BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Falling Off in Construction Work About the State During Past Week. The volume of real estate transac- tions continues at high water mark. During the week in the towns report- ed in The Commercial Record there were 520 sales by warranty deed, with mortgage loans amounting to $1,773,- 848. These figures compare with 378 sales and $961,320 in mortgages in the third week of September, 1915. Store House For Ulmer leaiher | B , Single Story Cement and Concrete Building Will be Erected— Work Completed on Mt. Pleasant Street Store—J. Oliver Armstrong to Build a Garage on Talman Street. There were but two petitions in bankruptey filed in the state during the weelk, with total Mabilities of ,595 and assets of $3878. Last year in the same week there were three petitions filed, with liabilities of 38,628 and assets of $1,808. Nine new incorporations were re- ported last week, With aggregate cap- jtalization of $390,000. This is better than the record for tha like week of ‘any previous year. A falling off in building operations is indlcated by the record of building permits granted during the week. In the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Stamford, New Britain and West Haven, 196 per- mits were taken out, for buildings the aggregate cost of which was $484,600. These figures compare with 187 per- mits in the same week of 1915, for buildings costing $1,346,61C, and 103 permits m 1914, costing $614,946. Plans for a number of important projects were reported last week, 2z them being a fireproof store- house in Stamford, store block in Mer- rch in New Haven, residences Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford \d Derby, store and apartment block ridgeport, office building in Water- factory in New Britain, school coal pocket in Plamville, in Hartford and apart- ment block in New Haven, with one, two and six-family houses in New Haven.

In order that one may obtain.a max- imum egg yield, keep his hens healthy d prodace strong, heulthy. germs in it’ is- quite necessary that hens be given 4s much Nberty or Access to free range as possible. Hens that have free range do ‘better than those confined. Not only do they lay more eges at a lower cost pe but the fertility and' hatchabi egs is greater. . Puarin the winter months, hens that are confined lay practicaily as. many egs as the hens that have their liberty. In an experiment conducted at one of our experiment stations it was found that as a rule Yens that had free range laid many more eggs in a vear than hens-that were confined to the coop. In:the same experiment it was found that the 40 hens that had | free range laid 886 eggs more during ithe year than the 40 hens that were confined to. their coopy During the spring and summer months the hens that had free range laid 535 more eggs than the corresponding hens which were con&ned. A few poultrymen have advocated the use of certain mixtures claiming that the green food is unnecessary. This statement had not been readily accepted by the majority of - poultry raisers. The value' of green food is due to the mineral elements and the nitrogenous compounds that it contains. Clover and alfaifa are exceptionally valuable as a green food. Of the many dif- ferent kinds of clover the white seems to be the best. _However, the hens will eat any kind readily whether it is red, crimson, or alsike. The chicks that are hatched from the eggs of hens that have always had free range are healthy and strong. Confinement tends to retard production, the hens easily become fat and chicks hatehed from the eggs of hens that have been confined do not hatch well, and as a rule, those tha: do hatch are often physically weak ggd 2 high death rate is to be expect- Green food combined, with plenty of exerciss is’ eonsidered “an important factor to successful poultry raising. The small village poultry keeper or others who of necessity have to keep their hens’confinéd in small yards will find that they. can get an increased eg production by giving their hens such green food as lawn cuttings, waste lettuce, cabhage, ete. It may be well to plant a few beets to give. the hens G}Ifln‘ -the winter' months. on poultry “plants that have ple of room for larger ones have, in the end; cost the poultryman more money than larger ones, These yards soon become bare and un- sa.nl'.ary and have to be cultivated d sown to oats or other grains, thus making it necessary for the hens to be shut in the coops until the cereals hu.ve grown large enough for them to eaten. A.yard baving 100 to 125 ua.re feet per bird will be found Luge enough to have permanent green food for the hens during the spring, sumer and fall months. In deciding the value of free range one should. constantly keep in mind AGRICULTURAL INTEREST S cut alfalfa when mixed in mash is consifdered nourishing and besides it helps make ‘the mash light and fuffy. Green food keeps the birds healthy, increases the eg production and fer- tility of the egs:’'It also keeps the chicks more vigorous and helps regu- late the digestion. The following are some of the legumes, cereals and root crops that may be used as green food: Alfalfa, sprouted oats, - elovers, growing grains, ry® wheat, oats, root crops, mangels, beets, cabbage, kale, lettuce, turnips and rape.—D.

