The supremacy of the fox TERROR is

POULTRY HOUSE PLAN.

Building Calculated to Accommodate
from Eighty to One Hundred Fowls.
Several readers have asked for plan
for good hen-house that will accommo-
date from IS to 100 fowls, the same to
keep the hens warm during severe
winter weather, and enable the builder
to keep several varieties or small lots of
20 to 25 in one room of it. Nothing said
about cost.
We always presume that those con-
templating going into the chicken bust
ness are not seeking merely place to
spend ready cash, but for the purpose of
making pay out of the employment.
We always endeayor 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 in small f1ocks do best, and in max
ing up 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 at least 20 to 25
hens.
To economic time, labor and expense.
we suggest that this house be framed
from posts set in the ground two and
one-half feet, and seven and one-half
feet above, with two by four studding
spiked on top. running all the way

CHEAP FARM PAINT.
1t Gives Satisfactory Finish on Either
Wood or Stone.

Wood Stone.
A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses, while by no means
new, is vet so little known and so de-
serving of wider application as TO war
rant description. The paint has but
two parts, both cheap materials, being
water lime or hydraulic cement and
skimmilk. The cement is placed in d
bucket, and the skimmilll, 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,
and if too thin the mixture will run on
the building and look streaked. The
proportions cannot be exactly stated.
but gallon of milk requires fullquart
of cement, and sometimes little more.
This is convenient quantity to mix
at time for one person to use. If too
much is prepared. the cement will set
tie and harden before all IS used.
A Hat paint brush about four inches
wide is the best implement to use with
this mixture. Lay it on exactly as with
oil paint. 1t can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and
stone. When dry, the color is light
creamy brown, or what some would
call a yellowish stone color. The skim
milk cement paint, well mixed, with
out adding color has good body. gives
smooth satisfactory finish on either
wood or stone and wears admirably

The Democrat has had its attention called

Williams Pink Pills, and the following
statement, made to reporter OF this paper,
will be read with interest by all similarly
afflicted. Mrs. John Tooley, OF Dwight, in
this county, is the lady benefited by the
medicine named, and she makes the follow
ing statement:

DRAINING PASTURES.
In Manv Cases 1t IAN He Made to Par
Handsomely.

In Manv Cases 1t IAN He Made to Par
Handsomely.
The impression is quite common that
it will not pay to underdrain pasture
land, says Drainage Journal. There
are pasture lands that it will not pay
to drain, but it is also true that in many
instances it will pay to underdrain, in
part, at least, lands used for grazing
purposes. In passing through the
country we see many acres of pasture
land which, if sufficiently underdrained,
would be very valuable. As they are
now they are practically worthless, at
fording only wild and unnutritious
grasses, worth but little for grazing
purposes; in fact, such lands are dis
ease breeders of the live stock which
have the run of them. Pastures which
need underdrainage may be cared for
so as to present good appearance to
the casual observes, but when careful
ly examined are found to grow grasses
of little value. If they have been seed
ed to tame grass there is such mix
ture of water grasses with the tame
that the pasture is poor.
If a landowner is doubtful as to the
benefits of undertaking such land, let
him put in one or more tile drains with
good outlets and observe the result
The wild sour grasses will disappear
and the tame grass sod will thicken and
grow luxuriantly. The live stock are
good judges. In grazing they will
keep the grass near the drains cropped
closely because it is more palatable to
the taste and more nutritious. We are
confident that the value of thousands
of acres of pasture lands could be
greatly enhanced if underdrained
which are, in their present cordition
practically worthless. Those who
have given little attention to tie real
condition of their grazing lands will
be surprised in careful examination OF
their condition. 1t will soon become
apparent to them that where there is
one blade of good. nutritious grass
four or five may be made to grow by a
we'll directed effort in the underdrain.

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.
1t is not essential that the building
shall be over seven feet from floor to
square; less will do. l prefer that a
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
to 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
to 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
1lCSlS III l1iC utii sun DN III III 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 to locate how the
roosts can be put in diagonally, about
three or three and half feet high, and
a slanting 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
a 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 20 annoy them
through the day.
For heating and keeping warm, the
sides lined with wird-proof paper will
add much comfort, and l suggest the
placing of 4 cheap coal stove III the
center room, which will aid materially
in extreme weather in keeping the
temperature up, which will add great
comfort to the fowls and insure their
laying right along without interruption.
