Four Free Lessons 
On Floor Painting 
T O anyone who will write us, 
we will gladly send a little 
booklet on Floor Paint Lessons. 
Four in all, two being excep¬ 
tionally good. 
Fortunately, the good ones 
are just the ones that you most 
want. 
They will tell you how to 
paint your floors in a lastingly 
satisfactory way. A way that 
is easy and quick. 
They will tell you exactly the 
facts you should know about 
Floor Paints in general, and 
Lowe Brothers in particular. 
It will tell you how to quickly 
have a beautiful smooth, glossy 
surface, that will wipe up the 
same as if it were glass. 
The name of this paint is 
Lowe Brothers Hard-Drying 
Floor Paint. Dries hard enough 
to use, in 12 to 24 hours. 
Sold by the one best dealer 
in each town.

EGG LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is tlie same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the num¬ 
ber of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1. at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Feeding Capons; Storrs Ration 
1. Would! you give me a good 1 formula 
for feeding capons and young pullets on 
open range; also a good ration for fatten¬ 
ing capons? I have two large hoppers 
which I intend to keep before them con¬ 
stantly. 2. Can you also give me the 
formula for scratch feed used at the lay¬ 
ing contest at Storrs? F. B. at. 
Rhode Island. 
1. Young capons on range are fed for 
growth and bone, as pullets are; wheat 
and corn for hard grains and some such 
growing formula as equal parts by weight 
of eornmeal, ground oats, wheat bran, 
wheat middlings, and beef scrap as a 
mash. The latter may be kept before 
them dry and fed once daily in a moist 
condition if it is desired to hasten growth 
and development. When capons are to 
be fattened, they should be shut up or 
placed upon restricted range, and corn- 
meal, ground oats, ground barley and 
other specially fattening foods given in 
greater quantity. 
2. The scratch feed at Storrs consists 
of two parts cracked corn to one. of 
wheat. Their mash is the one described 
above, with the addition of a further part 
of gluten feed. M. B. D,
