Revives Old Discussion.

While the local taxpayer is yipping
about the rates, etc., it suggests to
us what good thing it might be if
the assessed valuation was doubled up
and the rate cut in two. An outside
investor comes along, and in figuring
on property offered him at 5000,
finds its assessed valuation $1,000 and
the rate way up in &C." This pro-
position don't look good to him; while,
if the assessed valuation was $4,000
and the rate half as much, the i'm
preston created would be lot more

Not a Handsome House, but II II

A writer in the American Poultry
Journal gives the following description
of cheap poultry house:
''The building is 10 BY 80 feet. Q feet
front. feet back. 1t stands on slop-
ing piece of ground in the orchard,
where all our poultry buildings are To-
Gated. The floor is made of crushed
stones, coal ashes. clay and sand. We
expect on top OF this to keep a liberal
supply of wheat straw for litter during
the winter months, we have no parti-
tons in this house. as we have other
suitable buildings to use during the
breeding season. The dropping boards
are five feet wide, twenty feet long and
three feet from the floor.
.The roosting poles are made in sec
lions, four poles nine feet long to the
section securely nailed at the end with
two inch strips. These roosts are just
laid on four crosspieces. with notches
cut out of the crosspieces to admit each
pole so as 10 make it solid, yet it can
be lifted and taken clear out of the
building if desired or can be swung to
the rafters when cleaning. We sheath
ed this house before weather boarding
with good grade of two ply roofing
inches Of lap, then on the inside we
covered this lap with a plastering lath
to try to make it wind proof. 1t is a
shed roof sheathed solid with oak
boards, and on this we put the best
three ply roofing we could find. On
top of this we placed strips eighteen
inches apart from the comb down to
the cave. This was to keep the wind
from getting under it and probably
from tearing it off. As soon as the roof
was completed we gave it a painting.
There are four windows or eight sashes
iu this house-four below. ten inches
from the floor, and four above, twenty
inches above the first four.
"Our reason for dividing the win
dows was to admit sunshine on the
dropping boards and floor at the same
time The house is weather boarded
with No grade of oak. which was
purchased at 81 per 100 feet. A strict
account was kept of material pur-
chased for this structure, and when
completed, not counting the labor. as
we did that ourselves, the building
cost just about $50. or 81 per running
foot. We do not submit this as a model
house, but it is good enough for US for
the present nothing handsome about
1t; just warm and comfortable. that is

To Break UP Sitters

The means of preventing hen from
sitting seem like very humble prob
lem to occupy the throbbing brain of
an inventor. but the matter has been
recently attacked by genius of Brit
ish Honduras who is so sure that he
has found the solution of this mighty
matter that he has gone to the trouble
of taking out patent papers in this and
other countries.
The apparatus consists merely of a
loop of wire adapted to fasten to her
leg and encircle the limb in such a
manner that the fowls freedom of foot
is not interfered with in her ordinary
rambles about the barnyard in search
of food. but the moment she tries to To-
cate herself on nest she finds a yawn-
ing chasm between them.
She may hover around and over the
nest, but it refuses to receive her ro-
tund FORM This is because the wire
loop which has been fastened to her
prevents her from bending her leg. as
is necessary to assume the sitting pos
ture. 1t is said that after repeated eff
forts to find a hospitable nest she gives
up her task and forgets her dream of
maternity.

The male is half of the flock James
Dryden of the Utah experiment station
says:
mo poultryman who is in the bust
ness for profit should take the risk of
introducing a male to his breeding pens
without being assured that he, is from
an egg laying strain. Without knowing
anything of the ancestry the male is
just as liable to be from a thirty egg
hen as from $50 egg hen. and such a
male is liable to wreck the enterprise
and raise the cry that there is no mon
ey in poultry, because the poultryman
has been going it blindiy. The expert
ment stations can do a great deal for
the poultry industry along this line. If
every station in the country would keep
several pens of breeding stock and do
nothing else but raise cockerels from
heavy laying hens or 200 egg hens. If
enough come up to that standard. and
sell them with guaranteed pedigrees to
the farmers of the state at reasonable
prices. believe it would add millions
Of dollars to the value of the poultry
products of the country every year."
