The concrete supports for the new steel tank which the Texas company 1s to erect at the foot of White street are now completed and the workmen are awaiting the arrival of the tank. As socn gs it arrives it will be set up and will be ready for use within a week after it is unloaded from the flat car. The fank is to be 10x30 feet and will have a capacity of 17,000 gallons. The concrete supports, six in number, are about three feet high, above the ground, and about three feet in thick- ness at the base. Thé location is ideal, as the tank will be in close proximity to the railroad tracks, and there is a long spur track, just to the west, which may be used for tank cars. Carpenters are now engaged in bullding a high wooden fence about the property. J. H. Dickson of the Texas company is in general charge of the construction work. Doing Inside Work. At the Rinella building on North Main street the plastering is now com- pleted and the carpenters are putting up the wainscotting in the stores. The building has been wired for electricity. Norwich had three sales of real es- tate the past week and the same num- ber a year ago. The mortgage loans totalled $1,050 last week and $9,050 a year ago. In New London there were four realty transactions last week, to six a year ago; the loans for the respec- tive weeks being $1,500 and $4,500. NEW LONDON. H. R. Douglas Inc.

BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Good Showing in Comparison With Same Week Last Year, Real estate sales in the towns re- ported in The Commercial Record for the past week numbered 274, against 205 for the same week of 1914, with mortgage loans amounting to $630,277, as compared with $1,109,988 a year ago. In the number of mew corporations formed in the state, and the authorized capitalization, there is a good increase. Thirteen new joint-stock companies are reported in the past week, with capital of $1,282,500, The record of bankruptcy petitions is more nearly normal, but five having been filed during the past week, with assets of $6,315 and liabilitles of $17,761. While the number is slightly larger than previous reports for the same week, the percentage of assets to_liabilitles makes a better showing. Building permits granted in the four leading cities of Connecticut for the past week make a good showing in comparison with previous years. Dur- ing the week permits were issued in New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury for 94 operations, the cost of the buildings being $256,190. These figures compare with 39 permits for the first week of March, 1914, for bufld- ings costing $51,635, and 61 permits in 1813, for buildings costing $208,605. Some of the more important pro- jects which have been placed under contract during the week are store and tenement blocks in Bridgeport and Hartford, parish house in New London, church, building in Hartford. garage ‘in Bridgeport, remodelling of block in Bridgeport, residences in Hartford, New Haven, Westport and Norwalk. and one, two, three, six, eight and nine-family houses in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, and Ansonia. Plans are reported for a new library building in Seymour, church in Taft- ville, residences in New Haven, Bridge- port and New London, stores in Bridgeport, store and apartment block in Hartford, fire engine house in New Haven and two and _three-family houses in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford, New Britain GROTON. H. R. Douglas, Inc, has taken the contract for an additional building at the plant of the Ship & Engine Co., the plans for which are by Architect Dudley St. C. Donnelly. The new structure will consist of an _elevator tower and bridge between the main office and machine shop, and will be of brick, concrete and steel. The Ber- lin Construction Co. will furnish and erect the steel work and the Otls Ele- vator Co. will install the elevator. WATERFORD. The passing of a vote in town meet- ing in Waterford Saturday, by which the town pledges itself to purchase a slte for $2,800 and to erect a school building = thereon costing $18,000, means the consolidation of two school districts and the elimination of two school buildings and the saie of the property upon which they stood. The new school building will be located in the centre of the Quaker Hill dis- triot, EAST HAMPTON. T. H. Sellew of Cromwell has taken the contract for the erection of an ad- dition to Chatham Hall for the Chat- ham National Bank.

