BUILDING AND BUSINESS. What 1s Being Done Throughout Con- necticut. Real estate sales for the past week in Connecticut numbered 87, a decided galn over the same week of last year, when the sales by warranty deed numbered 271. Mome loans for the week were $891,5635, as compared with $928,761 for last year. New companies formed in Connec- ticut during the week numbered six with authorized capital stock of $189, 000, which compares with seven inco porations for the same week of last year, with aggregate capital stock of $215,000. Only two petitions in bankruptcy with assets of $3,026 and liabilities of $5,287 were filed during the week. This compares most favorably with the same period of last year, when seven petitions were filed with assets of $4,199 and liabilities of $28,061. In the cities of New Haven, Bridge- port, Hartford, Waterbury and Stam- ford, 90 building permits for buildings whose estimated cost aggregated $366,- 137, were issued during the week. In this week of last year, 96 permits for buildings to cost $576,895 were issued in the same cities. Contracts awarded last week include nospital buildings at Mansfield Depot, residence work In Greenwich, New Haven, New London, Bridgeport,; Stratford and Hartford, family houses in Hartford and Bridgeport, three and four-family houses in New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Startford, a brick church in New Can- aan, apartment houses Norwich, Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, and a store and office building in Greenwich. Many new projects are reported among_which are new residences in New Haven, Norwich, Hartford and Bridgeport, a bank building in Mid- dletown, garages in Greenwich and Hartford, an armory in New Haven, parish house in East Haven, store and tenement blocks in New Haven and Stratford, storehouses in Groton and Hartford, a number of one, two, three, four, and six-family houses in New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Start- ford and New Britain, & church, parish housa and recto in _ Bridgeport, apartment blocks in Bridgeport and Ngw Britain, and a factory building In Hartford. Norwich had six sales of real estate during the past week to flve a year ago. The mortgage loans for the two weeks were $17,080 and $3,100. In New London there were nine sales of realty last week to three a vear ago, with mortgage loans for the respective weeks of $24,200 and $6,650. EASTERN POINT.

WARNER Boys’ and Girls' Clubs In Agriculture and Home Economics. At this season of the year boys and girls are beginning to think of sum- mer and wish that it were here so that they could get out of doors. With the mention of out of doors we are reminded that now is the time to or- ganize boys’ and girls' club in agricul- ture and home economics. A recent circular of the extenslon department of the Connecticut Agricuitural col- lege says:— Boys’ and_ girls’ club work in agri- culture and home economics has for its aim first, the mental, physical and moral development of boys and girls; second, a true appreciation of rural life and its advantages so that boys 2nd girls may be encouraged to live in the country; third, teaching improved methods of agriculture so that boys and girls may realize the dignity of farming as a business and that it pos- sesses as great possibilities as other lines of work. It is clear that in order to accom- plish these alms it is necessary that all interests of the community, in- cluding the schools, the church, other local societies, the home and individ- uals must not only be In sympathy with the movement but must also give active support in maintaining and di- recting the work. From past experi- ences it has been definitely shown that when local inter:st has been behind the work and when local leadership has been provided, club work has ac- complished -its purpose. ‘The list of clubs for 1936 is as fol- lows:—Corn clubs, for members under sixteen years of age, who are required to raise one-half acre of flint corn, and for members over sixteemn, one acre. Pota.{o clubs, whose members are re- to raise cne-eighth acre of po- mmaa and select five bushels of mfl Lt flmg time.

Each team is required to can fifty cans, five cans each of four fruits, four vegetables, and two greens. Sew- ing club members have ten lessons and may be followed by a more advanced course if circumstances warrant. Poultry club members are required to care for five birds from March 15 to July 15 and to incubate forty-five eggs, the chicks to be cared for until No- vember 1st. Dairy club members keep records of feed and production on three cows for four months. Achieve- ment clubs are the city boys and girls opportunity to cultivate sweet corn or tomatoes on one hundred square feet of land.

Can you get clover to grow on yonr farm? Why not? To get a catch, soil, temperature, and moisture con- ditions must be right; and to keep a stand, the plants must be maintained in good health. The degree of dam- age which untoward weather condi- tions will do depends largely on how healthy and vigorous the clover plant is. The conditions most favorable to the growth of the clover plant must, therefore, be studied and regulated so far as economy and circumstances will permit. Clover delights in a relative- ly cool, motst climate and in a fertile loamy soll, containing plenty of veg- etable matter, and phosphorous. Of course these ideal conditions can- not be fully realized in practice. One of the chief uses of clover is to im- prove the sofl by putting into it veg- m.rmu- have a right to M ‘to grow at least ceasomably well on soils whose fer- tility they wish to maintain or in- crease.

