Harry Beebe of East Haddam, who recently purchased the Butler place, N | 14 Otrobando Town, « Norwich has completely remodled the h . The partitions were faken down, the rooms rearranged, the house shingled and painted and a bay win- and veranda added. avenue, WISELY PLANNED EIGHT ROOM COTTAGE - So great is the number of praise- worthy elements incorporated in the cottage illustrated, it might ' prove libelous to single out any one feature as, responsible for the satisfying re- sult. Certainly the haif-timber effect at the gables, the artistic bay and the harmonious window designs contribute thuch to the beauty of the picture. But who will deny that the veranda with its four symmetrical columns is not the most characteristic feature, or clalm that the external treatment of cement stucco and apple green . trim and roof is not responsible, in part at least, for the homelike appearance of the place. Whatever may be the in- dividual opinion, all ‘must agree that this is an ideal cottage, with many ex- cellent qualities contributing to its in- flil:iduallty, character and quiet dig- nity. Passing from the piazza through an entrance door of quartered oak one enters the reception hall, which also serves as the vestibule. Here will be found a hall seat and cloak closet as well as a splendidly conceived stair- case. To the rear of the hall, sepa- rated by the stairway landing, is a lavatory and toilet, while to the right is the llving room. The opening is de- signed for portieres, but should the owner elect, French doors or a colon- nade could be easily substituted. The living room is 15x20 feet, and although it has two group and two single win- dows in addition to a pair of doors leading to the porch, the arrangement permits of plenty of wall space and a large fireplace with window seats at either side. The dining room, which is 13x15 feet in size, is on the front of the house] and is reached from the central hall by means of an opening 5 feet wide. This is a duplicate of the one leading to the living room. The dining room has a china closet with leaded glass doors, and by reason of its two group windows, is one of the choicest rooms in the entire house. A double swing door gives quick access to the kitchen, ‘which s 12x13 feet in size, and has the usual convenlences, including clozet for stores, pantry and back entry, where room 1s provided for the refrigerator. A magnificent master’s chamber, 14x18, is located on the second ficor. There also are two other large cham- bers, a bath, linen closet, four clothes the main chamber. if desired. As there is room for two chambers on the third floor, it may be found expedient to utilize one of the second floor cham- bers for a den. The one at the rear is connected with a sleeping porch, and would be especially well adapted to this purpose_ A basement extends under the entire house and is arranged to accommo- date vegetable cellar,.pantrv laundry and the like. Arrangements have been made with the architects to furnish estimated cost of construction or any other in- formation desired regarding the house | illustrated. They also invite our read- ers to e -~gestions for plans which they would like illustrated in the future. Address all correspondence to Bulletin House Department. closets and an alcove. The latter may be converted into a dressing room for “3scoms nebmivian NEW LONDON. Two Buildings of College Group Near- ly Completed. Two of the first group of buildings of Connecticut College for Women are virtually completed, so far as thelr rough exterior is concerned. The final touches are being given to the roof of Plant hall and it is expected that it will be ready for the lathers by ‘Wednesday afternoon. Allyn hall will be in a similar condition in a few days. The sclence building is not so far advanced but it will not take long to constract the remaining story and a! half. It can now be stated weth cer- tainty that the bulldings will be en- tirely finished and ready to receive their furnishings long befors the date set for opening in.September. To Remodel House. Jacob Goldbers is planning to re- model extensively the dwelling house which he owns in Tilley street. He will convert it into two apartments, one of which he will occupy himself. Y. M. C. A, Sub-Contracts. The Hopson-Chapin Manufacturing Co. have been awarded the contract for the plumbing and heating on the new . M. C. A. building, for which H. R. Douglass, Inc. has the general con- tract. C. G. Bostwick of Hartford is doing the roofing and metal work, the American Bridge Co. the iron work, Henry Gardiner of Millstone the stone work and the New York Art Terra Co. the terra cotta trim. Parish House Contracts. C, G. Bostwick of Hartford has the contract for the roofing and metal work on the new parish house for the First Baptist church. H. R, Douglass, Inc., is the contractor. Ready June First. The new $25000 Masonic building wil] be ready for occupancy June 1, and is one of the most modern types of lodge buildings in Connecticat. It is a two-story brick structure 60x80 feet in area. of mill construction, hav- ing 26-inch beams and solid pine and maple flooring. The interfor will