The large addition that C. D. White s_having put on his mill is nearing :ompletion. The cottage that Burke Hewitt is l\nld!ng is being rapidly completed. . Plans and specifications are being made by Architect C. H, Preston, for a large addition to the Hall Bros. mills at Trading Cove. two new 180 horse power boilers. * are to be made by the Allen Worcester, Mass. The first of the nest is in stock at the shops, intended for another customer, but they are not quite ready to receive it, and to ac- commodate, this will be shipped jm- mediately for Hall Brothers' mills. The second' boiler ‘of the same size will come later. A new ‘cusodis” steam stack will be built, it will be 125 feet in height, with 18 foot flue and con- structed of radial brick, as made by this firm. There will also be a new dye house, 40 feet by 72 feet,. ome story high, of brick construction, with’ truss roof, Georgia pine timberings and floor. . There will be extractors, dye tubs, etc. In conpection with this there will be. another brick building 130 feet long, and 50 feet wide, and two stories in height, with Georgia pine_timberings and floors. For the top floorings the best matched maple mill flooring will be used. There will be a new freight - elevator in this building.

Work will commence im- mediately on changing this plant on receipt of the contractors’ estimates. A new 6 inch pipe is being con- nected to penstock, to supply the new dye house with a large supply of wa- ter. from Witch Hazel Mill For Sturtevant St. A one story, two room frame build. ing is being erected on the site of the old tannery on Sturtevant street near the Glen Woolen mill.

The fermi;mg constituents of ;well rotted manure, are more’ quicKly dvailable .to plants, and the manure: itself is less bulky ' and _easiér-. to - distribute.. On the. other hand, fresh.manure mixed with the sojl ' readily undergoes a fermentation which: not only increas- es the availability. of its own fertiliz- ing constituents of the soil. In fact, even with special precautions to pre- vent injurious fermentation under the: feet an animals and in the heap, the greatest return is likely to be gotten ‘'from manure applied in the fresh con- dition. g - ~The form in which manures should: be applied (whether fresh or rot- ted) is determined ‘largely by the &oil [{ on. which it is to be used and on the time of the year. P -On: clay soils it ofen happens that| manure producés no effect ‘whatever during the first year om account .of slowness of decomposition, but since, the clay possesses very powerful ab- sorptive properties the manure is not; lost. The fertilizing constituents are]l retained in the soil and- are finally: utilized by the crop. There is there- fore Httle or no danger on this ac- count in .applying manure to clay and{’ heavy+scils a long while in advance of the planting of the crop. The ap- plication to such soils of large quan- tities of manure improves their phys- ical condition. The behavior 6f calcareous soils toward manure is very variable, de- pending upon the compactness of the| soil. On the other hand light soils which are sufficiently porous, decom- position goes on with great rapidity, and the loluble fertilizing constitu- ents fo may be partially carried away in he drainage water before they can be taken up by the plants.

Given the best ration that can be combined will not give the best possible results unless it “is fed at proper times and the right amount. One of the most important points toi be remembered in the feeding 'of poultry is that of regularily. The| rations should be fed at the same bour each day, and same feeds given. Hens are creatures of habit and if their .daily routine is disturbed they will not lay as well as they would" it they were given their feeds when they ‘were looking for them. It is very important that a scatch graln should be fed eatly énough “in] the afternoon to give the hens plenty of time to eat large quantities of it In ‘order that 'they may receive all that their crops will hold, a second feed about one-half hour before the birds go to roost is of great value during the months of November, De- cember and January. The afternoon féed should be at 3 o'clock and . the supplementary feed at about. 4.30. Poultrymen who- follow this system of feedifig will' be surprised to see how much more grain fowls will eat if they. are given the secand opportuni- tiy to pick jt up without much exer- clse in hunting for it.

In some parts of New England, where farmers have had to. look more carefully to the renewing of old soils than .in some of the newer -sections ©Of the country, wood asheg have long ‘been . appreciated. Ashes indlmfly increase the available nitrogen of the organic matter In the soil. Ashes. from hardwoods (decidious trees) are richer in both phosphorus and ‘potash’ than those fromspines and other softwoods. Ashes from oak, elm, maple, and hickory have more potash than those ffom pine. The ashes of twigs (fagots for example) are worth more for agricultural- pur- poses than the ashes of heartwood taken from the midle of an old tree.

HARTFORD BANKS AN.D INSURANCE COMPANIES SUED By the United States Government for Taxes.

Many experiments have showm that barnyard manure is one of the most effective ‘means of increasing -the pro- ductiveness of swamp or muck soils. This is thought to be due .largely to the increase /of available nitrogen brought about.by the application of +the manure. The climate also may have an im- portant bearing on this subject. In a <amp climate it is a matter of parative “indifference whether the manure is fresh or well rotted when ‘it is“applied, since under these con- ditions decomposition in the soil will be sufficiéntly rapid: In’a dry season, however, it is well known that exces- sive applications of undecomposed manure manifest a-teéndency to “bura ut” the .soil, and this. tendency, - as has just been stated, is more marked in light soils than in heavy. In celd climates, where the - season: is sl and the conditions for rapid fermen- tation in. the =oil unfavorable, the use of fermented manure is preferable.. Wood Ashes of Value.

On the other hand, the mdrning fa- tion should be given in very limited quantities, and: some poultrymen - find] excellent results from feeding grain only once a day, at night; and feeding a-suffieient amount to havé some left over for the morning feed. It is, however, important that the . hen: should clean up all of their grain once a day, so that when the night feed is given they will be hungry for more. If a dry mash is fed it may be kept before them all of the time, or as is recommended by the New York ex- perimental station, the hoppers may ‘be kept closed until 10 o'clock in. the morning and then opened for.the .re- mainder of the day. The amount of mash which ‘the birds consume ‘should _indicate to ‘what course to pursue in this matter. 'If a wet wash is fed it should be given at 11 or 12 o'clock. so that the birds Wwill have time to digest it before the 'afternoon ration is given. The feeding of green food which is very important should take place at about. 9 o'clock in the morning, thus dividing the day'into equal parts.as far as rations are concernéd and giv- ‘ing -the birds something to do all of the time.
