the door open rain and snow would
blow in. a board floor we find most
satisfactory as it is easier cleaned
and keeps out all animals.
We find that lean-to shed at. one
end of the door of the coop facing
the south will furnish a warm, sunny
place for the fowls to scratch and ex-
ercise in on the coolest days of win
ter. In this shed we keep sand
gravel and straw. In this straw we
throw grain in order to keep the
chickens active.
Our scratching shed is made OF
poles and old straw or hay. In the
winter we set posts, and put up a
frame to hold straw packing and
make a wall of the straw around the
two sides and back of the coop. This
will make the coop warm. Over the
front we tack building paper, as a
window protection, instead of put
ting in straw. l.. Irwin, in Ohio

For "a hours before killing the
birds were kept without food and

left at the head of each bird. They

brown paper, leaving the neck and
head projecting at one end and the
legs at the other. Shipping cases, as

FOR A DOZEN FOWLS.
Handy Coop Designed Along Modern
Lines and Suitable for All Parts
of the Country.

When the farm poultry consists of
only hundred or so fowls, it will
pay to keep breeding pen of some
dozen fowls of the best stock from
which to get eggs for Matching. A
fine lot of chickens can thus be Sc
cured. Where this is done it will be
necessary to keep the breeding fowls
from the rest of the fock. Our coop
is 6S5 feet, 51a feet high in front, and
Az behind.
In the front side is door two feet
wide, and window. This window is
hinged at the top to provide for ven.
tilation in summer. 4 screen placed
over the window opening on the in.
side Will prevent the fowls from
breaking the glass and will keep out
night providers when the window is
raised. There is an opening a foot
wide extending across the back of the
coop. This opening is closed by one
foot board hinged at the top. This
opening, too, is covered with screen
wire. Beneath the window or beside
the large door we have a small open.

But Uncle Sans hilarious mood did
not last long. He took glance over
his shoulder four years later and was
surprised to find a tidy little sum
of debt fastened to his back.

FATTENING POULTRY.
An Account of the Scientific Methods
Practiced at the New stations
in Canada.

At the new chicken fattening sta
tions ~ Canada the methods practiced
are those by which the best grade of
poultry is prepared for the English
market, the object being to fit Can
adian poultry to bring highest prices
when exported. The chickens are
bought from farmers at the weight
of three to az pounds live weight,
choosing the breeds likely to fatten
well, and with white or light yellow
legs, paying for these SO cents per
pair on the average.
The chickens were put in small
open lattice coops and fed on ground
grain, chiefly oats mixed with

BuiIding Up HI. Ru.ine...

We recently saw the statement that
one big buyer of poultry in the west
follows the practice of sorting out the
thoroughbred males among his pur.
chased lots and selling them back to
the farmers at cost price TO improve
the focks. The course is a wise one
The trader knows there Is more money
in dealing in good stock than in poor
and takes the opportunity TO insure
himself good quality of stock in the
future. He evidently expects to re-
main in the business for a number OF
years and to reap the fruit of his work
In fact, there is no kind OF live stock
that responds quicker to good breeding
than poultry. A good full-blooded
male will give a flock OF laying half
breeds in eight months Improvement
and it is so easy that there is no reason
why 1t should not be generaI.-Farm-
ers' Review.

Prepare for Cold weather.

Do not wait till right-down cold
weather before grain rations are in
creased. Begin earlier to get fowls
ready for resisting old Boreas. Now
is the time to take six inches off the
soil where henhouses have earthen bot
toms. Replace with clean, dry sand
A filthy floor is hard on fowls when
cold weather confines them TO their
house, and this removal of old top no
only cleanses but its stirring up dries
out the earth. Get the winters sup
ply of dry dust barreled and in a safe
place. If you depend on home. gravel
get that dug and also barreled. Gold.

GOOD HONEY PLANTS.
A. III. Dun Considers BOI<hara Clover
Excellent for Bees, for Feed
and for Seed.

You can greatly improve your honey
flow in your locality by putting out
honey plants, those that also are use
full or ornamental, besides the honey
they produce. Perhaps the best honey
bearing plants and trees are those that
are good for other purposes as well.
The most abused and misrepresented,
and the best honey-plant that grows,
is bokhara clover. What ] know
about bokhara clover is from my own
experience, having thoroughly test
ed its usefulness not only for honey,
but for food and seed. Bokhara is
an immense seeder, and will produce
ten bushels of seed per acre under or
binary conditions. This seed has a
ready market at Wholesale seed houses
at from six to ten cents per pound,
and usually is retailed to growers at
from Is to 20 cents per pound. That
bollhara is a good feed for stock /
can testify, having used it myself
This clover, like alfalfa, stock do not
naturally take to, as they do to some
grasses, especially such grasses as
grow in the middle and eastern states
where timothy, blue grass and red
clover abound. Stock there will usu-
ally go around it just as they will
alfalfa, if alfalfa grew there as il
does here. This being true, and from
the fact that bokhara spreads and
grows spontaneously on road sides
has given the impression to some PEG,
pie that it is only worthless weed
and for the want Of proper investiga.
ton and thorough testing it is thus
misrepresented.
If 1 were planting trees for both
honey and other uses. would plant
linden or "basswOod," as it usually is
called, and also catalpa. The linden
is very valuable for its white. fine
grained wood. and. as shade tree
scarcely has an equal. The catalpH
is noted for its everlasting posts, ans
in this regard it is said to have nc
equal. 1t also is a beautiful shade
tree and both the foliage and the bios.
SONS are very ornamental. - A. II

easy over it.

more'n half o. that last big load off

Not until 1866 did Uncle Sam have

Bees Feed ON GoIden-Roa

Among the fall plants which produce
good honey are the numerous varieties
of golden-rod. Honey made from these
flowers has a beautiful golden color
similar to the color of the plant. It is
as pretty honey as one will find. The
flavor Is excellent also. You some
times find honey that is tasteless an6
more like strip than anything else
Some people call it artificial, but it i:
made in the way that all honey is. The
difference is that the bees are fed or

dollars of it paid.
Who'd a thought it possible?" he
asked. "Nothin' but a harmonious,

Eight years later came another war

up his Indebtedness.