in- clude a spacious lodge room 43x62 feet, main hall, offices, cloak rooms, lava- tories and kitchens 15x38 feet. EAST LYME. The capacity of the Oswegatchie hotel has been increased to 101 rooms, 35 of which are equipped with private baths. Two handsome new grill rooms have been added. Four additional cot- tages, each a dream of loveliness and cosiness, have been erected. Thess contain from two to six rooms and in the larger ones each room is furnish- ed with private baths. The interlor decoration is the daintiest imaginable. A big garage with a capacity for 20 cars have been constructed. At the present time it is being utlized as a chicken factory. The dancing casino, is to be extend- ed over the water to a distance of 28 feet more, thus giving a largely in- creased dancing floor. Two grill rooms have also been added to the casino. Another attractive feature is the in- stallation of 50 bathhouses beneath the casino. WATERFORD. Competitive plans have been sub- mitted and an architect will soon be selected to draw plans for a new schoolhouse to be erected In Water- ford. The schoolhouse will be a four- room building of brick construction and will be heated by steam. It will contain all modern equipment, . W, C. Saunders is chairman of the school committee, Architect James Sweeney is drawing plans- for a frame residence to be erected at Jordon, in the town of ‘Waterford for Oscar Patch. The house will be 23x38, with nine rooms and bath, and will be heated by steam. A private water plant will be installed. AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS PUTTING DOWN EGGS. Water Glass a Most Preservative. Satisfactory 1t is good economy for every fam- ily that uses a dozen or more eggs per week to anticipate the high prices of the fall and early winter by put- ting a sufficient number of eggs in storage to carty them through that period. It is very practical®to. store these eggs in the home cellar because it can be done most cneaply there and the highest grade of eggs can be pur- chased . for that purpose. April is the best month In the year for purchasi the eggs because at this season they are strongest, which means that they contain the ~smallest percentage of| water and are also cheapest. A most! satisfactory preservative Is silicate of soda, commonly called water glass which can be purchased at most drug stores at a cost of from 40 cents to 50 cents a gallon. This should be used at the rate of one part to nine parts of water and the eggs completely covered with the solution. A galvan- ized iron or wooden receptacle may be used for this purpose. It is not necessary that all eggs should be put down at the same time, but it is important that they be ab- solutely’ fresh and unwashed because the process of washing destroys the protecting film on the surface of the shell ana weakens its keeping quali- ties. Only sterile eggs should be used, as their keeping quality is 50 per cent. greater than that of fertile eggs and they are less likely to be damaged be- fore being placed in the storage. Eggs kept for 10 months under these condi- tions will make just as light cake as fresh eggs and many consider them Juis} as palatable for the breakfast table. ROADSIDE BRUSH. A Breeding Place for San Jose Scale and Other Pests—Should Be Cut. Many farmers feel at this time of the year that it is time to clean up round their farm buildings. It is sug- gested that during this cleahing pro- cess that they pay special attention to the roadside brush. especially the dif- ferent varieties’ of wild cherry, hawthorn bushes and seedling apples. These trees and bushes should be cut out becaufe they are a breeding place for San Jose and other sca'es, black knot, apple and plum curculio and other = pests and fungus troubles. Oyster shell scales are found on wil- low poplar and apple trees. The cedar rust spends part of its life on cedar and juniper trees. With- out these trees in the vicinity of or- chards, the cedar rust cannot exist. The rusts are becoming more and more serious in some parts of the state and are liable to become serious in this section when many of the trees which have been planted recently come into bearing. A little time spent at this time of the year removing these injurious trees and bushes will greatly lessen the amount of damage being done by these insects, because a great percentage of their food sup- plies will be removed. Some state have laws compelling reople to spray fruit trees and keep these wild plants, which serve as breeding places for orchard troubles, cut. down. Something of this sort ought tg be enacted in the state of Massachusetts in order to protect the fruit growers who are conscientiously caring for their trees and shrubs an- nually, 'but who have their trees r infected annually because their neigh- bors .do not spray and care for their trees. s PEACHES. By Spraying Trees Peach-leaf Curl Can be Controlled. One great peach trouble in this sec- tion is peach-leaf curl. This troule can easily be controlled by using the regulation dormant spray which near- Iy all have to use against San Jose scales and all other scale _troubles. There is one thing to