i | For Tenement Housee In Bridgeport | Amounting to Third of Million. | Bales of real estate by warranty | deed in the cities of the state reported | by The Comercial Record last week ! numbered 321, as against 374 for the { same week of last year, while mort- ' gage loans totaled $1,054,244, as com- ! pared with $630,277 in the correspond- ing week last year. The bankruptcy record makes the Dest showing of the year so far, but one petition peing filed last week, with assets of $660 and liabilitles of $740. Five petitions, having aggregate as- sets of $6,315 and liabilities of $17,761 were filed last year in the correspond- ing week. The eleven new incorporations last week have aggergate capital stock of 0920,000, comparing with 13 new com- panies organized last year, having to- tal capitalization of $1,282,500. Building permits were issued last week in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury and Stamford to the number of 133, for structures costing $851,400, the large increase over last vear being caused by the starting of many new houses in Bridgeport for the Remington Arms Co. Last year in the first year of the month 90 permits were issued in the same cities for buildings costing $256,- 190. The largest contract awarded last week was in Bridgeport, where work has been started on some 60 houses of one and four-family type for the Remington Arms Co. The work will ‘ cost nearly $350,000 and is but the beginning of what will be known as Remington City. Other contracts let include residence work in New Haven, Hartford and Stamford, addition to business block in Hartford, public garage in Bristol, business blocks in New Britain and Greenwich and sev- eral small factory additions in New Haven. New work reported during the week throughout the state includes church and parish house, store and apartment building, factory adition and many smaller projects in New Haven, brick factory in Bristol, addition to public garage in Norwalk, brick rectory in Waterbury, public garage in the same city, residences in Hartford, Stamford and Bridgeport, several frame cottages in Milford, besides many one and two- family houses in all parts of Connec- ticut. Norwich had four sales of real es tate last week to three a year ago, the fortgage loans for the respective weeks being $1,550 and $1050. In New London last week there were three sales of realty to four a year ago, and the loans for the respective weeks were $3,000 and $1,500. SAYS ACID STOMACH CAUSES INDIGESTION Excess of hydrochloric acid sours the food and forms gases. Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hy- per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom- ach which prevents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive alds and instead, get from any pharm- acy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to con- tinue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive Juices Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people tm; stomach trouble with excellent re- sults.

Shingling Slater Avenue Houses. “The buildings for the Norwich Hous- ing company which are being ereoted on Slater avenue are being pushed along as fast as can be expected. The four houses have all been closed in, the roofs partly shingled and some of the outside shingling has been started. C. M. Williams has the contract for the erection of the houses. Apartment Houses or Block. The Norwich Housing company, which purchased the Satterlee proper- formerly owned by the Stoddard estate, will change the residence now on the property to a two-tenement, with hot and cold water, baths, steam heat, etc. On the balance of the land it is now intended to build either two apartment houses of a layout similar to the other houses or building in block form. This property is close to the business center, where workmen can easily reach home for dinner and back in time for an hours nooning. The property is just adjoining the schoolhouse on the East Side. Excavating Well Along. Work on the Sullivan-Hagbers prop- erty is being pushed for the new block on Main street. The cellar has been excavated nearly to the building size, without as yet finding any ledge, which is surprising when it is remembered how much ledge was found at the new postoffice site, also at the Marion when built. The owners had been undecided as to the size of the cellar because of the uncertainty of the ledge, but now every indication points to its being un- der the whole building. Mr. Sullivan will do the mason work himself on this building and intends making a dec- orative structure. The sides and rear will be dark red in color, laid in ce- ment