GOOD START MADE
ON SECOND HALF.
Hens at Storrs Breaking Records,
Whether They Realize 1t or Not.

The hens in the laying contest at
Storrs began the second half year by
laying 80 eggs more than in the 26th
week, or a total for all pens of 4,244,
more eggs than have yielded in any
one week since the. contest opened in
November. One pen of Rhode Island
Reds yielded eggs with only seven
birds laying. A pen of Salmon Faver-
olles produced Al eggs with only seven
laying, four of these hens all in the
same pen laying seven eggs each dur
ing the week. A pen of Barred Rocks
with only nine birds working turned
out So eggs. and pen of Leghorns
with one bird in the pen shut into
broOdy cage yielded 81 eggs for the
week.
In the 18th week the Wyandottes
made a clean sweep of first, second
and third places. No other breed has
been able to duplicate this perform
ance until now, when the White Leg
horns made. q clean sweep in the 9th
week. Tom Barron's pen from Eng
land and Happich & banks pen from
North Branch, n. Y, tied for first with
81 eggs each. The Storrs Stations
sour milk pen and Braeside Poultry
Farm, Stroudsburg, Pa, and Dicto-
graph Poultry Farm, West Nyack, n.
Y, all tied for second with 56 eggs
each. Three Connecticut pens, namely,
F. NJ. Peasley, Cheshire, Branford
Farms, Groton, and Albert S. Sonde-
regger, South Coventry, a1I tied for
| third with SIS eggs each. All the win
ners for the week got by with only a
very small margin; four other pens
laid 81 eggs each, three pens laid 50
eggs each, three pens laid 50 eggs each
and four pens laid 81 eggs each.
The monthly awards for April have
been announced as follows: Blue rib
bon or first prize was won by Barron s

POULTRY RAISING.
System of Rearing and Feeding
Chicks.

Rearing chicks has its serious
problems but the first, six weeks of
their lives are the most dangerous
says D. E. Warner of the Connecticut
several essential which if followed will
help in keeping the mortality low:
LIST. Select strong, vigorous, we'll
matured breeding stock that is free
from disease and has been properly
housed and fed. This gives the chicks
been properly incubated.
End. Make sure that the mother
hens are free from lice and mites
before the chicks are Matched.
3rd. If artificial brooding is used
be sure that the brooder has a cap
acity large enough to allow the
chicks a chance to get away from the
heat when they want to, and that it
is economical in its cost and in the
fuel it uses.
4th. Remove all dead chicks from
the broder and bury or burn.
9Th Mark all the weak or sick
chicks SO that they will never be
used as breeders.
9Th Do not feed chicks until they
are As to so hours old and then only
food for the first week. Use only
clean and wholesome food. Provide
a variety of feeds containing enough
protein and ash. Give SKINNED milk
or sour milk to drink from the first
day.
1t is an established fact that the
chick does not use the entire yolk
of the egg while developing in the
she'll The remaining part of the egg
is taken into the abdomen of the
chick just before it matches and this
material is sufficient to maintain
the life Of the chick for a number
of days.
Dr. E. P. Shaw, who has made an
extensive investigation of this sub
pect, says that THE digestive func-
tons of the stomach (of the chick
are developed by the second day af-
ter Matching, whereas the pancreatic
fernents are improperly developed be-
fore the seventh"
The finding of DIR. Shaw explains
the common practice of not feeding
chicks until two days old and then
giving them only limited amounts of
easily digested foods for the first
week.

blood and making much more vigorous
stock. And the great loss in the rais-
ing of turkeys is largely due to care
lessness in inbreeding. All parent
stock should be at least two years old
and very strong and vigorous in or
der to insure strong vitality in the
offspring. Although the turkey Is of
wild disposition and spends q great
deal of its time in roaming the fields 1t
requires more care as to selection of
breeding stock than any other Of our
domestic fowls.
Turkeys should be allowed to roam
at large all day long, but when night
comes they should always go to the
farm buildings to roost. This can cas-
lily be accomplished by giving them a
generous feeding of corn and wheat at
night, but allowing them to hunt for
their feed during the rest of the day.
Good conditioned tWo-yeaF-old hens
can be made to lay three or four
clutches of from Is to Is eggs each If
they are watched carefully and brok-
en- up as soon as they become broody.
Chicken hens are excellent for hatch
ing the young pou1ts, but two-year-
oldS should lay the eggs for Matching.
Notwithstanding their roaming dispo-
Enclosure with great success and t1r-
key eggs are Matched very success
fully by artificial means, 2S days be-
ing the length of time required for in
CuUdLlOu- 1OunS turkeys are very
susceptible to variations in tempera,-
ture, and it is also very important that
they be kept within an Enclosure I'M
til they are six weeks old and never
allowed to go out into wet grass.
They should be examined frequently
for lice which may be found on the
top Of their heads, under their threats
or under their wings. If they are
found to be infested a little lard or
sweet oil rubbed on the top of the
head or other parts where they are
found will kill the lice.
Young turkeys should be taught to
roost at an early age, and after they
have started to rost regularly there is
practically no danger of their dying
If either young or old turkeys ap-
pear droopy and stand still for some
time or walk about slowly give several
doses Of equal parts sulphur and lard,
thoroughly mixed and rolled into small
pellets and forced down the throat
gently.
A good feed for newly matched poults
is equal parts grit bread crumbs,
hard-boiled eggs and hnely-chopped
onion tops and always a great variety
of other green food available. A good
growing mash to be fed dry is two
parts of grass bran, two parts corn
meal, two parts meat scraps, one part
beet middHngs, one part ground oats,
one-ha1f part charcoal, one-half part
ground bone, one part grit, witt
plenty of green feed and grit available
at all times. Turkeys are the most
profitable of our domestic fowls, if thew
are fed carefully and selected for con-
stitutional vigor.

