POULTRY HOUSES.


A@~-@@<s
AS this is the time of the year to be
considering plans for good poultry
house, one that is durable, comfortable
and economical, word along this line,
we think, will not be out of order. We
have in mind a poultry house we saw
last winter. The poultry house in ques-
ton was between the railroad and
dwelling house. We could very clearly
see the dwelling house through the
poultry house by reason of the cracks
and openings in the poultry house be-
ing so prominent. We venture to say
before spring the owner was writing
to some poultry Journal and inquiring
of some neighbor that he knew was
reading poultry paper and had been
successful with poultry in the past as
to what was the cause of his hens not
laying, giving a description Of diseases
that were attacking them.
At another place we saw poultry
house that was good enough for a
dwelling. There was enough extra and
unnecessary expense on it to have built
G1lOtAGl &OOd, (OluAOl LdDAC AO0oC. .COAlC
breeders seem to have the idea that
they must have two or three hundred
dollar house if they have been success
full at some of the shows in securing
first prize and placing value on some
of their birds from $25 to 500. A
twenty-five dollar house will protect a
one hundred dollar bird just as COM
fortably as two hundred dollar house.
On the other hand, some have the
idea that most any old thing will do
them; consequently they never receive
anything in return. 1t would be very
difficult to give definite plan for a
poultry house that would suit all poul-
trymen and circumstances, as advan-
tages and disadvantages Of locations
would necessarily call for variation
of plans. But the houses most gener-
ally used among the average class of
poultrymen is the single and double
colony plan. We have the double colo
ny and single colony, and to say which
is best is utterly impossible. as both
are good.
For the double colony house we make
them 10 by SO feet, with fourteen foot
scratching shed in the center, which
gives us 10 by II foot house on each
end. Roost poles are placed in the
east end, and nests, grit and charcoal
boxes are placed in the west end. We
say east and west end because we al
ways have our houses facing the south.
The studding in rear of building Is
eight feet, and the front studding is
twelve feet This house can be built
for $40, all finished up in good shape.
The single colony plan is just the
same, only cutting off laying room on
west end. The single colony we use
principally for young stock in the fall.
Those houses will be found the cheap
est of any houses built and are dura-
BILE. Fifty hens can be wintered in
them with satisfactory results. We
never place more than fifty hens in
them unless it is for short time; then
we sometimes place 100 hens or more
in them, but for winter quarters fifty
hens are enough. The roost poles in
these houses are placed about thirty
inches above the fioor.-J. G. Clipp In
Poultry Keeper.

ponltrx "stepmothera.v

We used to think that we could raise
young turkeys better when we Matched
them under good old motherly hens
than when we put them under the hen
turkey. Now the Maine Farmer comes
out with the opinion of poultry eX-
pert who says better and larger chick
ems can be raised by letting the turkey
hen hatch them out and care for them.
Perhaps both were right, for we think
the old turkey often gives the young
ones too much travel, and perhaps the
hen does not give the chickens enough
when they are forced to get their living
on an open range. Demonstration and
breeding have reduced the propensity
il not the ability of the hen for travel
and catching insects, especially If she
and her parents were reared in limited
yards, while the turkey IS many gen.
erations nearer the wild conditions and
likes to roam over many acres or, in
fact, will not endure confinement at all
only for a short time while fattening,
and then not in close quarters. 1t thus
may be that chickens with the turkey
would range farther and forage more
than with the hen, thus growing more
rapidly But we still adhere to our old
position, that we can grow chickens
better and faster in yards that are kept
under proper sanitary conditions than
they will grow If allowed to run at
large with either their mother or the
turkey hen.-American Cultivator

Keeping Chickens without water.

Keeping Chickens without Water.
This subject was discussed in Amer
lean journals few years ago. but the
real facts of the case seldom are pre-
sented in a convincing manner No
moment the necessity Of supplying wa
ter or liquid food TO fowls, especially in
warm weather. AS far as we can learn
the advocates of mo water feed their
chickens and fowls soft food which
contains fair percentage of moisture
Consequently their claim that water is
not a necessity must be discounted to
a great extent. The modern system Of
feeding chickens is based on dry mix
ture of the various grains, and such a
diet demands the addition of liquid
food. We have never seen any iii eff
fects of allowing even young chickens
to partake of water or milk, provided
the latter was pure and not offered in
unlimited quantities. How a chicken
fancier can ever delude himself that
pure water is not relished by q chicken,
young or old, is mystery to us. Let
such mortal get up on dry. warm
July morning and watch the robins
and other birds suck in the grateful
moisture on growing vegetation and
also watch how eagerly the flock Of
chickens awaits the coming Of the wa
tering pot. 1t takes but few drops Of
water to satisfy the most skeptical per-
son that the instinct of the feathered
animal demands water. 1t may be true
that some men can get along without
water. but chickens-neyer.-A
Fancier.

