PRACTICAL POULTRY HOUSE.

another point is that fowls will remain
outside exposed to the storms before
they will seek refuge in dark house.
They love the light and they are par
tial to the open air If they can have a
'windbreak."
With these facts impressed upon the
reader, we give a design (not the best, ="
as there cam be no best), which shows
a westinghouse and scratching she'd.
1t should be, for flock of 10 fowls,
about 10 by 30 feet, the roosting place
being by 10 feet and the shed 8 by
~ feet If made deeper it will be an
advantage. The roosts may be placed
along the rear or at the east side, the
house supposed to be facing the south.
1t should be feet high at the front,
and 9 or feet at the rear, tarred paper
roof. The nests should be under a
platform with the roost over the plat
form.
The advantages of this house are as
follows; While not elaborate, it costs
but little according to locality; the
front of the shed can be inclosed with
wire netting in summer, and used as
a cool roosting place; it is warm in
winter, the shed serving as wind
break for the roosting portion when
the wind is in the west the hens can
work and scratch under the shed in
winter being really in the open air,
and q muslin curtain (Which admits
the Light may be suspended in front
during stormy days. The floor of the
house may be of dirt, boards, or cement,
but the floor of the shed may be of
dirt, covered with cut straw leaves, or
other litter.
1t may be claimed that we allow but
a small flock for such house, but the
way to get eggs is to give plenty of
room. 1t is better to have a few hens
that lay than to have crowded flock
that produces nothing. The design is
of house that is simple, cheap, can be
built by almost anyone, and in some
places can be built for 500, but we give
only the design, as it may be made
larger, extended, or more elaborate, as
preferred-American Gardening,

The Old Tnshlonod snowstorm.

1--WE call this" said the middle.aged
man, as he stood looking out at the
heavily falling snow, IAN old-fash-
toned snowstorm, as though the run
of snowstorms we have nowadays were
small, puny affairs compared with
what we used to have when we were
young. But reckon that when our
children have grown up they will
think and say just the same thing.
The size of snowstorms, and of many
other things for that matter, depends
good deal on the eyes with which
we look at them. IN. Y. Sun.

Successful Egg storage.

An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried in Scotland.
At Leith last June $4,000 Scottish-Irish
and Danish eggs were sealed up in a
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
American, and were opened and ex-
amined four months afterward, and
only small proportion of the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
air is allowed to have free access around
each egg, which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period
ically, so that the yolk of the egg is
constantly embedded in albumen. This
is accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames. which, by the action of lever
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way $4,000 eggs can
be turned over in minute without
any chance of breakage.

No one cam give design of a poultry

the reason that ideas differ regarding

But how much room can one get at
the lowest cost? A poultry house
should have, first Of all, the most room
possible on the floor. it should be yenr
tilated without draughts of air and it
should be warm in winter and cool in
summer. The size depends upon the
number Of fowls in the flock. Bear in
mind that while n house may afford a

yet the main point is to afford plenty
OF room for exercising in winter, and

HIGHLY Unsatisfactory.
The Ordinary Farmer Can Make No
Money Out of Feeding Cattle
for His NelghbOrs.

