Farm Poultry Houses.-It is much
better where large numbers
of fowls are to be kept TO build several
houses for them and to make them light
enough so that they can be drawn on a
stone sled from place to place, thus avoid
ing contamination of soil and the disease
which will almost certainly follow if the
same land is used year after year for
hen run. From twenty to thirty hens
are enough for a single house. If more
are kept they will be in each others way,
and it viii be strange if egg eating or
other bad habits do not become contagious
among them. The most important thing
about the location of the poultry houses
is that all the land around them shall be
UNDETERMINED This will enable the plow
or cultivator to be used almost any time
when the ground is unfrozen. Drained
land is much dryer for poultry than the
hillside or knoll which is often recon-
mended for that purpose.

Boiling Cotton Seed Meal.-At the South
it has been found that cotton seed may
be safely used as feed after it has been
boiled. The usual way, however, is TO
press the seed, getting out the oil, it con-
tains and feeding the oil meal. This most
feeders have found hard to digest, eX-
cept by full-grown stock that has unm-
paired digestion. 1t may be worth while
to boil the cottonsseed meal. This VIII
enable the feeder to get rid of much of
the husl1, which is lighter than meal, and
will be brought to the surface to be SKIM
med off. Boiling the meal greatly in
creases its bulk, and if mixed with wheat
bran it can be fed to most kinds of stock
without danger of injuring them.

bullet and was so impacted in the
bone it was impossible to remove it
without cutting away the bone.
