NEW LONDON. Work Started on Foundation For Mo- hican Hotel Addition—Other Notes. Work on the excavations for the foundation for the new addition to the Mohican- hotel which is to face on Meridian street and fs at the rear of the west end of the present hotel buflding hes_commenced. At the rear end of the lot where the excavation is_deepest, the precaution has been taken to shore up the corner of the Y. M. C. A. building on the adjoining Iot as the excavation runs under thai building at this point. A small donkey engine is used to help draw the wagons out of the lot with their loads of dirt and rocks by hitching a steel cable from the drum of lhe engire to the tongue of the wagon when the horses are ready to start up with their load. Clearing Up Cady Ruins. Active . work by the Redden Con- struction Co. in clearing away the de- bris of the collapsed Cady building on State strect will permit an examina- tion of the foundations with a view to determining what caused the build- ing to fall. Since the collapse of the building the question has been whether it was occasioned by the undermining of the foundations in ‘the course of the excavations for the Marsh building on the adjoining lot or by the weakness of the sidewalls. This can be deter- mined soon, it is belleved, and the reeponsibility can be placed. Will Redecorate Church. Subscriptions to the repalr and al- teration fund for the Federal Street Methodist church have come in S0 well that the building committee has decided to go ahead tiis summer at least with the redecorating of the in- terior of the church, In the work to be done there provision will be made for the future eniargements and additions that are in view eo_that when that is talken up there will be no marring of the decorative work.

Egg Production Drops For First Time in Many Weeks, For the first time in eighteen weeks the hens in the laying contest at Storrs produced less than 4,000 cggs, or a total of 3,362 for the thirty-seventh week. For thc first time in twent: weeks their production was less than for the corresponding period last vear. The hens in the current contenst, how. ever, have such a big total lead that it s not believed they can any pos- sibility lose any appreciable part of it during the remaining weeks of the competition. P. G. Plait's pen of White Leghorns from Wallingford, Pa., were first for the week with 57 eggs. Francis F. Jincoln's pen of the same breed from Mt. Carmel, Coun., were second with a production of 52 eggs; Mendelay Poul- try Yards' Barred Rocks from Spring- fleld, Ohio, and the Agricultural Col- lege's pen of “Oregons from Corvalliis Ore., tied for third with 54 eggs each. Rock Rose Farm's pen of Jarred Rocks from Katonah, N. Y., and three perns of Leghorns entered by F. M. Peasley, Cheshire, Conn.,, W. E. Atkin- son, Wallingford, Conn., and Oakerest Farm, Southampton, Pa., all tied for fourth place with 52 eggs each. The mite season is now at its height. If one's hers e not now laying as many summer cggs as they ought and if the ung stock are not owing as well as they should, it would be a good scheme to carefully inspect their sleep- ing quarters for red mites. The ex- pericnced poultryman can easily de- tect this pest; if present in large num- ers he will be re of the fact by peculiar pungent odor. The best plan of procedure at this season of the vear Side is to carefully inspect the under of the roosts and also their sup- ports and when any mites at all are| found get after them with carboiic and kerosene, or better still with car- Dbolineum. 9 Rock Rose Farm (Barred), Katonab, N. ¥...owoeonrns 13 Albert T.

August Should Be a Good Month If Birds Are Fed and Protected Prop- erly. Some poultry men depend on hatch- ing eggs, chicks and breeding stock for the greater part of the return from their poultry, but by far the most im- portant Income from the average flock s from the market egg business. Of course winter eggs bring the highest prices, but there is unother season quite as important when the year's profit is considered. Following the season of natural production in the spring, the price gradually increases as the days of June and Jul ybecome hot and dry and the nights become warm. August is not usually considered one of the most profitable months with poultry. says Roy E. Jones, in the Con- necticut College bulletin, but it should be if the birds are well fed and prop- erly protected against heat. The pro- auction in Ausust must be somewhat reduced as compared with early spring, but the price has increased nearly 50 per cent. and the cost of production The statistics of building and en- gineering operations in New England as ocompiled by The F.
