At the Shield’s-Thumm building on Franklin street which is to bave & new front so as to conform with the sidewalk line, the workmen have started tearing out sections the rooms on the seeond floor and stair- way leading from the street to the second” floor. The new partition for the second story rooms has been erected in rough form.| Work in the cellar has been underway for several days. Changes to Store. At the market belonging to the C. D. Sevin estate on Broad street changes are underway which will greatly im- prove the property. The market at Dresent consists of two sections, meat and with a store house situ- ated between them. The store house will in the future be used as the grocery department and - the present grocery department will be used as the store house. Maple flooring is being 1aid, and an office is to be built inside the market. George W. Allen has the contract for the changes. BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Operations in_the State During the Past Week. The volume of real esiate business, as shown by the warranty deeds filed last week in the towns reported by The Commercial Record, is about the same as in the corresponding week of last year. For the current week there were 291 sales of real estate, witn mortgage loans of $545,273, comparing with 290 sales and loans of $661,440 in the same week a year ago. Four petitions in bankruptcy, with! assets of $4,426 and liabilities of, $6,034 were filed in Connecticut last week, while during the like week of the previous year there were four peti- tions, with assets of $5,082 and liabil- ities ‘of $13,460, and in 1912, seven pe- titions, with assets of $7,855 and lia- bilities of $60,493. But three new incorporations, with a total authorized capital stock 67,600 were formed in Connecticut the past week, which compares with seven The Drinking Man’s Boast “I can quit any time I wish,” is a frequent expression, but why don't the drinker make good his boast?

There is no need of spraying one's trees this fall unless one has eo many trees that it would be impossible to spray them next spring, or has a bad infection of the san jose scale and other scales. if one has the scale, and many have It it certainly will be advisable to spray for it this fall and again next spring There is a lot of discussion among fruit growers about the value of misc rible oils and lime sulphur for fail been known to state that oil has injured trees when it was applied late fall or ‘There are many people using one of the olls continually and do not report any such trouble, there- fore one is led to believe that the real cause of the killing of the trees can be traced to other things, or to the fact that the trees were in a rather weak- ened condition when the oil was ap- plied. There is no doubt but what one of the olls can be used for fall spray- ing with greater ease than lime sul- so much more easily, runs into the cracks, over rough bark and behind the t'mds. The oil soaks into the insects on the slight- est contact with them. The oil spray is practically a soap solution as it is applied, therefore it scarcely ever ir- ritates the skin or eyes. The socil is not corrosive, therefore it is not neces- sary to frequently clean the pump. The oil ‘does, however, destroy spray hose sooner than does lime sulphur because it has a softening effect on the rubber. Both the lime sulpbur and the ojl sprays when appiied at the strengtn which will prove beneficial are so e-~cr~ that they will be injurious to the tree unless the tree is in a per- lecuy dormaut condition. Most of our apple trees will not be in such a gdor- mant condition for several weeks. SAME VARIETY OF CORN. Advisable to Select and Maintain One Good Strain. The importance of having all the same variety of corn has been noticed frecuentlv. as the advisers travel over and around the county. Only a few days ago was a lot of seed corn seen hanging as seed for next years use which had been crossed by a different variety grown by his neighbor. No farmer under these conditions can ever expect to get very far in the growing of a high yielding strain of corn when his neighbor is producing a strain un- like or entirely different from his.

