as gems . The clusters of crystals,
which are of colunnar form, are ar

A new wheel has been tried on the
Chicago street cars, the particular vir-
tue of which is its noiselessness. The
secret of the absence of noise lies in
a layer of paper which is placed be-
tween the tire and the wheel proper.
A description of the experiment says
that the wheels are quite dead and that
there is no metallic ring from them,
even when rounding curves. People
who got on the car equipped with these
wheels would start talking in the usual
loud tones, but soon the gnwonted 81
Ience would be observed, and the effect
was the same as that noticed when

Houses.

We believe too many poultry houses
are made to suit the convenience Of the
owner rather than that Of the fowls. As
a rule they are made too high and not
warm enough Fowls do not need very
tall house. and the lower they are con-
siStent with looking after them the bet
ter 1t is for them in winter Not enough
tar paper is used in making houses com
Portable. 1t does not matter so much
how they look, but how they are. Are
they warm in winterH Are they roomyY
Are they constructed so they can be
easily ventilated without going to too
much bother in doing it?
Each house should DO built for GER
tain purpose, The house should be built
for the breed, aud it is necessary to know
the number it is to accommodate. Their
roasting quarters should be warm and
not too roomy. If possible this apart
ment can be made double as warm as
the scratching or day apartments. The
roosts should be constructed according
to the wants of the breed kept. Under
them should be a dropping board to
catch the drOppiugs and the fowls can
have the room under the roosts without
having to walk in the excrement. Roosts
should be movable and should be taken
from the house often in summer aud
dosed with Insecticides or
other lice killer.
The day apartment should be higher
(the highest part Of the house) and
should be light and contain materials in
which the fowls may scratch, busting
>place, grit boxes, etc. Here they will
spend the day in cold weather, and il
should be light We consider the south
the best frontage, but would not object
to au east front where it is impossible to
have 3 good south front. Yards as
large rs desirable can be fenced Of
within easy access Of each house. Where
great many fowls are kept it will be
better to have several houses some dis
lance apart than to have one large house
for the whole Of them Better health il
maintained in this manner aud they seem
to do better when they are run in small
Aocks and separate runs. This Is found
to be so even when only one breed is
kept Make the houses warm 10 winter
and there will be little reason for having
them cool 10 summer In summer a
constant warfare will have to be waged
on lice aud mites. Don't be afraid tc
have house smell Of kerosene il the
smell means freedom from lice.-Home-

Profit from Poultry.

Occasionally we are told that the pr, 6ts
from poultry breeding are principally on
paper, and where one makes q success Of
the business many fail. 1t is true that
people who engaged in the business as a
specially make failure q great many
times, but that is never the fault of the
business The average farm flock is badly
managed. In fact, it is not managed at
all. 1t simply drifts along like a log 10
the stream. Yet it 10 pretty safe to say
that there is not flock Of farm poultry
that does not pay.
The majority Of the poultry on the farm
is fed too much grain. LESS grain and
more green stuff and meat should be fed.
Potatoes, onions, beets, carrots or any
thing of vegetable nature is cheaper
and tends to keep the fowls much health
Ter, and that means more eggs and
consequently more profit. 1t never seem
to occur to the average farmer that the
effect of long continued diet of grain is
as injurious to fowls as to cattle, nor that
the concentrated grain food gives the
best result when diluted or mixed with
some bulky succulent material. Green
food and meat are great egg producers
in themselves, and keep the system Of the
hen in healthy condition, no matter
what the breed may be- Every poultry
man knows how much hens appreciate
green food, especially in the winter
Roots and vegetables are easily grown
and they can be kept all winter. When
the fowls are to be confined in houses
and scratching pens the hen should be
made to exercise also. If she is inactive
long enough and fed wholly on grain she
will become fat and certainly cease lay
ing. The successful plan for exercise is to
have cabbage hung up 10 the hen house
just high enough for the hens to jump
up and get a good bite, or have a good
runway and scatter bright wheat straw
over run way and feed your small grain
10 this. This will keep the fowls busy
scratching to obtain the grain.
Again, farmers should take great inter-
est in the breeds. The only way to make
a profit is to use that which converts the
raw material into the most product in the
shortest space Of time In poultry the
pure breeds are capable Of yielding the
greatest number ofeggs and the heaviest
carcasses at the least cost The cross. bred
fowl or the mongrel is an uncertainty.
1t has no fixed quality, and cannot trans
nit uniformity 10 its offspring, and o.
cupies space that can be better filled by
pure breeds. National Stockman.