ERE 5 daing medium in gntisctioue baly -.-‘i‘ e ap-‘v-v “to The Bui- In this modest cottage many of the charming and homelike characteristics peculiar to the Colonial style of archi- tecture have been incorporated. It is Intended, however, s a rather modern interpretation, for stucco is employed on the first story, while shingles are used on the second. This is a pleasing combination which will be found en- tirely practical in a house of this char- acter. The exterior of this cottage depends for its attractiveness upon a portico of pleasing proportions, a large piazza with extended front, and upon a sym- metrical grouping of windows. The Judicious use of brackets and trim is a feature of the exterlor, quite as'im- Dortant in carrying out the Colonial effect as the handsome columns or the delightfully simple dormers, Referring to the floor plans, it be- comes at once apparent that there is a gratitylng absence of waste room, and that the house, although economical in design, 1s well calculated to meet the requirements of the average family. The vestibule, equipped with two coat closets, leads directly to the living Toom, which is 14x19 in size, and pre- sents a number of attractive features, the more important of which are the recessed fireplace and the columned opening to the dining room. A stair- case extends from the living. room to the second floor, while French doors provide a means of access to the piazza. The dining room windows are in pairs, and in direct line with either the columned opening or with _the bullt-in china cabinet. This will be found most effective. Between the dining room and kitchen is a pentry, 5x9 in size, well arranged with cup- boards and suelves, The kitchen is 10x12 and has a storeroom and other modern conveniences. In the back entry will be found the cellar stairs and a place for the refrigerator. On the second floor the least possible amount of hell space has been utilized to “secure comfortable access to the four bedrooms, bath and linen closet. The chambers, which are ample in size, have cross ventilation and plenty of closet room, while the bath is tiled and modernly equipped. There is a mald’s chamber on the tiird ficor, but should necessity require, two other Tooms could bo finished off without en- Ing very great expense. To_effect a saving in interior finish, it is planned to utilize ash or oak in the lving room and yestibule. but hard pine stained natural, or white enamel, in all other portions of the house. The flooring in the living room and vesti- bule should be of oak, but rift pine could prove quite satisfactory in the other rooms. This house may be erected on a small lot. Arrangements have been made with. the architects to furnish estimated cost of construction or any other informa~ tion desired regarding the house illus- trated. They also invite our read: to make suggestions for plans which: they would like illustrated in the fu- ture.. Address all correspondence . to. The Bulletin House Department. ASPARAGUS BEDS. Some Good Advice on Starting, Care and Protection. Concerning small_asparagus beds in home gardens the Rural New Yorker Planting: Asparagus being a hardy perennial, of long life, lasting under favorable conditions 20 years or more it pays to give special attention to the preparation of the soil where it is to remain permanently. The bed should receive an application of two or three inches of well-rotted manure and be either spaded or plowed in as deeply as possible, mixing the manure with the soil as thoroughly as it can be done, and in addition a liberal quan- tity of raw bone meal may be used in the furrow at time of planting with constderable advantage. On account of the soft spongy nature of the roots and their tendency to decay when bruised or broken in the fall, it is not considered good practice by most of the successful growers to plant aspar- agus at that time, as almost invaria- bly much of the planting, is lost through decay in the winter following whereas the spring-set plants seldom if ever are lost from this cause. The planting may be successfully done time in spring from the time the ground is in condition to work up to the time growth starts, but the sooner it is planted after the ground is in g00d condition for working the better the result. When planted in a small way for private use, and particularly when it is necessary to economize on ground space, plant in beds or strip: say six feet wide in which three row are to be planted, a row on each side about 12 inches from the edge and one in the middle of the bed, setting the plants 12 to 14 inches apart in the roy. ‘When the plants are set care should be taken to spread the roots out so that the soil may be easily. worked In among _them, covering the crowns about three inches deep. By _going over the bed every few days with a steel rake, we destroy germinating weeds and keep the beds clean until tho sprouts appear above _ground, when hoe cultivation will be