The record of real estate transac-. tions for the week, as shown by the umber of warranty deeds filed in e Conbecticut towns reported by The Commercial Record, about equals ‘that of the like week of 1914. For the ‘week there were 351 sales with Pedriagage loans of $§Z2.179, and last Year there were 845 sales, With mort- Bage loans of $754,157. The six_incorporations _formed in fthe state last week have a. total capi- talization of $142,000, comparing with Seven incorporations with total stock of $227.500. For the past week three bankruptcy titions with assets of $7,045 and lia- Phitics. of 328,118 were fled in" Con- Tectlout, a record about equal to. that Of the like week a year ago. During the week building permits were granted in the oities of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Water- and Stamford to the number of 367 for bulldings costing $584,504. Last # in the same period 104 permits buildings costing over $300,000 | were issued. Oontracts awarded last week include the new plant of the Bridgeport Pro- jectile Co., in Bridgeport, -which will ‘cost over $500,000; residence work in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury: brick business block in Bristol; addition to bathing pavilion in New Haven which will cost $15,000, and a large number of ome and two family houses in all parts of the state, Plans are being prepared for brick hotel, store and apartment block; Tectory and brick. apartment build- ing in Bridgeport; gymnasium .and residence work in New Haven: two brick apartment buildings in Stam- ford; factory addition in_Waterville; schoolhouse: additfon in Rocky Hill; and several brick tenement houses in Hartford. Much smaller work is also reported in mearly all of the cities of the state. and whilé there is no sign of a building boom in Connecticut the indications are that the coming sum- mer will be nearly ds active as usual in_the building trade. Norwich had four sales of real es- tate last week to 22 year ago. The loans for the respective weeks were $4075 and $11,300, In New London there were six realty sales last week to twelve a year ago. The mortgage loans for the two weeks ‘were $9500 and $15,123 respectively. SOUTH MANCHESTER. The new residence which is being erected for John T. Robertson, is now ready for plaster.

To the last detail it is a model |house—cozy, comfortable and inviting |——with a floor afrangement almost per- fect in its appointments. In this design there is no super- ‘flulty or decoration to compel atten- |tion. The absence of decoration is the predominating virtue. Simplicity and | happy combination of right propor- itions are alone respunsible for the |\results obtained. And this is as it lehould be in a modest home where |refinement and good taste are the lattributes most sought. "A pleasing color combination ob- tains n the light stucco, stained roof. N exterior by the use of brown trim and brown The long, graceful sweep of the roof serves a dual purpose. It not only provides a covering for the porch, but it likewise makes the house appear less high-than it actual- ly is. A pleasing porch effect is se- cured by means of two massive struc- co columnus which rest.on a flooring of cement. The dormer, with its case- ment windows, and the canopy en- trance supported -by wooden brackets are notable features of the exterior. In addition to a good-sized pantry, coat closet, toilet and vestibule there are a central hall and three rooms on the first floor. The commodious hall, which provides easy access to_every portion of the house, separates ‘the living room from the _dining-room. This_ advantageous arrangement may be found quite often in the more pretentious homes, but is rarely seen in a cottage no larger than the one de- picted. From the hall, the living room is approached through French :doors. For its attractiveness, this room de- pends on its opening fo the porch and e Ty s P Charles J.

