Manager Rae's Statement

Manager Rae of the ComO-Eureka
said yesterday that there is still suf-
ficient water in the shaft of that niue
to supply the mill batteries, which will
be started in day or two. The de-
stage of water in the Como-Eureka
shaft is not due to it's being slowly
drained through the North Rapidan
tunnel. but through another at a high
er elevation that drained the water
from Anderson springs, and Manager
Rae will sink the shaft 80 feet deep
er. which will bring the bottom below
the level of the floor of the latter
tunnel and will obviate all possibility
cf further shortage in the supply
required to operate the mill batteries.

GETTING THE
BLANKS READY

Auditor Fisher is busily engaged in
preparing the books and blanks which
will be required by the counties on
January 4th. The room occupied by
the garbage department in the capitol
building has been stored with a ton
or two of heavy bound books and an
enormous quantity of blanks, which
will be sent to the various counties
within a week or ten. days.
The Legislature voted an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the purchase of
supplies of this kind for the counties,
and in this one thing there will be no
difficulty because of the lack Of the
funds. Most of the blank books are
ready and the auditor will send them
in plenty of time for the use of the
county officers.

there is no fence to keep them out,
do you think it is just to make us
pay for having them impounded?
Why not allow the farmer the same
privilege? When the farmers want
a stock law they must pay a heavy
tax to fence out all the stock or not
have the stock law.
These things should be looked af

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
This may be a surprise to many,
but we have studied the matter care
fully and have come to the conclu
sion that if the limit of legal in
terest were or 10 per cent. on
amounts not to exceed $500, it would
be best for the farming class. As
rule, the most of our farmers, when
buying on time (and at least 80 out
of every 100 do this nearly every
year, would borrow money and pay
this high rate of interest and save
money. Now we never pay less than
25 per cent. above cash prices, and
often it will run from so to 100 per
cent.
Let us take a few of the ordinary
articles bought by the average farm
er and compare them with cash and
time prices:
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-01-27

Now these will give an average of
the prices paid. IF a farmer would
borrow the money and pay for them
cash down, what a difference it would
make! In our own experience we
have often paid a high rate of in
terest and saved money by the opera
tiOn.
If you want the rate of interest
changed or any other matter attend
ed to, now is the time, while the
Legislature is in session. 1t makes
no difference whether the man you
voted for is elected or not, some one
has been, and that one is your serv-'
ant; so make use of him.
Here are two unfair laws that
ought to be changed. If boy is liv-
ing outside of an incorporated town
when he is at school, he must pay
a road tax of six days in the year,
while his city cousin goes free. This
is very wrong and should be attended
to at once. A boy should not be
taxed before he can vote.
The other law that allows stock
to be impounded that may stray into
a town which has an ordinance for
bidding stock to run at large and
has no fence to keep them out. If
our stock go to such town and

The Poultry House.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
Don't house your fowls at all un-
less you intend to house them prop
erly. A poorly constructed house,
full of draughts and leaks, is worse
than no house at all, and the roost
in the open air, on the fence or
the bare limb of a tree is far prefer
able to such a house, as the fowls
will be much more hardy and
healthy-provided, however, they are
not frozen to death.
Fowls are just as much suscepti-
bic to cold aEaazstle numerous dis
eases resulting from it as human
beings; therefore, in constructing
your poultry house bear this fact
in mind, and see that there are no
draughts or leaks.
In the North and West, where the
winters are very severe, and where
poultry is made a speciality, the con-
struction of a poultry house means
a considerable outlay of money,
thought and labor. Some of these
are spacious structures, covering
considerable ground, with scratch
sheds, glass-runs, and numerous
other contrivances that add to the
comfort and health of the fowl; and
for weeks at the time during severe
weather the birds are not allowed
to leave them. But in our South
land, where the winters are never
severe, except, perhaps, for a few
days at the time, such structures
are not necessary.
A poultry house that would an
swer the purpose of our average
farmer could be constructed on any
farm at a comparatively small cost,
and the expenditure of but little
labor. Build you a shed, say twenty
feet by ten feet wide. Put roof
on it that will not leak; then board
it up close on the north, east and
west side. Build it so the long end
will face the south, and leave this
side open. This shed can be built
of logs, if you like, but be sure there
are no cracks on the three closed
sides, for if there are there will be
draughts, and right here is where
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-01-27

the trouble begins. It is draughts
that cause the numerous diseases so
common among poultry. The south
side being open will give the fowls
plenty of warm sunshine during the
day and fresh air (without draughts)
during the night. The south side
can be Iatticed up, if you like, or
poultry netting may be used. When
the weather is very severe, a cur
tain made of cheese-cloth could be
let down on this side during the
night. During such weather the
fowls should be confined to this
house or shed. Scatter plenty of
straw and chaff within, with an oc-
casional bundle of wheat or oats in
the shock. This will prove beneficial
in more ways than one. The scratch
ing will give the fowls exercise and
keep them in a healthy condition,
while the grain will be converted into
eggs when you most need them.
Now, the only objection / can see
that could be raised to a poultry
house thus constructed is by a class
of farmers that breed Single-comb
Leghorns. They will say that during
severe weather the combs and wattles
of the cocks are liable to be frost
bitten. Very true. This, no doubt,
would happen if the proper precau-
tions are not taken. This can be
prevented with little trouble and no
expense. When such a spell sets in,
or you have reasons to expect severe
weather, grease the combs and wat
ties of the cocks we'll. One greasing
will serve for two or three days, and
cold will not affect them at all. Or
if this is too much trouble and you
have the money and time to spare,
put a close plank partition in your
shed and board up one-half of the
south side, with a glass window in
it. Cut an opening in the partition,
as far from the roost as possible,
so tie fowls may pass to and from
I the closed-up"end, and you have in
deed a model poultry house. During
the day the closed-up end will catch
sufficient heat from the sun to keep
it reasonably warm during the night.