neces- sary. If two beds or more are made running parallel to each other, walks 24 to 30 inches wide should b eleft be- tween them. This method of culture is of course only suitable for the pro- duction of green asparagus. When white sprouts are desired the plants should be set in rows three feet apart and 12 to 14 inches apart in the row. This distance between the rows will be sufficient to admit of ridging. Good clean cultivation is necessary during the growing season and should in no wise be neglected if good grass is to be_grown. Tertilizing: This is quite important, and for the best results must be ap- plied twice each season, early in the spring ar@l at the close of the cutting season, and may be varied with great benefit to the plants. A good coat of fine well-rotteq manure applied in early spring and worked into the soil with a spading fork, (care being taken not to injure the crowns of the plants) and a coat of raw bone meal applied at the rate of half a ton to the acre and_worked into the soil at the close of the cutting season, will give most excellent results. This method of manuring supplies the plants with all the manurlal constituents they need for vigor and the production of first- class sprouts. - ‘Winter protection: While the as- paragus is perfectly hardy in nearly all sect! vet where the ground freezes deeply, it will be quite a ben- efit to the plants if they receive a mulching of forest leaves or strawy manure at the beginning of winter, the plants will go through the winter in better condition and start earlier and with greater vigor in the spring than if they have no protection. This mulching should be removed early so that the spring fertilizing may be done before growth starts. The Argen- tile_is possibly the best all-round variety. STRAWBERRY PROTECTION. Shelters Considered More Advisable Than Orchard Heaters. Prof. C. I. Lewis chief of the Oregon experiment station tells of the value of orchard heaters in strawberry patches as follows: “I hardly believe you will ever get 2 £00d results ~with heaters in berry patches, at least with the ‘e of heaters now on the market. ‘The -heat produced does not spread out, and settle to the ground; it tends to rise, and the strawberry is low down on the ground where it would get the maximum damage. You would have to evolve some system whereby you could keep the heat down low. One grower is going to try running hot water through ditches, like irri- gation ditches, and warm up the ground in that way, and the air close to the ground. That might be feasi- ble, where one has a traction engine, and has lots of hot water, but it would probably be somewhat expensive. It looks to me as though a cheaper way to protect strawberries would be to build shelters. Make light frames, and cover them with cloth, and you could so arange it that these frames could be put over quite an acreage in a short time. It might be possible to devise a heater that would spread the heat more.” Prof. Lewis Is known throughout the country as authority on this and kindred matters. Therefore his sug- gestions ought to be valuable. It looks as if the growers would have to be more careful in selecting their strawberry patch location and hary varieties, and try to get them to bloom later rather than to try to con- trol the danger of frosts by using heaters. FEED FOR PIGS. Experiments Show Value of Rape Hog Raising. A question much asked is How many pigs will an acre of rape carry? Bxperiments have been carried on at various experiment stations to find the value of this crop for hog raising. Should the rape be grown upon good fertile soil which it needs to do its best and seeded early from 15 to 25 hogs can pasture on-an acre Quring one season. Since it is & compara- tively heavy feeder plenty, of plant 054 should be available, otherwise the large growth which it.is capable of making will not be obtained. The Wisconsin experiment station carried on an experiment with.Tape and found that 31 pigs from 4 to 10 months old averaging 101 pounds made daily gains of 1.27 pounds when supplementary 532 poundis. of svain to. overs 300 o s of 0> every 100 pounds gain in weight. Since this crop is not like the clov- ers, a supply of protein obtained| throughithe feeding of digestive tank- age of dbout 10 to 12 cent. of the grain ration is found very satisfac- tory. Care should be taken not to al- low to close grazing of the plants if they desire the plant to continue to make another growth. A good coat- ing of stable manure should be epplied. if available, or if not apply per acre the following: 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 200 pounds of tankage, 200 pounds ‘of acid phosphate, 25 pounds of muriate potash. Drill the seed in Tows of 20 inches apart, or broadcast if more ‘convenient. Less waste will “occur in rows than broadeast. It is AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS excellent green feed for other forms of stock it fed properly. HOT