Storrs Experiment Station is con- ducting variety tests with potatoes in order to obtain some deflnite informa- tion on this-point. For the present it is enough to say that there is no best variety. Green Mountain for late and Irish Cobbler for early planting are undoubtedly good. Others may be as good, but these are commonly grown and easy to obtain. There is much to be said in favor of using popular and tried varieties. The beginner should by all means hold to this practice. The eeed-bed should be as deep and mellow as possible. Plow early and thus save moisture for the -summer. For fitting potato ground, a spring- tooth harrow is a splendid tool. Early planting is desirable, especially for early varieties. There may be some danger from frost, but a little soil thrown over the rows with e hilling attachment, as the plants show through, will furnish protection. ‘When a planting machine is used, the seed must be cut chunky, and a knife fastened in a board is the best and cheapest cutter obtainable. This #llows the operator to make an in- spection of the seed as cut. Depth and distance of planting depend some- what on the sofl and the amount of fertilizer used. Dry lands should be planted, that is, 4 to 5 inches; land apt to be wet, rather shallow. When a heavy application of fertilizer is used, the rows, should be three feet apart end the seed about twelve inches in the row. Planting too far apart is apt to result in too many large tubers. Applying the fertilizer in two lots sel- dom ‘pays for the extra labor. A good planter wil mix it thoroughly with the soil in a strip 8 to 10 inches wide, and this ~usually gives perfect satisfac- tion, THE USE OF THE WEEDER. Too Often Thrown Away as Inef- ficient Because Not Properly Em- ployed. The amount of work which every corn and potato grower will have to do will be largely determined by the way he handles the weed proposition. Too frequently weeds are allowed to outgrow the regular crops. This means not only a loss of moisture which the weeds have taken from the crops but also a loss of the plant food that has been available and should have been used by the cultivated crops. Thus it is jmportant that these weeds be elim- inated at the start. For this purpose there is no better machine than the weeder. Frequently these machines have been seen in the corner of a lot or left for deterioration on the junk heap, due to the fact largely that the ma- chine, not being used at the proper time,’ did not accomplish the expect- ed results. But properly used, and that is when the weeds are small there is no machine for the time and labor spent that will eliminate the weeds as thoroughly as this machine. Thus for the original cost and the time for us- ing it, no better investment can be made than the getting of a weeder. Top Dress This Week by All Means. A great many people who have not as yet top-dressed their grass lands with fertilizer, due to the lateness of the season and the probability of hav- ing a shortage of moisture and also due to the fact that unless the fer- tilizers are put on before the summer drouth starts, the fertilizer will be of very little vaiue unless put on as soon as possible. The league adviser de- sires to impress upon the people the importance of this application as soon as posible. APPLES AND PEACHES. All farmers, especially those inter- ested in apples and peaches should write the United States department of agriculture at Washington, D, C., for their bulletin No. 140 on soils of Mas- sachusetts and Connecticut with spec- ial reference to apples and peaches. This bulletin has been written by H. J. Wilder, who spent e year in Massa- chuetts recently. It takes up in a very fine way the different types of soil in this section; the different types of soils which different apples require together with the general conditions affecting the orchard business. Mr. Wilder also chamber, ‘which corresponds in size to the living room below, and two other chambers of generous propor- tions, in addition to a linen closet, four clothes closets and a bath. If desired, a play room for children and a maid’s room may be finished off on_the third floor. The cellar extends under the en- tire structure, affording plenty of room for heating plant, storage, ves- etable room and laundry. 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 iuvite our read- ers to make suggestions for plans which they would like illustrated in the future. Address all correspond- ence to Bulletin House Department. upon a fireplace of pleasing design. The dining-room is delightfully locat- ed in the front of the house, and the windows and doors are so arranged as to provide plenty of wall space for buffet, serving table, chairs, etc. The kitchen and pantry beyond are both well lighted and convenient. --On .the.second floor is the.master’s takes up the adaptation of different soils to different varieties of peaches. The league hopes that all who are in- terested in anything of this sort will send as soon as possible for this valu- able bulletin. ; WHEN ALFALFA FAILS TO YIELD. Many eastern farmers claim that alfalfa “goes back” after two or three year of cropping. Perhaps a remedy is suggested by the experiments conduct- ed at Yuma, Arizona Experiment Farm. A recent report from Yuma says: “In the production of alfalfa it is noted that in cases where the crop began to fail after three of four years the subsoil proved to be unfavorable and prevented the tap root develop- ment and induced surface root system which did not prove ‘sufficient for the needs of the crop. By plowing under the crop every two or three years and introducing a cultivated crop for a season it is suggested that the soil would again be in condition to produce a maximum yeld of alfalfa.” 'APPLYING THE BUD SPRAY. Many farmers in this section have planned to apply the bud spray which is almed against the bud moth, apple scab, plum and apple corculios, and other insect and fungus troubles. The buds on the earlier varieties have de- veloped very repldly during the last few daye, and those who have not ap- plied this bud spray and who plan’to do so must exercise care. The spray should not be applied after the buds show very mych colos PEACH CANKERS. ‘Brown rot cankers of peach trees, end_cankers:causedsbyswinter dpjuries m‘mfl in Pacific] pYS.PEP-LETS MAKE YOU Samuel Hick, dwelling 25x80, 54| .

On removing from the incubator take each chick individually and dip its beak in sour milk in order to make sure that milk is the first food taken into its system says Leslie E. Card of the Connecticut Agricultural College. For the first three or four days sour milk should be the only drink the chicks receive. After that time clean fresh water should be free- ly supplied to them. We have had a Jot on the Columbia mm erect a frame bungalow, BOSTON BLUEFISH Ib. gweseeepree o oee 8 Grocery Combination 5 Ibs.