American Gardening expresses the
opinion that the color of Hydrangea
hortensis around New York and a few
neighboring cities was this year more
generally blue than had been noticed
for some years previous. The normal
color is a clear. light pink. not by any
means definitely fixed. but seemingly
having a certain degree of intensity in
individual plants By many gardeners
and. indeed. most amateurs the blue
color is regarded as the acme Of per-
lection Blue in a flower always calls
forth admiration 1t is the rarest of
all floral colors and besides it's aesthetic
value serves purpose which renders
it particularly valuable in small gar
dens. The effect of blue. as is well
known. is to increase the apparent dis
lance; thus blue in landscape seems
to add enormously to the depth of the
view; therefore in garden blue gives
the effect of breadth and depth which
is otherwise lacking.

Maintaining Quality.

A pullet that molts out well as a
hen-that is, showing as good quality in
color of plumage as when she was a
pullet-is more valuable as a breeder
than if she shows falling off in quail
ity, and if In her second year as a hen
her good quality is retained her value
is even greater as breeder than the
year before, as she has shown power
of retaining quality that is very de-
sirable element to establish in any
strain. The same is true of a male
bird. Too many birds fall off in quail
ity in their second year. showing lack
of staying quality" and are not as de-
sirable as breeders as birds that retain
their quality to good old age. 1t is
true that birds showing this trait do
not always prove good breeders, but the
tendency is in the right direction and
should be cultivated to as great an ex-
tent as possible.-Poultry Herald.

APPARATUS FOR GRADING.

between them as shown in the illustra-
ton. Then l nailed piece of lath
across the tops of the three cornered
pieces. A piece of clapboard, d, three
feet long, was sharpened nearly to a
point on the thin side and nailed diago-
nally to the side of the eight foot board,
thin edge down, so that the point of the
clapboard would be about twenty inch
es above the center of the lath. If the
lower edge of the board is straight and
placed i'll a level position the line will
hang at right angles with it. Have the
edge of the lath planned. Take sharp
pencil and mark each side of the line
and cut notch ON the lath. To illus
trate the use Of the device, when the
board is level. if two inch block is
put under one end and a notch cut be-
hind the line, the plumb line will indi-
cate the grade and the operator will
get a two inch fall for every eight feet,
eight feet being the length of the
board"

At the dairymen's convention in Kan
sas the discussion brought out certain
points that are of interest The aver
age cost of hundred ton round or
stave silo is about $50. The larger the
capacity the less the cost per ton. En-
silage has been kept five years and was
then perfectly sweet. Fresh ensilage
can be put on the top of old with per-
feet safety. The round hoops are bet
ter than the fiat hoops, as the wood
sometimes rots under fiat hoops. A
sllo built thirteen years ago is still
good. Glover and alfalfa are too val
liable as hay to go into the silo Sor
with corn, but is too acid when used
alone, and it grows well in dry locali-
ties. The use of the silo nearly dou-
bles the capacity of the farm. When
fed ensilage three times a day, the
cows will eat about fifteen pounds
more daily than they will if fed but
twice. At the top of the silo the en-
silage weighs about thirty pounds to
the square foot, but at the bottom of a
silo thirty feet deep it may weigh fifty
five pounds if corn is well matured.
Corn that has dried up during
drought may be put in the silo by put
ting moisture in with it, Frostbitten
corn fodder or slower should always be
wet, and we'll wet, when put in the
silo, as if this is not done the ensilage
will probably be sour.
First American SiIo.
The first American silo was built in
1875 by DR.. Miles, who secured his
ideas from the farmers of France. The
trial was a success, and the subject
was soon thereafter taken up by the
bureau of agriculture and widely dis
seminated. From this comparatively
recent experiment has grown up a sys-
TEN of feeding without which progress
i've dairymen and farmers would feel
entirely at sea.
Important For Silo Men.
The progress and adoption of an i'm
portant principle In agriculture de-
pend very much on the old Bible prov
erb, Lime upon line; precept upon pre-
rept."
We wonder how many of the owners
Of silos who read the Dairyman have
remembered and carried out the plan
we gave few months since of drench-
ing the top of the silage heavily with
water when the filling Is finished.
Those who remember the article will
recall the splendid results which fol-
lowed that practice in our own expert
ence; how that when we came to open
the silo for feeding last November we
found but about an inch and a half of
spoiled silage on top. From there on
to the bottom the silage was in the
most perfect condition, without a sin
gle bad spot. We hope as many as
possible will try the plan this season.
ut should be done as soon as the filling
is finished to secure the most perfect
results. but it will do very well.a week
after.
From ten to fifteen barrels of water
may be applied to silo say, sixteen
feet in iameter.-Hoard's Dairyman