An apple.should be allowed to be- come full size and well colored before it is picked, and if it is winter fruit should be cobled as soon as possible. Fruit which is to be stored for win- ter use canmot be placed in storage too quickly after it is harvested. Fruit which stands around in the barn or packing house for several - days or weeks before it goes into storage will come or® in bad condition. 'This point of “getting~the fruit into storage with- in two days after it is picked” cannot be too strongly emphasized. Even the small farmer who wishes to keep fruit late in the winter for his own use should try and keep it cool after it is harvested. Am apple,. even after it is picked, is growing and just as soon as it is fully ripe it will begin to_deteri- orate. Cool or cold tempbratures will check this development. Therefore, ¥ you wish to have Baldwin apples next March gon’t allow them to ripen in.a warm building this fall. The small grower who does not have a regular storage_house for his fruit and who wisHgs fo. handle it to the best advantage may do one of several things. He may place the barrels cr packages of fruit on his barn floor, or in any other building, opening the doors at night when it is cool and keeping them enclosed in the daytime. | Such buildings and cellars may be kept cool if proper .attention is paid to_the ventllation. - Many people asi when their apples should be picked. The time varies somewhat with the séason. The only safe rule to follow is this: Pick f; fruit when it is ful grown and well colored. This applies particularly to winter varieties. The summer and fall varieties should be picked so that they will reach the market in good condition. For long shipments or storage pick while hard and firm. — S. P.

True, there has been a heavy crop at the first cutting. Much of this hay is, however, son to believe that nice, bright, tim- othy hay will command a handsome premium this winter. Here's a plan worth tryin; The constant rains saturated the soil have almost to a depth of sev- eral feet. There's plenty of moisture at hand to grow a heavy second crop of timoth The crop just removed, have, however, little nursing if it 1s to give really satisfactory results. Top-dresses tke readows at once with 400 to 300 pounds an acre of well- balanced, active fertilizer. Then, watch those old crowns_throw out strong, vigorous shoots. Rowen hay contains a larger proportion of foliage than first crop timothy and is a more palatable and nutritious feed. The one-crop-a-year plan of farm- ing was all right in the days of cheap land. But when nd values are bounding skyward— percent, ad- vance in four years—farmers must make every acre produce to the limit. That's the only way to pay interest on the increased investment and still have a nice labor income as a reward for the use of brains and brawn. This is a good time to climb out of the one-crop-a-year class and put your farm among the top-notch proGuc- ers. And, why not begin by forcing that second-growth timothy? It looks like a paying proposition. Try i New England Farms. GROWING GRAPES IN NEW ENG- LAND. Grapes will grow in a variety of soils but sandy hillsides make the kind of vineyard preferred by Gcod- win Brothers of Kennebeck County, Maine. Locations favorable to frosts are shunned. Foster Damon, another ape specialist, believes in cultiva- on, as to any crop, turning it in with the cultivator. After the blossoms fall, another fertilization is practiced unless the vegetation is too luxuriant. The quality of the grapes, the appear- ance of the package and the reputa- tion of the grower are important in marketing saccording to r. Damon. MAKING A RECORD HAY CROP. ‘What is claimed to be the chamnpion hay crop of New England has been harvested frcm the farm of E. M. Carroll & Son, near Warner, New Hampshire. The yield was approxi- mately three tons per acre from forty acres. Andrew J. Felker, State Com- missioner of Agrxc‘ullure stated that in all his travels through New Eng- land bhe had rever seen a better Beld of grass. Mr. Carroll is a lumber dealer whose hobby is agriculture. A few years ago he purchased the farm cn which the fleld produced less than a half- ton per acre of grass. He proceeded to take out the rocks, clean away the old trees and prepare the ground well. ‘Next he top-dressed the land with manure and commercial fertilizer and seeded heavily. Not being able to secure a supply of manure the Car- rolls have been relying entirely upon fertilizers to top-dress their grass land, during the past few years. The farm is bringing in 25 per cent on the investment and is increasing each year in productivity.

EGG LAYERS HAVE TOUCHED LAST YEAR'S RECORD From Now On the Production Will Be a Clean Gain. At the close of the forty-seventh week of the laying contest at Storrs the total production for all pens was 152,894 eggs or 1086 more than for the full fifty-two weeks last year; thus all the eggs produced from now on will be a clear gain over last yvear's total, 7106 being necessary to bring the average yield up to 160. The to- tal production for the week was 2708 whick was 251 eggs less than for the preceeding week. Rock Rose Farm’s pen of Barred Rocks from XKatonah, N. Y, won_first place for the week with a production of 51 eggs. J. E. Watson’s White Wyandottes from Marbledale, Conn., were second with 49 eggs, foliowed by Dr. N. W. San- born’s Buff Wyandottes from Holden, Mass., with a scoré of 48 eggs. A. B. Hall's White Leghorns from Walling- ford, Conn., tied with the Agricultural College pen of “Oregons” from Cor- vallis, Ore., with a production of 47 eggs for the week. It is interesting to note that it is the heavy breeds that are keepng up the production during the home stretch. Out of the thirty-eight pens of Leghorns there were eleven which laid 31 eggs or better during the weei while from the fifty-five pens of Rocks, Reds, and Wyandottes, twenty- three pens laid more than 30 eggs for the week. Fifteen hens out of the entire con- test made perfect scores for the week and only three of these were Leg- horns. A point of unusual intrest in the egg market last week was a drop of one cent in average guotation of fancy white egs on the New York market. The marketmen generally ascribe this indirectly to the threatened railroad strike. The fact that many railroads placed embargoes on western eggs held up_shipments for a few days, and when these embargoes were removed the consequent rush of eggs to the New York marker resulted in a sup- ply greater than the demand, causing a slight falling off in price. The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows: Pen. Plymouth Rocks. 9 Rock Rose Farm (Earred) Katonah, N. Y. 1903 13 Albert T Lenzen (White) North Attleboro.