mortar, and the front will be in tapestry buff, in matching mortars, and gray stone trim will be used. ' The roof will be five ply with slag and will now be hustled to completion, as full building temants are now ready to oc- cupy the three stories in total. Residence at Glasgo. Plans are being completed for a re: idence for Rev. R. C. Morrissey at Glasgo, Conn., to be 34x38, two stories in height, with hip roofs, fireplaces, hardwood floors, hard plaster, steam heat, etc. Plans are expected to be finished this week or early next week for estimating. Ready for Roof. The unfavorable weather during the past week has checked the progress on the bakery which Fenton Bros. are erecting for Emil Fox in the rear of Chestnut street. The walls are up and ready for the roof, the window sashes and frames have been installed and if the weather permits the roof will be put on in two or three days. House Practically Done. Jeremiah Lynch’s house on Perkins avenue is practically completed except some of the painting and other small things, and it is expected that Mr. Lynch will move into his new home in a short while. George Allen was the contractor. Texas Company’s Office. The Texas company are erecting an office building on Erin street near their barn. The building will be of frame construction, one story, with_ shingled roof. It will be 10x1 feet, with electric 2lights and toilet. The building will rest on concrete pillars and work has Dbeen started. The Texas company have purchased two new black horses. Buildings at Mansfield. The contract for the erection of buildings at Mansfield for the Con- necticut training school for feeble- minded has been awarded to Doyle & Murphy of this ci The contract calls for six buildings, including a power house, laundry, Kitchen, employ- es' quarters, dormitory and custody. The power house will be 50x73 feet, laundry 48x112, kitchen 50x100, and ali three buildings will be one story, while the other three will be two stories. The dimensions of the other three follow: Employes’ quarters 32x81, cus- tody 35x136, with two 27-foot wings, and dormitory 55x80. All buildings will be of brick material, with tile floors ang steel window sash. Work is to be started as soon as possible. Architects Cudworth, Wood- worth & Thompson drew the plans. Alterations in Office. Interior alterations in_the office of Architects Cudworth, Woodworth & Thompson are under way. The office will be repainted and decorated and panel wainscoting will be installed. MIDDLETOWN. . O. Stone & Son have been award- ed the contract for the carpenter work and Denis O'Brien the mason work for two factory buildings to be erected at South Farms for the Russell Manufac- turing Co. One building will be 96x216 feet, one story high, built of concrete, and will be used as a weaving shed. The other will be 80x100 feet, two stories and basement, built of rein- forced concrete with wood floors. This building will be used as a combina- tion machine shop and carpenter shop. 1t will have a plastic slate roof. Plans are completed for a new resi- dence to be erected on Mt. Vernon street for John Bruce, Williams street. It will be 28x38 feet, of frame con- struction, and will contain seven rooms, with furnace heat, electric lights and hardwood finish. The contract has been awarded for the hardware in the residence being remodeled on Washington street for Mrs, E. C. Acheson. Work will be started in a few days on the erection of a new store at 32 Ferry street for Antonio Amenta. SOUTH MANCHESTER. Wm. Knofla has been given the con- tract for remodeling the Park theatre for Manager Sullivan. It is expected that the work will be done In about three weeks. NEW LONDON. The work on the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the structure building on Huntington street for the Polish people of the city, is going along as rapidly as the weather will allow. The floors have been laid and the plaster boards are in position. It is expected that two months will see it ready for occupancy. The building is an attractive struc- ture of red brick with white facings. The Interior affords a considerable floor area. At the south end are spaces for a main altar with two smaller altars, one on either side, and retiring rooms. The north end will be used for school purposes. Even- tually it is planned to erect a church edifice on the Main street side of the property now occupied by a dwelling and then to use the building now un- der construction for a schoolhouse only. Building Permits. The following building applications have been granted: Ida L. Chittenden, ,wood structure, 12x22, at corner Granite and Wil- liams streets.