BEEF IN THE EAST.

Big Profits and the Methods That

Nine cents a pound, live weight, for

Cows make us a slave to exact time
twice day every day of the year and
pay but modest sum for the labor.

this section a close watching of beef
markets and of the current trend of
the beefmaking industry. Present
prices for meat products of all kinds

Queer, provided he is fully up to date
In his methods. A pound of live steer
has larger purchasing power than
heretofore This being true, as l be-
lieve it is, the New England farmer is
surely on a beef growing basis under
right methods.
Beef Growing on n Right Basis.
AS there is slight drift toward beef
making again it is of great Importance
that this movement be on right lines.
The spread in prices of beef ranges
from 4 to 8 cents per pound, live
weight. 1t is only the very best grade
of beef that has any ray of hope in it,
and this cannot come from mothers
and fathers of the distinctly dairy type,
with thin crops, narrow twists, fiat
ribs, sloped Pumps and narrow loins.
There is a dairy Shorthorn type that
will serve the double purpose of dairy
and beef products very well, and moth
ing poorer should be drawn upon.
Bushes, weeds and shade will not
make beef. There can be no compro-
mise, and these must go and clear,
close, rich mat of ricn grass must be
the basis of graZing-a mat of grass
good for approximately a steer to the
acre. If this cannot be, then soiling or
grain at pasture is inevitable. In
this advice | have in mind the impera-
tive necessity of early maturity. This
can only come by high feeding and con-
tinuous growth from start to finish.
The Master Beefmaker.

Smokers preferences in the matter of
pipes vary, but there are few men who
have not wanted meerschaum at
some time in their lives. No sooner
does one possess the article, however,
than he wants to have it colored. This
is an operation which calls for great
care. Replying to a readers inquiry,
Popular Science News says: Like a
great many things. the best way is
much the longer way. Use a button in
the bowl, smoke slowly, taking care not
to overhead it, allowing it to cool before
refilling and continue for severa. years.
However, if this is too +ediouA for the
questioner or if he is lot 30 strongly
addicted to the fragrant weed. boiling
in oil will do the business In short or

this done at moderate cost, but boiling

CONCERNING COATS.
How to Wear and Take Care of Your
Winter OvercOat


snow that the overcoat season is on
again." said a prominent tailor to
New York Times reporter recently,
zone sees the utter inability of the
average man to properly wear and care
for his garments. Jackets may be
worn anyhow without much detract-
ing from their owners appearance, but
overcoats, like frock coats, require care
in handling and in wearing. Not one
man in a thousand knows how to put
on his coat correctly. Ignorance and
carelessness in disposing of the garment
when not in use makes the wearers of
even the best coats look like 30 cents
beside the man with a cheaper article,
but who knows how to wear and care
for it.
"Men curse their tailors when after
a few days wear they find their coats
out of shape at the shoulders and hang
ing badly. The art of the tailor has, of
course, a great deal to do with the APP
pearance of coat, but on the customer
himself much more depends.
''Most men when they are being
measured and fitted assume all sorts of
unnatural postures. They forget that
what they really want is garment to
fit their ordinary shape and not the
forced figure which they present to the
tailor.
"Then, again, when the new coat
comes home the owner tugs it on any
way and wears it Tapping open. Every
new coat should be carefully nodded
by the wearer into the shape of his
everyday figure. He should get his
shoulders well into it, and in order to
arrive at that result he should have
assistance ON at least the first six occa-
sions on which he wears the garment.
The coat should be carefully buttoned
downward, not the reverse, as is so
often the case. For at least one hour
on each of the first six days of use the
coat should be kept buttoned.' 1t will
then have adjusted itself to the pecul-
iarities of the figure"