BED COVERS. Suggestions Made for Valuable Mats and Cloths. All market gardeners and farmers who have hot beds have to have some form of mats and cloth for us: It is quite essential to have this cloth waterproof if possible. Prof. Massey recommends using three pints of raw linseed oil, one ounce of acetate of lead and four ounces of resin. Rub the lead acetate up in some of the oil and then add the rest of the oll to the resin. Melt in a pot over a gentle fire and apply with a wide brush to the cloth stretched on a frame. It will be ready for use in 24 hours. Another method is to melt paraffin and pour it into gasoline, away from the fire, of course, and then apply to the cloth with a sprinkler. The gaso- line evaporated and leaves a fllm of parafiin all through the cloth making it waterproof. Another preparation is glue dissolved in water to the con- sistency of thin varnish. Try one pound of glue to one gallon of water and if this is to thin add glue as need- ed. Varnish the cloth lightly on one side with this, covering one side, but not enough to wet the cloth through in any one place. As soon as this is dry apply a thin coat of raw linseed oil. Another method suggested is painting the cloth with one coat of -[PA TSI 4O IYSIE UOMYM 01 [10 Doosull beaten egs have been added per gal- lon of oll. Making Flats for aMrket Garden. This is the season of the year when market gardeners should consider get- ting flats and all other market garden cquipment ready, because it will s be needed. The Market G Journal has the following to the making of flats:— Flats may be procured in different ways. The old idea is to purchass small boxes In Which soap, canned goods, and other articles have been shipped, and to rip these boxes into sections from two to four inches in depth, making the bottoms from other larger boxes, of thin wood. This is an economical way to get the boxes, but it is open to criticsm unless you can secure boxes that run uniform In size, so that the flats may be placed in the frames or on the greenhouse bench without loss of space. A better plan is to procure lumber of a durable character, such as chestnut, and have the material cut to order. The flats can then be made of a uniform size and will fit in frames or on the bench- es of the greenhouse, without waste of space. If these flats are well cared for they should last at least four or five years without repair. After the necessary supply has been provided it will be necessary to make a compara- tively small number of flats from year to vear to keep up the stock.” EIGHTEENTH WEEK IN EGG LAYING CONTEST. Records Up To Present Time at Storrs Are Most Satisfactory. The records of the eighteenth week of the laying contest at Storrs, were most _satisfactory. The total yield for all pens amounted to 3454 eggs which is 143 better than for the pre- ceeding week and 214 eggs more than for the corresponding week last year, thus the yield for all pens was a lit- tle better than 49 per cent. With the approach of spring and the almost perfect condition of the birds it is be- lieved that the production for the coming week will go well above 50 and perhaps as high as 55 per cent. The four top pens for the week were all seperated by the very narrow mar- gin of one egg. Barron's English Wyandottes were first with a vield for the week. The Storrs Station’s_ex- perimental pen of Rhode Island Reds followed this with a lay of 54 eggs. Branford Farm's White Rocks from Groton, Conn., came next with a pro- duction of 53, and Dr. E. K. Conrad’ Light Sussex from Hackensack, N. J., laid 52 eggs during the week. Four pens of four different varieties owned by four different breeders from four different states succeeded in passing the 500 egg mark during the eighteenth week. These pens were Clark’s Barred Rocks from Connecti cut, Robinson's Leghorns from New York, Colonial Farm's Rhode Island Reds from New Hampshire, and Bar- ron's_Wyandottes from England. A Buff Leghorn hen was reported last week as having laid only 3 eggs, all of which taken together weighed less than a standard two ounce egg: Strangely enough this same hen laid only one egg during the last week and as before her product was only about one-fourth normal size. This hen cannot of course continue this per- formance long without disqualifying herself for the purpose of the competi- tion. Numbers of inquiries are now being recelved by the management of the contest for hatching egs from the va- rious pens. These cannot be supplied because there are no male birds in any of the pens on the competition plant, hence the eggs are infertile and therefore unsuitable for hatching. The ten leading pens to date are as follows: Ed Cam, Hoghton, near Pre: ton, England, White Wyandottes 667; Hiliview Pouitry Farm, St. Albans, Vt. Rhode Island Reds 621; Tom Barron, Catforth near Preston, England, White Wyandottes 504; Merritt_ M. Clark, Brookfield Center, Conn., Bar- red Rocks 543; A. P. Robinson, Cal- verton, N.
