FRESH AIR POULTRY HOUSE.

dOws out of his poultry houses early In
May and keep them out all summer
and until late in the fall. This was
done, but when fall came Mr.. ToIman,
acting on the theory that if plenty Of
fresh air is good part of the year 1t is
good all the year around, began con-
structing the fresh air poultry houses.
Speaking of the plan Mr.. Tolman says:
'.For the past eight years / have
been engaged in the poultry business.
The first six years of my experience,
must admit, were not an entire sue
cess. There may have been various
causes, but the most important of all
/ attribute to the want of pure, fresh
air in the poultry houses. Having tried
to a small extent the cloth or burlap
front buildings and not obtaining the
desired results, decided upon more
radical change ] made this change
In the fall of 1903 and am pleased to
say we have had two decidedly cold
severe winters, which have given this
system a thorough test, which system
/ consider was not perfected until the
fall of 1904, when / constructed my
fresh air breeding house, which
consider perfect in all its features"
The fresh air poultry house is very
simple one to construct, being a plain
hip rooted building, with a long pitch
of the roof to the front or south. The
roof and closed sides are one inch
boards shingled, making tight roof and
walls. The caves are about four feet
from the ground, and the peak Of the
roof is a little over seven feet The
house is eight feet wide by twelve feet
long and has window In the center of
the west side and a door directly oppo-
site in the east side In summer both
door and window are removed and
placed with wire netting. The south
front is always open, being closed by
one inch wire mesh netting only. TIL
part of the house is wherein it differs
from other fresh air house plans.

The temperature of the milk when
separated ought to be uniform. II
there is variation of 10 or more de-
grees when the milk is run through
the separator at different times the
richness of the cream will vary with
the temperature, says American Cul-
tivator. In some cases, owing to some
delay, the separator may not be started
so soon after milking as in others. The
milk then cools off below the proper
separating temperature, and unless due
allowance is made for this loss Of fat
will occur.
The speed at which the separator is
turned has considerable influence on
the thoroughness of separation and
upon the texture of the cream. If at
any time the work is hurried and more
milk is run through the machine in q
given time than is usual, the quality of
the cream will be changed. The
amount of skim milk or water run
through the machine when the separa-
tor is about finished will influence the
quality Of the cream, depending upon
whether the machine is flushed out
with little or large quantity Of
water or milk. After person becomes
aware of the effect of each of these
things upon the texture of the cream
he can, If he likes, run the separator
each time so that his cream will be
fairly uniform. Sometimes the separa-
tor is started as soon as milking is
commenced. This is all right If mat
tiers are so arranged that the machine
is running at full capacity all the time,
but when the supply runs out and the
machine has to be stopped or to run
empty until further lot Of milk is
brought, then we get cream that is
not uniform in composition.
The chief points in running sepa-
rator so as to obtain uniform results
are to watch the speed at which the
machine is run, the temperature of the
milk and the amount of milk skinned
per hour.

cRossBRED DEVON COW.

know how accurate this statement of
her age is, but her owner, Captain
Smith Neili, Wendorer, Bucks, gives
her age in catalogue as about twenty
three years. She had been In milk All
days and produced at the show 42.5
pounds of milk and two pounds three
fourths ounces churned butter per day.
Some other COW produced more butter,
but through the allowance on account
of time in milk the prize went to this
veteran. Forty-four cows. represents

CROFT HYBRID e1ADIoLUs.

H H. Croft of Canada is the most sue
cessful gladiolus hybridist in the
world. The cut is taken from the
Silver Trophy strain. Country Gentle
man, the source of the statements and
illustration here given, says that in
these hybrids ordinary quality has
been practically eliminated. The
chances of deterioration, the most seri-
Gus obstacle in the way of the extern
sive cultivation of this flower, have by
proper breeding been reduced to the
minimum, and at the same time the
beauty and size of the flowers have
been proportionately increased. Col
ors and combinations of shades hither-
to unknown in this flower have been
secured, relieved by stains, blotches
and delicate markings which defy the
artists skill at reproduction.

The last two or three years have not
been the most favorable for corn in
Vermont, and it is to be hoped the pres
ent one will be better, says 3. R.
Towle in American Cultivator. We
used to raise this crop mostly to cure
and feed dry to stock In winter and
liked it well for the purpose, but for
several years it has been put In the
silo, and this has been found to be
much more satisfactory than the for
mer method We should hardly know
now how to get along without the silo
and do not wish to try. Last spring
the silage was used up by April 1, and
we found a perceptible difference in
its favor when hay had to be fed alone.

CrIIing the Flock.

No business man will keep dead
stock on his hands any. longer than it
viii take to get rid of it, and he will
do that If be has to "cut prices" With
the poultry breeder it may be neces
sary to 'scut" He may have stock
that will yield but little income dur
ing the winter and yet will be about
what the market demands now, and he
can sell to good advantage. A chicken
that can be sold for 80 or 40 cents now
will be no advantage to a farmer later
after he has fed to 10 cents worth
more grain to it. On too many farms
there Is no regular system Of culling.
Such fowls as can be caught easily
are the ones that are sold, and those
that elude the grasp of the owner re
main in the yard. 1t may be that
those remaining should be the yer
ones that ought to have gone.

How sunday Affects the Cows.

detrimental farm once said that be
could tell the Sundays In the calendar
by looking at his milk record, which
showed the daily yield, because the
quantity obtained was Invariably small
er than on a week day. Our men milk
little later on Sunday morning and q
little earlier at night, probably hurry
Ing the operation, and the cows resent
the treatment by giving a somewhat
smaller yield of milk" 1t was OBJ

for kind and gentle treatment of dairy
cattle, that a new hand obtained less
milk from COW than she would yield

At the Vermont dairymen's meeting
Professor Hills stated that the process
of milking might be so conducted IN its
operation that a pound Of milk or
ounce of butter more might be obtain
ed than in the usual method as prac-
ticed. This plan would consist of a
proper manipulation OF the udder and

Poultry Notes.

Plenty of dust baths, plenty Of good
fresh water and plenty Of room are
great things for poultry, old and young,
during the hot weather.
Never overfeed the laying hens. It Is
better to underfeed than to overfeed
the breeding stock Fat poultry are
never productive.
Ii you will care for the hens and feed
the young chicks they Will pay the
grocery bill during the fall and winter.
The mainstays Of success IN growing

Plants That Fill Period often Rare

1t seems to be understood by many
that after the early Towering plants in
the hardy border have passed there is
lack of bloom until the early fail

with them, but / say that there is no
time but there may be an abundance
of bloom in the hardy border from the

do not think it is at all necessary.
Take the months of July and August
and we have such plants as holly
hooks. delphiniums, many of the
phloxes, gaillardias, hemerocallis, dig
tails, some of the asters, campanulas,
coreopsis and rudbeckias. Rudbeckia
purpurea is a noble plant, continuing
to bloom the whole season. Anthems
kelwayi is fine midsummer bIoomer.
Centaurea macrocephala is one of the
best plants in the hardy border at this
season. Chelone lyonii is fine plant,
coming into bloom in August. Lychnis
chalcad0nica has beautiful bright
flowers at this season
Then we have the liliums, such as
auratum, speciosum, superbum and
tigrinum. all indispensable in the hardy
border at this time. Heliopsis pitcher
lana is a plant not to be forgotten.
Echinops strictus, with its steel blue,
thistlelike heads, is good plant for
this season, as well as Eryngium pla-
mum and amethystinum. Spir@a lobata
is one Of the best Of spirRas, coming
into bloom in July or August.
