It is always best to use a good grade of boards for sheating as paper roofing materials will last much longer on a smooth surface and will pay for the extra, cost. Perches All the perches should be on the s/amc level because otherwise the fowls will to roost on the highest and many of them will be hurt by falling off. Perches should be in the warmest part of the pen so that the hens will not be cold during the night when they are inactive. If perches are removable it is easier to clean and disinfect them as well as to fight

mites.

Small hens, as a general rule, should have about 6 inches of perch space and larger hens should be allowed S inches. In winter, hens huddle closer together but in summer they should have plenty of room. Perches should be 12 to 14 inches apart and not closer than 14 inches to the wall or ceiling.

droppings. This will also catch any eg!gs laid at night; and by keeping the hens from dropping boards, clean-

er market eggs will result.

Dropping Boards

If the hens are fed inside the house in. winter, place boards under the perches to catch the manure. This

so arranged that the hens enter from the rear and the poultyman gathers the eggs by opening a door or doors on the front side. The objection to this plan are that the floor under the dropping boards is of little use in feeding and also is dark so that the hens are more likely to lay in the straw on the floor than in the nests. The result often is that eggs are not gathered for several days. In most poultry houses the purpose of the dropping, boards is defeated if the nests are placed below them. This means that a larger house must be planned, as the exercising space for each is reduced because the hens will not utilize the dark space back of the nests. The best arrangement is to have the nests on the wall. A common plan is to fasten small open boxes to the walls of the poultry house. If the boxes become infested with mites, the entire box can be burned and new ones used. Thlis method does not allow trap nesting, and the nests are not dark, yet it is used widely by poultrymen. There are several good types of wull nests, some darkened and others

not.

A nest for a Leghorn or other small hen should be 12 inches square; for the larger varieties, 14 inches square. The nest should give at least 12 inches head room and be about 14 inches high. Witlj an average flock, one nest to four or fufe hens lis cnougjh. Nests should be kept clean and w'ell bedded with fine straw or hay. Shavings or excelsior may stain the eggs. Coarse straw and other harsh materials are not good because a Jien bkes a pliable, soft substance in the nest. Watering Devices Water should be in a convenient place. It is best to make a small stand about one foot above the floor and put the water dish on this. The water stand should be in a light place where it is convenient to empty the dish and refill it. The water dish

WAIT A BIT BEFORE BUYING RADIOPHONE

Says College, Advising Those Who Plan to Hear Daily Market Reports

Daily inquiries are received at the Extension Offices of the Ohio State University as to the type of radio receiving set which will be needed to hear the daily crop and market reports that are to be broadcasted from the University. Farmers all over Ohio as well as the county farm bureau offices, are planning to receive this material. To all inquiefs, H. C. Ramsower, director of extension, replies that necessary experiments will postpone initiation of the service for from'two to four vceeks. and that until these experiments are concluded >10 one can be advised just what apparatus to buy. It will also be advisable to put off purchases until the Hoover Radio Conference, now convened in Washington, .formulates Its regulations and assigns wave-lengths for various kinds of stations, Mr. Ramsower says.

and the non-portable.

' The portable type is especially adapted to growing young stock. The usual method is to nail the house on runners. In this way it can be moved from place to place with a team. A house ten by twelve feet built oh runners makes an ideal brooder house. Five hundi'ed baby chicks can be cared for in a building of this size with a fair sized runway or an additional

scratch room.

When used for older chickens thi'j type of house saves much feed which would otherwise be wasted in the fields because after the crop has been harvested the house and chickens can be moved into the field. The poultry is always kept on clean ground in this way which is free from disease They will also get more insects than j if the house always remained near I the farm buildings. This is especial-1 ly true in some years when grasshop- i pers are numerous. The chickens pick much of their living and also rid the farm of troublesome pests. On some of the larger poultry farms, the chickens are kept in portable colony houses all their lives, j The young stock is started while the! houses are near the farm buildings | and as they grow older they are mov- j ed farther from the buildings out into the field.

