D the question as to the value Il

says that Their equivalency has been
assumed and made the basis Of the cal

- The study of this subject can

show how provisional are our present
methods of estimating the value Of fod-

the error of considering them final and
conclusive. They are Of great value,

Hen ROOsts.

A writer in an exchange says: Seeing
q farmer near me building hen house.
I took occasion to give him a new idea.
He was putting in his roosts in the old
fashioned way, one being above the
other on an angle of about As degrees.
In this way the fowls are led to attempt
to get upon the highest roost, and, as it
gets full, the weak ones are crowded
of and fall to the ground; they begin
again to climb up, only to repeat the
same performance, until it gets SO dark
they stop climbing, resting content up
on the lower roost, or even upon the
ground under the roosts. In the morn
ing the fowls will not 60 down as they
went up, from one roost to another, but
way, and by falling from the roost to
the ground at night, heavy fowls, espe-
cially when very fat or very full Of
eggs, are often crippled in the legs or
otherwise injured. Many likely hens
have seen completely spoiled in this
way. told him should build all the
roosts all of the same height, and no
more than two and half feet from the
floor, putting about Is inches apart. Be-
fore left had the satisfaction Of see
ing him commence to undo the work
he had done and to build his roosts as
suggested, and of hearing an old
farmer who was present declare his in
tention of taking out his roosts, which
were on the ladder style, and putting in
new ones, level and lower. I think they
will save hens enough before summer

It has been demonstrated that II one

that the former will produce during
the season more than twice the num-
Der Of eggs as the other. and will be
even much finer in appearance. There
are two extremes. You cannot let
your poultry roost in trees in winter.
nor can you shut them up in over
crowded houses, and then expect sue

these routes.
Do not lose time in grading up when
you can buy pure bred fowls as cheaply
as now. Neither is it well to keep tho
hens longer than the second year. Save
enough young pullets that the mothers
may be finished up for market. The
hens kept for the producing of future
stock should be of the best. It is un-
wise to use eggs for Matching unless

should be tested, just as with any other
stock. So long as the poultryman uses
eggs from the general basket for incu-
baton, instead Of from a few OF his
best hens, kept apart from the others.
he will make no Roadway. The progeny
may be better or inferior. 1t will be
matter of guess-work; but II care is
taken it will be but one or two genera
tons until a marked difference for the
better will be noticed.