remember, how- ever, and that is that it is well to ap- ply this spray just as early as possi- ble: or before the buds start to swell. The fungi on the outside of the buds and twigs should all be killed before they have an opportunity to get be- neath the bud scales, which they will do just as soon as the buds start to swell. Peach buds start to swell very early, and it is high time that the dormant spray of concentrate lime sul- phur is applied, using one gallon dil- uted Wwith, eight gallons of water. FERTILIZE TREES. Manure or Other Fertilizer Should Be Placed Beyond Spread of Branches. Recommendations have been made that farmers rlan to fertilize their trees by the use of phosphoric acid and nitrogen only when 1t was need- In many cases they could have used this to much. ' better advantage on their corn or. other plowed land, or even on the grass land. Fruit trees as a rule require a more balanced fer- tilizer, if anything, stronger in phos- phoric acid and potash than what is contained in manure. If manure or other fertilizers are used among the trees, they should be placed directly over the feeding roots. Many farmers have been found who have fertllized their trees with man- ure and put the manure just as close to the trunk of the trees as was pos- sible. This method of applying fer- tilizer will not be as beneficial as it ought to because the roots which are directly beneath are channels rather than feeding roots. The fertilizer and, manure should in other words be ap- plied out beyond the spread of the branches or a yard or two within the end of the spread of the branches' where the feeding system of the tree is. SILAGE FOR SUMMER USE. A dairyman who has silage for sum- mer use is the one who is not going to be as seriously affected by the summer drough lessening the yield of our pasture land. Unfortunately, too many of our dairymen have not plant- ed this needed supply of green feed during the summer months, conse- quently all who have not will have to resort to other green feeds. As a| source of supply, oats and peas should | be seeded from and along at different| intervals so that ripening will take place at different times. Millet and| sweet corn can be utilized as other desirable sources. PLANT POTATOES. DEEP, Work of Digging a Poor Reason for Planting Shallow. A great many potato growers do not get their seed potatoes in_sufficiently deep to guarantee a sufficient amount of moisture for the root system during its growing season. By placing ~the potatoes fairly deep the seed will come in contact with a larger source of moisture and guarantee a much better growth and “sults. Many condemn this idea because of the extra work it may have on dig- ging the potatoes. This is a poor reason for planting shallow. Shal- low planting should be considered only where there is an extremely heavy soil, especially where it is of the clay type. Most of the soils in Hampden county are of th® sandy loam nature and where a reasonably sized secd piece is used deep planting will be the most satisfactory. Four inches should be considered a reason- able depth to place all the seed pleces. GRADE SEED CORN. In order to have a uniform stand of corn 'the corn planter should plant an even number of kernels in each hill and to do this the kernels should be uniform in size and shape. To aid a great deal in getting this seed uni- form the corn grower should buy all seed corn on the ear and cut off each end so as to eliminate the irregular shaped kernel. Too much pains can- not be taken in the efforts to get a perfect stand and by grading all seed in addition to testing it will aid a horn pen supplanted s pen of White Wyandottes among the ten leading Connecticut pens. The same two breeders that tied for first last week also made a draw game in the twenty-third week, Branford Farm's pen of White Rocks and Bar- ron’s pen of White Leghorns each yielding 52 egzs. A pen of Rhode Is- land Reds owned by Pinecrest Or- chards, Groton, Mass., was second for the week with a yield of 51 eggs, while four Connecticut pens tled for third, namely, another of Branford Farm’s pens of White Rocks, Springdale Farm's Rhode Island Reds from Dur- ham, the Storrs Experiment Station’s sour milk pen of Reds and B. P. Nase's White Orpingtons from Thomaston, each of these four pens lald 50 eggs during the week. The total vield for all pens amounted to 3,989 eggs. It is interesting to compare individ- ual honors for the first five months of the contest with the records for the corresponding period last year, The three best birde a year ago, a White Wyandotte a Buff Wyandofte and a White Leghorn laid a total of 268 eggs during the first five months, the best score of the three being 93 egzgs. In the present competition all of the ten leading individuals have made higher scores than this up to April 1st. The three best hens, namely, a Barred Rock, a Buff Wyandotte and a White Wyandotte have lald a total of 320 gl The ten leading pens to date are as follows: Ed Cam, Hoghton, near Preston, ‘England, White Wyandottes, 894: Hill- view Poultry Farm, St. Albans, Vt, Rhode Island Reds 847; Tom Barron, Catforth nr, Preston, England, White 1 A.