The fact that some hens are better than other hens was ly brought out in this 115 eggs per hen, whereas the aver- age yield of the b pen of Leghorns was nearly 209 e per hen. If one compares the experimental pens it is found that the poorest pen of Leghorns yielded 55 eggs each, whereas the best pen yielded a little more than 208 eggs each, thus one is obliged to conclude that some hens are better than other hens. It is interesting to note that in the very last week of the contest the heavier breeds seemed to fini: stronger. Glenview Poultry Farm's pen of Reds from Rockville, Conn., laid more egzs in this last period than any other pen, or a total of 33 eggs. Frederick H, Benton's pen of White Rocks from Wallingford, Conn., and Dr. N. W. Sanborn’s Buff Wyandottes from Holden, Mass., ‘tied for second place for the week with 29 eggs each. Colonial Farm's pen of Reds m Temple, N. H., followed this closeiy with 28 eggs. Connecticut gets first place for best individual work. A White Wyandotte owned by Merrythought Farm of Co- lumbia, Conn., produced 265 eggs dur- ing the year. Massachusetts supplied the second best individual“in a Buff Wyandotte from Holden that laid 246 eggs, and the third best individual for the year proved to be a White Wya1- dotte owned by Neale Bros. of Appo- naug, R. L. Thus it happens that three adjacent New England states have supplied the three best hens in a lay- ing contest which included more than 800 hens from two countries and 15 different states. The blue ribbon or first prize for the year's work has been awarded to Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Conn., whose pen of White Leghorns laid 2088 eggs. The second prize goes to Tom Barron of Catforth, England, whose White Wyandottes laid 2085 eggs for the same period, and the third prize llkewise goes to this same breed- er, whose pen of White Leghorns came third with 2010 egss. The 10 leading pens for the year are as follows: Francis F. Lincoln, ML Carmel, Conn., White Leghorns, 20£8; Tom Barron, Catforth, England, White Wyandottes, 2085; Tom Barron, Cat- forth, England, White Leghorns, 2010; Neale Bros, Apponaug, R. ‘White Wyandottes, 1801; A, B. Brundage, Danbury, Conn. S, C. Rhode Island Reds, 1885; Mar wood Poultry Farm, Butler, Pa., White Leghorns, 1722; Bonnie Brook Poultry Farm, Saratoga, N. Y., White Leghorns, 1704; Cecil Guernsey, East Cobleskill, N. Y., White Leghorns, 1703; Branford Farmis, Groton, Conn., White Leghorns, 701. The following is a list of the 10 best Connecticut pens for the year: Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Whife Leg- horns, 2088; Merrythought Farm, Co- lumbia, White Wyandottes, 1901; A. B. Brundage, Danbury, S. C. Rhode Island Reds, 1885; Branford Farms, Groton, White Leghorns, 1701; __Glenview Poultry Farm, Rockville, White Leg- horns, 1646; Mrs. K. B. Woodruff, New Haven, White Leghorns, 1619; Freder- ick H. Benton, Wallingford, White Plymouth Rocks, 1578; Frederick M. Peasley, Cheshire, White Leghorn, 1561; Thomas W. Moore, Central Vil- lage, White Leghorns, 1548; George A. Cosgrove, West Willington, Whito Leghorns, 1547. Surely in most communities where there is sandy loam, one . variety should be grown to a greater extent than all others. No doubt where the farmer has a great deal of heavy, rich land he may be able to grow a larger variety than on the lighter soils. The same may be true where the farm is S0 situated as to have a great deal of upland or lowland areas, in that case two varieties may be necessary if the largest yields are to be obtained. How- ever, as a general rule, the farmers will benefit themselves by the grow- ing of the same variety, and thus from year to year improve instead of degen- erate- It is hoped that in every com- munity where a great deal of corn is grown that the farmers will get to- gether and select a good strain and thus help the other along. Possibly farmer can supply the town with seed and in that way get a variety which ;s e:“'iremely high in producing yield for APPLE POMACE. Can Be Used With Satisfactory Re ; sults for Corn Silage. From the standpoint of the dairy- man, apple pomace can be used very satisfactorily as a substitute for corn silage. Those who have not a silo and are unable to furnish any succu- lent feed in the ration should, if pos- sible, take advantage this time of the year of apple pomace. The experiments conducted by the Massachusetts and Vermont Experi- ment Stations in feeding this by-pro- duct showed that the analysis and di- gestibility compared very favorably with good silage. Where as high as 35 pounds of the pomace was fed per day good results were obtained. The former station values four pounds equal to one pound of good hay. Like the feeding of other feeds, It is wise to accustom the animal to the new feed before le?inl very heavily— thus not over 10 pounds per day should be fed at first and gardually increasing the amount from day to A comparison of the analysis of the Ppomace and silage may