At this time when all the milk pro- ducers are to have an opportunity to see and hear the latest developements in the investigation that is being un- dertaken in the milk industry of New England, it would be well to consider some of the statements made by Lyon Weyburn in an address before the Twentieth Century Club of Boston. “Time was when the men of strength in the management of our in- stitutions came as often from the country as from the city. Little more than half a century ago many, per- haps most, of our governors, senators, judges, preachers, trustees of Har- vard and Yale colleges, men who led the community in every branch of its activity came from the remote coun- ty seats and country towns which for most of us are now little more than names on our railway time-tables. Not only were these men born and bred in the democratic atmosphere of the country but after they had risen to places of influence and honor they continued to reside upon their farms, or in country towns where they min- 67 West Main Street Robert J.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any- thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easly, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive ofl. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. It's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for months. F. C. WARNER England. But those days are gone. For more than two generations our ablest and most ambitious men moved into the cities with their families and interests, until the word “farmer” came to be used to denote ridicule or contempt. Fortunately a reaction has now set in, but in the meantime the degeneration of our old New Eng- land stock has in many sections re- sulted in a deplorable ~condition on the farms. The fertility of the soil has not been maintained and gross inefficiency and carelessness have brought many communitles to a standstill. While our cities have pros- pered, the adjoining country has de- clined until now our independent farming class, once the back-bone and mainstay of our community, has be- come dependent and helpless and un- able properly to protect even its own interests. More than one hundred and sixty thousand milk producers in New England today are accepting Wwhatever may be offered them for their product —for many the only substantial product of their farms— and are hardly making ends meet tro!n Vvear to year—struggling, as they claim, against conditions over which they have no control. That there is something wrong with the rairy industry in New England is a commonplace—yet few, except directly engaged in the business, fully realize the utter unnaturalness of the situation. Scattered along the coast, or within a hundred miles of it, be- tween Portland and New Haven, are cities with an aggregate population of over five million persons. ‘This pop- ulation consumes daily seventy-five carloads of milk and cream aggregat- ing more than half a million quarts, Probably at least an equal amount is Qelivered to consumers direct from the farm in wagons and motor-trucks. This daily influx of milk and cream is an indispensable part of the food supply of these cities.

The supply of fluid milk for the Metropolitan district of Boston —originally drawn almost wholly from Connecticut, Massachu- setts, and southern New Hampshire, is every year drawn more and more from Maine, northern New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Canada. This change is a positive detriment to the latter districts, for the milk now ship- ped to Boston was formerly consumed in the manufacturing creameries and in converting skim milk into calves, poultry, and hogs, and it represents a total loss to the farms of southern New England.” Mr. J.

SYNTHETIC PRODUCTION OF NITROGEN IN THIS COUNTRY Called for in Resolution Adopted by Naval Consulting Board. New York. Mstch S—The naval consulting board of the United States at a meeting here today adopted a resolution requesting Secretary of the Navy Daniels to urge upon President Wilson the creation of 2 commission to make effective the synthetic pro- duction Of nitrogen in this country Such production was declared to be immediately vital to agricultural and military interests of the country. The board discussed the question of manufacturing nitrogen from air for American powder plants, emphasis being given to the point that _the United States is dependent upon Chile for the product and that war condi- tions have made its price prohibi- tive. The commission mentioned in the resolution to Secretary Daniels should include, it was suggested, representa- tives of the departments of agricul- ture, interior, war and navy and should submit a report “at the ear- liest moment.” Discussion of the situation included propositions to have a government- built planz, to make water power now controlled 'by the government avail- able to manufacturing groups which may desire to manufacture nitrogen from air and to allow such groups ac- cess to coal mines on government lands, so that cheap fuel would be accessible to factories Statements were made that capital without a government subsidy would hesitate to undertake the manufac- ture of synthetic nitrogen in view of a_probability that after the war the product would not bring a profit.

