is placed at one end of the brooder and
the chimney fitted up into the end of the
pipe that turns downward, and the heat
from the lamp is drawn through and the
OdOr discharges at the other end, where
the elbow turns upward. Now on top of
the brOOder at one end, a small tank is
placed, which is connected to the large
outside or water pipe by means of a small
piece of hose fitted on to the necessary
tube projections. Water is poured into
the tank and the pipe is soon filled. The
lamp can then be lit, and in short time
the water will heat and warm up the
brooder the entire length.
But there is still very necessary addi-
ton to be made, and that is the "cuddle
place" for the chicks when they are very
young, and at night when they get larg-
err. 10 arrange this frame the length
OF section, and just high enough to
clear the top OF the water pipe, and a
foot wide, should be made and covered
over with any kind of manufacturing
cloth or flannel and fitted into the back
end OF each section, leaving asmall open
ing Tor the chickens to pass under it or
out into the front part of the brooder
next to the wire netting door as they
please.
One more addition: A small tin CAP
should be provided to put over the up
turned elbow of the air pipe at the dis
charge end, so as to closeit up and retain
the heat when desired after the lamp is
put out. BY this simple device the water
may be kept warm in the pipes several
hours after the lamp is turned out. Then
for safety's sake, a box to protect the
lamp should be made, but it should be
open at the bottom so as to admit of a
free circulation of air about the lamp,
otherwise it would not burn good.
Now, friends, here is the plan for a
brooder that we know to be good; and
while it is original it is given free and you
on this plan for your own use as you
please.
In brooder of this kind each section
is large enough for twenty-five chickens,
so ten foot brooder would hold 1875
chickens, in five focks, and all could cas-
lily be kept warm by a single lamp.
Little rooms, two feet wide and as long
as desired, may be constructed at the
back of the brooder for the benefit of the
chickens on bright and pleasant days.
Such a brooder and rooms can be
moved aboutat pleasure, givingthe chick
fresh territory when out in the runs.
There is no danger from cats and rats
Or sudden showers in a brooder of this
kind.-H. B. Geer in Southern Farmer.

A Good Homemade Brooder.

friends, and we know that we have q
great many patrons, among the readers
OF this good paper-persons who are in
terested i'll pure bred poultry, and are
studying the best and most successful
way to care for the same. And now, when
the care of little chickens is the foremost
idea, we want to give what we believe to
be a mighty good way to make a cheap
homemade brooder-one equal to the
best. We made some brooders for our
own use last spring and they did we'll
In the first place we will say that we do
not favor the application OF dry heat, be-
lieving that the milder warmth thrown
out from a body OF heated water the
best and most natural way to warm up
brooder. So we conceived the idea OF
pipe within pipe, something on the
tubular boiler plan, and we had a timer
make us just such double pipe. The
inside one we filled with hot air from a
lamp and the outer pipe with water from
small tank, and we so created the
mllder heat that we prefer.
So much for the brooders we made last
spring. They were too expensive. Now
for the new plan. fyou want to make
good, common sense outdoor brooder
construct it as follows:
Make it any length preferred, from
four to ten feet long. Make it three feet
deep or wide. Have it eighteen inches
high in front and twelve inches at the back.
Make the roof of any convenient mate
rial, so that it is absolutely waterproof,
but be sure to make it detachable, 80 that
it can be taken off when desired, like the
top to a modern beehive. Have thereof
project four to six inches, both front and
back. Put cross division in the broOder
every two feet, thereby making each Sec
ton two by three feet. Make the back
of it Of solid stuff-haIf inch lumber is
heavy enough, excepting a small sliding
door to each section. OF course have a
good bottom to it, elevated al least six
six inches from the ground. The front
should consist Of fly screen wire netting
in the form of a door to each section,
two feet wide. or if preferred, the door
may be smaller. But all the front of the
brooder should be Of netting to admit of
sunshine and air, while the projecting
roof keeps out the rain.
Now, so far, we have nice row ofcOops
two feet wide and three feet deep, with a
good floor, back and roof, small door
of wood at the back and screen door in
front. A nice place for a hen and her
brood in each section; but we want to do
away with the hen and care for the chicks
ourselves. SO we must apply something
artificial to take the place of the hen and
keep the chickens warm.
Little chickens like to huddle under
something snug and warm-sOmethlng
very much like the old hen herself, so we
must get up something OF the kind for
them. Therefore we apply our warm
water pipes. At the back part OF our
brooder we shape our cross divisions so
as to admit a four-inch water pipe to
within six inches of the floor and six
inches out from the back OF the broOder.
Inside of our fOur-inch water pipe is a
two-inch hot air pipe, directly in the CEN
ter. The pipe is so constructed that the

We believe August Flower cures

have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
