prefers mangelS, as they are less diff
cult to handle and store. A ration
composed of a mixture of the grains
named, with green food and meat,
should be divided about as follows:
Whole and ground grain, SIS per cent;
green food, 80 per cent; animal food,
Is per cent 1t is best to feed meat
every day, giving about four and one
half pounds to each 100 fowls. If you
can secure fresh bones from the
butcher and have bone cutter, this is
probably the best meat supply. If
bones are difficult to secure, feed good
grade of beef scraps.
The number of females to one male
varies with the different breeds. For
the lighter and more active breeds,
such as Leghorns, 20; Plymouth
Rocks, 10 to 20; Brahmas, 10 or II are
safe numbers
In locating a poultry plant it is a
great advantage to have the houses Iii
face the south or southeast. House
room 12x14 is sufficient for Is fowls,
and the yards 24x100 feet are also
about right for this number Your
plan is good if the houses all face the
south. The runs may extend from
the north side if desired. An old or
chard is an ideal place for locating a
poultry plant, and is especially valu-
able as run for growing stock. An
other excellent plan is to have houses
in the middle of the runs, making them
so feet deep on each side of house.
The accompanying plan is a good
one. Houses are .1Ox32 feet, divided
into two pens each 10x16, holding Is
fowls each. Yards, 22x50; two to each
pen; one in front and one in rear of
house The hens can be allowed to oc-
cupy both yards, or may be confined
to one yard while forage crop is
growing in the other. Portable fence
may be moved from one side to the
other, thus saving half the cost of
fence and leaving the ground on one
side of the houses clear for cultiva-
ton. The houses all face the south
This plan may be extended to accom-
modate any number of fowls.

More Yard Room for Hens.

Where fowls are kept yarded they
do not often have the amount of yard
room that should be given them. On
our farms restrictions Of this kind are
not necessary, as land Is worth too
small a price to make it necessary to
lessen the amount the fowls should
have. The small amount allotted to the
poultry is often due to the cost of fenc-
ing. But the larger the yard the less
the cost of fencing. If no top rail Is
used. four feet will be found high
enough for a wire fence, if the yard is
of good size. The smaller the yard the
higher will the fence have to be, as the
smaller the yard the more strenuously
will the fowls try to get out of it.

When the Hens Begin to Nope.

When birds begin to NOPE around,
not caring to eat and their odors are
found to be offensive, there is trouble
that must be attended to at once or
more complicated diseases will set in
and many birds may die. The disease
is indigestion, caused by feeding too
much rich food. AS soon as discov-

How to Locate the Roosts.

The warmest air is near the roof; and
it is safe to add that the most impure air
is there Also Make the roosts low, both
for summer and winter. This will large
ly prevent lameness, as high roosts cause
injuries, and the lower air is purer, more
enjoyable and more plentiful. If venti-
lation could be afforded from below, al
lowing impure air to escape at the top,
it would be of advantage; but as the
wind frequently shifts in its direction, it
may happen that the air will flow in
from the top instead of going out at that
location. Something will be gained by
making the roosts low, and the lower the
better, but not SO low as to induce the
fowls to roost on the nests or something
higher, as each aims to get on the high
est perch.-Farm and Fireside.

THE HEN IN ROMAN EYES,,
Extracts from a Dissertation Written
by an Agricultural Authority
of Olden Times.

The old Roman farm writer, Column
ella, gives the view of the hen and
rooster which prevailed in the Roman
world nearly 1900 years ago. He
says:
1T is not advisable to buy any but
such as are very prolific They should
be OF plumage very red or tawny
with black wings. Let the whole be of
the same color, or a near approach to
1t. But. if Of any other color, let
white fowls be avoided, for they are
tender and less robust; neither is it
easy. to find specimens of them that
are prolific
Let the breeding hens be of
choice color, of robust body square
framed, large and broad breasted,
large headed, with small, erect, bright
red comb and white ears, and of those
thus characterized let the largest be
procured, and not with an equal num-
Der of claws.
Those hens are reckoned of the
purest breed which are five-clawed,
but so placed that no cross-spurs arise
from the legs; for she which has this
male-like appendage is rarely fruitful
and when she does sit breaks eggs
with her sharp claws.
THE cocks should be lustful COL
ored like the hens; with the same
number of claws, but taller; proud OF
carriage; combs erect and blood-red,
eyes brown or black; beak short and
hoofed; ears We large and white;
wattles looking whittier from their
shining, and hanging down like a
hoary beard: the feathers of the neck
or name varying. but preferably from
yellow to golden, and spreading down
over the shoulders; the breast broad
and muscular; the wings brawny.
like arms; the tail lofty, and COM
posed of a double row of arching
feathers, alike on each side; the thighs
ample, and usually thickly clothed
with coarse feathers; legs sturdy, not
long, but armed as it were with dan
gerous spurs.
Even when neither prepared for
fighting, nor for triumph of victory
their temper should be shown to be
highly generous, naughty, active,
watchful and given to crow often
also not easily alarmed; for some
times it will be needful for them to
repel attacks and to protect their con-
jugal flock"
