A very large increase is shown in the number of new joint companies formed in Connecticut during the past week as compared with the like week a year ago. For the past week 17 new were organized, companies as_com- ered with eight last year, while the total capitalization the past week amounted to $1,240,000, as against §285,000 last vear.

Housing Company Buildings. Contractor Williams is pushing the cellar and foundation work for the twenty houses which he is to erect for the Norwich Housing Company, the houses to be used for the accom- modation of the employes of the Hop- kins & Allen Arms Company. Four of the cellars on the Spring Garden avenue lots are now all in and the six remaining cellars on Spring Gar- den Avenue are nearly stoned up. At Rockwell street three of the cellars are dug and one is nearly stoned up. Two cellars on the Broad street s have been started. Contractor Wil- liams has not yet started work on the cellars to be dug at the Slater lots just acquired by the Norwich Housing Company but will have his men at work there just as soon as possible.

In to make The grou Therefore th hotbeds should possible. d be made choosing a location for a hotbed, one should consider the source’ of an adequate water supply whether it is near at hand or not or whether runn: water can be pro- vided. A great deal of r is need- ed for the beds du: eason and | this is of great importance. | In addition to hav water near by, prepara- 4 will who one should also c r the need of having the hotbeds in convenient lo- cation to the farm building uring | the la winter and eariy | months, these beds demand a od | deal of attention and it is quite es- sential t they be near the home | where members of the family can at- | t to them if necessar Also a pot- ting room where do lxu«r»~} planting should be handily located.| The beds should be perfe protect- | ed from the severe w and the | west winds. This protection can oft- entimes be most_secured by locating near buildings. When necessary, it can be accomplished by constructing rd walls about féet hign on the | bed | and westerly side of the veral hotbeds or cold frames | ed, they should run parallel space of three or four feet be- tween them for convenience in remov- ing sash and mats. Beds should not be more than 30 feet in length with- out a break unless for special rea- sons such as h-priced land. These | breaks are necessary for a place upon which to put the mats and sash. Natural drainage should, of course, be considered along with these other The beds should not be lo- cated where there is not good natural | drainage or artificial drainage cannot | be easily obtained. Most hotbeds in | this section are heated by heat from the fermentation of manure. There- fore it will be necessary to dig the beds quite deep. From 12 to 18 inch- es of manuwe are placed in each bed with 4-6 inches of dirt on top of that. A space of 6-10 inches is left between the surface of the soil and the glass for air and space for the plants to gro This therefore means that the beds should not be less than 24 inches deep and generally nearly 30 inches. They are always six feet wide as the| sashes are six feet by three feet. They are therefore in length some multiple of three feet to accommodate the sash | The back part of the bed is raised x feet higher than the front in or- der that there may be good water drainage on the sash and also so that the sun’s rays will reach all plants in the bed. Beds should face the south wherever possible. Dirt or manure is banked around the back part of the bed to give protection. The frame of the bed is generally made of wood although concrete is coming into quite general use. Two-inch chestnut plank is good to use. Two to four inch chestnut or locust posts are used In corners and every six feet along the front and back. Cross pieces are placed across the top from front to back every six feet to keep the sides from caving in. These cross pieces should never be larger than two by three inches as they would otherwise shade the ground. | After this part of the hotbed prepa- ration is completed this fall, the rest| of the work can be done through the winter or early spring such as the glazing and painting of the sash,| making of mats, preparation of sta- ble manure, soil, etc. It might be| well, however, to have available a suf- ficient amount of good loam to be used | for the soil in the bed. This might! be soil has been composted for | several months of rich garden soil | mixed with weil-rotted stable manure. | Some of the advantages of hotbeds are that summers are to short to ma- | e profitably some of our crops such celery, egg plants, Vesetables placed on their normal sea- son bring gnm] prices.

With five heifers this would amount to $400 for every year. or $1200 for three years' service. Whereas the taxes, risks are greater with the good than with the scrub, the increased cost for the total would be very small, due to this factor.

Bulletin 122 of the Nebraska Sta- tion gives the results of a comparison of corn silage and sugar beets with two lots of five cows each, fed for a period of five weeks. Both lots were fed from six to ten pounds per head daily of a concentrate ration consist- ing of equal parts of oats, corn and wheat bran. Lot 1 received daily 30 pounds of corn silage and 10 pounds of alfalfa hay. Lot 2 received daily 30 pounds of sugar beets and 10 pounds of alfalfa hay. Lot 1 pro- duced an average daily yield of 17.4 Eounds, as against 16.1 pounds for lot Bulletin 240 of the Michigan Sta- tion gives the results of a test with 40 cows to determine whether or not the addition of roots to a ration con- | sisting of corn silage, clover hay and grain would increase the milk yield. The cows were divided into two. lots, one receiving the regular ration with roots added. The studies were con- tinued for-a period of three years, and every 26 days the two lots exchanged places as respects the feeding roots. the results were tabulated, of which the following is a summary: Ration 1, consisting of 18.3 pounds, roots, 30.6 | pounds, corn silage, 5 pounds, clover hay and 9.2 pounds grain, the daily feed per cow, gave an average dail milk yield of 23.8 pounds. Ration whidh was exactly the same at Ration 1, except the roots were not included, gave an average daily milk yield of 22.5 pounds per cow. It was con- that the slight gain in favor of roots did not offset the cost of growing and handling the roots. BATTLE WITH GARDEN PESTS.

LIGHTER BREEDS RESPOND TO CLIMATIC CONDITIONS Weather Brings Down Egg Yield By Over 200 from Previous Week .In Storrs Contest. The performance of the hens in the ixth week of the laying contest at Storrs w; pretty fair illustration of the common belief that the lighter breeds are more responsive to cli- matic conditions and more quickly affected by the vicissitudes and in- clemency of the weather. The week Just ended was one of cold, cloudy, windy days. During this period the Plymouth Rocks averaged 15 eggs per pen, the Wyandottes nearly 20, and the Rhode Island Reds 18; ereas the Leghorns averaged only 14 eggs per pen and the Anconas 10 eggs per pen. This falling off by the lighter breeds brought down the total yield for the week to 1544 or nearly 200 eggs less than for the preceding week. Mrs, R. W. Stevens' pen of White Wyandottes from Stillwater, N. Y., won first position for the week with a production of 44 eggs, not only this but the pen was the first since the contest started to vield 10 eggs in any one day. Tom Barron's pen of the same breed from Catforth, England, was second for the week with a yield jof 43 eggs and Jules F. Francais’ pen of Barreq Rocks from West Hampton Beach, L. I. were third with a produe- tion of 40 for the week. Whenever the weather conditions are unfavorable for egg production as they were last week, then it becomes all the more important to see that the birds are properly fed. Thus it is somstimes necessary to give the hens two or three extra feeds on cold cloudy days, not much at a time but just =nough to keep them stirring around. This procedure serves two purposes; it keeps the birds off the roosts and keeps them busy and ex- ercising. Furthermore the oftener the litter is stirred up and turned over the better it serves its purpose. Lit- ter must be light and dry. The mo- ment it becomes soggy and heavy and packed down on account of damp weather and too little exercise on the part of the hens, then it is entirely unfit for use and becomes a menace to the health of the hens.
