Messrs Hagberg and Sullivan, the owners, have purchased the CIiff street prop- erty just in the rear of their Main street lot and will move the present house back to that lot, this meani that the front building will have thre floors of entirely new construction. The property on which the new building is to be erected was formerly owned by J. W. Carter, but was re- cently purchased from him by Messrs. Hagberg and Sullivan. It is located just west of the Shea property on Main street. The new Chamber of Commerce buiiding will have two large stores on the first floor, and both of these have been rented and will be occupied just as soon as they are ready. There will be six large assembly rooms on the second floor, and most of these have been leased by the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce for their headquarters, and as both the owners are enthusiastic members of that body they have decided to name the building the’ Chamber~of Commerce building. The owners will have flats on the third floor, of seven rooms each, steam heated, and bathrooms for all. Archi- tect C. H. Preston has the work in charge. Frame Garage on Grosvenor Place.

High Tension Power House Is Being Pushed Along Rapidly. ‘A matter of a few weeks will see the brick work of thé new high ten- sion power house of ‘the Shore Line Blectric| Co. off Williams street, near the foot of Chappell's hill, completed and the work on the conerete roof commenced. The structure ie being built on Connecticut college grounds, well back from the street, in order that the state law forbidding the run- ning of. high tension cables on thor- oughfares, will not be violated. Run- ning from the north side.of the build- ing, through specially in- sulating tubes, will be six high tension cables which. after following a course through the flelds and woods west of the Norwich road will join the Shore Liné cirouit at a point approved by the state commissioners above Thames- ville. Power will be suplied for the entire line between Norwich and this city by. the local station. Absolute fireproof is the plan in the erection of the new building. With the exception of the extreme upper por- tion, which will not come into con- tact with the high tension cables in any form, .the building will be con- structed on fireproof material _with concrete and brick as the chief build- ing materials. About five feet under the surface of the ground has been set a concrete water table and. built on that are the foundation . walls.' These .walls are of brick and are 24 inches acrose. The _ brick; walls continue - to . the height of the building and it is esti- mated that when the last brick has been laid there will be about 288,000 in_the structure. s The highest _portion of the build- ing_proper will be 33 feet and elght inches which will be in the centre of _ the - structure. . Rising on either side of the central portion will be. the high tension wings, each wing being 24 feet in height. The outside dimen- sions of the entire building wil be 43 feet and three inches wide by 77 feet, six inches long. The build- ing will face on a new street being cut west from Williams street. ELLINGTON. Handsome Colonial Residence Built for Mi H. Aborn. A beautiful colonial house, the most pretentious modern residence in El- lington, has been completed for M. H. Aborn. and adds mmch to the appear- ance of Maple street. It is located just west of the Hall Memorial Li- bary. . The- house is of Georgian Co- lonial architecture, the large columns and portico forming the main decora- tive feature of the building, which is of frame construction, with-hollow tile foundations, and covered with asphalt shingles. The pergola constructed on one side wijl occupy an important place in the scheme of landscape gardening to be employed, and two large verandas, ome on either side of the house, apart-from the portica will give fresh air living rooms at any time of the day. One of these . verandas will be inclosed with-glass during the colder months of the year, and will be screened for summer use. At the second floor is a balcony in the center of the portico. Connected with the veranda. off the living room is a porte cochere approached frem -the - street house has been rented to a tenant who is already occupying it - FISHER’S ISLAND. W. G. Wilbur is having extensive alterations made in the interior of his store. - A number of partitions _have been taken down and several of the rooms enlarged, repainted, new shelves made, and in fact the inter- ior has been almost completely chang- ed and very greatly improved in ap- pearance. The work is under the di- rection of James McDonald head clerk at the store. The work mostly is be- ing done by the men of Stetson & Young of Norwich, who have come ere to do the work on the bungalow ¢ Mrs. Hoffert, and the cottage