ira large windows are placed in the
front of this scratching apartment, both
for the purpose of giving plenty OF
light, sunshine and fresh air, and to
make access to these low spaces con-
venient. Any litter, dressing, ETC., that
one wishes to remove, can be raked to
the window from the outside, and so re-
moved. The windows are hinged at
the top, and can be raised from the
windows above, by cords. Inside the
lower windows are stretched gratings
or wire netting. With the window open,
the scratching-room has all the advan-
tages of an open scratching shed, so
highly recommended of late, without
the open scratching sheds disadvan-
tages of becoming filed with drifting
snow and of having no protection in
Geld or raw weather.
Such a plan, at a very slight added
expense, nearly doubles the room in
a poultry-house, enabling the owner
to keep nearly double the number OF
fowls under the same roof that he
could keep without this added room
below.-Country Gentleman.

EARLY Potnto RIirht

The early blight of potatoes does not
cause the tubers to rot. A more or less
rapid drying and curling of the leaves
and stems marks the presence of the
disease. The edges of the leaves are
first visibly affected; the color changes
to yellowish brown, while the Gen.
trail parts of the leaflets gradually be-
come lighter green, or even yellow,
and more Ut less spotted. The early
blight of potatoes may be treated with
partial success by means of the Bor-
deaux mixture. The vines should be
sprayed when about two-thirds grown,
aud the application should be repeated
as often as necessary, the foliage at all
times being well covered with the mix
ture.-Western Plowman.

Valuable Hints About Preserving 1t

We hear much about the desirability
of manure cellars, covered barnyards,
manure sheds and other covered quar-
ters for housing dressing until one is
ready to apply it to the land; but the
fact remains that the average farmer
who is not now blessed with one OF
these means of preserving manure at
its best, does not, in nine cases out of
ten, see his way clear to provide himself
with one of them. The barn that is now
without cellar cannot easily be fitted
out with this desirable adjunct. Build
ing additional roofs to cover stable

scribed I'm Detail.
Where one can build his poultry
house upon a southern slope, the plan
shown in the accompanying illustration
will be found particularly convenient.
The building can be of any length de-
sired-to accommodate one or dozen
focks-the construction is the same in
any case. The north side has posts
shorter than are those upon the south
side, which gives from three to four
feet of space beneath the building prop
er. This is utilized as a scratching
room for the fowls in cold and stormy
weather. A small opening in the floor
on the north side of the main floor
admits to this scratching-room. Ex-