be of interest to some: Apple pomace—Water Dper cent., 80.80: protein per cent, .97; carbohyd- rate per cent., 13.38; fat per cent., 1.08. Corn silage—Water per cent., 80 ; protein per cent., 1.70; carbohydrate per cent., 11.10; fat per cent., .70. STORING VEGETABLES, Those who have only a few. Complish this by wrapping the heads in newspapers and placing them upon shelves in a cool cellar. Those who have a large amount to store and want to store them for a long period should bury them in pits out of doors. Many housewives use a lot of pars- ley for winter garnishing. In order to have a continuous supply of this ‘material lout some very. int Orders for, apples continue to come in from consumers in both - Norwich and New as a result of the letters sent out by the agent in re- gard to the same. This plan facts. One is that the consumers are either not ready to save money by this method of producer direct to the con- sumner or that they have not proper facilities to store fruit. There has not been one quarter the response to the opportunity that there should be. is| there a family in either city that can- not afford or could not use apples at the prices quoted. Something is radically wrong but perhaps it is still due to another cause and that is that the public has not the faith/in the! apples and fruit produced locally. Most orders come in with the condi- tion that they be hand picked and sprayed fruit. Several -eople state that if this transaction is satisfactory they will purchase other supplies from the farmers in large quantities. This shows what the possibilities are. On the other hand the notice to the producers who have A No. 1 fruit, carefully picked and sprayed and packed right, has failed to bring but one or two responses and even then the farmers are loath to stand back of their product. This shows that the farmers having this fruit have no trouble to market it but it is these! farmers and these alome that °the agent will turn his orders over to. There is too big a principal at stake to risk sending out any apples that we cannot stand behind. The agent pro- poses to inspect the product and put| his O. K. stamp before it is delivered to_the consumer- The market is here, let all the pro- ducers resolve to produce a better grade of fruit next year and take pro- per care of it and .we will guarantee that he can dispose of it. Milk Production in Courtland County, N. Y. Upon his return from Chicago, Where the agent attended the National Dairy show, he stopped off in Syra- cuse and went southward to Court- land County, N. Y., to study the milk situation there. This trip proved very interesting and_instructive. The base price of milk there is much be- low that received by the farmers of our county who ship to distant cities. Yet the farmers are all prosperous, contented and up-to-date, and the question immediately arises, how do they do it? The answer lies in a few things, more cows, better cows, and business principal The average base price for the next six months 1s $1.47 for a 40 quart can. This amounts to about 3, 7c per quart. To be sure they would like more money for their product. We Will' confess that it is not enough but the farmers instead of epending their time complaining about the price, g0 ahead and take off from the cost of production and in that way make their business pay better. Nearly every farmer keeps over 20 head of stock, some keeping up to 50 and 60. This allows them to do busi- ness on big enough scale to take ad vantage of discounts on large amounts ¢f goods and reduces the over-head charges. Also there is a decided preference toward the Holstein cow or at least 2 big perecentage of that blood. To be sure they have some other breeds to mix with but at the same time they are breeding for a high fat producing strain of holstein grades. Most all farmers use pure-bred bulls. They claim they can't afford to use any other kind. These cows are all high producers and they are the ones that make the money come In at the end of the month. Most of the communities have cow testing associations. One farmer told the agent that that was the only pro- fitable way to produce milk. In the short period of two weeks after the testing association was established he had eliminated four cows and with the help of the cow tester was producing more milk with them out of the herd than he was previously. They also saved much money by buying grain together and buying acording to the cow testers directions. It would seem that we here in New London County can gain much from the lessons uf that community. If any one was to Visit out there he could not help com- ing away filled with enthusiasm for the dalry industry and the wonderful dalry cow. Every farmer has a big barn, his cattle look sleek and con- tented. He has nice horses and car- riages and in many cases automobiles. In other words it shows that he is e e L T stored in a hot place they will lose ;erlgflt rapidly and will start to decay CONNECTICUT CROPS.

