PQULTRY HOUSE PLAN . . WITH PADDED ROOF

* Everything Considered, It Is Practical, Satisfactory and : - ‘lnexpensive Building and One Which : e o Should Prove Serviceable. ° i

The plan and diagram herewith submitted give a good idea for building a poultry house 30x15 \feet.v eight feet high in front and six feet high in the rear, writes A:. A. Ziemer in The Farmer. It is simply but well built of small dimension ‘tuﬂ and matched boards, covered on the outside with prepared roofing and lined with tar paper. It is a very light and warm house. Wirenetting is stretched on the under side of the rafters and the space between it and the roof .is stuffed with oat straw which keeps the house warm and free from dampness. . - The house lis divided into - three sections by partitions of wire netting and each section or pen has two windows in front, each 24x28 inches in size. The roost platforms are two feet above, the floor and three feet %8 venh S :

wide, placed against the back wall. | The roosts are 12 inches above the | platforim and rest upon a frame which is hinged to the back wall and may be turned up to facilitate cleaning the platforms. Underneath the front of | the platforms are nests. The hens ap- | proach the nests from the rear, going in at the ends of the platforms, and hinged boards hang from the fronts of the platforms to keep the nests | dark, but can be raised when the at- | tendant collects the éggs. The front of the platform is supported by a 2x4 piece at each corner and the back is fastened to the wall. - The positions of the dust baths, water cans, grit and shell boxes, etc., are indicated on thé plan, as gre also the positions” of exterior and interior

Concrete construction should be as nearly continuous as possible, but if the conditions will not justify one in building continuously, the ‘points at which the joints are to occur should be predetermined and the work done accordingly. Horizontal joints or seams are more objectionable than vertical ones and, as it is not necessary to have both, horizontal ones .should be avoided in. foundations which serve as basement or cellar walls. The position or character of a joint in a shallow foundation which does not serve as a wall -is not important, but in all concrete work ,joints should be avoided when possible. ' ¢ “_ 'l'ne fdeal way to construct with concrete is to continue without interruption ‘the work once started, until the structure is completed; never depositing concrete on or against concrete that has hardened. One does not ex‘pect to find it possible to work under ideal' conditions, but. all work should be handled so as to get, as nearly as practicable, the results obtainable under such conditions. : Unless a foundation can be constructed in a continuous operation, it - is best to divide the work into sec- ~ tions and complete each section without interruption. This will make it necessary to provide for vertical joints _at both ends of each section. To accomplish this the forms should 'be erected in sections, or a board should be set up in form, making a complete partition. So that the sections of the wall will be keyed into‘each other, a groove should be formed-in both ends of the first section, and thereafter in one end of each section. Such a groove can be made as shown in the sketch, by placing a 2 by 4-nch timber vertically against the end wall or partition in the form. Previous to -placing, the edges of the 2 by 4 should be dressed to give a slightly wedgeshape; this is necessary to make it possible to remove it without destroying or marring the groove. In the course of construction, the next section will be concreted against the

doors and doors for the fowls. The clover rack 1s made of four{inch mesh wire netting and is four feet high and two fegt in diameter. Itsigosition in each pen' is indicated on the ground plan. At the back of eachpen is an opening in the wall Bxxl2 inches, which is *opened when the weather permits but closed at night, except in the hot months of summer;,’ .= Muslingis tacked over these openings during the winter. to!prevent a draft when the wooden shutters are open. Over each outside door is an opening Bxl4 inches, which "is open nearly all the time, winter and summer, but which is covered with muslin in winter. ; During cold winter nights a muslin curtain i 3 let down in front of the roosts and also over the windows. o ~ Everything considered, this is ‘a practical, satisfactory and inexpenR 0 S |

sive building and one whi.@h will give everyone thorough satisfaction. Chickens Stir with Daylight. . Chickens begin to stir with the very first daylight, and any one/ who.counts upon making money by poultry must plan to get up early. The chicks are ready for their breakfast as soon as they can see to pick it up, and it does pot tend.to keep them growing to let them want for it long. - ° Regular Ration Unnecessary. = If your birds have access to a corn field it is not necessary to feed them the regular ration. They will find grasshoppers and other insects which will halance and make it ideal for fattening’ purposes.

