The'roof is now being put on and as seon as the building is com- pletely roofed, the inside finishes will be made and with the furnishing of the building it will be ready for oc- cupancy. It is promised that the build- ing" will be ready for use in October, which is now but ten weeks’ distant. H. R.

The Connecticut Engineering and Contracting Co., which is bullding the schoolhcuse, has overcome the diffi- culty of recelving enough water to be used daily for the mixing of cement. At first a pipe line_was laid from the spring_on Bolles Hill ‘but the flow from ‘there was insufficient. Now a dam has been built in Alewife brook below Woodworth’s pond' and from there water is supplied to meet all demande. On Monday an extra num- ‘ber of men were put-on the job. This housé is designed to be de- veloped in shingled and stucco sides; or in shingles alone-if.preferred. The latter is a trifle the cheaper—either will give & pleasing effect. All the roofs have a wide overhang, entirely clear with the exception of the front and side porches, which are supported by heavy ormmamental ‘The side plazza, 8x10.6 feet, has a balus- trade at each side, the front being open. The front door.has two panels, one of wood and one of glass. The side doors, both upstairs and down, are entirely of glass, small panes bein, used. Group windows are arrange: for wherever; practicable. Those who prefer not to- ly from the porch into the room will appreciate the ule. The living room, to the right, is 15x11.6 feet. A triple sroup window is the feature of the front of the ° living room, French doors to the piazza of the second side, another pair of French doors to the dining room set off the third, while the open staircase, wide landing, ornamental balustrade and newel post make an attractive picture vieweq across the room through the open doors from the piazza. ‘The dining room, 11x10.6 feet, has two sets of group windows. Ample wall space is allowed for a china closet,: buffet or. sideboard. The kitch, en 10x10 feet, may be entered either from theidining room or living room.

Please address all cor- respondence to Bulletin House Dept, the udders, flaj cows should be carefully wiped a damp cloth to remove eny dust or loose hairs which might fall into the milk pail. Only those persons who are free _from communicable disease should® be allowed to bandle milk or even enter the stable or dairy house. After the cows are prepared for milking each milker should thoroughly wash his hands and put on a pair of clean overalls and a jumper or wear a suit which is used for no other purpose. ‘The suit must be kept clean and occasionally sterilized with steam or by hoiling in water. The milking stoal must also be clean, to avoid soil- ing the milker's hands. ‘The small-top milk pail is a neces- sity in the production of clean milk as it presents only a small opening into which dust and dirt may fall from the air or from the cow’s body. It has been found by experience that the use of this kind of pail greatly reduces the number of bacteria in milk from average dairies. Many types of milk pails are for sale, but any tinner can convert an oi pail into a small-top pail by the ad- dition of a hood. Milkers should be allowed to milk only with dry hands. of wetting the hands with milk is a filthy habit and is liable to.cause the cows’ teats to chap in thewinter time. Milking should be done guickly and thoroughly, with no violent jerking of the teats. After each cow is milked the milk should be remowved im- mediately to the milk house. The milker should remember ail- ways that he is handling a human food which is very easily contaminated. Soap, clean water, and towels must be readily accessibie. The hands.should be washed after milking each cow. e Orange Rust of Blackberry. ‘This fungous disease appears in the spring on the under sides of the leaves. It forms there an orange, red, or rusty color. The reddish dust which is so easily shaken from the af- fected leaves is spores. The presence of these colored Spore-masses is ex- ternal evidence that within the stems of the canes, bearing affected leaves, are the feeling-threads of the/ fun- gous These threads live in the canes from year to year. Hence it is use- lecs to spray. The only successful f combating the rust is to prune burn all affected plants. { plants are not worth saving - fruit, and further, they are B ¢ of contamination to healthy d R, - 2 i e Packages. “™@&r le cual is an essential. re- in- the mxxcliluhn'!’ any farm and fruit product, it y Do means the only factor in.selling at the highest price. First of all, the package usedshould be new-and clean. The neater package, the better,are: {ruit will ap- pear. Wtile .the products should be of.uniform size color throughout the package, the top layer should be arranged so as to attract the eye of the buyer. Further ‘the package should in every instance be well filled. The buyer is very quick to notice shortness in measure, Or any deficiency in a well-topped or rounded finish. In small fruit, such as the Raspberry, particular attention should be given to have every berry in per- fect condition. For the best effect, and for particular markets where the grower has steady customers, the ber- ries should be gruded into two sizes. This is to give uniformity to the ;| fruit, anq will make the package more ttractive. ‘ It is a well known fact that the at- tractiveness of a package of fruit sells it.

In the poultry raising department of the current issue of Farm and Fireside appears an account of a drome hen. This hen looks fine but she is no use as an egg-producer. Following are some facts about her: “This hen laid only 78 eggs during & full year after her first egg. “Her full sister laid 203 eggs in her pullet year, beginning when four months and five days old. Several other sisters -did nearly as well. “Her mother has a record of 219 eggs, and her father is fully as well bred for heavy egg-production qual- ities. ‘This drone hen was hatched March 14, 1913, and when mature weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces. She is normal in every way except she refuses to lay fer first egz was laid December 17, 1913, when nine months old. She be- gan to molt the folowing October, and Jaid no more until the spring of 1914.” Sweet-Corn and Field Corn For Silage. A. B. writes as follows: “I have & patch of sweet corn and another of field corn. How shall I t the corn into the silo? My own idea would be to put in first a load of sweet then one of fleld. Would it be better to try and alternate first a bundle of one then a bundle of the other? ‘The kind of corn has nothing to do with the manner in which it is handled The only thing A. B. needs to be con- cerned about is the matter of matur- respective crops and when one is ready to go into the silo pyt it in; and later, crop is mature, put that rather unusual to have both sweet and field corn come on at the same time, and unless both have reached the proper stage of maturity they have INTERESTS extract from the story-of &is achieve- ment: “Sixten thousand bushels of apples have been harvested and sold at an average price of 80 cents-the ‘bushel from an 18-acre orchard owmed and operated by G. F. Beavers of Ralston, Nebraska, during the last three years. The average gross receipts have avr- aged more than $4,200 the year. “Three thousand dollars was invested seven years ago in the apple orchard by Mr. Beavers, then a South Omaha groceryman. The orchard is six miles from town. “Mr Beavers had been selling a great many apples through his store, and his object in purchasing the to_eliminate one middleman’s “‘There is no secret modest success,’ says Mr. Beavers. ‘T found out as a grocer that a large por- tion of the apples I was able to.buy were poor specimens, and that the really good ones met with a ready sale.