Dust Bath

In the winter a dust bath should be placed near an open window so that the sun shines on it during a part of the day. A common box filled with fine sand or sifted coal ashes, and road dust makes a gi6od dust bath.

stones or other coarse material, and then connect with tile drains to remove all the water from under the house. In places where stones are abundant, poultry houses are put on stone walls, but unless cement is used to fasten the stones together securely, rats will often work under the house and do a great deal of damage. A loose stone wall is an ideal dwelling place for rats and should never be placed under a puoltry house.

Kinds Of Floors

In many localities a sand or dirt floor is cheap and advisable. Hens like a dirt floor if it is dry. It makes a natural dust wallow but must be replaced often in order to keep the house sanitary. A dirt floor must always be well above the outside surface so that the water drains away leaving the floor dry and comfortable for the fowls. Where a cement foundation is used for the house, one

The issuing of orders of 500,000 coal miners who are directel to go out on strike at the close of the present month has been expected for a good while and yet it must be, of course, a shock to business and industry. The. securities market has .town a certain efi'ett of it already, though fT haS not suffered severely.! There is some reason to suppose that an early compromise in the strike will be reached. Excessive prices upon consumers, 1 however, necesitate a definite decision i «n this question as soon as possible. Bituminous coal, which represents j the industrial side of the situation, is J now sold at prices and under condi- ' tions which make it impossible for ' the operators to continue paying present rates of wages. Post war adjustment has at last reached the coal industry and is as inevitable there as anywhere. The Bonus and the Banks As was expected, the House of Representatives has passed the bonus bill with practically no debate. President Harding stands firm, it is understood, in his practical notice that he will veto the measure should it come to him in its present form. Action on the part of the House, therefore, is to be regarded as representing merely a “political’’ step, and there are few who believe that similar action will be taken in the Senate. Nevertheless, the fact that the bill is now before the upper chamber and that bonus advocates are concentrating their influence upon Senators to coerce enough votes for the passage of their measure makes it at least possible that the bill may come to the President for decisive action before the session closes. In the form in Which now adopted, the bonus measure would unload the principal burden of the undertaking upon the banks, inasmuch as these institutions would

ly all of the producers of this type of machine. The large orders of the equipment companies have resulted in greatly increased activity on their part with decided advances jn value during the past week or more. In line with these, symptoms . of business gam, is the steady growth of the demand for copper and the corresponding decrease in the supply of copper stocks on hand. The higher quotations for copper stocks undoubtedly point to the spread of a belief that with fresh business will come the reopening of mines and eventually the resumption of dividends on the part of those who have suspended them.

Traction Situation Interesting In the face of the fact that very low valuations of local traction properties have been established by the Transit Commission, traction shares have held their own well, and in some cases improved. Many of the lines are unquestionably worth far more than the valuation set upon them by the Commission. In the event of continue! difference of opinion, moreover, they have, of course, their right of anpeal to the courts. It may reasonably be expected that with the improving economic conditions, these stocks will continue to gain in strength. That such will be the case is indicated by the shares of other companies located elsewhere, which are already showing! the results of better traffic. Improving business has also during the past week led to distinct advances in some of the railroad shares, especially of New York Central, which has again been reported as likely to make absorptions of subordinate lines that may increase its earning and hence its dividend payrates that will permit the payment of the Supreme Court in connection with railroad rates, especially the unanimous verdict in the Wisconsin case, holding that the railroads are entitled under the Transportation Act to ates that will permit the payment of a remunerative return on the entire mileage of the country, have had a distinct effect in reassuring doubtful buyers of transportation issues.

There has been a well sustained volume of trading during the past week, and while prices have held their own tolerably well, there has been some irregularity and uncertainty. A number of issues have gone up to points wrich make them look less attractive, but outside of moderate reactions due to profit taking there is nothing to indicate that the top has yet been reached. Heretofore the general public has been timid in purchasing the stocks of corporations v/hich showed poor earnings in 1921. The better prospects now held out are overcoming this reluctance and many now believe that the outlook is suffieently satisfactory to warrant them in purchasing more freely. Some temporary or minor recessions are always to be expected in every general forward movement, but this has no bearing upon fundamental conditions, which have agtain reached a point where they can be regarded as sound.
