IouLrRY HOUSE FLOOR.

There is considerable difference OF
opinion concerning the matter oil
aoor for q poultry house. Some con-
tend that the floor should be of wood,
and others that the best floor Is the
natural earth. am firm believer
in the earthen floor. when it is prop
erly made. The land on which the
poultry house stands should be thor.
ougbly drained if it is at ell liable to
become water soaked, no matter what
kind of floor is used; and where there
is no danger from water soaking the
earthen floor has many advantages
over one of wood. The top soil should
be taken out and clay or sand filled in
until the surface is six inches above
the surrounding level, and this should
be firmly packed by beating it-down
with heavy weight.
Such floor is better for the fowls
because more natural for them. When
it becomes foul it can be easily re-
ne we'd by taking off the top of 1t and
putting in more clay or sand. Lice
cannot find refuge in an earthen
floor, as the dust rs fatal to them !;
while, if the floor is of wood, the
cracks make an excellent hiding place
for them.
If the cost were the same would
choose well made earthen floor to
any other that have ever seen. The
houses in one of the most extensive
poultry establishments in the West
are all of them made of solid clay.
Disease is hardly known about that
place, and the foul odors that are go
often present where wooden floors are
used are entirely absent, because the
earth acts as deodorizer and disin-
fectant. Farm and Fireside.

Where Butter, Flour and Cheese Grow

Ready for Use;
The eastern Soudan, which has re-
| Gently been annexed by France to its
East African possessions, is a land OF
strange animals and strange growths.
Its capital is imbuctoo, sometimes
called the Sacred City, and its chief
river the Niger.
An explorer, M. Felix Dubois, has
just made very interesting journey
up the Niger. This mighty river is in
places so filed with huge aquatic
plants that it has the appearance of
being nothing but great field under
cultivation. There is, however, plenty
of water for the native boats, and as
they move through the vegetation they
have the air of sailing on the fields.
The most curious feature of the Niger
countries is the supply of food growing
| ready for use on the trees. The happy
African Of these parts does not even
have to scratch the soil; he merely
picks his food off a tree conveniently
provided by nature.

| is the karite, or butter tree. In appear
ance it somewhat resembles pear
trge. 1t attains, however, much
greater SIZE The branches grow in the
form Of a dome. The fruit from which
the natives extract butter has strong
odor of chocolate.
NJ. Dubois first made the acquaint-
ance Of the tree when he was approach
ing a village. He was greatly sur
prised to notice a strong smell Of choc-
olate, and presumed some European
traveller had arrived In the village be-
fore him. In this he was mistaken,
but he followed the scent and arrived
before a hut in which brownish Inass
was boiling in great earthenware pot.
The natives were boiling karite nuts to
extract butter from them.
These nuts are covered with fruity
Of peach, and is eaten by the natives.
After this is stripped off the nut is left
to dry. 1t then becomes bard, and by
color, smell and taste is almost identi-
cal with cocoa. This Soudanese, who
knows nothing about chocolate, only
uses the nut TO make butter. In the
whole Soudan it is the only form of
grease used for food purposes. 1t is
kept in great blocks, and has the ad,
vantage of never becoming rancid. 1t
is substance which in many respects
is superior to anything known to civili-
Zatinon.