first and the groove will be filled with concrete, thus keeping the two sections together. s Milch Cows in United States. The number of milch cows given by the United States government repert is 21,801,000, being 81,000 more than in the previous year. There has’ been a steady increase in the value of milch cows per head, which is'an indication of the greater interest itaken in the dairy industry in more recent years. In 1910 a milch cow is| said- to be worth $35.79, w®hile in 1909 the price was $32.36, and in 1908, $37:67. The total valuation of milch cows is placed at $780,308,000. S : New York heads the list of milch cows with 1,271,000; lowa follows with 1,570,000; Wisconsin, 1,506,000, Pennsylvania, 1,140,000; Illinois, 1,232,000; Texas, 1,137,000, and Minnesota, 1,125, 000. The smallest number (19,000) is found in Nevada. The highest valuation per head is in New Jersey, where the figures are $47.50, : Seeding Peas. : Peas should be seeded early for the best results, aithough -good crops are often secured from seeding as late as thé first week in June. The crop may be harvested economically by’ cutting the peas with -a mower equipped with a pea lifting attachment. The crop must be thoroughly cured in small eovered bunches before it’is stored. ~ Hog Cholera Serum; y The Kansas Agricultural college, expects to produce at least 100,000 doses ‘of hog cholera serum next year in an éffort to greatly increase the value of the Kansas hog crop. : Pbultry in France. In France parts of the carcass of a fowl can be purchased in market—legs, wings, heart or any part wanted. et e e e ‘The uses of the automobile upon the farm are many, especially upon ithe deiry farm. .

" Keep the land free from weeds by burning the seed. _ Dairy cows are being bought in Ver: mont- and shipped to lowa. Borrowing is poor poljcy at all times. It never cements friendship. Watch for and destroy all weeds that appear during late summer and fall. : f\'hy, certainly .the machinery should all be under shelter by this time. : c’\ . The'br‘.ick-shaped pound print of butter is the most popular upon the market. Unfruitful orchards, as a rule, are 80 because the soil is deficient in plant food. . - / : Thor‘oughbréd stock not only pay their board, but lay up something for the “rainy day.” Winter ryé, especially a little further south, make good early pasture in the Log lot. -

Milk the cow fhoroughly. The strippings are at least three times as rich &s the first of the milk. :

ThorOGghly clean and whitewash the hen house this month. The cleaner and whiter it is the better. Sl

A few mote conveniences and comforts would do much to keep the young folks Interested in the farm. .

It won't pay to try to brace up an old tree that blew down during the heavy storm. Plant a new tree in itg place. ¢

‘The dairyman must treat his cows as individuals, not as a job lot. Each animal has her particular tastes and tendencies. : _ Ring-worm on cattle may be cured, by washing once a day with a five per cent. solution of carbolic acid, until healed. A cow' should have at least six weeks’ vacation bétween:milking periods. If she is milked continually she will not last long. ' . The poultry industry has flourished as no other livestock industry, yet the value of poultry produats is higher than it has been for years. 2 : It Is of supreme importance that the dairy stock should be handled gently. Wild and intractable animals are usually the result of harsh handling. : Where dry grains are extensively fed to fowls, they should have succulent food—melons, culled potatoes, beets and tomatoes will answer this purpose. Twenty-eight years ago hogs reached the present level of prices. The cause then was scarcity due to a great epidemic of cholera which had swept over the west. . - Good garden implements are essential for successful gardening. - Much of the benefit and pleasure derived from work in the garden is missed by having poor tools. The best are the cheapest. e Where milo is grown for poultry it need not be threshed. Fowls eat it as readily from the head as when it is threshed. Milo has a crooked stem and it .is sometimes convenient to hang the heads in the chicken house. The ﬁowerogarden may not be as profitable as the vegetable garden, but -it will add cheer, comfort and contentment to the home. The rest and peace of mind afforded by strolls In the flower garden is not to be compared with money. &

The condition of the bowels is the best indication of the fowl's health. When the droppings are more. or less hadr, a dark brown color, capped with white, we know the fowl is enjoying the best of health. But when they are yellow and watery, indigestion, if not liver troubles, are the cause.

There are various methods for ventilating poultry houses, but the best and simplest is to le. the fresh air come in unobstructed except by a muslin screen. Remove the window sash and tack on muslin in its place. Enough air will enter to keep the house dry and sanitary, but there will be no breeze, even in very stormy weather. 7 .

Many city horses with hoofs bound and cracked and otherwise injured, have been taken to a farm, their shoes pulled off and turned out to pasture and thoroughly cured within six months. In fact, the farmers around the large cities used to find in this class of animals a cheap supply, many of which turned out to be first-class horses, showing that all that w-s needed was rest on Mother Earth without their shoes.

- The litter carrier is handy. ' Make a seed bed for canteloupes. Have you seed ready to sow that hog pasture? Imported breeds of hogs are improving the hog profits. Sheep will eat brush but they will not get very fat on such a diet. - Young hogs can be fattened more profitably than those that are older. - Even the farmers are getting fond of burning the gasoline‘along the highway, _ No frult makes .stronger appeal, through outward beauty than the peach. S | Cows like some roughness to nibble vn all the time and it pays to give it to them. A il : Plan not only to have a good early garden, but a good garden all fbrough the season. : If the pigs are kept confined upon &2 hard floor they are apt to have crooked legs. : Duck eggs when over a week old should not be sold because they soon lose their fertility. : If your best mare Is worth $2OO to some other farmer she. is worth $2OO to you. Remember that. A small herd of heifer calves—the produce of the best cows—should be kept upon the farm every year. :

. Ground speltz makes a fair substitute for bran. Mixed with ground corn it makes a very good dairy ration.