of Captain Griffing. MIDDLETOWN. Plans are being made for interior alterations to the house on Wash- ington strest for G. G. Petrocelli. The first floor will be arranged for an office, consultation room and apart- by a winding gravel drive, which forms a loop in front of the garage at the Tear ‘of the _house. Wide concrete walks are laid across the front of the property on the approach to the main -entrance, under the pergola, and on either side of .the house. The main entrance hall which is twelve feet wide, occupies the center of -the house, with wide, easy stairs leading to the second floor. To the right of the hall through a large arch opening, is the living room, which is 18 by 25 feet, which opens into the dining room and to the left the library,, which is 16 by 16 feet. From the rear of the hall, a wide passage leads to the den and kitchen on one side, to the dining room on the' other side which is fitted with china closet and plate rail. Between the kitchen and dining room is a-butlers pantry, and off the kitchen is a cold pantry, with bullt-in refrigerator, service ¥ and closet. Also at the rear of the main hall is & large toilet room and clothes closet. ‘With the exception of the kitohen woodwork, which is in the natural | Snish and the den, the entire first "|sna a nait floor is of mahogany finish, with oak, floors “throughout ‘the living room: On the second floor are five bed- rooms, a bat sewing room clothes closet, § -by ‘12 feet, of cedar, feot 'M"!fifl,:‘ o full ‘of the "house. the ground the walls should be doubl and the entire building well insulated. Good results In hatching are frequent- ly obtained In Incubator rooms em- tirely abave ground, out cellars which are one-half or more in the ground are more likely to give satisfactory re- sults because of the greater ease with which the. temperature is controlied and because of the lesser evaporation below the surface of the ground. incubator room should be large enough i Bales én ] Fg {WASTES OF MANURE. Can Be Preventsd By Compacting and _ Storing Under Cover. According to English investigators, observations were. made on the losses heaps of manure sfored 'in ‘the open and under sheiter.. Of two-heaps stored in the open, one lost 25 per cent. of i to allow the. attendant to work around | Tue, the machines conveniently. ‘The accidental hitting of a .therm stat. or regulator has more than once | g, caused the ruin of a good hatch. There are systems of ventilation advocated for incubator cellar, any of which are eatisfactory so long as they- do not create a direct draft om any of.the machines. There seems to be nothing better for taking care of the air in in- cubator rooms than windows covered with. cloth curtaing. This material being such that it will permit a grad- ual current of air to pass through all of the time. \This provides good ven- tilation without drafts and at the same time prevents the sun from shin- ing on the machines. There should be at least twd”of.these windows and Where there are more than - three m: chines four because the kerosene lamps used for providing heat burn up a great deal of oxygen and give off a comsiderable amount of carbon. It is well to have an incubator cel- lar with a concrete floor because it can be kept more sanitary and is easi- er_to clean. When incubators are run in house celiars or in a room which by insurance, poultrymen should be sure to obtain a permit from their in- surance companies before starting their machines. Many of the best in- cubators have heating _appliances which are approved by the- national association of underwriters and for a very few cents per month a permit can be obtained to run these machines in buildings covered by insurance. Any man who runs an Incubator in an in- sured building without a permit can- not obtain anything ffom his company in case of fire and the risk is not Worth' the price. SANITARY MILK PAILS. Some of the Essentials Which Should Get Proper Attention. According to Prof. Nicholls of the Kentucky Experiment Station the es- sentials’ of a sanitary milk pail are first, that it shall be provided with a smalil opening; second. that all seams and grooves shall be flushed with. sol- der to obliterate - the crevices which harbor bacteria; third, that provision be made for pouring out the milk over gn uncontaminated surface; and, fourth, that the pail shall be of pro- per haight for convenience in milking. A emall opening in the milk pail is necessary to reduce the chance for dirt and other foreign material to get into the milk. This opening should be as small as possible without reducing its size to the point where it will be unduly difficult to draw the milk into it. From the standpoint of cleanliness the smaller the better. In practice it is not advisable.to bave the opening smaller than six inches in