurate account is kept
of the quantity of feed consumed. A
convenient and practical way to feed
the grain is to use a cart, with feed
ing charts or cards showing the
amount of feed for each COW. A small
blackboard can be attached to the cart
and the figures chalked on the board
every two or three days. A spring
balance scale suspended above the
cart on an arm is of great help. If
the allowance of silage and hay is
weighed occasionally, the quantity
can be measured with reasonable ac-
curacy.
The system of feeding sheep that is
most economical and most likely to
keep the flock in good condition is one
which provides frequent changes of
good pastures and grazing crops, and
winter rations mainly of good legum-
nous hays, with some succulent feeds.
Grain should be held for feeding in
winter and after the lambs are born
until good pasture is available. One
hundred pounds of grain in year for
one eve and her lambs is about all
that can be used profitably.
If feeces are allowed to become
soaked with rain or wet snow, colds
and pneumonia will surely result. Dry
snow, on the other hand, has no i'll
effect, as the ewes will readily shake
it off.
Ewes Need Care
If you like a good many twins in
your lamb crop see that your ewes
are gaining flesh at the breeding sea-
son-do this in your own way, But
one good way is to change them into
a fresh pasture where grass is abun-
dant ten days before you turn in the
ram. If you do not have good fresh
pasture, some oats and bran will do
| the work for you. OF course you will
carefully drench them if there is a

One of the most dreaded diseases
that attacks the dog is distemper.
In England, dogs are not only a
hobby, but an intensive business.
Necessarily, every precaution has
been taken to stamp out this men
ace. For years there has been six
month quarantine for dogs entering
that country.
There have been numerous pre-
yentive serums on the market and
medical treatment for the active
distemper, but none has proved in
falliable. In many cases, Vigllant
nursing is the reason for recovery.
The distemper germ acts on the fine
nervous system of the dog. conse-
quently a long period of quiet is
necessary during convalescence for
complete recovery.
Millions have been spent trying
to discover a specific for this deadly
germ and people in different coun-
tries have contributed to the fund
for research.
Finally, within the last year, a
new preventive serum has been
given to the world, which has been
in general use for only a few
months. While it still is in its
infancy, it has, SO far, proved highly
efficacious, rendering complete i'm
munity.
This vaccine, is Of course, admin
istered only by expert hands, but it
should be lasting boon to the great
dog world and to the world at large.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16-Keeping out
Of the hospital is the best way to
reduce hospital bills, Michael Davis,
Pm. D., Of Chicago, representing the
Rosenwald Fund, told the twelfth
annual hospital Standardization
conference today.
Sensibilities of the middle-class
man in regard to whether he shall
be in a private room or a semi
private room when he has his ton
sis or appendicitis removed must
be overcome by the hospital, and
not by the patient, DR.. Davis be-
ueves.
Hospital bill, he said, can not be
reduced, and the public should not
be fooled into believing they can.
Criticising the system whereby a
person is presented not only hos
pital bill, but a surgeons bill and a
bill for extras" at once, DR.. Davis
said 1t was mad scramble to see
which got the patients money first.
Some hospitals are charging a
flat rate for maternity cases, he
said, but the cost is not being re-
duced materially. DR.. Davis seemed
to think the baby should be paid for
on the installment plan.
Illness still is an emergency in
the average American home, and
the hospital should institute syS-
TEN whereby the bill could be dis
tributed over the income, he said.
