Poultry House Floors.

Recently you asked for opin-
ions on floors for poultry houses
and l will briefly state mine:
The first thing to be considered
in the construction of a poultry house
is to select an elevated spot so that NO
matter If the floor is boards or earth,
it will be dry at all times. Damp
houses are the direct cause of colds and
roup and unhealthy fowls. In con-
structing poultry house, would ad-
wise the outside boards to be let down
into the earth fifteen inches, and then
the earth filed in again. This will
keep out rats and skuuks, ETC., besides
making the house warmer. l would
have my roosts on the north side
of the house and would have q
floor made of boards extend near
ly two thirds across the width of the
building and the entire length Of
the same. This would leave the re-
naming one third of the available
space right in front of the windows on
the south side of the coop, which is
just the place the birds like for a sun
and dust bath. would put into this
space fine sand, sifted coal or wood
ashes, and liberal supply of Death to
Lice, and the fowls in rolling in this
dust bath thus effectually cleanse them
selves of all vermin. 1t also makes q
good scratching pen for raking In
wheat, millet seed, etc., thus affording
plenty of exercise during the winter
confinemnt. 1 would place a drop
ping board two feet above
the board floor on props, thus
keeping the droppings off the
board floor. The roost l would have
six inches above the dropping board,
SO that the droppings can be removed
with hoe, without disturbing the
roosts. Now If six inch board Is
placed across the coop at the south
side of the barn floor, and a lot Of cut
straw, chaff or leaves filed in they will
have fine place to busy themselves in,
and on cold days will resort to this
nice, dry, clean, warm place. just try
it, my farmer friend, and you will feel
more than repaid by the sight it will
afford you to see your poultry comfort
ably housed, to say nothing of the in
crease in the egg supply. In placing
the windows use 10x12 sash-eight
lights to the window; use the entire
window and have them come down
near the floor so as to give plenty Of
light and sun, in which fowls delight,
and don't be surprised If the dust is
nearly sitting on bright days, for as
sure you they will make it fly, and this
same dust, which fills every nook and
crevice of the building, will also make
the lice fy.-M. f. Stellwagen in

Creamery Management.

At the last meeting of the Iowa
Dairy association, Mr.. w. +. Smith
of New Hampton read paper on
the creamery manager and patron.
The most important points were those
brought out in the discussion as fol-
lows:
Q-How do you handle your milk
cans to keep them sweet and clean?
A.-After the cans are brought home
from the factory they should be rinsed
out at once, and not allowed to
stand. They should be rinsed out
first with cold water, then scalded and
then washed again in cold water.
Q.-Would you mix your mornings
and nights milk?
A.-No, sir; not unless lived near
the creamery.
Q.-What is the difference, whether
the milk is mixed before or after reach
ing the creamery?
A.-That is why l said it might be
mixed il one lived near the factory,
for the danger in mixing is that the
milk will sour quicker, but if one lived
near to the creamery the milk would
be delivered and taken care of before
it was injured.
Q.-Do you think it good plan after
the milk is strained to let it fall in
temperature as far as possible, to get
the animal odor out of it?
A.-That is a good plan.
Mr.. Mower-I am a butter maker, a
butter buyer and butter consumer,
all three. / believe that milk should
be delivered to the factory every day.
The fundamental principle of success
full dairying is honesty. The same is
true of every business. In the cream
cry business, dishonest management
makes dishonest patrons. There is
only one way to buy milk, and that is
on the test plan, and the test should
be the Babcock test. That test used
by a man that knows how TO manipu-
late il, is as sure as the most reliable
scales.
Mr.. Gates-When you hire a butter
maker don't put more work on him
than he can do well. We make a mis-
take in putting too much work on
them. There is but one way to deal
with a patron, and that is openly and
without subterfuge. 1t takes moral
courage to deal with patron right. II
takes nerve to tell patron that his
milk is not handled right.

Providing Soil for Hen Houses.

While the weather is good and soil dry
a quantity should be stored somewhere
in or near the hen house to be used as
dust baths for the hens in winter. II
is not necessary that this soil should be
sand. A finely pulverized clay makes
a better dust bath than pure sand
would do, and IL serves q better pur-
pose also in mixing with the hen
manure to prevent it from getting into
clods, and to absorb ammonia ss the
hen manure Is deoomposed.

Nothing in This World

Is so cheap as newspaper, whether it be
measured by the cost Of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are TALKING about
an American metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it, There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real news of
the world-the news you care ytor-euery day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a days
work too 1t is an independent paper and giues
all political news free from the faint Of party
bias. In word-it's a complete, condensed,
clean. honest family newspaper and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the

burned Like Tar.

Omaha, Feb. 5.-Another such a fire
as that which destroyed the Boston store
and threatened the business center of
Omaha Saturday evening was probably
never fought by firemen. At GAS "A
tiny spark was noticed falling In one of
the show windows of the Boston store,
and at $50 the entire building was
ablaze. The building stood at Sixteenth
and Douglass streets, in the very center
of the retail. district. II had three large
show windows on the Sixteenth street
front and five on the Douglass street
side. These were all draped wit. fab
rics of the most intiammable nature. IL.
was hardly a moment from the time the
first spark was noticed until the flames
burst through the windows. The escape
of the inmates from the blazing finder
box was all but miraculous. Inspector
Hartman, of the local underwriters as
sociniion. approximates the loss at $780,
600; other estimates place ii as low as
$4,000, mostly insured.