A frequent change of feed will keep the cow’s appetite keen and her production will depend upon what she eats.

If the working hours are reasonable from your farm give it the kind of care that will make it produce large crops. = :

- It is not a good plan to change the quarters of pullets or hens while they are laying. It is very apt to check egg production. : ; 3 : At an average price of-15 cents per dozen a hen will ‘havé to lay five or six dozen eggs to pay for the feed she consumes in a year. Ducks can be raised without water other than drinking water. The return on cost of feed‘ and labor are much quicker than with broilers. In selecting branches of geraniums for cuttings, -choose the ones that br‘eak‘geadily, because they will send out rodts quicker from the broken surface. . . “Peggy,” the mother of five prizewinner hens, is said to be valued at $l,OOO. She is a White Orpington, and. scored"Q"'% points out of a possible 100. The incubator chick starts out In life under really more favorable conditions than the hen-hatched chick, for its surroundings are clean and free of lice and disease. A Guernsey cow. produced in one year 14,571 pounds of milk and 955 pounds of butter fat. To produce this she ate 5,330 pounds of grain in addition to silage, hay and fodder. Milo is a splendid poultry feed. It contains a large amount of carbohydrates and a small amount of protein. It should be fed with wheat bran or other foods rich in protein. Buttef to be graded as extra must have a quick, fine and fresh flavor. Its body must be good and uniform. The color must be good for the season when made, properly salted, neither gritty or flat. In mixed breeding, or crossed-breed-ing, nothing is accomplished beyond the first cross. While-a few good individuals are occasion4lly secured, the tendency is for the progeny to fall be‘low rather than above the average. One vigorous male to every ten hens is sufficient for good fertility in the average farm flock, and with the smaller breeds one vigorous male with 15 hens will answer. An excessively large number of males only entails needless expense. ’ The garden should be planted with a view to using tillage implements. Hand tools are slow and irksome, and should be dispensed gvith whenever possible. A trained horge and good one-horse cultivator will do more and better work .in ome hour than ecan 'be done with a hoe in a day. ~lf pasture has not been provided for ‘the work animals and young ' stock on the farm, this should be provided for this spring. You will see the ‘wisdom of this if you attempt to live on dry foods alone. When you provide vegetables for your table, do not for‘get the work animals.

For the orchardist to get the best results, his orchard should not be located more than six miles from the railroad or other transportation agency, :or the double reason that to haul his product a greater distance lessens its market value:and because the bétter the transportation facilitizs the more easily it is for him to market his product. X

The same suggestions for the prep aration of land for watermelons apply to cantaloupes, except that: the distance for cantaloupes is usually five feet each way. Cantaloupes do not grow as vigorously as watermelons, and hence do not require as much space for the vines. They are, however, rank feeders and require a fertile soil and good cultivation. Much of the quality and flavor of the melon is lost if they are neglected. Cantaloupes mature sooner than watermelons, but should be planted about the same time.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn. and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad. that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. F:could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite, sore since.

Treatment for Lump Jaw.

Lump jaw is due to a fungus which is usually taken into the animal's system in feed consumed. Lump jaw is liable to affect the glands of the throat or the bones of the head, writes Doctor David Roberts in American Cultivator. It is not advisable to keep an animal thus afflicted lingering in a herd. On the other hand it is advisable to either treat such an animal or kill it, as such animals invite diseases into the herd, owing to the fact that they are so reduced in vitality that they have no resisting power. A remarkably large per cent. of such cases can be successfully treated if taken in time by opening up the enlargement and washing it out with a strong antiseptic solution, 'like five of carbolic acid in water, and putting the animals on a tonic. In this way the afflicted animal is not only saved, but the entire herd is protected against disease. ; : Where She Scored. Sheldon Kerruish tells this story on his esteemed. father: : “One day a long time ago a number of children in our neighborhood were talking about the bad habits of their parents. : “‘My father smokes 15 cigars a day,’ said a little girl, boastfully like. *“‘My father swears something awful when supper is late,” said another. “‘My papa came home tight the other night,” remarked a third. “It was my little sister’s:-turn next. ““You just ought to see my papa read Cicero,” she said, and all the other little girls retired in confusion, gladly admitting that sister had won the prize.—Cleveland Leader. : ; MISCHIEF MAKER : A Surprise in Brooklyn. An adult’s food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: “When baby 'was about eleven months old-he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his motheris milk: not being sufficient nourishment.

“One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a second which he likewise finished. “It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischiefmaker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. ‘“We have put before him other foods, but he will ' have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend Grape-Nuts. : : “Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the bright ness it has brought to our household.” Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Nature’s grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups. Read the little book, ‘“The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There’s a Reason.” .
