During the week f1 permits for structures costing $154,- 850 were granted, which compares with 106 permits for buildings costing $183,- 120 granted last year, and 98 permits for buildings costing $211,997 granted in_the like week of 1912. + Ve few contracts of importance have been let during the week, a fc”- story factory In Bridgeport, warehouse in Hartford and residence work in New Haven. Norwich, New London and Hartford bei about the only large work reported. As usual, there s also a nomber of small houses of the two 'and three-family type in various parts of the State.

EGG LAYING CONTEST . NEARING THE CLOSE Leghorns Lead by Narrow Margin of Six Eggs, and One Week to Go. The Wyandottes are continuing the pace. During the slst week of the iaying contest they gained 11 eggs on the leading pen of Leghorns, now thay are but 6 eggs behind. The sour milk pen put in by the Storrs Experiment station gained 7 eggs on the leaders during the week and are nmow only 17 eggs from the top. There seems there- fore very little probability that this experimental pen can get more than third place for the year. The best record for the week was 33 eggs and was made by a men of R. T.

L, followed closely with 28 eggs to their credit and the ex- perimental pen of Leghorns tled with Profitable Poultry’s pen of Hens from Boston with 25 eggs each. The total yield for all pens amount- ed to 969 eggs, or an average of near- ly 1 1-4 egos. for every hen on the plant, at this the most unseasonable period of the year for securing esgs from yearling hens. The majority of poultrymen depend upon . the pullets that were hatched last March, April and May to furnish thelr eggs during the months of October, November and December. Thus, when the new con- test opens with one thousand pullets gathered together for a single purpose, the egg n will e. In preparing the plant for the new birds the manazement of the contest has not. only cleaned out all ~of the houses and sprayed them and put in clean fresh sand but each pen is also beir provided with a new cloth cur- tain. The cloth window in a poultry house is designe~ of course to admit fresh air and yet prevent undesirable drafts, Sometimes poultrymen lose sight of the fact that 'after a cloth curtain has beenyin use for two or three years it be es so filled with dust and dirt that it no loneer serves its purpose. In all such cases the cloth should of course be renewed so as to be perfectly sure that the hens are provided with an abundance cf fresh air. Not only this but the hen house meanwhile is kept drver on ac- connt of the better' ventilation. The ten leadine pens to date are as follows: Franrcis F. Lincoln. Mt. Car- mel.

Good Time While It Is Dry—Benefit from Such Outlay. grains are the best Now, while the usually wet lands are in a dry conditions, is an excellent time to drain these areas, which in an average season are altogether too wet. A great deal of wet land today if drained would be the dest producing areas on the farms. Therefore, wWhy should not $25 to $35 an acre be spent on these areas? On most of the lands, tile laid 100 feet apart and three feet deep would be all that would be needed to_drain the. land sufficiently so that exceilent crops could be produced. Should 100 feet be found too far apart it is easy to place between the tile a third tile, making them 50. f¢ apart, which will in all instances drain the neces- sary -water from ‘the land. As an investment there is nothing' that will return greater interest on the excellent outlay of money. < In nu{ fields production before til- ling would be practically mnothing. whereas after draining the yield would be the best on the farm.

Cow testing aleo pays because sur- plus stock of both sexes selis for high- er prices when huyers can see what the an of these animals have done in the line of milk and butter fat- production. ‘When using the test, farmers may know their cows as individuals and feed s0 as to get the greatest return for every dollar's worth of feed pro- vided. The value of the silo in sup- plying fresh summer succulence dur- ing the winter months, and in helping out when pastures dry up in the sum- mer, is also shown best when cows are under test, FARM MACHINERY: S e Should Not Be Left Where It Is: Ex- posed to Weather. - Have .you left your mowing machine in the shade of the old apple tree?
