Bids closed Wednesday for the new theatre to be erected in the rear of 284 Main street for Salvatore Adorna. The owner received the bids. The build- ing will be 56x30 feet, of brick con- Generally . speaking. the ordinary two-family house does not possess a particularly attractive exterior. This is due in large measure to the simi- larity in floor arrangement; for exact- ness in .detail does not lend itself al- ‘ways to architectural .beauty, - and despite the designer’s efforts, the usual two-family house is an unprepossess- ing structure with little, except its revenue, to recommend it. This is not the case, however, with the semi-detached two-family house depicted on this page. Here every art 24 known to the craft has been employed o produce a structure of rare charm, and one that will not detract from its surroundings no matter how preten- tious they may be, This house is designed for a co; lot. The exterior, which has l“::é!'r appearance of a single house, is- of cement stucco, rough -cast, and its only ornamentations are the brackets and the roll roof. ' Unlike most two-: -family houses, nothing except the: hatchway in the rear, is used in common; for a brick wall éxtends from cellar to’ ridge- :::’re) t’}mflu! siving to each ‘family 'the e priv: as ma; - acy y be found in ‘a The floor plans given below are of the front half of the house shown. On the ground floor there is a vestibule, hall, living room, dining _room . and kitchenette. The vestibule opens into a hall of generous proportions, from Which a combination staircase leads to the floor above. Passing from the hall through a columned entranceway, one enters the living room, whil:h ll 12-6x 19 feet. This room many delightful features, * mcludlng large open fireplace, window seat with' stor- age space and three casement windows. The -fireplace is in line with the columned entranceway, and with ‘the group windows in the Hhall beyond, while the casement windows are in line with the éntrance to'the dining room. French doors, casement. windows- and a large china closet with drawers and leaded glass doors, are features of the 13x14 !oot dining room.. The kitch- enette, which is 10x13, is equipped with cupboa.rd-, commodious and .con- veniently arranged. -On the second floor are three cham: ‘bers, ‘all light and airy, a large bath room and several closeu one of which is designed for the le!'B&a of linen. There are two bed rooms on the third floor,and considerable space is devoted to storage and closets. The other 'apartment - while similar, is not identical in arrangement. - The rooms are virtually the same.in size and. treatment, but owing to the roof, :lhem is one less chamber on the third oor, Arrangements have been made with the architects to furnish estimated cost of construction orany other infor- mation = desired regarding the house illustrated. = They .also invite our readers to make suggestions for plans which they would like illustrated i the future.

The funds have Ddeen nearly subscribed and the new clubhouse is practically assured. The plans pre- pared by Architect LeRoy P, Ward of New York were approved and the com- mittee was authorized to go ahead as soon as the balance of about $1,900 ‘was subscribed. NEW LONDON Plans for Almshouse Nearly Ready— Other Building Notes. .. The plans for the proposed addi- tion to the almshouse, which are be- ing prepared by Architect Sweeney, will be out for estimates the first of the week. The plans provide for the erection of a new buflding on Jeffer- son avenue to be connected witi the old building by a passage way. The new buildigg will of brick, 2% stories high, with z 10-foot basement, and will be heated by steam. The lighting will be by _electricity and every convenience will' be installed. There will also be some minor altera- tions to the interior of the old bullding. Plans for Block. Architect Payne is drawing plans for a brick block to be erected on the corner of Bradley and Douglass streets for Max Meyer. The building will be ot bflck. with pressed brick side and front, and will be four stories high. ‘The first floor will be equipped for two stores and the upper floors will be ar- ranged for three apartments of seven rooms and bath each. The heating has not been decided upon. Notes, Frank J.