There are cer- taip things that clover demands, and the most important are a good supply of iime and phosphates. it There are. GROTON LONG POINT. Contractor George H. McDonald has nearly completed two cottages at Gro- ton Long Point and later has other contracts to be done. One of these houses is for Mrs. W. E. Bates of Mystic and is one of the largest on the Point. The other is for Mrs. Houston of Philadelphia. They will both be in use the coming season. is true, conditions under which clover thrives on acid soils. These condi- tions are not yet fully understood, but they appear to be related to‘cool sum- mers and plenty of moisture, which cannot be expected in most of the clover belt. It is not always easy to tell when a soil has enough lime. If trouble has been experienced with red clover, but if a fair growth of tim- othy and of alsike clover can be got- ten, the land probably needs about 1000 pounds of ground limestone per acre; if timothy and alsike clover are crowded out by redtop or if such weeds as sorrel are abundant, the land needs at least a ton of ground lime- stone to the acre. To sow red clover seed on so-called sour soil is usually a waste of time and money. County Agent Warner would like to put a clover and liming demonstration on any farm where clover could be grown, and is not at the present time. POULTRY BREEDING STRATIONS. DEMON- It may be of interest to the poul- tryman of Connecticut to know that a cooperative breeding demonstration is being organized on several commercial poultry farms by the Connecticut Agricultural &ollege extension service. The movement is to meet the ever in creasing demand for pedigreed male birds. During the present breeding season pedigree records will be kept only on contest birds having a certificate of production. During the coming year semi official trap nest records will be made on the several poultry farms un- der the supervision of the college. The method of inspection which will be used is something comparatively new and promises to be a very accurate way of checking up a bird's produc- tion. An attempt will be made to se- cure the cooperation of enough breed- ers to have all the principal breeds represented iR this demonstration. —_— e JAPANESE STEAMER DISABLED IN STORM.

Card of the poultry depart- ment at the Connecticut Agricultural College says - The best eggs will not give good strong, hm.lmx chicks unless properly incubated, and before the season's hatching has begun it is important that we consider some of the essential factors invélved in the successful op- eration of incubators. First select an incubator of some standard- make. Not all of the ma- chines on the market will give the best results under all conditions. It is to the purchaser’'s advantage to se- lect one that is adapted to his par- ticular needs. There is no certain way of determining suitability except by trial. Most manufacturers are will- ing to sell their machines on trial and the purchaser can often well afford to take advantuge of these offers. The incubator selected should have accurate and elastic heating and reg- ulating - systems, making it eas to maintain e wide range fatic conditions. well Insulated and of durable con- struction and should be as low in cost per egg capacity as is consistent with good quality and workmanship. Having selected a 3ood incubator. the next question is where to locate and operate it. A high grade m: chine wil give fairly good results un- der unfavorable conditions, but it does not follow that it pays to operate nder such conditions for, the better the conditions the baiter will be the resuits obtained. Perhaps the ideal location is a well-ventilated room without artificial heat, Iin which the temperature ranges between 45 de- grees and 60 degrees F. and in which the relative humidity does not go be- low 60 and averages about 70 per cent. An incubator that has been uzed, either during the same or the previons searon, should be thoroughly washed anddisinfected. A § per cent. solu tion of crude carbolic acid or of any of the common coal-tar disinfectants will de found satisfactory for this purpose. If the proper temperature has been reached in the cgg chamber, it is not necessary that the machine be complately dried out before putting In the egws. et the incubator perfectly level and ou-. «f reach of any possible dratt. If tie machine is not level the highest voints way become too hot. Thae ! cubator should be placed where it ¢ e n n>t he reacked by direct sunlight at any time during the day. Run the machine a few days and see that the temperature is perfectlr regulited be- jutting In the egss. shculd not be fllcd ‘oo he oll ir likely to vork out on of the bowl and un vn the burner. thns causing fufes and prob- atly svot and a smoking neatcr. Keep the brincr absolutely cleaa or tlc best lamp made will smoke and be- come dangerous. Always start with a low flame, lowirg the lamp and heater o up graduallp. Adjust the regulator and flameé so that a temperature of 102 degrees F. will be maintained, the bull: of the thermometer being on a level with the top of the ~ggs. and tae damper dise just slightly raised (about a quarter of an inch) above the heat- er. Adjust small variations in temper- ature by means of the thumb nut on the regulator. The majority of cvidence seems to indicate that the best temperature is 102 degrees T. thereafter. As incu- bation progresses and more animal keat develops within the embryos it will be found that a smaller flame will be necessary to keep the heat up to the desired point. At hatching time, after the egs have begun to pip, the temperature will probably rise to 104 degrees or 105 degrees but this should not be the cause of any alarm. Tt should not, however, beallowed to go above 105 degrees F. In case the tem- perature goes up above 105 degrees F. the incubator should be opened and the egs immediately removed and placed on a tabie or top of the incuba- tor to cool. Care should be taken to prevent all drafts or any means of suden chiliing. ‘Turn the eggs twice or three times daily, beinning on the second day and continuing up to the time they begin to pip. The trays should be turned end for end each time they are taken out in order to equalize any differ- ences In temperature but may exist in different parts of the machine. Eggs are usually tested two or three times during the incubation period. The first test should be made at the end of about seven days to re- move infertile eggs, blood rings and dead germs. As the germ, is more readily seen in white shelled eggs. they may be tested as early as the fourth of fifth day. The second test should be made at the end of fourteen days and if the first test was properly made, will consist only in taking out dead germs. Occasionally eggs are again tested on the eighteenth day to remove any embryos that have died during the last week. Always darken the Incubator as soon as the chicks begin to hatch. This will keep them more qulet and will prevent the spread of disease through their picking up infected droppings. Keep the chicks up on the tray until fifteen or twenty of them are thor- oughly dry. Do not open the door of the incubator during the hatch unless absolutely necessary, as it will allow moisture to escape and may chill some of the wet chicks. Remove the tray and egg shells as soon as the hatch is over and most of the chicks are dry. Then leave the door open from an eighth of an inch allowing fresh air to enter and thus gradually acustom the chicks to a lower temperature. This is referred to as hardening the chicks ‘The chicks should be left in the in- cubator at least thirty-six hours or until they show by their voice and ac- tion that they are really hungy. They should then be removed to the brooder using extreme care to keep them well | protected from cold or draft during the transfer. If they are chilled at this time bowel trouble is almost cer- tain to result. Some causes of poor hatches are:— (1) Variation in temperature; over- heating or chilling. (2) Excess of moisture, producing an abnormally large and weak chick. (3) Lack of molsture at hatching time, drying the membranes so that ;h‘ chick eticks fast and can not get ree. (4) Low vitality in the hatching| eggs due to inferlor breeding stock or improper care of the eggs. The in- cubator is frequently blamed for poor atches when the vitality of the breed- Ing stock is so low or the eggs have been mo carelessly handled that good | hatches would be impossible even un- | der the best natural conditions. each of considerable value in lmllnfi the causes of poor hatches and will: also acqusint the poultryman wuh the conditions in his breeding regards the fertility and anhulq of his eggs.

