Finishing or COOps.

One Of the economics in the poultry
business Is to have coops which may
be used for II desired purpose with
out making it necessary to in any way
subdivide the main poultry house.
Coops for sick fowls, coops for the
ROSTERS, coops for the broody hen and
coops to finish off the birds which are
to go to market later. One Of the best
designs for the latter psrpose can be
built on the sunny side of the barn or
the poultry house proper, thus saving
the expense for lumber. This coop is
three feet In width, and any length de-
sired, but figured so that the lumber
will not cut to waste.
Hake the frame OF rough lumber,
using any odds and ends II may
have around the place; cover roof and
sides and ends with tarred paper. For
ventilation, a six-lnch space is left the
entire length of the house at the lower
end and this is covered with wire net
ting. For further ventilation holes are
bored in one end at the high side near
the top. At the lower part Of the
house under the ventilating space the
boards are arranged so that the n
nearest the ground IS hinged to the
one above it for ease In cleaning the
coop. The door in one end is made

Buying Mixed Feeds.

Why any feeder Of farm stock
should buy mixed grains Is more than
one can understand, unless he is too
lazy to do the mixing himself. Time
was when screenings were just what
was claimed for them, the smaller
grains which dropped through the
sleeves when screening was done for
the first grade Of grains. Now screen
ings are quite likely to be the sweep
ings from the mill floors and contain
anything from nails to tobacco quids.
Any of the grains used for feeding
stock of any kind can be bought with
out mixture and one al tell by exam
ination II they be reasonably pure.
They cost some more than the mixed
feeds, to be sure, but they are cheap
est in the end, for less has to be fed.
OF all the bad mixed feeds the ground
feeds are the worst, for 1t is practical
~ impossible to know what is in the
mixture, that is, for the ordinary OBJ
server to ascertain. In. feeding poul-
try it has been demonstrated time and
again that it pays to pay 25 per cent
more for the grains by themselves
than to feed the mixtures bought in
that form.

Cat Bone and Animal Food.

-Sut lDOuc IA
Just the day the fowls are brought
into the house and confined to he u
Of a small yard they begin to pine for
animal food which they had in abund-
ance on the range. 1t is this lack
that is at the bottom Of the egg falling
off rather han any other cause. as
VIII be discovered, if one will take the
trouble to look into the matter. 1t
must be understood, however, that ami
NAL food does not mean anything in
tile shape of meat one can get. There
are plenty Of meat scrapes on the
market that are good enough for fer
~tilizer, but decidedly not OF value for
feeding poultry. If one can arrange
with the local butcher to supply what
meat IS wanted for the fowls he will
have 10 trouble provided he buys meat
that is not tainted and does not lay in
a supply too large. Green zone an
swers the same purpose to some ex-
tent, but it is hard to grind and must
be ground fresh to be Of value. With
n small! supply Of animal food, green
bone and" green food of some kind one
ought to have a good production OF
eggs throughout the winter, following
any plan of feeding that has a reason.
able amount Of variety.
How Warmth Economics Food.
Temperature has a great effect on
fattening animals. Where farm stock
are kept in cold houses it becomes
necessary to increase the quantity Of
food in order to maintain the warmth
~ AI,@ H11-. r., ~ :, M nc, ,;- f~~1
ers pay little attention to this matter.
and rather than go to the expense of
providing warm stys for the
dation of their animals in winter they
often adopt the ultimately more ex-
pensiye plan Of giving additional food
to keep up he normal heat of the
body.
Poultry Notes.
It is pretty hard to feed the hen
too much if the food is of the right
sort. Improper feeding does more
harm than excessive feeding.
Have you tried the dry feeding sys-
TEN, now practiced by most Of the
well known poultrymen OF the
try?
Eggs are the basis Of the poultry in
dustry. Egg farming is the most prof
liable branch of poultry culture. But
in order to get Eggs we have to keep
hens as q sort of necessary incumber-
ance
Some people keep hens at a profit
of 80 cents or less rer year. Others
get as high a profit as So per hem. 1t
is partly a difference in the hens, but
1t is much more a difference in the
man or woman behind the hen.
Very large size is not desirable in
any variety Of fowls. According to the
new Standard, when "two birds are
equal in other respects, the one nearer
the weight called for will have the
preference, and not the heavier bird,
as formerly. OF course. this rule is
against under size as much as against
over size.

Carins Tor Harness.

II the harness is very soiled and
stiff the best way Of getting it in
prime condition is to take it apart at
every place where it is fastened by a
buckle and soaking it in water which
has been a trifle warmed. Then take
a stin brush, a small scrubbing brush
will answer the purpose, and scrub
each part OF the harness thoroughly.
TEel spread 1t out to dry and IL any
po-..ca is still sticky scrub it again.
To soften and preserve the leather
nothing is better than neats'-foot oil,
which is readily obtained. Apply a
small quantity to the harness and rub
It IN thoroughly. with the hand In
the absence Of this oil use sweet oil.
After thoroughly oiling see that each
buckle moves freely and that none Of
the stitches Is broken at the seaMs.
