POULTRY

COLONY HOUSES PROVE BEST Have Many Advantages Because They Can Be Moved From Place to Place Little Trouble. I like colony houses because they can be moved easily from pla'ce to place and thus insure clean surroundings for the chicks. They also enable one to take the broods from an undesirable place such as the dooryard or

Side Elevation.

the garden and keep them in a field where there is plenty of insect food or scattered grain left by the binder or the reaper, writes W. J. Judson in the orange Judd Farmer. In such surroundings the chicks can save considerable outlay for food by converting into flesh what would otherwise go to waste. Young chickens can be removed from the house or the brooders when about six weeks old. If taken from hens, they should be dusted thoroughly for lice at that time and if hot already marked should be marked with a poultry punch. At first they should be confined to a temporary yard by wire netting not less than two feet high. A convenient size for this yard is one rod each way. Of course, the larger the inclosure, the more grass there will be for the chicks. It is best to keep them here for three or four days, or a week, depending upon their age and the distance they are removed from their former location. When they become accustomed to the place, the fence may be removed by using hoppers which contain one-half to one bushel of feed, but sonsiderable

Front of Colony House.

time may be saved in feeding, it being necessary to fill the hoppers only once or twice a week. A very convenient sized house for 50 to 70 chicks is shown in the accoinpanying Illustration. It is six by three and one-half feet on the ground, three feet high in front and two feet behind. Iron roofing or building paper may be used, both on the top and on the sides. For floors, one-inch matched stuff is best. The bottom may be made rft rough boards, the upper side planed. In the summer the chicks need an opening about ten inches wide, running the entire length of the front. This may be covered on the inside with one-inch mesh poultry wire. Where the door "is full high, three feet, it is much handier to have a screened opening on the top, ten inches in width, as shown in the drawing. Two men can carry such houses from place to place or one person can shift them by moving one end at a time. By using colony houses, I believe the farmer can produce healthier chicks with less expense and better than by the ordinary methods practiced on most farms.

MUSCOVY DUCK IS PECULIAR

They Are Very Tame and Easier to Raise Than Chickens—Make Excellent Fowl for the Tabled To appreciate the beauty of Muscovy ducks it is necessary to see them. There are two varieties, the colored and the white. The colored may be either blue", black, green or fawn, but whichever shade they chance to be they are lustrous and shiny, and the dark coloring is relieved by underwings and sides of snowy white, says the Prairie Farmer. They have scarlet faces all around their eyes down to their bills; on their heads is a crescent of feathers that lays flat until the bird is excited or angry, then those short, soft feathers stand up straight, forming a cap. The hen duck is about the size of a Pekin, dainty and very beautiful. The drakeris extremely large, weighing when matured between ten and twelve pounds. The white Muscovies are the same as the colored excepting that they are entirely white. The peculiarities of the Muscovies are numerous and interesting. They never quack, but make a queer husky, hissing sound. Both ducks and drakes fly like pigeons, but the ducks being of lighter weight, can fly a greater distance. They will rise from the barnyard, circle a forty-acre field and finally alight in almost the same spot from which they started. They roost on barns and other high places. yThe ducks are splendid layers. They usually build their nests in lofts and in the high boxes in the henhouse.

THE MIDDLEMEN’S HIGH TOLL

Some Pertinent Questions Which the Voter Will Do Well to Consider. William Hope, a South Americans cattle and wheat ’’king,” from Buenos Ayres, asks two pertinent questions. The first is why do the Britons, who ship their wheat from America, pay only 3 cents for a pound loaf of bread, while we, in the greatest land of wheat, pay 5 cents for a scant pound loaf? The second is, why does the Briton pay only 10 cents for meat for which we, growers of meat, pay 20 cents? Mr. Hope answers the question himself —at least in part His answer is “middlemen.” The beet trust, he finds, tells the grower what it will pay for his product, and tells the consumer t what he must pay for the meat. Only the other day there appeared in these columns a comment from the St. Paul papers on the fact that farmers are receiving less for their meat than a year ago and the people are paying more for It —at least In Minnesota. Our cost of distribution —of getting American meat and wheat to American tables —Mr. Hope declares, is so great that with fair entry he could ship both from Argentina and sell cheaper on the docks in New York than we could from Chicago; and he points out that Argentina does not have “pauper labor.” Mr. Hope emphasizes the fact that we are clearly the victims of the organized middlemen. The chief middleman whom he points out is J. Pierpont Morgan, organizer of the trusts. In Mr. Hope’s eyes he is the emperor of the United States, to whom all pay tribute. Hope is positive that no other ruler in the world, with the possible exception of the autocratic czar of the Russlas, has so much power and demands so much tribute. It is collected through the necessities. He well declares that no such state of affairs would —or could—be endured in Great Britain. Mr. Hope only more graphically states, with his illustrations in the cost of meat and bread, exactly the thing which President Yoakum of the Frisco system; Dan G. Reid, of the Rock Island, and Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural department, have pointed opt. Mr. Yoakum deals in figures in the bulk, showing that the consumers pay >13,000,000,000 annually for what the producers receive only >6,000,000,000 for, the other >7,000,000,000 going to fatten trusts and meet the toll of middlemen. Mr. Reid shows that grapes that sell for 5 cents In California and that the railroads transport for 1% cents a pound, sell In Chicago for 40 cents. Mr. Wilson summarize? by declaring that the farmer seldom gets over 41 cents of the consumer’s dollar and often only 33 cents. Hope, Yoakum, Reid, Wilson all agree. The toll-taking is unfair.

Misleading Tariff Figures.

The statement attributed to Disraeli that “nothing is so deceptive as facts, except figures,” is called to mind by some statistics put out by government officials at Washington showing that during the first two years under the Payne-Aldrich law the total duties collected on Imported goods were equal to 20.68 per cent, of the value of imports, which campares with an average of 25.47 per cent, in the 12 years of the Dingley law. Defenders of the existing tariff law will be abler to point to this comparison as evidence that the tariff was reduced. But only half the facts are stated. The actual average rate of duty on dutiable imports was 41.6 per cent, last year. Slightly more than half of all imports came in free of duty. The addition of hides to the free list account for more of the difference between the average ad valorem duty on all imports in the past two years and that of the preceding 12 years, so the figures really do not signify any important change in the general tariff list. The average ad valorem rate on dutiable Imports in the last year of the Dingley law was 43.15 per cent., and in the next to the last year 42.94 per cent. These figures compere with 41.8 per cent in the year ending June 30, 1911, and 41.6 per cent in the preceding year. Comparing the first two years under the Payne-Aldrich law law it appears hat there has been a reduction of 1.7 per cent in actual ad valorem rates on dutiable imports. Even this Insignificant reduction is in duties could be changed without disturbing the special privileges of the powerfully organized manufacturers.

Getting Onto the Game.

They hooted the German chancellor in the Reichstag when he insisted that the tariff had nothing to do with the high cost of living. Everywhere the people are getting wise to the game by. which classes with political influence have had the tariff laws fixed to suit themselves. Without regard to the expense entailed on the great mass of the people who have to buy the goods.

Taft’s Tour Summed Up.

Serious consideration of the results of the president’s travels and speeches does not afford unbounded comfort for his followers. In no essential point has he appeared to strengthen his cause. He has won deserved commendation because of his utterances in defense of ‘the judicial authorities ofi the nation. But, in other'respects, he has not been a pronounced success in aiding his prospects for the future. A Democratic president in 1912 a mora than a possibility. *
