ing qualities to their fullest extent.
This can be done by making q
cheap brooder, just large enough for
one brood of chicks. For this pur-
pose q cracker box may be used.
Make a door of the front end and
nail some strips crosswise inside, and
about four inches up from the bot
tom. On these a Slated frame
should be placed extending about
half the length of the box. On the
frame q square tin tank about five
inches high and about as long and
wide as the frame should rest. A
trimmed hole should be made in the
top of the tank and a large cork
used to fit the hole. A cloth cur
tain should hang from the front
edge of the cross strips to the floor
OF the box, as shown in the illustra-
ton.
Then, when the early sitter matches
her first lot of chicks, they should
be taken from her and placed in a
homemade brooder back under the
tank, which should be filled with hot
water. Morning and night the tank
should be refilled, which will supply
sufficient warmth for the chicks hud-
died beneath 1t. They can be fed
in the front part of the box while
small, and later be placed where they
may enjoy a little open runway, and
fed outside the brooder box.
With the chicks thus cared for, the
hen may be reset without any in
jury to her, and her utility thus
doubled. If she be a mature hen
of two years, she may be reset a
second time, making three broods
from her in nine weeks. This is a
good plan to pursue, either with the
ordinary flock or with thorough
bred stock. The chicks thrive in
close quarters in cold weather, and
with us the per cent. of loss among
chicks managed as suggested in the
single b%rooders is very small in
deed.-Orange Judd Farmer.

m. U.efulne.. Of Poultry.

Poultry may be raised with the
greatest economy on large farms
where there is unlimited range, an
exhaustless supply of insects and
worms and abundance of seeds and
grains going to waste which poultry
alone can utilize. Under such cir
cumstances fowls can take care OF
themselves SO well, and are SO ener-
petic in seeking their food that they
are either forgotten and allowed to
sh;ft for themselves when they really
need attention and assistance. II they
~ regarded as a nuisance because
thew sometimes do o little damage:
When fenced away from gardens and
flower beds fowls cause little dam

Within the.pen when completed, astout
water and varmint proof coop is placed
for the hen and her brood. But, it is
necessary to remove the outer or
fight feathers of n wing of the
mother hen, SO that she cannot fly out.
The lathing should also be nailed close
enough together to confine the chick
ems until they are large enough to fly.
BY that time they will be weaned, and
should have the range whichsis neces-
sary to their further development.
But a larger coop, with q roosting
perch, is then necessary for them. The
pen may be utilized IN connection with
a brooder, but it will then require a
light movable shed several feet square,
or a weather-proof brooder, to pro-
tect the chickens from inclement
weather. This plan keeps the young
chicks out of the dew of the early
morn; and gives the keeper control of
the hen all the time she is with the
chickens; and at the same time it pro-
vides a refuge constantly, in case Of
sudden and heavy showers, hawks, or
vermin of any kind. Under this sys-
tenn we find it possible to raise fully
25 per cent. more chickens than we
could in the old grange as you please
ways" and with infinitely greater
pleasure; while the work and worry
is reduced to a minimum. B. Geer,

PEN SYSTEM u D
Under 1t, 1t Is Claimed, Percentage
of Chickens to BE, Raised Can
Be Increased.

In raising chickens, I have found the
"pen SYSTEM" as we call it, the most
satisfactory and successful way of all
in handling the hen and her brood. The
system is as follows: In making the
fencing ordinary p%lasterer's lath is
used. The sides are ten feet long, and
the ends eight feet. The laths are
nailed to a six-foot base board, with a
three-inch top %stringer, which latter
is a foot and a half below the top ends
of the uprights. The sides and one end
are nailed to square surface posts,
which enables us to move the pen every
few days, when desired. One end of
the pen is attached to M post by a
small rope, or wire tie, in order that it
may be swung open in lieu of a gate.

HOW H BEL R

Honey But Also Fertilixes
Plants with Pollen.

oonn Burroughs says that when a
pee brings pollen into the hive he adj

deposited and kicks it off, as one
might his overalls or rubber boots,
making n foot help another. The
money bee ranks among the highest
OF all insects, because of it's thought

which receive this care from the
working bees are called larvae. These
are of three kinds, found in three
different kinds of cells. and they are
called queens, drones and workers.
The best time to study this wonder

This is the plan followed in the
mountains and elsewhere when hunt

to the same place where they were

make wax and honey, but add to
their usefulness by carrying the pol
len for the fertilization of flowers.

Preparing Bones for Poultry.

Fowls always prefer bones that L
broken or cut (not ground) into small
pieces, with meat either raw or
cooked adhering to them. The hens
do not care for the commercial bone,
unless such is free from the odor of
ammonia or decaying matter. Dry
bones, either broken or ground, will
be eaten, but not so readily as those
that are fresh. Fresh bones are not
easily ground in any kind of mill.
They are usually steamed, in order to
render them brittle, or placed in the
oven and burned. OF course. when
subjected to heat they lose more or
less of the heterogeneous matter, such
as meat or gelatin. With a bone
cutter all kinds of bones can be pre-
pared for the fowls.-Farm and Fire
