Within a short time the Norwich Housing company directors expect to be able to award the contract for the erection of the houses for the accom- modation of the 2000 or more employes which the Hopkins and Allen Arms Co. are to bring to Norwich. Plans for the new houses have been drawn and submitted by Palmer and Chandler. The tvpe of house which has been decided upon as the one most fitting to meet the needs of the mechanics and their familles is a two story double tenement building. The d‘mensions are to be 35x25 feet with a large piazza, about 15x9 feet, on the front side.’ The plans call = for separate entrances, both front and rear, for the tenements. Each tene- ment will have five rooms with a bath room and hall. The front entrance on the ground floor leads into a wide hall and on the left of the hall is the parlor about 12x12 feet in size. Leading straight ahead is a passage to the dining room which measures about 11x12. The dining room is to be on the same side as the parlor. Next will come the kitchen, about § feet 4 inches by 11 feet in size. Leading off the kitch- en is a rear hall with a small in- closure for an ice box. On the right side of the house, as one faces the front elevation, there will be two bedrooms separated by a large bathroom. The bedrooms will be about 11x12 feet in size and will have clothes presses. On the right of the ground floor entrance will ‘be the entrance to the second story tenement. The second MIDDLETOWN.

The present building will be used until such a tlxn:‘du the new building can be oc- upled. H. D. Barrows will take possession of the present Y. M. C. A. building which he purchased recently on Jan. 1. Soon after work will be started on the new structure which is to be erected by Mr. Barrows on the site of the present building. Plans for the new buflding are be- ing drawn and will be ready by the first of the vear. The old buliding will be moved back about 30 feet and a modern three story buflding will be put up there. The buil ‘will con- tain three stories and will be three stories high, having offices on the up- per_floors. Work on the new Polish church, which is being erected in Huntington street, is progressing rapidly and it is expected the members of My Lady of Perpetual Help church will take possession of their new home in the early spring. The walls of brick have been erect- ed and workmen are finishing the roof in preparation for cold weather. The rafters for the covering have been placed and more than half of the roof boarded.

If a dust wallow is not provided for in the poultry house it can be made by putting a box of dirt in the brightest part of the poultry build- ing or by partitioning off a cormer| and filling that in with dirt. The sun| must shine into the dust wallow if it is going to be used by the fowls Hens provided with plenty of Oppor- tunity to dust themselves will not re- quire any extra attention from the | poultryman by the use of commercial lice powders. A thorough spraying of the roosting quarters and mests once a month will be sufficient to take care of the vermin in the winter {ime Moist loam is by all odds the most | desirable for dusting purposes. When hens are let out in the spring it will be observed that they do not go to | the driest places but to that place in, the yard where there is 'still some moisture left in the earth, and here they wallow in the dirf and are happy. -Sand is not 2ood because it | is too fine and dry and same is true of coal ashes. They may be mixed with heavy dirt to keep the dust wal- low fllled during the winter, but there should always be a larger percentage of dirt than coal ashes. Wood ashes should never be used because they contain Ive which which injures the | skin and shanks and the calclum which they contain sets free the am- | monia_in the poultry house which re- sults in great loss of the fertilizing value of poultry litter. HOGS. Result of Feeding Experiments at Washington and Other Stations. In a feeding experiment at the Washington _station five lots of shoats, averaging 125 pounds each, were fed for seven weeks on the fol- lowing rations, and at the end of the experiment they _were weighed and sent to market: Lot one, 90 per cent. rolled barley and 10 per cent tankage. Lot two, 90 per cent. rolled barley and 10 per cent. tankage (a different brand). Lot three, 95 per cent. roll- ed barley and 5 per cent. tankage. Lot four, ground oats and field peas. Lot five, rolled barley. At the end of the seven weeks the first four lots weighed from 190 to 225 pounds per pig. Lot four made the iargest daily gains, lot three the next largest and lot two next. Lot one con- sumed 422 pounds of grain for 100 pounds of gain: lot two, 419 pounds of grain; lot three, 393 pounds of grain; lot four, 393 pound of grain; lot_five, 584 pounds of grain. Barley alone is not sufficiently rel- ished and does not contain enough protein, according to Prof. Ashby of the &Minnesota Station. Milk or tankage may be fed with it to advan- tage. Good combinations are, 90 per cent. barley plus 10 per cent. tankege, or 90 per cent. barley plus 5 per cent. tankage for older hogs, or 1 pound of barley to 2 pounds of skim milk. The same authority says that barley may be soaked or ground with advantage, but tankage must not be eoaked be- fore feeding. Corn and barley mixed are better than barley alone. SQUABS. Highest Prices Prevail During Cold Weather. According to the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, squabs are in good mar- ket condition when fully feathered under the wings, which is