AdlustabIe Poultry Houses.

Adjustable poultry houses are COM
ing into vogue in many places, but 1t
will be a long time before many of
them are found on our farms. Such a
house is very good thing to have in
village where the resident is a ten
ant and does not wish to build some
thing that will belong to the owner
of the place. The same is true of the
renter on the farm. In some of our
states there is a law that every build
ing erected that is in permanent con-
tact with the soil belongs to the owner
of the soil even though II may have
been constructed by the tenant. But
a house such as we have indicated is
not in contact with the soil, in the
sense in which an ordinary building
is in contact with it, where cellar
is dug or where posts are set into
the earth. The poultry house that can
be taken down and moved about is,
therefore, an advantage to the tenant
farmer.

only want the interest on 1t, and to
Know that my investment is secure.
Put the hens TO work"
My brother came home and told
the rest of us about 1t, and we deter
mined that the hens would have to
pay the interest, which was $120 per
year, 6 per cent on $4,000. Then we
went to studying the matter OF pro-
ductive hens and found that we didn't
know what our hens were doing or
now little they were doing. We de.
termined that we would keep not less
than 200 Leghorn hens and we bought
an incubator to help us get the 200.
IL took us about year to get rid
OF the old mongrel flock and get 200
Leghorns. That was about FIVE years
ago. Since that time we have not
lelt the weight OF the mortgage. The
20o Brown Leghorns turn out enough
eggs every year to pay the interest
and they yield good deal Of revenue
besides. The male birds are shipped
as broilers to New York when few
weeks old. 1t may seem strange to
some that we should use the Brown
Leghorns for broilers, but the market
there seems to think good deal of
that kind Of broiler.
The feed for these hens does not
cost a great deal. First and last the
farm produces great deal of the food
that would go to waste without the
Leghorns, especially at threshing time.
The amount OF green grass consumed
by them is big factor in their sup
port. We have also found that 200
hens are not many hens. AS we see
them walking about the farm we are
almost sure sometimes that half OF
them have died or been stolen. but
when we come to count them all are
found to be there.

farms the flock of hens is too small

A Venerable Goose.

A Kansas man sends the following
interesting goose story to the Kansas
Farmer: Il have a goose that was
hatched out in April, 1852. Eggs were
placed under a ken and three goslings
Matched. When grown they proved to
be two geese and gander. Treated as
pets by the old lady who had them in
charge, they were always very tame,
and she was never quite ready to part
with them, so they were permitted to
live on until their age untitled them
for market. And besides, as the years
went by, we began to venerate them,
and the younger members of the fam
lily politely doffed their hats when in
their presence. Thirteen years ago
the gander died, and five years later
one of the geese. The survivor is yet
hale and hearty, eyesight as good as
ever, and In every way appears just as
nimble and sprightly as her younger
associates"

Soaps as Insecticides.

A communication from the New
York Experiment Station relative to
the quality of soaps for insecticides,
says:
Whale oil, or fish oil, soaps, are
among the best of contact insecticides
IL they are of good quality, since they
are inexpensive, easy to use, safe and
effective. In practice, however, they
have been found to give varying re-
suits, some lots of the solutions made
from such soaps failing to kill many
of the same kind of insects that other
lots OF the same apparent strength
destroyed completely. The continued
occurrence of such failures cast sus-
picion upon the soaps, and examina-
lions at the experiment station, by the
exact methods of the chemist, proved
that they vary to surprising extent.
The best sample contained four times
as much actual soap as the poorest
one, and one sample Of certain brand
was only half as good soap as an
other sample of the same brand from
a different package. So unreliable
were these soaps that the best solu-
ton of the problem appeared to be for
the users to make the soap at home,
If feasible, and very few trials
showed the process of making to be
very simple and inexpensive.
The soap is made by thorough mix
ing of easily obtained materials, With
out heating. To make 40 pounds of
soap, containing 60 per cent actual
soap, requires six pounds of caustic
soda, 22 pounds of fish oil and 1h
gallons of water. The soda is first
dissolved IN the water and the oil then
added gradually, with constant and
vigorous stirring. This soap can be
made at cost of three cents a pound
or less. Used at the rate of one
pound to seven gallons of water, the
solution will destroy plant lice, scales
and other soft-bodied sucking insects
without injury to foliage.

Finished Lumber for coops.

The use of finished lumber for
coops is to be commended. II is q
mistake to use old half rotten boards
for the construction of such coops,
even though they may be used for but
one season, The mites will find the
numerous cracks great harboring
places, and the rats will be able to
gnaw through them II they have occa-
sion to do so. The painting of such
coops is discouraging job. while the
painting of the smooth lumber Is a
pleasant pastime. When properly
painted well-made coops may be kept
for years. They can be made SO that
they can be easily taken to pieces
when the time comes TO put them
away for the winter.

Seeds of Pines and cedars.

1t is not generally supposed seeds
of pines and cedars do any better in
fortified earth than in earth that has
received applications of manure. But
these trees respond to good supply
of plant food as much as do other
plants and trees. Pines and cedars
are, however, slow growers, and in the
forests have the protecting shade Of
other trees till they get a start. 1t is,
therefore, found 20 be best to plant
the seeds of these in beds where they
can be shaded partly during the first
two years, after which they may be
planted out into the timber belt or
