 Building Nearing Completion.
 Within a short time the Winchester Woolen Mills building in Thamesville will be completed and ready for oc- cupancy and already parts of ma chinery are being set in place. The second and third floors are practically all finished except for the painting and the work on the other floors are well advanced. to warrant completion in little over two weeks. The steel window sash have been put in place and the majority of the glass set. The boiler house which is on the west side of the building facing the river is nearing the finished stage. The ex- terior work is all complete and men are now engaged in setting up the boilers. The E. J. Cross Co. of Wor- cester. Mass. are doing the work.

hay, paper wrappers and sand have been used. Shrinkage and decay losses have been determined, and es- inmates made as to appearance and flavor. Only the mill sawdust and cork sawdust seem to posses value. All the media kept the apples cooler than when no media were used; but shrinkage decay and flavor impair ment were more fatal than the ther- mometer. Mill sawdust from resinous woods impart an undesirable flavor to apples, but hardwood sawdust does not injure their flavor.
 -Four kinds of protective dips were employed to determine their influence on the preservation of apples, copper sulphate, bordeaux mixture, lime water and paraffin being used as i'm mersion fluids preliminary to storage Bordeaux was most effective in re- tarding decay and preserving the flavor.
 Apples keep best by first immersing them in bordeaux and then packing them in hardwood sawdust. yet ap- pies that are merely dipped in bor- deaux keep nearly as long as those treated, and subsequently packed in sawdust, and their flavor is if any thing better. The structure of the flesh and skin of an apple have much to do with it's keeping qualities. The best keeping varieties have a firm flesh, compact tissue and a thick and highly impervious skin.''

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Norwich Experiences

Kidney disease is too. dangerous to neglect 2 At the first sign of back ache, headache, dizziness or urinary disOrders, you should give the weak ened kidneys prompt attention.

Here's one of the many statements from Norwich people.

WORK ON THE FARM.
Ways In Which Men and Horses Can
 Be Kept Busy at Productive Work
 In Slack Months.

In these days of scarce and high priced labor inability to make every mans time count for the most is bringing failure to many farmers. Efficient management of labor has al ways been an important factor in suc cessful farming. Now it has become indispensable if profits are to be ex- pected.
 On our Connecticut dairy farms the summer and early fall is a period of almost continuous activity. There are crops to plant and care for, hay ing to do, siloS to fill, and on some farms apples and other crops to har- vest. During the late fall and winter ability of the farmer to plan his bus mess so that he will have productive work for his men to do during the slack period may mean success where failure would otherwise result
 On forty eight farms in Meriden Cheshire and Wallingford, fourteen farmers who planned their business so that each man did three hundred days of productive work per year made profits averaging S1,510 each, while fourteen others who managed themselves and their help so that each man did less than two hundred days productive work a year made an average profit of S135 each.
 There are various ways in which horses and men can be kept busy at "OFh these SHACK months. As much of the blowing as possible should be done at this time. This may mean the saving of hiring the next spring. It may prevent de- laying the, whole of the next years work. Apple trees may be pruned in the fall, building repairs made, ma chinery overhauled and put in shape for next year. Manure should be hauled out and spread on the land in the fall rather than be left till spring
 Those farmers who have raised money crops which they can market during the fall and winter are fortu- nate indeed. There is no better way of keeping men and horses at produc- tive work.
 On two hundred and eishty-six Connecticut farms studied in the year 1915, labor constituted 49 per cent or almost one-half of all the expense on the farms. With competition with other lines of business keen, and the price of labor rising, to succeed the farmer must plan the expenditure of farm labor more carefully than ever. II G. Davis, Farm Management Dem onstrator, Connecticut Agricultural College.

 Dairy Show.

The first students butter judging contest ever held at the National Dairy Show was inaugurated this year at Springfield. Teams were entered from Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont. Connecticut, Cornell, New Hampshire, assachusetts, Ohio and Nebraska. There were three men on each team and each man was required to score eighteen tubs of butter. Before the contest the butter was officially scored by committee of three judges. If a student gave tub of butter the same score or within a half point of the same score as the judges he received a perfect score on that tub. Otherwise he was cut a certain number of points depending on the number of points he was off from the judges score. Each student was rated on the basis of 1000 points. Thus it was possible for each team to score 5000 points. s.