To secure high quality seced it is best to test several &¥fferent samples for purity and vitality. Ten to fifteen pounds of seed is the amount recom- mended, and plenty of lime must be added.

CORNSTALKS. Should Be Kept Where It Is Dry, Packed Togsther Butts Down. Cornstalks for fodder should be kept where it is dry. They should be stored in bundies, packed together In close §00d way to make the shredded Klnlka more palatable is to wel them slightly and sprinkle the grain on top of the fodder. It is possible to handle com stover in this way and have the cown consume practically all of It. It is one thing to prepare corn stover so that the cows will eat it with a relish, and annmer thing to pr that the cows are it in such a ave to eat it to kH‘p from starving. A good dairyman never forces—that s, cows into eating somet not relish. Some farmers who grow several acres of husking corn own a gasolin engine and prepare their corn stalk: for feeding by hooking on the power and shredding emough at one tlme to last a week. Other hire power of a neighbor, who has a gasoline engine. In handling corn fodder and corn stover, one should remember that the aluable part of the forage is the The larger the shocks or bun- os corn the less waste there is in handling. The leaves contain practi- cally three times as much proteln as the stalks: in fact corn leaves compare quite favorably with timothy hay. Some farmers appreciate this and when they grow corn foder-—it is call- ed “sowed corn” in some sections—it is cut before frost and put up in large shocks to cure slowly, as one cures clover hay in the cock in order to pre- serve the leaves and heads. ™ hisks, too, contain more protein than the stalks; hence, the ad bility of husking corn without detaching the husk from the stalk. starves—his ng they do GRAFTING WAX. How It Can Be Made at Home and Give Good Resuits. Because people who have depegded on wax already prepared and sold on the market havs found it disappoint- ing and unsatisfactory for grafting trees during the spring, it is suggested that those who plan to do .grafting this spring make their own grafting wax at home. The common formula for making this is four pounds resim, two pounds beeswax, one pound tal- low. The resin should be pulverized, the beeswax and tallow cut up and the three bofled together slowly until the entire mixture is dissolved. The mixture should then be poured into a pail of cold water. After the mass has hardened sufficiently to handle with the hands, when one has greased the hands, the water should be squeezed out of the wax: the wax then should be pulled like taffy or molasses candy until it becomes tough and turns to a light color. It should then be wrapped in ofled or greased paper and stored until needed. THE GLUE METHOD. Directions for Inoculating Soil Legumes. for Many farmers who are to inoculate the soil for the growing of some legume may be interested in the fol- lowing article which was taken from the last edition of the farm manage- ment demonstration monthly: “The county-agents in Illinois report that the glue method of inoculating legumes is proving very successful. It is calld the "glue method” because its essential feature consists in mak- Ing particles of inoculated soil adhere to the seed by means of a solution of furniture glue.
