5 BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Record Throughout State Shows Lit- tle Change From Year Ago. Real estate transactions for the past week again run into large figures, the record in the four larger cities of the state showing astonishing increases over last year. Total sales in the towns reposted in ‘The Commercial Record for the eek numbered 539, with mortgage ans of $1,311,805, comparing with 377 in the like week of 1915, with mortgage loans of $775,- 802. The 1§ new incorporations reported last week have aggregate authorized capitalization of $504,50Q, against 1% —_— BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTE Alterations On Main Stree_t Building New Fronts Are Being Erected on Speir Block and Dr. E.

Work and plans are underway for reported in the same week a year ago, | the alternation on the faces of two with $346,000 capital. The record of bankruptcy petitions filed in this state during the past week makes & more healthy sbowing than for three yeans past. Average assets of the two petitions amounted to $2,494 and average liabilities $4,055, against average assets of $5,499 and liabilities of $7,975, for six petitions for the last week of September, 1915, The record of building permits 18 very similar to that of a year ago. Permits to the number of 154 were granted during the week, in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, Stamford, New Britain and West Haven for buildings costing $445,450, these figures comparinz with 166 permits taken out in the same ci- ties ‘last year for buildings costing $438,655. Among the projects for which con- tracts have been awarded during the week are one, two, three and 12- family_houses in_New Haven, Bridge- port, Hartford, ‘Waterbury, Stamford and New Britain; power plant in New Haven, store and apartment block in New Britain, library in Naugatuck, residence in Bridgeport and Meriden, factory in Stamford, business block in Stamford and garage in Bridgeport. Plans are reported this week for business blocks in New Haven and Meriden, school in Bridgeport, Y. W. C. A bullding in_Bridgeport, residence in New Haven, Bridgeport and Stam- ford, garage in Hartford, store build- ing in New Haven, and ome, two, three, six and nine-family houses in New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury and Manchester. Norwich had six sales of real estate last weel to five for the same week last vear. The loans for the week amounted to $21,700 while a year ago the total was $10,400. In New London the realty changes last week amounted to eight while there were two a year ago. The loans for the two weeks were 324,200 and $4,400 respectively.

Time to Harvest Them—Hints as to Best Methods to Employ in Secur- ing the Crop. This is the time of year when all who have one or more apple trees in their yard or on the farm are won- dering just when the apples should be harvested. There js always a que: tion as to just when the apples should be picked so that they will have the largest size and the highest color and quality and yet not run danger of be- ing blown from the trees by se winds. The time of picking according to the soil, its moi tent, the variety of apple, the stock, the exposure and the purpose for which the fruit is sold. Experience is necessary to determine this point, but there is less danger of picking too A fair test of apple gently if parts read apple is ripe apples are to re con- early than too late. ripeness is to lift the and twist it slightly. It fly from the spur, the enough to pick. If the be placed in ordinary storage they should be picked early than if they are to be put into cold storage. In picking apples handle them as carefully as eggs. Bmploy men who can pick with two hands. Great care should be exercised not to detach the ms, because when a stem is pulled out it breaks the skin; this allows the bacteria to enter the apple, result- ing in rot and disease in an otherwise sound apple. Many markets refuse apples with per cent of the stems missing. Bqual care should be ex- ercised in picking apples to leave all fruit spurs unbroken upon the limbs Bach broken spur means that several apples are deducted from the next three or four-years' crops. This is P! an absolutely unnecessary loss, if due care is exercised. Men should never be allowed to climb into the trees while picking, especially young trees, Dbecause broken branches and bruised limbs are bound to result from such a procedure. Wounds and bruises upon the limbs constitute ideal conditions under which canker diseases start and flourish. Light, strong stepladders sbould be used for low trees; for tall- er trees, light pointed laders, which will fit into crotches in the limbs, are better than straight or round laders. Extension laders are necessayy for very tall trees. There are many kinds of picking bags, buckets, and bagkets upon the Most growers prefer _the half-bushel basket which poured out, without any danger of bruising the fruit. The baskets should firs: be oiled, thus making them more durabic; they should then be padded with canvas or burlap. Picking re- ceptacles that open from the bottom are not entirely satisfactory at pres- enf, and picking bags tend -to bruise the apples more or less. Heavy wire bent in the form of the letter S, with the upper part large enough to put over limbs and the lower part to fit the handle of the basket, are very useful. This will enable the picler to use both hands. It is quite es- sential that practically all the pick- ing be done by hand, as up to the