diameter. The flushing of the seams of the pail prevents the lodgment of curdy mate- rial and bacteria. Provision for pour- ing out the milk over an uncontami- nated “surface is important because the edge of the pail is easily contami- nated by foreign matter falling upon it and -rubbing against the leg of the cow or the-soiled clothing of the milk- er. If the pail is provided with a cap: ped spout this furnishes an uncon- taminated surface over which the milk may be poured when the pail is emptied. SELECTING SEED VARIETIES. Experiments Should Not Be Con- ducted “on Tob ‘Large a Scale. Gardeners and truck _growers who have not already : placed .their orders for the necessary supply of seed are now thinking a great deal about the matter of varleties and of purchasing their seed. This is the time of year when. seedsmen are sending beautiful catalogs to many people and will gladly send them to others who would like them. There is very much inter- est and enjoyment for one who loves vegetables in studying the different catalogs at this time of year. Those who grew vegetables last vear learned a t deal from their mistakes as well as from their suc- cesses, and_will plan as far as pos- sible 'to escape repeating their fail- ures this vear. In many cases fail- ures were due to selection of poor varietfes. It is mot always advissble 0 select varieties which are starred sutomatic water pum, which is fed from ‘an artesian weel OLD SAYBROOK. + Frederick 8, Chapman, selectman, has received a petition with the Te- quired number of sl for a town meeting, to ‘whether to use part of the town hall or to build a struc- ture on the land near there for a post- office. Anywhere but up the etreet is : The meet- and 7,9 in the other. and there was loss ¢ phoapohric. acid. o n large loss of nitrogen as gompared with the unsprinkied manure eap. The conclusion is reached that the loss of nitrogen from an exposed nure heap is not.due to volatiliza- tion of ammonia to the extent that it s generally supposed to be nor en- tirely to -leaching, but that a consid- erable proportion ‘of the loss is due to the fact that nitrates are formed on the the surface of the manure; these nitrates are washed down by the rain- fall into the interior of the heap and are rapldly decomposed with ‘the es- cape of free nitrogen. Qbservations indicate that considerable loss in nitro. gen results from any turning over or moving of the manure heap. % mei;olults“ in :On;.rll indicate that losses in manure can be practical vented by compacting and -mnnb;m der cover. They show that the pump- ing of liquid manure on to a manure heap does not reduce the loss. .. - WISE CHOICE OF SEED CORN. A great many farmers will find when it comes time to plant corn that they have reserved a very emall portion of corn for seed purposes. Many will realize that tI have fed their best corn instead ho‘z'-vm it for this purpose. Coni tly it seems advisable to draw the attention of those ‘who have not selected seed orn yet to do if necessary from their erib a_large proportion of it has been fed. In many Instances it may be found ‘better to get this seed corn your neighbor who has taken considérable pains to select his seed rather than “to select it from your ows crib. Too much attention cannot be given ‘to this matter as it is the seed’s vitality . and breeding Wwhich will determine to quite a large extent the yield of corn per acre. It costs no more to raise corn produced from good seed than that from poor seed, but results on the other -hand are much more favorable. _This same principle applies. to all farm. seeds. Special care should be taken to select it and then' before planting see. that. it has good vitality. BLIGHT-PROOF KIDNEY BEAN. The_horticultural ~adviser recently had the pleasure of meeting the origi- nator of a blight-proof kidney bean and seeing some of the beans. These are highly ‘récommended by the ex- periment station at Geneva, N. Y. John O. Wells of Shortsville, N. Y., has been widely distributing seed to his friends with the understanding that they should never:aell the seed to seed growers. " The experiment station last year tried to inoculate his beans with blight under most favorable con- ditions, yet did mot succeed. All who grew his variety last year reported o the experiment station that the blight did not trouble them at ail The kidney bean is an attractive bean. and the horticultural adviser does not hesitate to suggest that market gar- deners in_this . section - get in touch with Mr. Wells and purchase a small quantity of eeed for trial this coming spring.” He is a practical grower who is very much interested in seeing pro- gressive movements succeed, and be- cause of his interest in farmers and their welfare has turned down re- peatedly fine offers from seed growers for control of his seed.