Record of Columbia Hen, the Winner in Previous Test, Being Distanced This Year, ‘With the close of the 26th week the international egg laying contest. at Storrs !s half over. It is interesting, therefore, to make some comparison with the preceding contest as to the probability of breaking the records of last year. The best individual score for the third contest was 265 eggs, made by a Connecticut White Wyan- dotte from Columbia. At the end of the first six months, or up to May 1st, her record was 108 eggs, whereas in the fourth or present competition there is a Barred Rock whose record to May 1st is 130 eggs. A Rhode Island Red scores 129, a White Wyandotte 127, another White Wyandotte 124; in short there are more. than a dozen hens which at the end of the first six months are ahead of Merrythought Maid’s recorq for last year for the corresponding period. ‘As to aggregate scorés, there were only four pens that yielded more than 2,000 eggs in the contest a year ago. One of these at the end of the 26th ‘week had a record of only 763, where- as in the present contest three pens of Barred Rocks, two pens of White Wy- andottes, seven pens of Rhode Island Reds and six pens of Leghorns, a total of 18 pens, equalled or bettered. Dur- ing the first 26 weeks the score of 763 mentioned above. In addition to these there is a pen of Columbian Wyan- dottes and a pen of English Black Leghorns that are within 10 eggs. Thus there are 20 pens that have en equal chance of laying 2,000 eggs or better. The English pen of White Wyan- dottes owned by Ed Cam have been the first to actually pass the half way mark to 2,000 eggs. The winning Dens for the week are as follows: Tom Barron’s White Wyandottes . from England were first with 58 eggs; Mrs. J. D. Beck, Canaen, Conn. White Wyandottes, and Braeside Poultry Farm, Stroudsburg, Pa., Leghorns, tied for second with 56 eggs. James H. Lord’s White Leghorns from Methuen, Mass., and James V. Thomas' White Leghorns from Ballston Lake, N. Y., tied for third with 55 eggs each. Twenty-seven pens, including White Rocks, White Wyandottes, Columbian Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns and Black Leghorns, each laid 70 per cent. or better during the past week, three of these 27 going up to 80 per cent. or better. The total yield for all pens was 4,214, or 257 eggs gain over last week; all this in spite of the fact that there were 36 hens shut up in the broody cages during this period. The ten leading pens to date are as follows: Ed Com, Hoghton, near England, White Wyandottes, 1,033; Hillview Poultry Farm, St. Albans, Vt., Rhode Island Reds, 994; Tom Bar- ron, Catforth, near Preston, England, White Wyandottes, 969; A.

Peasley, Preston, reports of excellent results where chicks four weeks old had had noth- ing to drink but sour milk. In such 2 case the chicks will naturally drink more milk than if they had water and consequently will make more rapid growth. Sour milk should be kept be- fore the chicks all the time at least until they are six weeks old and pre- ferably until they reach 'maturity, Milk is an important factor in in- creasing growth itality of the chicks and in reducing mortality from genera] causes. Sweet milk gives just as good results but is somewhat more trouble to feed as during warm weath- er it will turn distinctly sour within two hours_ after feeding, and it does not seem desirable to feed sweet milk one time end sour the next. The sour milk should be fed in a thick- ened condition but before the' curd has separated from the whey. This is chiefly because the chicks, like it better in this condition and’ will con- sume more of it. Feed sparingly the first day after taken from the incubator on equal parts of grit, charcoal and chick feed. From the second day on, mix 10 per cent grit and 5 per cent char- coal with ‘the grain mixture and feed three' times daily, always keep- ing the chicks hungry for more. The chick feed should be scattered in the Htter to induce the chicks to take evercise. Any reliable brand of chick feed will give good results if proper- Iy fed but where large flocks are kept it is cheaper and more satisfac- tory to mix grain at home. The fol- lowing ration has given good results at this station: DRY MASH. Wheat Bran Corn Meal .. Sifted Ground Oats . Low Grade Flour Beef or Fish Scrap . CHICK FEED. Cracked Wheat Cracked Corn (fine) . 15 Pinehead Oats . < . 10 Broken Rice . 3 Chick Grit . 5 Charcoal (fine) e~ Dry mash should be kept before the chickens at all times after the first week. The composition may vary considerably and still give good results. Green food such as sprouted oats, mangels, or lawn clippings should be_fed regularly. “ It is better to underfeed than to overfeed during the first three weeks. Incomes Are Growing.