present time, the patent pickers have not been so perfected as not to bruise the fruit, or else they are deficient In other ways. Patent pickers may be used for stray scattered apples. CLEAN MILK. The Use of the Small Mouthed Pail Important In Producing It. That milk is no place for dirt is a foregone conclusion. Tt looks badly in the milk, it makes the milk taste bad- ly, it introduces bacteria of an unde- sirable nature into the milk and hence helps to make for milk of very poor quality that you and I do not desire to_drink. Unless a cow's udder, flanks anc abdomen are cleaned to such a desree as is impractical under ordinary con- ditions, there is always present a cer- tain amount of dirt and currie, scme of which fall into the milk pail during the milking process. Obviously less dirt will fall into milk drawn into a small mouthed paid than into a pail entirely incovered. This certainly is reason enough to warrant the use of the small mouthed pail. To use a small mouthed milking pail is to take advantage of ome of the most potent factors which help in pro- ducing a high grade milk. The official government score card which is used in rating dairies on.the basis of equip- ment and methods, allows 5 points out of 40 which are allotted to equipment, if the small mouthed pail s used and 0 points if the ordinary wide mouthed pail is used. At the Storrs Connecti- cut Experiment Station and at _the Geneva, New York Experiment Sta- tion, it was found that the use of the small mouthed pail resulted in a 50 to 70 per cent reduction in the num- bers of bacteria present in the millk, the more dirty the cows and stable the greater the per cent reduction.—H. F. Judkins, Dairy Department, Connecti- cut Agricultural. College. x SEED AND SHOW CORN. Time to Think About Securing It and How, To Do It. - The time is ripe, if not the corn, for thinking of seed for. next y A simple and effective method through the field before it i pick about tw is cut e as many seed. the best ears and only & from stalks where the stand is normal. This insures somewhat better seed than when taken from the crib. Also it is possible to store this seced in a dry place where it will neither mold nor freeze. Sometime during the winter lay the corn out and go over it. dis- carding the poorer ears. That is the time also for germination t ears Take only o as you will need for good For exhibition purposes corn may be sclected from the large lot first saved. Pick out .the best fifty ears, lay them on a bench or floor and be- gin by discarding tie poores The important points of the score card are as_follow Uniformity.—All ears in a should be uniform as to size, kernel and color. Maturity.-—Ea : the sample shape, hould be hard and free from blisters, s Straightness of Rows.—Rows should be straight and even from bu‘t to tip with no space between the ro Butts and Tips—These should be smooth and regular, and the shank of stem small. Unfortunately, none of these points, except maturily, have much to do with the yielding capacity of the co: But since these are the accepted show points we must, for the present, con- form to them. When sending corn to a show wrap each ear in paper and pack the box sc that they will not shake about. Be sure that your name and entry num- ber are both imside and outside the box.—W. L. Slate, Jr., Agroromy De- partment, Connecticut Agricultural College. FEED PULLETS FOR EGGS. Corn and Wheat Expensive Now, but Barley and Oats are Cheaper. A1l pullets of the Leghorn breed that are five months old or over should be in the laying houses at this seasor: and be in condition to produce eggs. The Rhode Island red,s Wyan- dottes or Plymouth Rocks which were hatched in March or early April should be receiving the same treat- ment as laying hens in order that they may be brought to laying as soon as possible. After birds have been placed In confinement their rations should be changed from the wide ration which has been fed on the range to one con- taining more animal protein which will force production. This change, however, should not be too rapid, be- cause it is not at all difficult to bring et g—fbirds back six weeks or 0 mon! in their production. “One of the most important feeds for pullets that have been taken from the range is a succulent green good. Many poultry keepers are careless in this regard, and because of lack of green food or lack cf time to procure it they fail to provide their pullets with any considerable amount. If the. pullets have been accustomed to a large amount of grcen food on the range they will develop very slowly and lay yery few egs unless it is continuea in large quantities. Any form that is palatable will give good results. The poultry keepers’ problem this year will be more serious than ever because of the unusual high prices of both corn and wheat. When corn is high it is wise to feed as much mash as the hens will stand, because the by-products of both corn and wheat do not increase in cost as rapidly as the whole grains. A dry mash con- taining considerable animal protein in the form of meat scraps or other sim- ilar feeds can be fed in large quanti- ties without danger of digestive trou= ble. It will be a good plan this fall to feed a mash containing not more than 15 to 5 per cent meat scraps and make the hens eat as much of it as they eat of whole grains. At present prices even corn is an expenzive fecd. Barley and oats seem to be the cheapest for the maount of protein they contain, and a ration consisting of four parts corn, one part oats, one