Bids are being asked for the erection of building for the street department and for the construction of retaining walls in Shaw street. Bids will be re- ceived until Saturday, when they will be opened

The build ing will be located in WaIbach street on property recently purchased by the citv.
 The retaining walls, which are to be constructed in Shaw street, are in connection with the laying of the new walks and strengthening and grading of the street In doing the work em- bankments of several properties were cut down, etc. and the city is to build retaining walls to hold up the em- bankments.
 Alderman Morgan chairman of the street committee, states that storage building is an absolute necessity Hun dreds of dollars have been spent by the city for several fears past which could have been saved if the city had had a storage building. The steam rollers,

tfon Survey" conducted by the De-
 partment of Dairy Husbandry of the Connecticut Agricultural A College was very striking There are natural rea- sons why such variations should exist but on all farms careful consideration should be given them. Take for in stance the item of the cost of get ting milk to the milk plant or ship ping station.
 In some instances in a community a milk team took care of the milk col lection and generally when conditions warrant. this is to be recommended In other instances, two CT more far mers would alternate by days or weeks so that it was necessary to make the trip only half or one third or less as often when the milk was hauled daily. The loss of time of man and horse was very large when no cooperation existed, because the average distance to haul is from two to three miles. This consumes not less than two hours daily of man and horse labor, which at 25 cents and 20 cents per hour respectively, would amount to s32850 per year, not in- cluding charge for keeping a wagon in running order. When only few cans are hauled daily, as is usually the case, the cost per quart for transpor- tatfon is necessarily great. In this day where efficient efforts are so inn portant such a practice could well be discontinued unless there are other very good reasons for making the trip. -G. c. White.

The Minor ~ Construction Co. of Worcester has been awarded the con- tract for the erection of a one-story building that will be built by the In ternation Army and Navy associa- tion of the Y. M. c. A. for this dis trict The plans for this construction have been submitted to the National War Work council of the association at Washington, which has given its approval and asked for inme ediate work.
 The foundation of this new build ing at the base will be started to- day This will be 40 by 12O feet. The carpenters will arrive from Wor- cester during the first part of next week to work on the superstructure that will consume three weeks in building.
 A big moving picture gallery will be provided so that the sailors may be able to witness the movies very often during the winter, and the ma chine can be 8 arranged that it may be turned and show the pictures in the outdoor during the summer months. Room will be set aside for a small gymnasium and other parts for pthe libary and study rooms where classes will be carried
 The building will be built in front of the barracks on the water front where the air is cool and refreshing It is hoped that the contractors will complete the work in the time named so that the men may get the prfvi- leges they have been anxiously wait ing for the past two or three months.

CULLING OUT THE sLACkERS
 PAID.

Culling the flock to eliminate the non laying hens is one method of in creasing profits in the poultry busi- ness. Conclusive proof of this is ap- parent in reports of two demonstra- = bers of the poultry department of the Connecticut Agricultural college. One of these demonstrations was held at the home of Frank D. Edmunds at North Windham July 12th The week before the demonstrat ton the flock of 322 hens laid 593 eggs. or an avera ge of 26.3 per cent. A total of 124 birds was culled from the flock, leaving 198 hens. These hens laid during the fol- lowing week 559 eggs. or an average of 40.3 per cent.
 Another demonstration was put on by the poultry department at the farm of Mrs. F. Huntington Clark at Rox- bury July 10th. Previous to the dem onstration this flock of 9S0 hens laid s,406 eggs, or an average of 35 per cent. The flock was culled to GIT birds, 303 being removed. These GIT hens laid 2,75o eggs the week following the demonstration. an average of 41 per cent. The 303 culls were held at the farm for 36 hours after being sep arated and during that time they laid only 10 eggs.
 What has been done with these hocks can be duplicated practically anywhere in the state. The poultry department Is prepared at any time to help show the people of the state how to detect the drones in their f1ocks.

THE GROWING OF BEANS.

Beans are tender plants and must be kept free from weeds for good crops For small plots there is nothing better than a wheel hoe. If weeds or grass are bad, hand hoeing will be necessary Kill the weeds when they are small.
 At the Storrs Experiment station beans are planted in rows 2S inches apart, and a one-horse spike tooth cul- tivator is used for cultivation since it shuts up narrow and does not throw much soil
 Cultivation and Disease-It has been proved that anthracnose (pod spot or rust) is spread by hoeing and cultivat- ing when the vines are wet. For this reason it is best to keep out of the bean field when a heavy dew is on or after a rain.
 raying.-Spraying for anthrocnose is of no value. If insects like rose bee ties are serious, spray with arSenate of lead (paste), one pound to ten gallons of water. Agronomy Department. Connecticut Agricultural College