On Tuesday evening the men who had previously signed up for a local council, Boy Scouts of America, met at the town hall and completed their organization. Norwich now has the distinetion of having the only local council in Eastern Connecticut. The officers of the new council are as follows: President, N. A. Gibbs; first vice president, A’ L. Peale; sec- ond vice president, . J. Graham; thira vice president, L. O. Smith; secretary, J. B. Stanton; treasurer, Allyn L. Brown; scout commissioner, B. M, Bruce. These officers and the rest of the council will come into authority when their eommissions are received from national headquarters in New York. The scout work in the city will now be uniform and all troops will be on the same basis of activities. Troop No, 1. Troop No, 1 held its regular weekly meeting Saturday morning, May 1st. Most of the fellows showed up in their uniforms, which were purchased late- for the benefit of the camp fund. Sec- ond Class Scout Clifford Pardy has been honorably discharged from the troop for tramsfer to a Bridgeport troop, to which city he has moved. The vacancy has been filled by the election of Benjamin Covey to mem- bership. Troop No. 4. Troop No. 4 held its regular meeting Thursday evening, April 2. Hereafter meetings will be held on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Fred Eaton was elected patrol leader, and without doubt will prove a good one. Most of the time was given to instruction in bandaging, which the scouts picked AGED TAX COLLECTOR Restored To Health By Vinol Corinth, Miss.—*I am a city tax col- lector and seventy-four years of age. 1 was in a weak, run-down condition. up very readily, A few scouts have obtained em- ployment by which to earn their own equipment, such as cutting lawns and keeping cellars and yards clean and in good condition. Four new members are expected to be taken in Wednes- day, May ©. Signalling has not yet been taken up, but some boys have been practic- ing it on the neighboring hills this week. Methodist Church Troop. The Methodist church troop held a meeting last Monday evening in the church, with fourteen of the eighteen members present. Tenderfoot and sec- ond class tests were held. There will be a hike next Saturday afternoon and all scouts should meet at the church at 115. After the business meeting next Monday night a local veteran will ad- dress the scouts on the Civil war. Scouts of other troops are requested to attend. New Troop Formed, Twenty-two boys of the Greeneville oCngregational church have asked for a_troop of scouts to be formed at their church.. They met on Wednesday un- der the direction of O. W, Carpenter and listened to a talk about scouting by one of the local scoutmasters. Con- siderable enthusiasm was aroused and the boys intend to do ahead with their organization if a scoutmaster can be found. One . Reason. People sometimes ask why it is that the Boy Scout movement continues its remarkable growth. There are many reasons, but one of the most import- ant is the enthusiastic volunteer work of men throughout the country who have been quick to see the significance and value of the scout program. Natlonal headquarters is frequently receiving new evidence of invaluable service by men who are farggighted enough to see a few years into the fu- ture. The following extract from a letter recently received from Scout- master Francis B. Lincoln, of Troop 2 State college, Pennsylvania, is typical of this.spirit of hearty support: “One night each week I am giving RESINOL HEALS ITCHING SKINS And Clears Unsightly Complexions Resinol Ointment, with Resinol Soap, stops_itching instantly, quickly and easily heals the most distressing cases of eczema, rash, ringworm, tet- ter or other tormenting skin or scalp eruptions, and clears away pimples, blackheads, redness, roughness and dandruff, when other treatments have proven only a waste of time and money Physicians have prescribed Resinol for twenty years, while thousands who have been cured say, “What Res- inol did for us it will do for you.” Every druggist sells Resinol Soap (25c.) and Resinol Ointment (50c. and $1). IS YOUR TOILET SOAP SAFE? Many toilet soaps contain harsh, in- jurious alkali. Resinpl Soap contains absolutely no free alkali, and to it is added the Resinol medication. This gives it soothing, healing properties which clear the complexion, comfort tender skins and.keep the hair healthy. a course to those college students who are interested in doing somethinz for boys. At present there are sixteen en- rolled.” Men are in the Scout movement fo Iove and not for glory or financial ward, and when men take up a wo from such a motive they give un stintingly of their time and thought 1t is impossible to tell how many men are doing extra service, as Mr. Lin coln is doing, but the wonderfu growth, in size and influence, of the Boy Scout movement indicates that the number is large, When we stop to think of the real significance of such volunteer acts of service as this, we realize one of th principal reasons why Scouting grow and grows and grows! —Scouting.