part barley and one-half part of wheat should give good results and cost as liftle as any grain ra- tion that can he obtained at the pres- ent time. Plenty of fresh water should be supplied at this season, and it is especially important that shells and grit be available. A great deal of this material is necessary, especially their zrowth as well as to store up material for the construction of egg- hells, It is not wise to feed a wet mash unless absolutely necessary. If, after a few wecks the pullets refuse to eat enough mash and apear to stand still_in_their development, it is safe to feed shortly after noon a light ration of masb, slightly moistened. It is more palatable in this form and the hens will eat just as much dry mash in addition. “Many poultrymen follow the practice of cooking oats i few hours until they are thoroughly softened and then mixing them with a dry mash, making a very excellent addition to the regular laying mash. WYNDOTTES GOING STRONG ON HOME STRETCH They Had the Two Best Storrs Last Week. Pens at The Wyandottes are running strong in the home stretch of the laying com- petition at_Storrs; they got the two best pens in the forty-eighth week ending Oct. 1, and four pens out of the first five. J. E. Watson’s White Wyn- Conn., and anborn’s Buffs from Hold- tied for first place with 50 dottes from Marbledale, Dr., were in second place for the week with a score off 46 egg: pens, both White Wyandottes, entered by Obed G. Knight of Bridgefon, R. L and Tom Barron of Catforth, England tied for third place with 45 egss each. All the pens taken together laid a to- tal of 2511 egsc as compared with 2509 for the corresponding week last year. __There was a total of nineteen pens including White and Barred Rocks, White and Buff Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Whitc Leghorns, and Oregons that made a 50 per cent yield or better for the week. There were on the other hand fifteen pens that made less than a 20 per cent yield which means less than an ezg and a nalf apiece for these 150 birds. In the two preceding competitions involving a total of 182 pens of ten birds each there were seven pens that 2,000 egs or better. The man- gement now predicts that there will be at least seven 2,000 egg pens in the present competition. Not only this but these high producing pens will represent more varieties than ever be- fore. Two years ago only two brecas, namel; Wyandottes and Leghorns were able to touc hthis high water mark. Last year three breeds got into the 2000 egg class, the two already men- tioned and Rhode Island Reds. It now seems safe to say that at least two other breeds, namely; PBarred Rocks and Oregons wiil be added to the list when the contest closes the last of October.

Hints for Poultrymen as to Aids for Egg Production. __All poultry keepers recognize that in order to gct good egg production at any season of the year it is nec- essary to supply a large percentage of the hens' rations in the form of an casily digested poultry mash, which may be fed either dry or wet. There are a great many different combina- tions of grains which go to make up poultry mashes and hardly two poul- try men feed the same ration, but there are certain fundamental prin- cipals pertaining to the successful combination of grains that are true in any poultry mash such as a proper amount of digestible protein and its food content, the amount of ash and mineral matter which it contains and the amount of crude fiber. It is also important that the poultry mash along with the grain ration which is fed daily should make a nutritive ra- tion of about one of protein to 4.5 of carbohydrates. Because of the present high prices of grains it is especially dsirable that the hens eat a very large percentage of mash because the by-products of grains are much chegper than the whole feed. For this reason the dry mash must be so palatable that the hens will relish it and eat large quan- tities every day. The basic ingredients of all poultry it ks zzs each. The Agricultural College pen of Barred Rocks from Corvallis, Ore.,: The two leading | ripus digestive troubles that | mashes are and as protein is the wheat d s, most AeRirafle ‘Gontont of thet mash, ‘wheat middlings and ‘wheat "bran are [ whose members used in very large quantities. Wheat middlings are most desirable because they contain the most protein and in the most digestible form, but wheat bran is rich in mineral matter and more palatable, so that also may be made ap art of the ration. Either corn meal cr hominy may be used to the amount of two-thirds of all the wheat by-product. When prices are equal, hominy is the cheapest and is the best for mof corn by-product for the hens, because it is richest in protein, high- est in quality and contains less wa- ter. Oats are recognized as a good egg- producing grain, and 10 or 15 per cent of ground oats in the dry mash makes a very desirable adition if the oats ground are of high quality. There is sométimes a tendency on the part of the feed man to grind up the light oats and sell the heavy oats whole. It is therefore wise for the pouitry keeper to buy the whole oats and have them ground. Ingorder to provide an increased amount of vegetable protein there are several forms of grains which are used extensively by dairymen that can aleo be used with good resuMts in the poultry mash. Among these are gluten feed and gluten meal, brewer's grains, cottonseed meal and linseed meal. Linseed and gluten are the most desirable grains for the poultry mash because