I’G'nly of Fr^wh Air and Sunlight |* Danger in Overcrowd-
ing Or Drafts.
A comfortable hen is the only kind of a hen that is profitable, says the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. With high price® for eggs in view, one cannot afford not to keep the hen comfortable this winter by overlooking a few repairs and alterations around the hen house which need not he
costly.
One of the first things to consider in providing ideal living conditions in the hen house in winter is the matter of overcrowding. This is a common mistake. From three to four square feet of floor space for every bird : recommended. Plenty of fresh air is also an important requirement for making hens comfortable. A poorly ventilated house is foul, close ami uuhealthful.
ing in the house near a crack in wall will quickly develop roup. Sunlight is aF needed for making | the hens most comfortable. Not only is sunlight the best disinfectant for killing disease germs, hut it helps to keep the house dry and to keep th.
hens feeling well

The accompanying design for i poultry house for 100 hen® originated by the poultry department, Cornell university.

many successful pi ultrvmen find that the poultry house should be made tight on three sides with a part of the front, preferably on tin -outh side open to admit fresh air. It is especially important to make the wall- absolutely tight so that then will he no drafts in the house. A hen roost-
is off the floor so that no floor space is wasted. Practically all the equipment can be made at home. The Institute recommends this very useful poultry house, and this design is also offered as containing suggestions to hi* used in alternating or re-ar-ranging old poultry houses.

conuiiemoratlve of our national natal day, boasts only a respectable antiquity of n century and a half, but another century nt ’ n half must he added to rnrry us backward to the historical origin of the day that we have nationally dedicated to prayer and thanksgiving—to the days of bluff Governor Bradford and to the first struggling colony of heroic pilgrims. It was in this cradle of our ronmiouwealth that the observance of a dav of thanks was first nurtured on our soil, though Its Inspiration w is brought from lands across the sens and probably threaded human history

First Thanksgiving, Benjamin Franklin tells us that. In a time of great despondency among the first settlers of New England, it was proposed In one of their public meetings to proclaim u fust. An aged farmer arose and spoke of their provoking Heaven vith their compliments and of the many mercies they | had already received and of Hie many causes they had for thanksgiving. He then made u motion that instead of i appointing u day of fasting, they should appoint a day of thank-giving. To lids the assembly agreed. The first Thanksgiving day was kept amid circumstances most unpropitious i and with gaunt famine hovering over the rude and cheerless dwellings of that little colony. The summer ot 1021, following the landing at Plymouth, yielded hut a scanty harvest and unless speedy supplies came from Europe ^he sturdy Colonists foresaw that they would be reduced to the point of starvation. Vet, amid such surroundings ns these, we learn from the old chronicles that Governor P»rndford, "lhe harvest being gotten in, sent four men out on fowling, so that we might, after a more special manner, rejoice together after we find gathered the fruits of our labors.’ - And thus.
In.ton, by request of congress, recommended a day of thanksgiving for the adoption of the Constitution. Washington -sued u second proclamation of thanksgiving In 1795, on account of tl • suppression of Insurrae-
■nt Madison, hy request recommended n tlianksace in 1S15, at the conWar of 1812. But the mendntlon ot a day for thanks was mainly conEngland, until 1517, kite it wits regularly aphy the governer of New

Me t county drives will follow these

At the schools the vaiiou departments of the Indiana Farm Bureau are explained. The reports of the departments are e-pc. hilly inductive to enlarging the membership for 1928, as the advantages of cooperative endeavor in selling an pun basing are very pronounced. It is well-known throughout the turul communities of th* Mid-We-t states that all authoritie- mi farm relief legislation insist that * * pnation or organization of the farm p* ph 1 is the first requisite. The Indiana 1 arm Bureau Federation ranks amm the most successful in the country and is first in the amount of busines transacted in its farmei-owned coopeiat-,
ives.
The fourth annual report of the automobile insurance division, Indiana Farm Bureau, reveals that nearly 39,000 Indiana cars an 1 protected in the State Farm Mutual Auto In-ui an«-e Company. The business for 1928 Miows an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. H. R. Nevins, director in charge, -ays; “The savings of farmers because of thi- department is a veryhard mutter to estimate, but we believe that the policies in force for 1928 provide savings of a greater amount than the total membership dues paid hy all the Farm Bureau members of Indiana in the last three years. However in our judgement, the savings hould be of least con-ideration, as the service rendered to policy holders
claims ranged from $.80 to $2,50(1 each. A di tiict agent is in charge of the local agencies in each of the ten Farm Buoau districts of the state. Our district men are as follows: M. S.