usually about the time they begin to leave the nest. If not killed at this time they soon lose their baby fat and their flesh begins_ to harden. Squabs should be graded accord: to size and quality, as dark-color: and small squabs tend to lower the price paid for an entire mixed ship- ment. Squabs are usually packed the for shipment in a §0od supply of cracked ice, breasts up, with n paper between each layer of ice and Squabs. Some express companies have a special rate for squab ship- ments, which should be secured when- ever possible. The express.charges e “pront maesially, maldng, It e the t 5 o ficult to sell the squabs from a small flock: at a profit if they have to be shipped to commission men. As the period at which a squab is right for market is not longer than one week. it i necessary to have a good-sized ficck in order to have more than one dozen equabs ready for market at one time. A local market which will take any number of squabs is a great aid to the small producer. ~ Where one has a small flock it usually pays to build it up until it is large enough to make good-sized shipments. This, however, requires a constant outlay without any return for some time. The production of squabs from each pair of breeders varies from one or two to as high as ten or eleven pairs a year, but an average of from six to ‘seven pairs is a fair estimate, al- though some squab breeders do bet- ter than this. Squabs usually sell at the highest prices during cold weath- er, as pigeons do not breed so freely during the winter as during the spring. There is no hope of making money from squabs unless pigeons are kept comparatively free from disease and verimin BEES. Hivee Can Be Put In Condition and Supplies Laid In During Winter. Now that the bees are safely housed | for the winter, and weather condi tions are giving the farmers a respite from all work other. than the daily chores, the days and evenings can not | e better spent than in careful read- ng. To keep abreast with the latest progress in beekeeping, it is absolute- ly necestary to be in touch with what the other fellow is doing, as _every now and then some new method discovered which makes manipulation of colonies easier and adds to the out- put of surplus. It is a good thing now to lay in all supplies needed for the coming sea- son, because during the leisure of winter there is ample tifie to put| hives, etc., together and have them | in readiness when the swarms begin | to emerge or the colonies need new sections for the surplus. Hundreds of section boxes can be put together, and foundation put into place and the section supers gotten all ready for tiering when the flow begins to come. It is economy to use full sheets of foundation in both the brood frames and the section boxes, as it insures straighter combs in each instance. In the case of the brood frames, whether they are to be used in the brood nest or extracting super, by all means wire in the foundation se- curely, as this prevents the breaking loose of the combs when extracting or handling them. Nothing can be done to add to the comfort or security of the bees at this season, if all colonies were in god shape at the time they were pre- pared for winter: any fussing with them is sure to do harm. Where the colonies are stored in cellars for the winter, we must not forget to see that the cellar is proper= ly ventilated at night, the bees kept in absolute darkness, and the tem- perature not permitted to rise above 60 degrees. There come occasional warm days in February when _the bees are restless. Then is the time to open the windows of the cellar for a_couple of hours during the night to allow the animal heat to be carried off and fresh air admitted. At times quite a number of dead bees will accumulate upon the floor of the cellar, but this is no. occasion for alarm, for they are simply old bees that have come out to die. HENS AT STORRS LAY REGARDLESS OF SEASON Total Production Thus Far Much Ahead of Same Period Last Year. The hens in the laying contest gave evidence of real progress in the. fourth week. The total yield for this period amounted ‘to 1590 eggs which exceeds by 250 the yield for the pre- ceding week and Is 419 eggs better than the production in the corre- sponding week a year ago. The for- elgn pens have to be reckoned with. It apears that the Englishmen can al- ways be depended upon to send birds that will lay well: not only this, but they are wonderful stayers; they not only start at the beginning of the con- test but stick to it throughout the year. It is a matter of history in all laying competitions in this country that the English birds are among the last to quit at the close of the year. Wil Barron’s White Leghorns from Bartle, England were first for _the week with a yield of 44 eggs. Tom Barron's White Wyandottes from Catforth, England, were in_ second place_with a production of 39. eggs and Jules F. Francais’ pen of Barred Rocks from West Hampton Beach, L. I, made third place with 38 eggs to their credit. Seven hens including Barred Rocks, White Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns and Oregons made perfect individual scores in the fourth week by laying seven ezge each. Not every poultryman who sends birds to the laying contest seems to be able to select the pullets best sulted for the purpose. The records for the fourth week showed that the extra or reserve. birds for twenty- nine pens laid a total of 125 eggs for the week whereas in these same twenty-nine pens there were any- is | | 20 Obea and be able to return home. the same evening.