Here is a lesson for New London county. If we farmers all get together say in communities and plant one va- riety of potatoes, then we can ship to markets cooperatively in carload lots. The market tor!pom.toe-mls uwm, good, varying of course some ex- tent. Instead of that the conditions found here as that some forty varie ties of potatoes are planted. No one raising enough to ship in quantities and allow the use of modern ma- chinery. to reduce the cost of produe- tion. Also one farmer raises turnips for a cash crop, another onions, an- other fruit and so on. 'We must strive for uniformity and larger pre Tile Drainage. In coming through New York state, the agent noticed many farmers now busy with drainage propositions. Many are spending the fall months while the water content of the soil is compara- tively low, in ditching and laying tile. A great deal of the wet areas of the farms in this county would be the most profitable land if the whole farm is properly drained. Then why not spend $25 to 350 on land that soon would be worth $100? On most of the land tiles laid 100 feet apart would be sufficient to drain the water but if that was not adequate laying them 50 feet, and ‘at a depth of three would not be a very expensive proposition and would be sure to pay interest on the investment. As the League in Hamp- den county, Mass., quoted,—As an in- vestment there is nothing that will return greater interest on the amount invested and afford more satisfaction than will tile drainage. Suppose that during a rotation of cornm, potatoes, and three years of grass, that we con- sider the increased yield per ‘acre. There would undoubtedly be an - crease of 10 bushels corn, 25 bushels potatoes, and a half a ton of grass to say nothing of the superior quality which would be obtained. Consider- ing the values of these increases of corn and potatoes at 80 cents and of hay at $20 per ton, there would, be an increase-in five vears of farm products to the value of $58, or an increased value of $11. This means at the rate of over 30 per cent interest on the investment. Surely from a business man’s standpoint this is an excellent outlay of money. ‘There are many -questions to com- sider howeve before deciding te drain and the agent either will help you eolve the question or put you in touch with those who can. Corn Night at the Norwich Grange. Next Wednesday night, the 1ith, is corn night at the Norwich grange. All farmers in the county who have corn they think is worthy of a prize should send this in to compete for prizes of- fered by the New London County Fair association. Potash for Next Year. All indications point to the fact that. potash will be very high next year. In driving over the county it will be noticed that on many farms their chief source of potash is being wasted in large quantities. The liguid ma- nure from the etable has a large per cent. of potash and how muny rarmers lose the bulk of this valuable consti~ tutent by allowing the urine to run ?fl. It is reckoned that as now - herd of cows, 24 in number, produces 600 pounds of potash. It would re- quire several tons of commercial fer- tilizer to make this up yet the farmers are losing this every year. A little extra work in concreting the bara mloor or better still making a concrete manure pit would put many dollars in th pocket of the farmers. CATARRH TRUTH TOLD IN A SIMPLE WAY Without Apparatus, Inhal, Salves, Lotions, Harmful Drugs, Smoke, or Electricity. HEALS DAY AND NIGHT It is 2 new way. It is something ab- solutely different. No lotions, sprays or sickly smelling salves or creams. No atomizer or any apparatus of any Kind. Nothing to smoke or inhale. No steam- ing or rubbing or injections. No elec- pal farm crops of Connecticut for this year. The estimates are based on crop conditions’ during the early part of October. The final figures will be given out within a short time, but is reported that they will not differ o any great extent with the preliminary estimates. According to the figures the yleld per acre of the principal crops of this state in 1914 will be as follows: Corn 51 _bushels; Buckwheat 22 bushels; Irish Potatoes 142 ‘bushels; Tobacco 1,850 pounds- HAY. Connecticut farmers produced 469,- 000 tons of tame or cuitivated hay during 1914, acording to the nrelimin- ary estimates made by the United States Department of Agriculture. The vield last year was 432,000 tons. The product is selling for an average of 32150 per ton, compared with $18.50 per ton in 1918. According to the re- port the average price of a ton of in Connecticut is higher that in any other state. The yield per acre this season is 1.26 tnos and the quality is not as good as that of the average crop of the past ten years. WINTER CELERY. Many farmers have a few rows of celery plants which they want to get as much from as possible. Not being able to use all of it this fall before the ground freezes and desiring celery late in the winter, some method storing -must be adopted. The plants may be dug, outer leaves removed and the plants set in soil or sand and placed in a cool dry cellar corner. The' its will continue to grow and will form white, tender stalks for winter use. _Care ehould -be exercised in watering not to wet the leaves, as this causes decay. 7 FA FACTS.