No Danger From Arsenate Spraying In the East If Proper Methods Are Used. ‘There has been much interest this spring in the posibility of fruit trees being injured or killed by the arsenate of lead which is used in spraying. Prof. H. T. Fernald of Amherst has been consulted on the matter and ask- e to write a short article on it, which follows: — The possibility of causing the death of fruit trees by repeated spra’ing with arsenical poisons has been (on- siderably discussed during’ the last few years. Headden claims that ar- senic collected about the crown or col- lar of trees may damage or even kill them, and if this be correct, the wis- dom of repeated spraying is at once called into question. This subject has been investigated by a number of workers since the appearance of Head- den’s’ article and without going into details on the subject, the following genera] conclusions appear to have been reached: 1. The trees which apparently suf- fered from the arsenical spraying may in reality have been injured in other ways. 2.'Alkaline seepage alone is suffici- ent to cause the death of fruit trees, at_least in some cases. 3. Trees never sprayed and where alkali is apparently not present in sufficlent quantities to be the killing agent, have died from injuries at the collar, in a similar way to those spray- 4. Where alkali is present in any large amount it is probable that it might set free arsenic from the spray which collects around the crown and asist in injuring the tree. There is thus far no evidence in the East where fruit trees have been sprayed with arsenical poisons’ for many years, of any injury resulting from the spraying, such as is claimed by Headden in the West. We have no such alkaline soils are found in many parts of the West, and if the arsenical is really responsible for the injuries Wound it would seem probable at least that the presence of the alkali is almost essential to the production of the injury. On the whole, therefore, fear that spraying fruit trees in New England may result in injury to, or the death of the trees, is not supported by evidence. Of course, if spraying is not dne in accordance with ordinary methods no one could predict the re- sult, but under the usual conditions no harm should be done by it BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Solution of Lime and Copper Sulphate Can Be Mixed on Farm. Prof. R. J. Damon says that spray- ing potatoes is just as essential as feeding the dairy cow. -Therefore, if this is true, every potato grower should plan on spraying his potatoes thoroughly. This will mean that at least four or five sprayings. for the season will be necessary. Where & large acreage of potatoes is grown on the farm the making of this mixture at home should be considered, as the making of it-is a simple matter. It only . requires the dissolving of five pounds of copper sulphate, the slak- ing of five pounds.of caustic or build- ers’ lime and diluting with 50 gallons of water. To get a thorough mixture, one that will stay .in eolution well, it is best to dissolve and dilute the copper sul- phate to 25 gallons of water, the same also with ' the caustic’lime-and pour them both at the same time through a strainer into the spray barrel. It is often made by pouring one solution in- to the other, but one, is liable to have trouble unlesd vigorous stirring' is given while mixing the two solutions. The cost ‘of these materials when made at home will be much less than when bought ready mixed. Should one have various insects which. trouble the potatoes, four pounds of arsenate of lead, thoroughly dissolved and diluted should be added to the 50 gallons of water. At least four or five sprayings should be made each season, and to do this with a regular mixture of Bor- deaux one would require about 25 pounds of copper sulphate - and 25 pounds of builders’ lime for each acre. For the first two' sprayings 50 gallons of spraying eolution . wil . be -sufficlent to spray this area, but after. later growth . has -taken place a. larger amount of solution will be necessary. From 70 to 80 gallons of this spraying solution will be: required to spray.thor- oughly. In addition the amount of ar- in!senate of lead.that will be necessary will depend upon the presence of the potato’ bug ‘or insects. For the - first and last sprayings it will probably not be necessary to have the arsenate of lead added, but for the other sprayings it would be wise: to add to it if there are.even .a small number of ‘ bettles present. BUD SPRAY. Should Be Applied After Leaves Come Out and Before Buds Open. It is high time that farmers others made preparations to apply the bud ‘spray. This bud spraying is ap- plied after the léaves come out, but before the blossom bud open enough to show quite -white' or pink. - This spray is for apple é"h green. aphis, tent caterpillar, plui l.nd apple’ poclilis, curcilio and bud-mo and | against these insects and fungus trou- bles. The spray consists of arsenate of lead paste, three pounds of concentra- ted lime sulphur, four quarts to 50 gallons of water and if spraying for aphis one half pound of black leaf 40, or other nicotine sulphate to the same 50 gallons of water. Those who used nicotine sulphate in the dormant spray, which is applied just before the buds actually open, will not need to use it in this spray, likewise those who. have never been troubled with aphis need not.use it. (All those, how- ever, who had aphis trouble last year should make plans to apply .the rem- edy at this time, as it will be more ef- fective at this time than at any other time in the year. The angle disk noz- zle éwlth planty of pressure hould be used. LACK OF MOISTURE SERIOUS Only 80 Per Cent of Normal Amount —Efforts Should Be Made to Con- serve This. Official published figures show. that there is only about 80 per cent. of the normal amount of water in the soil so far this season, and present indications are that the moisture situation for the coming season will be extremely eeri- ous. Thus it behooves everyone to make every - effort that is possible to conserve the moisture that is in the soil already. There ‘are.hundreds of acres of land in this country -that were plowed last. fall. which have not been touched with the harrow yet. This means that there are tons and tons of water being lost by evapora- tion. The-only way to conserve this moisture is by forming. a surface mulch by harrowing and cultivating. This should be done immediately. . All of our corn and potato.land whigch has not been plowed should likewise be treated with the plow and harrow so as to prevent further evaporations. When we realize that each ton of dry matter produced from the corn crop requires 500 tons of water, there will be needed a tremendous amount of moisture to produce our large crops. “Transplant Trees' Immediately. Those who have not transplanted their trees or shrubs should do so im- mediately, as it is getting late. It is well to do this work just as soon as the frost is out.of the ground in the spring. Spread Manure Many flelds are found over the coun- ty which are covered with small piles of manure. This means, when applied at this time of the year, a-loss of time and labor and alo an uneven dis- tribution of the valuable plant-food elements. Py KEEP -TO ALFALFA. If It'ls Made To .Follow Crop of Pe: A bulletin from the Wyoming Ex- perimental Station says: Peas being nitrogen gatherers have a beneficial effect on the soil, and prob- ably fit the soll ‘hetter for alfalfa than do many other crops. It"does not inoc- ulate for alfalfa as the bacteria found on the roots of the pea plants are not of the same species as those found on the alfalfa roots, but there seems to be a physical’ effect on' the soil that is beneficial to the alfalfa. In the spring of 1910 two small areas ‘were sown to alfalfa. One had been in grain the preceding year and the other in field.peas. ‘The soil of each plot was alike and the seeding was done at the same time. The plant that had been in peas gave a perfect stand of alfalfa, while on the plot that had been in grain the preceding year a very poor stand was obtained.. The soil on the former plot was in ‘better condition and -was ‘compacted -more easily after plowing. One of the main factors in successful - alfalfa growing is a. well- prepared and well-compacted seed bed.

