Roasting coops should be provided for
growing chicks, although care must be
taken not to allow them TO roost too
early, or the breast bone becomes per-
manently crooked, which is serious
Disagreement. The smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns and Hamburgs. may be al
lowed to roost at from eight to ten weeks
old; the mediums, such as Plymouth

The waste Of coal byexposure 10 the wealth
er has been variously computed and depends
very much upon the nature and quality Of
the coal and the climate To which It Is ex-
posed. Soft coal suffers the greatest amount
Of loss, as 1t crumbles to dust by the action
of the sun, air and rain. its loss in bulk Is
calculated to amount 10 II per cent. per an
mum, and IL deteriorates In quality much
more than hard coal. Hard coal exposed to
the weather loses its bulk TO the extent OF
about per cent per annum. On the whole,
It is much more economical to place coal UNI
der cover, rs while sheltered 1t retains its
quality and suffers little loss. Another seri-
Gus danger Is also thus avoided-spontaneou
combustion, which is attributed to rain fall
ing upon Goals after long drought, causing
the small or sacky portion to sweat and ig-

A DEVICE FOR wINTERING cABBAGl

DEVICE FOR wlNTERING CABBAGE.
When the cabbage is wanted for
market or use during winter a good
plan is shown in the illustration, which
is described by Rural New Yorker as
follows:
A pit eight inches deep and three and
one-half TO four feet wide and Of the
proper length is first dug, and boards or
slabs are placed at the bottom. The
cabbages are cut and well trimmed and
packed in the pit, as shown. Frames of
2x4 inch scantling are made and placed
upright in the pit. For a pit fifteen feet
long three of these are needed. Fence
boards are nailed to these frames, thus
forming a complete crate. This is COW
cred lightly with straw, and then with
about four inches of dirt. The ends are
stuffed with straw, which can be re-
moved whenever cabbage heads are de-
sired