The use of lime on the land is a yery ancient practice, writes W. L. Slate Jr., of The Argonomy department of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege. When the Romans invaded Bri- tain they found its use very common in the “chalk” regions and the value of lime in its various forms has al- ways been recognized by agricultural writers of the last several centuries. Recent years have seen a marked in- crease in its use in central and north eastern United States. The effects of lime.—These may be listed as follows: 1. It corrects soll acldity. Many crops, especially the clovers, alfalfa and soy beans do not thrive well on acid soils. If for no other reason than the production of clover hay the use of lime Is justified on Connecticut farms. 2. It suplies the soil with a base which makes the use of fertilizers more effective. 3. It makes the conditions for bac- terial life more favorable. Forms—Lime is obtainable in sev- eral forms— 1. Ground Limestone—This is about 50 per cent active lime (CaO) and should be ground fine enodgh to pass through a 60 mesh sieve. Marl is about the same composition. 2. Hydrated Lime —When fresh burned lime is slaked it takes on about one-third of its weight of water. Hy- drated lime therefore contains 65-70 per cent active lime (CaO) and may be_either air slaked or water slaked. 3. Burned or Mason's Lime—This is the product of the lime kilns and may run as high as 98 per cent active lime (Ca0). Of the three forms, the ground Itme- stone is the most pleasant to handle and is usually the cheapest, everything considered. About twice as much is required as of fresh burned lime and the purchaser must be guided by the distance from the source of supply and the price. Never buy except on analysis. A small percent of magnesia is not objectionable. Neew of lime—Practically necticut soils need lime. Tests at the experiment stations on a large num- ber of samples have shown a require- ment of from 1 to 4 tons of ground limestone, the average being from 2 to 3 tons. The litmus paper test is not reliable. If you are in doubt as to the amount of lime to aply, send a sample of your soil to the Storrs Ex- periment tion, Storrs, Connecticut. (Directions for sampling will be sent lication). en and How to Apply.—Lime is best appliea when fitting for a cult vated crop like corn. Spread it on the the ploughed field and harrow in. This gives time for the lime to become ef- fective before clover is seeded. Top dressing grass land with lime is sel- dom profitable. If the amount applled is large enough to supply the need of the soil, another application will not be neces- sary for several years. Also subse- quent aplications need not be so heavy. If at all possible, this plan should be the one adopted. Moderate applica- tions are, however usually profitable. A lime sower does the best work in applying but is not necessary. Any method that will spread fairly evenly will do. A BIGGER ALFAL.FA CROP. It Should Have Good Soil and Good Supply of Phosphorous and Lime. all Con- There will undoudtedly be many dairymen who will endeavor to gréw alfaifa for the first time in their livws during the scason of 1916. There will also be many who have undertaken it in the past who will try again. Since it is a crop that has been demonstra- ted of such great value both in feed- ing and as a crop producer, why then should not more people undertake to grow it? There are certain things that must be done before success is attained. There shouid be a fairly good sofl, well drained, well suppled with phos- phorus and calcium or lime. To do this at least three or four tons of lime per acre will probably be necessary to get the most profitable result. An al- falfa grower from New Jersey says that he recommends no_less than four tons for any soils in New Jersey. No doubt soils in this section are just as acid as in that section. It is not us- ually until after several attempts where only small amounts of lime have been applied that success is obtained. This means that the soil has to be filled with sufficient lime to be a good home for the bacteria which live on the alfalfa roots. These bacteria hould be added to the soll artificially at first, and one of the best ways of doing that is by the use of spreading soil upon the fields or by the inocu- lating of seed. GRAPE VINE PRUNING. Results In Larger Fruit and Better Quality. Many grape vines bear very satis- factory crops without any pruning whatever, due in most cases to very favorable conditions of soil or loca- tion and not because they are un- pruned. We naturall the ques- tion, why should grapes be pruned if they will bear without any pruning? The object is to secure the maximum quantity, per vine, of the _highest quality fruit. It may be true that two vines, under the same conditions, ex- cept, that one is pruned and the other is not, will produce the same amount of fruit, but the fruit from the pruned :'lnu will be larger and of better qual- ty. ; It is necessary to understand the growth of a vine If we are to work in- telligently, advises S. P. Hollister of the horticultural departfent of the state college. Wild or unpruned vines often spread over large areas and have arms or branches varying in length from a few feet to several hundred feet. If we study these vines carefulty we notice that the most vigorous year- ly growth is toward the ends of these branches. As the fruit is produced upon these young growths, conse- quently the fruit is far from the main stem. The grapes which will ripen during the fall of 1916 will be produced upon branches which will develop from the buds which grew in 1915. Thus if one were to cut away the last seasons growth he would lose his crop. There are many systems of training grapes and the pruning varies with each system but the main points to be considered are the cutting away of the older wood and the thinning out of the last seasons growth. Each bud which is left to devolop on the new wood is capable of producing on an average of three bunches of grapes; thus if you think your vine can ma ture thirty bunches of grapes leav ten buds on the plant. But in actual practice we do not figure quite as closely and leave four or five main branches with four or five buds each. Old or neglected grape vines may not produce any fruit the first season after pruning because it may have been necessary to remove all of the young branches in putting the vine in shape. The season for pruning grapes is any time after the leaves are off in the fall until late winter. If pruning f& delayed untll the warm daye of early INTERESTS spring the vines will bleed, while this bleeding will not kill the vines it does | them no good. If pruning has been delayed until spring do the work on cold wintry days when there is less danger of the vines bleeding. It is better to prune late than not at all. CARE OF SITTING HENS.
