POULTRY

COLONY HOUSES FOR POULTRY Less Liability of Spread of Disease Where' Flocks Can Be Kept Separate and Given Range. There are, many . advantages In keeping fowls in small flocks. There Is less liability to the spread of disease and they may be given free .range. Although the colony house would cost more than a long building,

The Keyes Colony House.

there are no fences to put up and they may be occasionally moved to clean, uncontaminated ground, says the Farm and Home. Colony houses can be built any size desired, but one large enough to accommodate from 40 to 50 fowls will give beet’ results. Two types of houses are shown herewith. The Tillinghast house is one of many in use on the large poultry and fruit farm of G. G. Tillinghast of Hartford county, Conn. It is built of a single thickness of boards and is divided Into two compartments, one being used for laying and sleeping quarters and the other for a scratching shed. A better and somewhat more expensive house is the Keyes house, which Is 10x20 feet, 4 feet high at the eaves and 8 feet at the ridge. Three t roosts run across the short way of the house at the rear end, which Is made tight. There is a door in front and a large window at the west side, which is closed with a glass sash in severe weather. Otherwise the house is open both day and night, the door and window being covered with wire netting. Over 20 of these houses are used on a Massachusetts poultry farm. They are also used largely by Mr. Tillinghast, who builds

CARE OF POULTRY DROPPINGS

Only Way to Save Nitrogen Is to Get Fresh Manure Into Soil Immediately—Heats Rapidly. (By H. B. SPECK.) Some years ago Peruvian and other guanos were largely used by farmers. When pure these guanos consisted of the manure of sea birds. In the rainless regions of the west coast of South America vast numbers of sea birls go to certain islands to breed and roost. As it seldom or never rains there, the manure dries rapidly. “Mixed with it are bodies of dead birds and fish, on which the birds feed. This material is dug up and crushed into a powder and. makes a fine fertilizer. Some farmers had an idea that hen manure is as valuable as this guano—because both are bird manure. This is not so. The value of manure depends on what the animal eats. These sea birds live largely on fish—food rich in nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Naturally their manure is richer than that of hens fed largely on grain. Every one knows that ground fish or meat would prove a better fertilizer than corn meal. The same difference must be found in the manure made froita feeding them. Another difference is found in the fact that the guano is promptly dried and has no chance to heat and ferment, thus driving off its nitrogen. On the other hand, every one who keeps poultry knows how quickly hen manure gives off ammonia, for this is plainly evident, in the smell. As hen manure is usually handled, probably half its nitrogen Is lost in this way. With other farm animals the solids and liquids are voided separately—and 7 as all know the liquids contain most of the available plant food and are most likely to ferment and send off ammonia. In the hen the solids and liquids are voided together. Most of Its nitrogen is in the form of uric acid, which .decays rapidly and "forms ammonia quickly. When It Is left exposed so It will heat there Is great loss.

Keep Yards Clean. Keep the poultry yards cleaned up and allow nothing that has been left uneaten by the to accumulate •nd Recompose.

What the Great Commoner —W. J. Bryan—thinks of Lower Valley of Rio Grande,

T N a speech made by W. J. Bryan in the* locality of Pharr, Texas, he said: “This land is much better than I had expected to see and l am greatly astonished at the wonderful development that has been made here in a short length of time. “You have an ideal country here, a climate that cannot be surpassed. Besides having the natural advantages that God has given you, you have the advantages that very few countries can boast of, ana mat is irrigation. ..... * These three (the land in its natural state, the water, and Mexican labor) intelligently combined, will create land values that will surpass even the present prices of So. California.’’ Mr. Bryan at present owns 200 acres, has erected a beautiful bungalow, and is contemplating the erection of a $50,000 southern home.
