IL ad- vanceS much more rapidly than a cold and is more virulcnt in its effect It IS common for pouitrymen to ob- serve that roup develops from colds. This may or may not be true.
 Because of the fact that birds that have been cured of roup may still harb0r the germs in large quantities, and be continued source of infection to ether birds in the flock. it does not pay to attempt to cure them. Fur thermOre, birds that have had roup or even serious colds will be so weakened because of it if used for breeding purposes the chickens from their eggs will be easily infected with colds. For this reason all poultry men should mark individuals that have been infected with any kind of colds and be so absolutely sure that none of them are ever included in the i breeding flock

POULTRY DISEASES.
Much Trouble Due to Negligence of
 Owners In Case of Birds.

There are no poultry diseases of gr eater economic importance than colds and rOup. ROup carries off thousands of birds each year largely because of negligence on the part of poultrymen in the handling Of the disease in its early stages. Although it is not a disease that affects the fowls in cold months only. unfavOr- able conditions which are apt to exist at this season of the year make dis eases more prevalent than during early winter.
 Some of the conditions favorable to colds and roup are drafty houses, dampness brought about by poor ventilation of poor drainage, crowd ed conditions. tender stock. sudden changes of temperature without pro per protection, and low vitality sn stock. The latter cause is most inn portant of all, as nearly every pOul- tIyman keeps within his flock each fall a number of bullets that are in feriOr in size and low in vitality. These are the birds which invariably contract colds and roup because their condition is such that they easily be- come carriers of the disease germs.
 Colds are not as dangerous as roup, but they frequently develop into something more serious and should be checked as soon as they are discov- cred. Every poultryman should make ti DI CtClICt INO OI three times q week of going over his birds after they have gone to rOOst, listening for sneezing and coughing in order to isolate the birds who show the slightest symptoms of colds. When ever birds are fed the poultryman should glance over his flock carefully to observe individuals that show signs of colds.
 If these colds are not too severe
 the birds may be isolated in warm, airy coops and fed stimulating foods,
 and their recovery will soon follow
 Treat these individuals with a per
 cent solution of crude carbolic acid
 by spraying nostrils and throat or
 swabbing them out with a feather dipped in the solution. Where fowls
 exhibit signs of colds the cause should
 be ascertained and remedied at once Drinking fountains should be thor oughly disinfected, also roosts an6 nests so that germs which may be
 prevalent may be destroyed at once Potassium permanganate should be used in the drinking water, enough tC give it a distinctive wine color. Al even teaspoonful of the solution witt | quart of water will provide enough | for 10 gallons of water.

BUILDING AND BUSINESS.
Activity In Real Estate Increased |
 About the State-Not Many New
 Projects.

The record of real estate sales last week, as shown by the warranty deeds filed in the various Connecti- cut towns reported by The Commer- cial Record is somewhat larger than in the like week of last year, which is also the case in the amount of mort gage loans. The figures for the cur rent week show 245 sales, with mort gage loans of $775,271, comparing with 192 sales and mortgage loans of $615,42 year ago.
 New companies formed in this state for the week numbered 13, with total capital stock of S1,222, ,525, while dur ing the same week of last year there were eight new interpretations, hav- ing aggregate capital stock of $247 900.
 Petitions in bankruptcy for the week numbered 3, with assets of $2,211 and liabilities of $14,641, a consideFa ply better showing than that of a year ago when there were F petitions, with total assets of S35,674 and lia- bilities of $63,S67.
 The volume of building. as is us ual during the holiday period, is lower than for some weeks past and also lower than a year ago at this time. Last week 46 permits were issued in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport. Hartford, Waterbury and Stamford, comparing with 52 last year and 51 in 1913. The cost of buildings last week totaled $259, ,915, comparing with $234,- 625 last year and $147,765 in 1913.
 The largest contracts awarded last week were for factory work in New Haven and Bridgeport, where large additions are to be made to the am intuition plants in those cities. Other contracts included addition to state armory in Stamford, sChoolhouse in New Haven, residence work in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford, and theatre in WeStport. A number of smaller houses for one and two fami- lies are reported throughout the state.
 Not many new projects were re- ported last week due prObafr, to the holiday season. Plans are being pre- pared for two apartment buildings in Bridgeport, also a large fireproof factory; in Hartford bids will be call houses and contractors are now sub apartment block; two-famiIy houses the state and there is much other work contemplated which will be ready for figures later, making the outlook for the early part of the com ing year better than for several years.
 Norwich had 16 sales of real estate last week compared with seven for the same week last year. The mortgage loans were $2,700 and $8,00O for the respective weeks.
 In New London there were eleven sales of realty last week to five a year ago. the loans for the two weeks being $56,225 and s9,190 for the re- spective weeks.