VALUE OF SPRAYING POTATOES.
Increase Crop Though Insects and
Blight are Not Apparent.

Many potato growers do not realize
the benefits gained by spraying pota-
toes with Bordeaux mixture. If many
insects are present, spraying is usually
practiced with paris green or arsenate
of lead. Should the appearance of
blight be present, some would spray
his potatoes for the increased yield
which one is likely to receive by a
thorough spraying.
The Vermont experiment station has
conducted experiments in the spray
ing of potatoes for several years and
the following is the result of the ben
ef1ts derived: In 1906 their fields were
sprayed twice and the increase in yield
between the sprayed and unsprayed
was 1879 bushels: in 1907 they sprayed
three times, difference was 1852 bush
els; in 1903 when they sprayed five
times, difference was 93.1 bushels. Thus
the benefits from thorough spraying
frequently can be seen and there are
many other experiments of the same
nature which have resulted with prec
tically the same results.
One should prepare at this season
of the year for spraying his potatoes,
beginning when the vines are eight
inches high and continuing spraying
every 10 to IA days throughout the
season. The making of the Bordeau
mixture at home and the getting of
the necessary apparatus or spraying
machinery should be attended to i'm
mediately.

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT
BUILDING AND BUSINESS.
What Has Developed In State During
the Past Week.

The volume of real estate transac-
tons for the past week is very close
to what it wRs a. year ago for the
corresponding week, there being 40l
sales in the Connecticut towns report
ed in The Com mercial Record against
400 for the first week in May, 1914.
Mortgage loans amounted to $1,191, 591
for the current week, compared with

new interpretations Were reported with
S63o, DOC capital
The three bahkrupts reported last
week have average assets of $1,925
and liabilities of ;S12, 29S. This is a
much better showing than has been
the case for several years past.
Permits to the number Of 107 were
issued in the cities of New Haven,
Bridgeport, Hartford. and Waterbury
during the week, for buildings costing
$2S5, $50. These figures compare with
102 permits for buildings costing $685.

Fenton Brothers and Company have
the contract for the moving of the
two Falls Company houses on Sachem
street, one at the corner of Yant1c
and Sachem streets and the other
about midway between Yantic and
Lafayette streets. Both houses are to
be moved back for distance of seven
feet so as to provide q wider roadway
at this point and to allow for the lay
ing of a cement sidewalk. The Falls
Company has decided a strip of its
land, 7 feet in width, the entire length
of their property between Yantic and
Lafayette streets, to the city, in this
way cooperating in the general i'm
provements now being carried out on
this street. The tenement on the
corner of Yantic and Sachem streets
is occupied by Daniel Falvey and fam
lily. The foundation under this house
has been torn out in large part and
temporary supports have been placed
under the ground floor. The building
is about ready to be moved back TO
it's new position as the additional cell
lar room has been arranged for. The
second house is occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs Michael Kearney and family. The
,eXcavating for the extra cellar space
is well under way and the temporary
supports have arrived at the building.
There are two more buildings on the
street. between the house occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. sKearney and the Lafay
cite street corner and both of these
are to be moved back. Both houses
formerly belonged to Mrs. Margaret
Lewis, deceased, and the corner is oc-
cupied as a barber shop.
Both of the latter buildings are own
ed by Mrs. ]. Wilson. Fenton Brothers
81 Company have the contract for the
moving of these buildingsf The eX-
pense of moving of all four buildinSj
is being borne by the city who will al
SO lay a cement sidewalk on the south
side of Sachem street, from Yantic to
Lafayette street.
To Make Three Flats.
John Ferguson is making arrange
ments to remodel his house on River
Ave. into three flats. Each fiat will
contain seven rooms with bath and
steam heat and the house is to be
wired for electricity. The alterations
will be started Immediately.
To Make Store In Tenement.
Plans have been drawn for changes
to be made to the building formerly
owned by William S. Fletcher, the re-
car Dugas of Glasgo and located at the
corner of Oneco street and Lincoln |
avenue. Mr.. Fletcher for years occu- /
pied the ground floor of the building
as a grocery store and the second floor |
has been occupied as a tenement. The |

COW TESTING.
Proved That Associations Pay Proved
Beyond Doubt.

That a coW-testing association act
ually does pay has been proved beyond
all doubt. Since the first organiza-
ton of this kind was formed, in 1905,
IS for one reason or another have been
discontinued. On the other hand the
records of those in operation show ex-
cellent financial results. There are
seven herds that have remained con-
tinuously in the Michigan association
ever since it was formed in 1905. In
1905 they included so cows and in 1913,
SO cows. In 1906 the average yield for
each COW was $3.50 pounds of milk and
231.1 pounds of butter fat; in 1913 it
was 6.123.4 of milk and 2S4.7 pounds of
fat. In the meantime prices of both
feed and dairy products had risen.
The profit, however, to the datrymen
in the association rose as well. For
each COW it was in 1906, $22.23, and in
1913 it was s51.0S, or an increase of
$28.85. 1t certainly paid these dairy
men. therefore, $1.50 a year for each
COW.
Not only do these records show
which COWS make or lose money for
their owners, but they show to what
extent each is profitable, the amount
of feed given to each COW, and what
kinds of feed at prevailing prices pro-
duce the most satisfactory financial
results.