they are the most palatable and contain food clements that are very helpful in egg production. Many poultry keepers feed 10 or 15 per cent of gluten with good results. Five per cent of linseed oil meal may be added regularly or at intervals during the season because of its medicinal value and its high protein' content. Even the highest pretein grains would not furnish a sufficient amount of that element to make the mash fully ef-, ficient. It is therefore necessary to feed some form of animal protein to provide aboutr 15 or 20 per cent by weight of the total fmash. This may be in the formi of meat scraps, fish seraps, dried milk by-products or ani- male meals. The crude fibre and in- digestible material ‘which must be fed in all kinds of rations go a cer- tain extent should be kept at a min- imum. BALDWIN SPOT PREVALENT. Hardly an Orchard Free From It This Year. ‘The Baldwin crop in many sections is undoubtedly the poorest crop pro- duced for a long period of time. This was not the case up until the middle of ‘August, when all indications point- ed to a very hight quality <rop. About that time and from then on. Baldwin spot has shown up in apples and amounts to a regular epidemic. Hard- iy an orchard can be found where the Baldwins are free from the trouble. The same or a similar spot is also found on Northern Spies, Kings, and other winter varieties. ls the Test of Time & Years ago this Norwich resident told of good results from using Doan's Kid- ney Pifls. Now Daniel J. Brown, pro- priefor repair shop, of 6 Summer St. confirms the former statement—says there has been no return of the trouble. Can Noriwch people ask for more con- vincing testimony? z Mr. Brown says: “The results that followed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills, Sevin & Son’s Drug Store, were so satisfactory Tn my case, in view of my experience, I can heartily recommend them as an excellent medicine for ton- ing up the kidneys and relieving ail- ments, due to their disordered condi- tion.” The above statement v glven August 28, 1908, and on May 18, 1916, Mr. Brown said: “I have had no oc- casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since T recommended them in 1908.

Much enthusiasm is being shown for the fleld day to be held this Saturday. Those “who took part in the spring event at Norwich Town, know what fun is in store, and surely every scout ought to be out on Saturday, because this affair will be different from any- thing that Norwich Boy Scouts have enjoyed.

Scout- master Davis reports that some of his scouts have passed all but three of their first class tests. They began their work in of this year. Veteran Scout. In last week’s issue, there was print- ed the rules by which a boy attains the rank of associate scout. = Below are the conditions applying to the rank of veteran scout: After five years of service in the movement, a scout may be entitled to the rank ‘of veteran scout upon the fol- lowing conditions which appear in the new Handbook: 1. He shall agree to live up to the scout obligations for life. 2 Keep the local scout authorities of the community in which he lives informed as to his availability for ser- vice to the community in case of any emergency. 3. He agrees to take an actlve part in the promotion of the cause of scout- ing as the circumstances and condi- tions in his case permit, no matter where he may be, and, if possible, by service as a scout instructor, assist- ant scout master, member of a troop committee or local council, or as a contributor to the boy scout move- ment. A veteran scout in renewing his scout oath to do his duty to God and his country, and to keep himself phys- ically strong, mentally awake, mor- ally straight, and prepared for any emergency, should bear in mind the advantages that camp life affords. In maintaining his personal efficiency, he should avail himself not only of op- portunities for attending _ outdoor camps, but he should, vy following a definitely planned course of physical training, keep himself fit and alert and thus be conStantly prepared for serv- ice in any emergency. A special badge and a certificate will be awarded to veteran scouts upon request. Are You a Scout “Inside?” Being real scouts, don't forget that vou have a duty to the whole scout brotherhood. It is to so live that you will be a credit to it—that you will never do anything that will make anyone say that “the scout movement is a pretty bum thing if this fellow is a sumple of the scouts.” At a scout campfire the other night the chief scout executive told the scouts that each one of them was a “walking advertisement” of the scout movement—that “the people who know you wili form their opinion of the scout brotherhood by the kind of a boy you are.” Being a scout is something more than wearing a scout uniform and badge. Any fellow with any brains at all can pass the tendertoot tests and get his badge; whether a fellow is a scout or not depends on whnat he has in his heart—wHether he keeps his scout oath, lives up to the scout law, and does his “good turn” every da By the way, do you know the scout law already? Also—are you doing your good turn daily You can begin that now, to- day. Hartford—The superior court, civil si which has been on vacation since lat® in June, will start’ activities for the ne wcowrt vear on Friday. Judge Milton A. Shumway, who is to pre- side over the October session, which will cover October, November and De- cember, will be here for a short cal- endar session and he will assign cases for trial.