Lyon company, one of the three print- ing concerns which enjoved state printing and in which Mr Barnes was charged with having been interested, was one of the witnesses in the suit for libel brought by Mr. Barnes a- gainst former President Roosevelt. Mr. Lyon brought to this city several trunkfuls of books and papers. = He produced the stock book, which show- ed that Mr. Barnes, up to 1912, owned 150 shares the company.

BRANFORD FARM HENS THIRD IN LIST. Results of Twenty-fifth Week at Storrs Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, In the twenty-fifth week of the lay- ing contest at Storrs the hens laid 163 eggs more than for the preceeding period, or.a total of 3957 for the week. The folowing shows how fifteen pens representing four varieties, namely Rocks, Reds, Wyandottes, and Leg- horns ran neck and neck for the week. Tom Barron, Leghorns, England, 57; Jas. V.

The amount of grain consumed by a hen is of course a vital and interest- ing problem to all poultrymen. It has been pointed out in these columns that the records at the laying contest show that an average hen will eat less than ninety pounds of feed in the ‘course of a year. With one or two of the breeds in the competition correlation tables have been worked out” which seem to indicate that there is.no apparent re- lationship between the amount of grain a pen consumes and the number of eggs they la.y On the othér hand there appears to be a very high cor- relation between the amount of mash consumed by the pen and.the number of eggs produced. . Thus the pens that consumed the largest amount of mash laid the greatest number of ‘eggs. If the mash were only as palatable then the feeding of grain would be a very simple matter. It happens, however, that hens in general are fonder of hard grain and so it is necessary for a feeder. to be careful .on this account. It is important that he so regulate the amount of grain as to induce the hens to consume nearly or quite as much mash as they do of grain.
