A method OF painting farm buildings

new, is yet so little known and SO de-
serving OF wider application as 10 war

two parts, both cheap materials, being
water lime or hydraulic cement and
skimmillS. The cement is placed in
bucket. and the skimmilk, sweet, Is
gradually added, stirring constantly
until just about the consistency OF
good cream. The stirring must be
thoroughly done TO have an even flow,

proportions cannot be exactly stated.

would side with inch boards up and
down, batten cracks, and make four
gables, running the roof together TO
one point at center Of feed room.
IL is not essential that the building
shall be over seven feet from floor TO
square; less will do. / prefer that
hen-house be rooted with either boards
or shingles, as metal or slate get too
hot for the best welfare OF the fowls.
The lights should be placed in so that
they will point TO south or east and
should be from two and one-half feet
10 three feet wide and five TO six feet
high and well protected with strong
wire netting.
The partitions that separate the four
rooms from the feed room are Intended
90 be made mostly OF wire netting or
lattice work. The nests are arranged
with the entire construction made in
feed room, with loop-hole from each
room leading into the alley that fronts
the nests. which allows the fowls OF
each room to pass secretly into the
nests in the dark and still be in no way
connected with another set OF nests.
The idea of making these nests in the
feed room is so that the eggs can he
taken out without going into the adj
Joining room; also hens setting can be
let into center room, fed. and replaced
in their nests without disturbing any OF
the laying fowls.
The dotted lines are 10 locate how the
roosts can be put In diagonally, about
three or three and half feet high, and
a slnnting floor placed underneath SO
that the droppings will not get onto the
floor, and can be easily gathered by
pushing them with scraper down to
the corner where they will drop into
n portable box prepared for that pur-
pose. This can be done every morning
if absolute cleanliness Is desired. The
reader will observe that this arrange
ment affords the fowls full range on the
floor OF each room without the necessity
of having the droppings TO annoy them
through the day.
For heating and keeping warm, the
sides lined with wind-proof paper will
add much comfort, and / suggest the
placing OF cheap coal stove in the
center room, which will aid materially
in extreme weather in keeping the
temperature up. which will add great
comfort 10 the fowls and insure their
laying right along without interruption,
regardless OF the extreme cold.
The ranges outside can be arranged in
size 10 suit the owner OF the fowls,
either large or small, according 20 the
room he may have TO expand in. BY all
means do not make such Enclosures too
small The entrance door. two and one
half feet wide. opens into a short entry
which opens with door 10 the room on
the right and left and also into the
center room.

keep the hens warm during severe

about cost.
We always presume that those con-

spend ready cash, but for the purpose OF
making pay out of the employment.
We always endeavor to aid such persons
by suggesting economy in the construc-
ton OF buildings TO the degree that will
encompass the possibilities of making
them strong, durable and comfortable.
1t is generally conceded that fowls
kept i'm small flocls do best, and in maxi
ing up a plan for keeping the number
mentioned we have followed up that
idea closely, and present a five-room
house with each room ten feet square,
four OF which are intended TO provide
accommodation for Rt least 20 TO 25
