BOOKS ON ANTIQUES
 ADDED TO LIBRARY
Two Volumes of Value and Interest Recently Placed Upon the shelye.

Among books recently added to the town library are two of especial in- terest and of great value to all lovers of antiques. These are Wallace Nut ting's Furniture Treasury" (1e2s) in two volumes. The books contain live thousand illustrations. with de- scriptions on the same page as the illustration, of all periods of Ameri- can furniture, hardware, and house. hold utensils, coming as far down as the end of the Empire period. All the articles photographed are now in America and represent twenty-seven states and five hundred collectors; among the pieces are many from small collections which will therefore aid the amateur collector or private owner in identifying and valuing his pieces.
 The author has examined personally ninety-nine per cent of the articles represented, and three thousand of them are here pictured for the first time. The book is we'll indexed. and various articles are grouped together from boxes and chests and chairs. to mirrors and clocks. and brasses. If one owns almost any antique, he is reasonably sure to find it's counter part pictured in these volumes. or at least to find one very nearly like it. It Is hoped the books will be in de- mand very often for reference.

That farm boys today like tractors and won't stay on the farm without them is well known fact, says Nj. E. Tyler, 344 Columbus Avenue. Spring field, Mass, Caterpillar" dealer. A recent letter from a l3-year old Iowa boy to the Caterpillar Tractor Co. tells the pride of all farm boys in the best tractors obtainable. Here is the letter:
 ''I am now thirteen years old and have always lived on a farm. In spring of 1929 my father bought a Caterpillar Tractor.
 'I learned to drive it right away and think it is very easy to drive. l drove it in doing all kinds of farm work in the spring, summer and fall. I also used it for grading roads and making ditches l also used it for l was the engineer.

 Incomes on larger farms will de- pend on their success in producing at low cost. The first essential to low cost is that the most of the time of the labor shall be used in productive work, as, dairy, poultry and silage crops. The crops work included work on alfalfa and legumes, higher pro- duction of silage, use of lime and superphosphate.
 The definite program will be work ed out from these recommendations by smaller dairy committee of the Windham County Farmers Assoeia- ton with the Extension Specialists from Storrs.

Report of the County Dairy com-

Report of the County Dairy com-
 mittee
 On April 9th at the Hampton Grange Hall, thirty-three men of the County Dairy Committee met with specialists from the Connecticut Agri- cultural Extension Service to review the Dairy Survey taken in the county last summer and make plans for County Dairy program.
 While it would take too long an article to give most of the reports from this committee there are few outstanding things that it seems worth while to bring out.
 On disease work it was found that Windham County was fairly free of both mammitis and abortion, as com pared with Hartford County, due to the fact that more cattle were raised in this county. Because of this fact it seemed advisable to try to eradi- cate as much disease as possible through extensive blood testing for abortion and raising of replaeements. Tn this case a definite program on the raising of youngstock would be set up. This type of a program would eliminate the buying in of any cows into a herd. as this is the practice which is rapidly spreading these dis eases.
 In breeding work it was shown that there was definite need to continue the pure bred bull campaign and that larger breeders or cooperating breed CTS keep their bulls until they are ] nptxg the that are proven for high production This keeping of old bulls can be as- sisted by the use of breeding racks and safety bull pens
 In feeding work it was found that s5es of the farmers feed balanced rations but they are feeding in either too large or too small amounts for most profitable production. A pro- gram was also needed to develop more feeding or silage on farms of over ten cows with a limited amount or tillable land. Silage increases the crop production per acre and supplies A succulent feed for the cattle. lt was also found that many farmers were feeding too little or too much | hay and it was recommended that farmers feed hay in amounts that cows will clean up in an hour after feeding. three times daily. A pro gram for the proper cooling of milk [ in insulated tanks with ice in tanks at all times. In this manner the farm CTS would have cooled milk with the use of less ice.
 The farm organizations on 4o9e of the dairy farms were found to be too small to result in a net return of sl,000 per year. The practical way of increasing the gross sales and thus the net income is to increase the size of business in one of two ways | Increase number of cows where

Origin of Superstition

According 10 a writer In the La don Sunday Times the superstition that 1t Is unlueky to open an umbrella in the house has It's origin in Cath olie times. when the priest carried tie viatlcum to the dying person under . small canopy in the form of an umbrsl- Ia. as Is still done in Catholic cocn- tries today. Therefore the open rm- brella in the house became associated with the Idea of death.