Jerome of the Wat- sonville Apple Distributors address- ed the morning session of the Cali- fornia Fruit Growers' convention at Visalia on November 20, on the Standard Apple Act of 1915 as follows, says the Watsonville (Cal.) Register. The last legislature of the state of California enacted a law known as “The Standard Apple Act of 1915” which was duly approved by the governor on June 10, 1915, thus plac- ing a law on the satute books, for the first time in this state, providing for standardization of pack under state inspection, and a way to help honest packers of apples protect the apple buying public and themselves at the same time. The very satis- factory results already obtained by all complying with the law fully demon- | mary | others who did not take advantage of | law lieved the charge of one-half cent per box will more than cover all expenses of the state. Grading As to Size. The next problem confronting the packers was the grading, particularly the size, as no apples varying in size more than one-quarter of an inche in diameter within each box is permitted, while heretofore a very much greater variation was the universal practice. This brought the demand for grad- Ine machines and two or three sam. ple machines were shipped to Wa ville for trial The results were so very satisfactory. .not only in the uniform sizes so easily obtained. but in the reduced cost of operation, that rush orders were placed for more grading -machines, the need of which seemed so urgent they were shipped by_express. The erading for “Standard” more apples into the hecld stvie of pack, rowers felt unn<e ssary required by apples the law forces many cull. flie than in fact several they were suffering an hardship by baving so of their apples excluded. while the law, but continued to pack in the old way, had a greater number of racked boxes to sell, however, = the net feturns to all packing under the have been greater, a better de- mand at advancing prices developed as soon as the buying public realized what the law meant, and too much can not be said in its favor. Buyers Want “Standard” Several English buyers made the city of Watsonville their temporary home and several hundred car loads of apples were purchased by them very early in the season for the markets of Great Britain. This is the first year in many, apples have sold in Watsonville f. o. b.- for for- eign markets, and the practical work- ing of “The Standard Apple Act of 1915” is fully demonstrated by the fact that nearly all inquiries for ap- ples are for “Standard” while the price asked and received is from ten to twenty cents per box better than for apples packed without the offi- cial inspection required by the law. As the benefits to be derived by operating under the provisions of this law become known, all other apple producing sections of the state should be quick to avail themselves of these privileges. EXCHANGE PROFESSOR FROM FRANCE AT HARVARD Prof. Maurice Caullery, President of Zoological Society, Selected. Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 1.—Professor Maurice Caullery, president . of the Zoological Soclety of France, has been selected as the exchange professor from France at Harvard university, it was announced today. Professor Caullery, who has been lecturing be- fore various colleges and universities in France for years, will be at Har- vard during the semester beginning in strates the wisdom of its enactment. While the law is not compulsory, and packers are mnot forced to pack under i, a great majority of the growers and otbers interested in th apple Industry in Watsonville, which is the center of the largest apple pro- ducing district within the state of California, were quick to appreciate the benefits to be derived by taking advantage of its provisions and an organization under the name of the Watsonville Apple Distributors was formed by bankers, merchants, pack- ers and shippers in the city of Wat- sonville, and growers of apples in the Pajaro Valley within a radius of fifteen miles as soon as the law was approved by the governor. Soon after a_conference meeting of the State Civil Service commission was held and an examination of appli- cants for state inspectors was ar- ranged for and held at a later date. Officlal Stamp. A stamp was also provided by the state commissioner of horticulture to be placed on boxes of apples inspected and packed under the provisions of the law. = Realizing this stamp would be evidence of compliance with the law, it was made to attract attention, and was circular in form, with the great seal of the state in the center, sur- rounded by “California Standard Ap- ple-Act of 1815” in white letters and fgures on a red back ground, and its appearance has been most favorably commended upon. These stamps are sold by the state at one-half cent per box and each box of apples packed “Standard” mpst have a stamp there- on, which is cancelled with a rubber stamp showing the date packed and Inspected. The inspectors are paid by the state and it is confidentlv be- January next. MEMBER OF MAXIMILIAN'S EXPEDITION TO MEXICO Charles Edward Rucker Died at San Diego Yesterday.
