A Low-Priced House.

j. H. Nellis, in Fancier's Review,
gives his ideas of a serviceable poul-
try house that can be erected for
$25, and will shelter two flocks OF
twenty to twenty-five each. We con-
dense this description for our read
ers:
The ideal poultry house must cost
little, keep the fowls healthy and
prof table, and save labor 1t must
stand on well drained or naturally
dry soil, and surface waite. must at
all times be kept out. Set cedar or
chestnut posts deeply and cut off six
inches above the ground. On these
put sills 2XS inches. A light frame
is built, the sides covered with boards 5
over which heavy tarred felt Is
fastened by lath. The roof is boards
covered with two-ply prepared roof
ing, and is placed just high enough
to walk under comfortably, and
slopes gently. The entire length is
32x10 feet wide.
First comes an open shed six feet
wide with door in outer wall at front
Next felt-covered board partition
with door ut front, then 10x10 feet
pen, a lath partition with door,
another 10x10 feet pen and another
felt-covered partition and door, a
six-foot shed at the other end of
building with door. The ends of
building, enclosing sheds, need not
be felt-covered. The open ends of
sheds face the south. \ twelve
light 1Ox12 inch sash, with the
netting inside, must occur IN each
pen at south side. Holes iXS inches
are provided to let hens into the
sheds on sunny days. Coarse wire
netting covers the open fronts Of
sheds in winter to keep the heA5 OF
the snow.
A scratching box seven feet long

GOVERNOR PENNoYER.

OrcCon'E Executive Issues an Unusual
Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.
SALEM, Ore, Nov. 3a-G overnor PEN
noyer yesterday issued the following
thanksgiving proclamation: "I do
hereby appoint the fourth Thursday
of the present month as a day of
thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
blessings He has bestowed upon this
commonwealth during the present
year. God has indeed been most BEN
ificent to our state and nation. And
vet unjust and il1-advised congress
sional legislation having made gold
alone full legal tender money has
SO dwarfed and paralyzed business
that the bounties of Providence are
now denied to hundreds of thousands
of people within the national domain
who not only are without employ
ment, but also without means of pro-
curing food, raiment or shelter
While therefore the people of Oregon
return thanks to God for his goodness,
! do most earnestly recommend that
they devoutly implore Him to dispose
the president and congress of the
United States to secure the restOra-
tion of silver as full legal tender in
accordance with the policy of the
fathers of this Repu ublic, whereby our
industries may be revived and honest
toiiers of the land may procure their
daily bread as the reward of their la
bOr"

One should make it a policy ia
gather some clover seed every year,
and then SOW it on the ground the
next season. Most of the seed Is
taken up with the hay, and tho soil
is robbed of t. Now this seed is not
OF muck value to the animais as food,
nor Of much account as q fertilizer
But 1t costs considerable money when
it has to be purchased in the market
There is no robbing the soil, but it
Is rather returning it to the soil. If
one had the clover seed on hand he
would De more apt to SOW some ev-
cry year than if he had to buy it,
and every farmer should plant clover
seed every year.
A heavy crop of clover seed can be
gathered in the fall very easily and
at not much loss to the land, says
the American Cultivator. Cut the
ripe clover with the moving machine
and rake up in windrows Handle it
carefully if very ripe but if little
green let it dry little before it Is
cooked up. Let the hay sweat in the
cocks, and then draw it to the barn.
If it is to be threshed by hand let
the plants get thoroughly dry in the
open air until the grass seems almost
rotten, but if a threshing machine is
handy it can be taken in at once and
put through it. Sometimes it is
necessary to put the clover on a
scaffold where it will dry out easier
than in a bunch,
Glover threshers go from farm to
farm in sections where a great deal
of clover is grown, and they thresh
out the seed for them at so much per
load. But farmers who do not raise
it for market can do the work them
selves. The seed should be threshed
in the winter when the clover is
thoroughly dried. 1t can be threshed
out fairly well on the barn floor with
a fail. OF course all of it will not be
obtained, ard a great deal of it will
be very dirty, but one can get ii good
percentage of it If put through
the thresher, better results will be
obtained.
The average is two to five bushels
to 5he acre. This means that we get
this amount of clover seed from the
second crop, for the first crop is har-
vested in June. The only expense
Of getting the seed is the time and
labor expended upon it. and the
amount of damage that may be done
to the land.
The question is, will it exhaust the
land? 1t will not We take COM
paratively little from the field in the
second crop. 1t is not cut close,
and the roots and main part of the
stems are left in the soil The seeds
themselves are of little value to the
soil. and the amount of plant food
taken away will be converted into
manure again. The hay gathered in
this way is only good for bedding,
and is returned to the land in the
form of excellent manure. 1t is even
a paying work to raise the clover
seed to sell, and buy fertilizers with
the money, but it is much better
work to raise the seed for another
sowing.

WE call the especial attention of
those who favored the boycott upon
North Dakota to the extract from the
speech of Senator Hansbrough of
that state, which appears upon the
first page of this issue. The senator
makes a heroic defense of silver, up
on grounds which should convince
the most skeptical hat free coinage
is the best thing for the country at
large. Read it. The Pioneer Press
in the issue in which the speech is
published makes a weak editorial
effort TO answer the gentleman's ar
gument, but no farmer of ordinary
intelligence will read the speech and
its adverse comment without at once
detecting the fallacy Of the editors
stand. 1t is encouraging when such
men as Hansbrough, whose loyalty
to our cause has been questioned,
take the valiant stand he has taken
in a cause where his interests and
those of his constituents are only
general, and not special, as are those
of the people of Montana.