A correspondent asks us to advise
him what compensation farmer
should have for fattening cattle belong
ing TO another man, says the Home
stead. He wishes to know what would
be Just and fair to both feeder and
owner, the feeder furnishing every
thing in connection with the fatten-
ing of the cattle The question is one
that we could not answer with any rea-
sonable hope of furnishing basis for
such n contract as would be equitable
to both feeder and owner, without see
ing the cattle, and even then it would
depend upon how good guess we were
able to make about what the cattle
would probably do in view of their
condition when they go on feed, their
breeding, the length of time they were
to be fed, the price of feed, and the
other conditions surrounding the UNI
dertakng. If there is any one prop
osition in regard to cattle feeding that
has been more completely established
during the past couple of years than
another, IL Is that there are cattle and
cattle, and that while some will respond
to feed promptly and continuously and
make regular and steady gains in a
satisfactory way, there Is Il large per-
centage Of the cattle going into the
feed lots that will do nothing of the
kind. The usual basis on which such
contracts are made consists of the pay
ment of so much per pound for the gain
that is put on. The cattle are weighed
in to the feeder and weighed back
when delivered back to the owner
What a given lot Of cattle will do in a
given period, however, is a matter that
10 one can positively tell in advance
and even the expert feeder who has
handled cattle all his life can only
form an opinion that will be of any
value, in any given case, after a care
full examination of the lot of cattle il
is proposed to feed Speaking general
ly of contracts Of this kind, however
it may be said that they are particular
~ hard on the feeder as rule, The
owner puts in his cattle at given
weights, and they may be either good
bad or Indifferent; they may be of d
kind that will respond readily to feed
and gain anywhere from two to three
pounds per day, or they may be of a
kind that will make only a pound q
day gain, or less. The cost of making
the gain may be as low as four dollars
a hundred, or it may be twice as much
or even more. All these risks the feeder
takes, and when the owner receives his
cattle back he pays for just what the
feeder has accomplished. In other
words, the man who feeds another''
cattle takes all the risks of the trans
action without receiving as compensa
ton any Of the occasional speculative
gains that cattle feeders now and ther
make, by reason of striking good mar
ket. 1t is not contract that we woulc
advise anyone to make unless he is Sc
poor and so destitute of credit as to b.
unable to raise money TO buy cattle ant
thus entitle himself to all the possible
gains in the transaction, as well as t
take its risks of loss

LIGHT FOR HORSE STALLS.

The nIte on HOG.

There is great danger of blood pois-
oning if a hog bites the flesh, There
is no poison in the hogs teeth as there
is in the fangs of poisonous snake
1t is rather the poison which comes
from the saliva, as the hog is very
indiscriminate feeder and not at all
cleanly. When hog is made angry
the amount of its saliva is greatly in
creased, and the danger is greater
Even slight confusion from hogs
tooth should be promptly washed out
with some antiseptic. Dilute carbolic
acid, one part of the acid &c 1000 OF
water, is good and always reliable
antiseptic. Some SHOULD always be
kept where it can be handily procured
to put on cuts or o'itside injuries re-
ceived on any part of the body. 1t will
greatly hasten their healing.

SIXTY DAYS NOTICE.
State Savings Bank Decides to Avail
Itself of 1t.

The trustees of the State Savings bank
have decided to enforce the sixty day
notice permitted by law from all deposit
tors desiring to withdraw their deposits.
In doing so President Willius issued the
following statement:
The trustees of the State Savings bank.
at their meeting yesterday afternoon, di-
rected their officers to enforce notice of
withdrawal of deposits, as provided by
law. This action was taken, not because
1t was a matter of necessity, but because
the trustees considered that it was for the
best interests of the depositors.
During the past week large amount of
money was drawn from the bank by
depositors who did not need the use of it,
and who, made Withdrawals because of
unwise impulses The run lasted only four
days, and the causes are known to all.
On Monday, the 18th. another bank in
the city failed. AS a result, it appeared to
the trustees that the situation was ripe
for a second run. This, following so close
ly after the first run, might result, if con-
tinued for any length of time, in forcing
trustees to dispose OF valuable securities
which the bank hId-been many months in
accommodating for the benefit of the de-
pOsitors. In case these securities were
disposed of it would, be very difficult for
the trustees to replace them, because they
are of such a character that all persons
seeking investment for money would be
anxious to have them and 10th to part
with them.
For instance, the bank holds among it's
the cities of Chicago, Boston, New York,
st. Paul, Dayton, O., Cleveland, O., Ram
sey county, Dodge county, Mimi. ETC.. all
of which can be turned into money at a
moments notice. j.
The trustees believed that if the de-
positors had a little time to consider the
matter they would not feel like disposing
of securities of this class for the purpose
of meeting the fears of a few nervous
persons. They felt it to be their duty to
give the depositors an opportunity to con-
slider the matter well, and decide whether
the bank should convert its securities into
money at this time, or whether it is wiser
to keep the securities which must produce
the interest which the depositors expect
to receive.
The depositors cannot expect the bank
to keep all it's cash on hand ready to
meet Withdrawals at a moments notice,
and at the same time pay interest. If the
depositors wish for interest, it is best for
the bank to keep its securities.
The trustees are of the opinion that
within few days the depositors can sat