Timothy ordinarily is grown in mix- tures, usually with clover or with red- top and clovers. In the New England states and parts of New York redtop commonly is added to the mixture. Alsike clover is especially to be recommended on poorly drained soils that have a tendency to heave, as un- der such conditions it generally will come through the winter better than red clover. On sach soils redtop can be aded to zocd advantage. The first crop of hay is composed chiefly of clover. After the first year most of the clover disapears and the following hay crops are made up almost entirely of timothy or of timothy aud redtop. In some of the irrigated valleys of the northwest alfalfa is substituted for clover in mixture with timothy. Timothy generally is sown with wheat, rye, oats, or, barley, which commonly are referred to as nurse crops. The first hay crop is produced as a rule, the year after the grain crop is harvested. When seeded with spring grains the timothy seed, to- zether with the clover. or grass to be grown in. mixture with it, is sown at the same time as the grain. When winter grain is used as a nurse crop either a portion or all of the timothy seed may be sown with the grain or in the spring with the clover. When sown in early spring the timothy may be broadeasted with one of the various types of hand seeders and left on the surface of the soil to be covered by alternate freezing and thawing; or secding may be delayed until the sur- face of the soil has become somewhat dry, when the seed should he covered with a spike-tooth harrow. KEEP COWS WELL FED. Milk Flow Won't Come Back Down by Grass'Shortage. if Cut During hot weather the milk flow of the average herd drops down, The heat and the conditions of the pas- tures common at that time of the year are the main causes of this. The flies generaly blamed are of less import- ance than other conditions. The real cause is the failure of the animals to and flies may all contribute to this result. It will be observed that dur- ing the -hot weather the cows will graze but little.and come to the barn at night evidently hungry. To pro- duce three gallons of milk a day a. cow has to gather at least 100 or 125 pounds of grass. If the pastures are short and the weather hot, generally this much grass will not be gathered. | and scon the milk flow goes down. _The influence of these summer c ditions cannot be removed but may improved. The main thing is to see that lha cows do not lack food. They should be in the pasture at night and during the earliest, coolest part of the day. If the pasture is short, feed sil- a;el_c{‘r green Crops. I' _Is well known eat sufficient feed. Poor pastures heat |~ ta dairy bnue bors. by better mdsn: later.

B. Hutchinson of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, rye may be sccded any time during September or October and is not attacked by the Hessian fly, so it will not endanger fall wheat. It may be sown just as eariy as the seed bed can be put into proper condition on stubble land or after corn has bee.n cut for silage or fodder. A bushel and a half is enough for early sowing, but two bushels should be used later, or a mixture of 30 or 40 pounds of rye and 15 or 20 pounds of vetch will give good results If sown late in Augvust or early in September. Small fields of such cover crops fur- nish a great deal of pasture at little cxpense and leave the soil in better condition than if they had not been grown. The vetch is a legume which adds nitrogen and the fine roots of rye protect the soil against washing, which is more serious between grow- ing seasons than most people realize. Next sprinzg the rye may be turnea under as a grain manuring crop be- fore corn planting time. MOST Keep them IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. Congressman Richard P.

William A. Page, the Chicago critic and publicity writer, says in the Sep- tember Woman’s Home Companion in an article about stage-stricic women: “And what becomes of them. Caught in the eddies of frivolity, many of them temporarily abandon their stage ambitions in the kaleidoscopic life of Broadway. Others live in hall bed- rooms, boil eggs over a gas jet, ard waste their.young lives in the fruitless pursuit of a rainbow which they never find, only sooner or later to return home sadly, and settle down to forget their stage ambitions. Others study, economize, sincerely strive for engage- ments, possibly get small roles with some, 6hsdure company, ‘and start in on a career which will' be lilled with many, many disappointments.

Mr. Gibson has done more than any other individual towards teaching railroads and other great corporations the importance of courtesy. Mr. Gib- son's resolution is: “Resolved: That we all cease trving to get something for nothing—graft- ing, in other words; that we all do just a little more than we asree to do. rather than just a little less. That honesty is a question of efficiency here on earth, with its rewards in profits now, here on earth. That fear is the root of all evil; for if our neighbor cheats us in his store‘it is to fortify himself against some element cut of his store. That the basis of all life is business life; ‘that business is the sys- tem by which we supply our wants and needs; that we are true to polit- ical life, true to social life, as we are true to business life. That we think of others as we would bave them think of us; that we do as we think, the thought precedes the act; that co-op- eration is the real brotherhood of man; that the prosperity of one man does not require the poverty of another man; that both the idle man and the dishonest man, whether they be pos- sessed of little or much, ‘are fools in themcelves and abominations to their commiumnitie; _GOT HIM SO HE CAN: T' CEOW not crow unlel! he lifted his head to- “gaze . deflance upon the world.” So he -devised the harness shown in the picture.
