should project on all sides at least
two feet to protect the walls from
moisture. Rafters and three-fourths-
inch lumber, covered with dirt or sod,
make the roof. Poles and brush may
be used instead of lumber, but are not
so good.
The most nearly ideal house of this
kind 1 ever have seen is illustrated
herewith. 1t is 14x3S feet, outside
dimensions, and contains two rooms.
The roosting room is 10X1S feet, in
side measure, and contains two Sec
ions of swinging roosts, each 6xS
feet, leaving a passage at each end
and a three-foot passage the whole
length on the south, where the three
windows are located. There is a stove
pipe ventilator in each room, which
can be partially closed in winter. The
roosts are about 2h feet from the
foo and swung on fence wire from
the cross sections at the roof.
Opening from the roosting rooms is
the scratching and nest room, which
is 1OX14 feet, inside measure. In sum-
mer it is used only for nests. These
nests run the entire length of the
on the north and across the ends,
except where the doors interfere.
They are two feet deep-if fowls are
large they could be lower-and filed
up about one foot with cut straw. On
the south are two full-sized windows,
giving plenty of light and sunshine for
winter, and easily blinded in summer,
when so much light is not practicable.
Floors are of dirt, covered with
straw for scratching or swept clean
when summer comes. Fowls will lay
the whole season. They are warm in
winter and cool in summer, and they
seem to like the dirt walls better than
any other kind I know of. For cheap

sod hen house has not an equaI-Mrs.

THE CURSE OF WEEDS.
Hoxious Plant Growth Does More
Than Anything Else to Lessen
the Profits of Farming.

How are weeds to be eradicated?
Know what kinds of weeds infest your
premises. Know their characteristics
and habits of growth. Learn how
they propagate themselves. Study
them from every standpoint. Then
apply the remedy which will suggest
itself. Concerted action among farm
ers determined to rid their farms of
all forms of Objectionable weed life
will attain the ends sought. Individ-
ual activity in this direction is high
ly desirable, but without harmonious
action among all interested it will
require a much longer period. Indi-
vidual effort will beget larger inter-
est and purpose, and the result will
be hat in a short time the entire
country will be inoculated with the
Notwithstanding fever. Then weeds
will go.
The destruction of annual weeds Is
accomplished by preventing them
from producing seed, which involves
produced. Biennials, which propa-
gate by root stalks and seeds, re-
quire more rigid methods of eradi-
cation. They yield only to persistent
cutting off of tops which prevents
seeds from forming and deprives
them of plant food from the air.
Perennials are still more stubborn
than either of the others. Most
weeds are perennials. ANIMALS are
the most easily destroyed. All kinds
of weeds, whether ANIMALS, biennials
or perennials, may be destroyed if
their tops be kept cut off at the sur
face of the ground, no stems being
permitted to develop. This results
in the starvation of the roots, as it
WERE; the laboratory with which they
act in harmony being removed their
own functions are destroyed. Many
kinds of weeds may be smothered
out by sowing the infested land to
grass or other crops which are known
to possess hardness and thick-grow-
ing habits.
Let every farmer consider himself
a committee appointed by his best
interests to eradicate all the weeds
on his own farm. He thus may be-
gin the weed destruction movement
whose outcome Will be the total
elimination of the thousands of va
~rieties of weeds which so seriously
menace agriculture and so materially
lessen it's returns.-Farmers' Voice.