COUNTY AGENT WORK IN WINDHAM TOWNS.| Mr. Kennedy ‘ Cooperative Woodstock. Interesting Farmers Effort — Meeting in at i Mr. Kennedy: the county agent fori the Windham County Farmers’ associ-| ation, has found so much interest in cooperation throughout the county that! he has been devoting considerable time: to the organization of cooperative ef-! fort. “T'here is no doubt but the prosperity | of the rural community depends, to a| large extent, on the ability of the com-! munity to market profitably what it| produces, and until the farmers can, dispose of their entire output, they are! not disposed to listen to any plans for increased production; consequently the county agent has before him as perhaps his most important work, the organizejion of the farmers and the aic of hem in disposing of their; marketable goods. A big step in the right direction was taken Monday evening when a number of farmers interested in the purchase of fertilizers met at the home of Mr. tarrison in Woodstock and organized for the purchase of this year's ferti- lizer supply. Mr, Kennedy was pres- ent ana gave information and advice regarding prices and ways and means of orgamizing for the purchase of the desired fertilizers. As county agent, Mr. Kennedy is in a position to obtain satisfactory prices from largc concerns and to give the farmers the benefit of his influense in this direction. Such benefits can be obtained, however, only through organ- ized cooperation by the farmers -and by purchasing in large quantities. The half dozen Woodstock farmers who have already organized will bene- fit to the amount of over $50 per car- load on their fertilizer bills for this vear. It is expected that others will learn of this and will take advantage of the benefits that may be obfained by cooperating in a similar manner. Although it is rather late this season to crganize and buy this year's sup- ply of fertilizer. it may be possible for a few more communities to benefit in the same way that the Woodstock farmers have done. There are many other lines of co- operative endeavor, however, by which other communities may be ma- teria'ly benefited, and it is hoped that the progressive men in each communi- ty will make use of Mr, Kennedy in getting this kind of work under way as soon as possible. The following plan is the one which Mr. Kennedy has adopted in his or- ganization work: Each community is to have its own cooperative soclety, ed by its own officers and doing business through one of its members acting as busi- ness agent. This business agent may well be a local business man. 't has been the history of cooper- ative effort that societies beginning in a small way and doing business in as great deal in obtaining this resuit, OVER 50,000 EGGS IN TWENTY-THREE WEEKS Grand Total in Contest Underway at Storrs—Tle for the Week's Lead. At the close of the twenty-third week of the laying contest at Storrs the hens had laid a grand total to date of more than 50,000 eggs. When it is remembered that the lighter breeds, including the Leghorns, Campines and Buttercups are now getting down to business better.than ever before, the prediction of one hundred and ffty thousand yield for the year seems con- servatlve enough. A pen of Leghorns supplanted a Rock pen among the ten 'leaders, furthermore a Leg- Its efficacy, pleasant taste and freedom from injuri- Time . mr- | Tested ous ingredi- ents make Hale’s Honey ©Of Horehound and Tar the ideal home treatment for coughs, colds, hoarseness, tick- ling dry sore throat, and chil- dren’s croup and When It Aches Again simrle manner as possible are the ones which have proven most successful.

It is, there- fore, essential that all officers be men in whom tue community has confl- dence and men who know local con- ditions thoroughly. The business agent must be such a man also. Tt is Mr. Kennedy's desire that each cooperative soclety organized shall be in 2 position to do its business inde- pendently. They should be so thorough- ly organized and should be so fa- millar with the details of the business thet they can continue as an inde- pendent organization and can do bus- lness by ihemseives, if anything should happen to prevent the County - “nt from giving his aid at any time. ic s only in this way that this co- operative work can be made per- manent. As the work grows and as ihe need arises for more business these small local organizations may fecerate and tous several socleties may act as one and thus have the ben- efits and advantages afforded by a largo orgznization.
