When approXimating the cost of hous-

Nearly every henhouse on my farm,
in fact every one that is arranged for
laying stock, has its annexed scratch
ing shed, tight roof, sides and back,
with open front covered by wire net
ting to admit the air. These fronts are
provided with oiled muslin curtains
which can be opened and closed at will
during very cold or stormy weather,
hinged at top or on the end, whichever
may be most convenient for hooking
the frame up out of the way when not
in use.

make close-fitting halter of wool or
binder twine and have enough string
to let the dog go just as far as you want
him TO go and no farther. Make him
stop at your command. BE prompt and
resolute, but never whip or abuse;
chastise, if necessary by pulling the
ears or cutting Il little, but be careful.
Teach him to have confidence in you
