quired in the poultry house in winter
than in summer because during the
warm season the fowls can 60 outside.

ing. but in winter they need room for
ground. It is the space on the floor
that is required and not on the roost,
for when q hen fixes herself on the
roost she will be quiet until morning:
But during the day she should be kept
busy. Ten fowls in a poultry house
ten feet .auare (making 100 square feet
are SUFFICIENT, but most persons endeav-
or to double and even treble that num-
Der, and the consequence is that they
feed too many fowls in proportion to
the number Of hens they keep. CThe
Farmers Review doubts the correctness
of the statement, and believes that far
less room is reQuired.)
Frozen Food.-An food that has been
moistened will freeze and become use
less when the weather is cold. When
the food is placed in the trough 1t
should be rather too little than too
much, and should be given warm. As
soon as the hens have eaten. all the
food left over should be removed and
the trough cleaned. II they have not
had enough little wheat or corn may
be scattered in litter for them to

Folly Of Buying Abroad.

conclusion that few things can be pur-
chased abroad at lower rates than are

certain class of goods and put up their
prices. and Americans rush in and buy

F1uctuation in Value Of Hoss.-The
values of no other kind of stock seem

The Consumers league is an organ
iza;iOn Of New York ladies interested
in the welfare of working women and
girls. They have published white
list OF retail houses. and in connection
with it offer much valuable advice to
shoppers and salespeOple. The league
aims at the ameliora:ion Of the condi-
ton OF working women and appeals to

rude in their treatment Of the public
that ladies have given that reason for

pers are always irritated and often ex-
asperated by the impertinence OF the
ordinary run of these attendants. The
question of manners and consideration
is OF far more Importance To the sales
woman than to customers. The GUS
toners are not obliged TO submit to
bad manners: they can go elsewhere.
The bad manners Of statesmen. and
particularly of saleswomen. are ono
Of the misfOrtunes Of modern life.
This criticism is not so true OF the
men as of the women. The fault OF the
men when they try to be polite. espe-
cially with ladies. is coarse familiarity.
The fault of the women is rudeness and
