How We House Our Barred and II uff
Rocks in Winter.

Rocks in Winter
To the Farmers Review: When
we began raising fancy poultry like
many others we made many mistakes
in the construction of our buildings
We arranged the houses to suit the
ground instead of convenience for our
selves and comfort for the fowls. Our
first house faced the west. Was COW
cred with shed roof made of boards.
The floor was O. earth. The rOosts
were made of strips and hung to the
wall with hinges, so as to be raised
up out of the way when cleaning out
the droppings But we soon came to
grief A skunk burrowed under out
failed to get out before we arrived. A
short war followed. s'He paid with
his life for the keen pleasures Of a
moment. The moles worked up the
floor and the hens by wallowing in the
dust made it almost impossible to
clean. The .'oof leaked and the sun
only got into the house during the
afternoon. Our next building was
made with a gable roof. 1t was twelve
feet wide and long enough for three
pens. This house faced the south.
About two-thirds of the roof sloped to
She north, thus giving greater height
to the side hiongh which we wished
the sunshine to enter. In this we
placed a cinder floor. We covered the
roof with shingles. Used common
boards for siding and lined it with
building paper, placing window two
feet square in each pen about foot
from the ground. The fowls did fine
in this house. We were never troubled
with frosted combs and have found it
warm enough for brooder house dur
ing February The great trouble with
this shed was the large space in the
gable and the cinderS on the floor
made it difficult to clean. This season
we have erected a four-pen house fac
ing the south, making it five feet high
on the north side and eight feet on the
south The siding is common stock
boards end the cracks are battoned.
The lining is of heavy felt paper. The
roof is of shingles. We placed four
windows two feet square in the south
side. These are about eighteen inches
from the floor. We also placed an out
side door into each adjoining lot. We
sided up the partitions solid for two
feet and finished out with lath. A door
hung on spring hinges was placed be-
tween each pen. The feature of this
house was the cement floor. The
roosts were small tressels placed over
dropping boards, making it easy to
clean out and the litter is kept off of
the floor, We think this house is a
dandy.-A. A. Anderson, Macon Coun
ty, Illinois, in Farmers Review.

GOLF FOR OLD MEN.
some Englixh Ideas on the Game Thax
Has Become SO Pop
uIar.

The sneer that golf is game only
for those not agile and yenturesome
enough for games of greater danger
has long ago faded from golf criti-
cism, and now it has actually come
to pass that golf is arraigned as a
game dangerous for men who may
be described as "aged," says the Lon
don Globe. 1t is said that if man
all through his life has followed
sedentary habits, allowing his
muscles to become weak and fabby,
particularly those muscles in the re-
gion of the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe strain for
his system. But in the pages of a
golf journal this view is partially
criticised by one who did not begin
the game till he was very near the
neighborhood of 60. He declares that
it is matter of beginning gently
and he tells us that in his own case
he does not find two rounds day
particularly exhausting. At the
same time he confesses that he has
always been an enthusiast. for out
door exercise, and is inclined to
think that for man who has never
taken physical exercise-rather
rare experience-it may be little
exhausting to begin with. 1t is all
matter of not overriding it at first,
but, unfortunately, so attractive is
the game that the Oldest beginners
are tempted to go in for it rather
more vigoro ,sly than is wise. The
result of all this latest pother seems
to be that like everything else in life
it is wisdom at the outset to Ego
Slow" and this is verdict that
aged beginners" should lay to
heart.

An unfortunate episode a few days

PANAMA CANAL
QUESTION DISTRACTS
The Colombian Concress-LittIe
Prospect of Satisfactory
Termination.

Washington, Sept. ia cable
gram dated the 18th was received to-
day from Minister Beaupre at Bo-
gotta. There was no change in The
situation. The discussion of the
canal question is apparently in a
hopeless state and it is probable that
the Colombian congress may not ad-
journ before October 20.
Robert Farnum. representing the
Panama Canal company, called at the
state department this morning short
time after Beaupre's message was re-
ceivend This taken in connection
with Minister Herran's visit last eve
ming leads to the belief that an ef-
fort is being made without if not
within the state department to bring
the canal affair to a successful terml-
nation despite the adverse action or
the Colombian congress. 1t is known
that Herran has received important
dispatches from his government,
which have been communicated to the
state department, but the utmost
secrecy prevails. 1t is understood
that the demands from the Panama
company by Colombia have fallen
from s1O,OOO.OOO to 100000, which
it is possible the Panama company
would accept. This would mean the
ratification of the treaty before next
Tuesday. the date when it expires by
limitation. So far the company off1-
cials say, however that they won't
permit what they declare to be plain
