An OREGON Chicken House.

t All OTcCCN NHICkcn f7OuSes =
AS promised some time ago I will
endeavor. to give the readers of the
Farmers Review an idea of the war
mint proof chicken house constructed
by me. AS we live in the wild and
brushy west, where wildcats, minks,
weasels, skunks and coons are as plen-
tlful as rabbits in Australia, we have
to protect our poultry or we would
have none. This is necessary the
more so as the poultry business is Sec
ond to none in the United States. It is
my belief that tight houses and poor
water are responsible for the great
mortality among fowls every summer
My building is 12x20 feet in size and
I always have from 70 to 100 fowls
and have had during the past ten
years, and in all that time I have not
lost to exceed six grown fowls.
The building stands three feet six
inches above the ground; that is, it is
that distance from the ground to the
floor. The house itself is box-shaped,
built of 1x12 lumber, without battens.
In summer the cracks open one-fourth
inch. These close up in winter. There
is door in the end and a window in
the south side.
The entrance for the chickens is on
the opposite end from the door. The
orifice is made of a tin oil can about
W. inches square and IA inches long.
You can get this at any paint shop.
Cut out the ends and cut a hole in the
! house the size of the can. One end OF
the can should be cut diagonally from
corner to corner, and each piece bent
| back at right angles to the can to nail
to the wall on the inside of house.
Let the entire length of the can pro-
| ject outside. The entrance should be
about three inches above the floor.
On the outside right opposite the
entrance and about four feet away, set!
round post, the top of which should
be two inches lower than the en-
trance. On the post put a one-gal-
Ion milk pan Gan old one will do); put
it upside down and nail fast.
From this lay a board of proper
length and as wide as will go in the
end of the can. Nail board down to
the post on top Of the pan. In front
of entrance and inside building set
board two feet long, IA inches wide,
about 13 inches from entrance. Then
take another board of same size and
lay on top, mailing one edge to the
wall and the other on top of the edge
of the other board. This is to prevent
the wind from blowing in.
Now if the floor of the building is
sufficiently tight not even a rat< can
set in.
Now, Mr. Editor, wish to say that
am no chicken crank. 1t is not only
the chicken house that has made poul-
try raising a success with me, but my
success is also due to the lady that
has prepared the fowls for the table
for me for the past fifty years.-David
Ruble. Lincoln County, Oregon, in
Farmers Review.

From Germany comes a report of

The Hudson Bay and Walla walla
river countries are rivaling the fa-
nous Yakima valley district as a win
ter feeding place. About 1000 beef
cattle are now being winter fed in
the Hudson Bay and Walla Walla
river district.
The opening up OF several irrigated
tracts in that section of the country is
providing hundreds of tons OF alfalfa

men in feeding during the winter, AL
falfa in the stack brings from $3.50
to $5 ton and at this price farmers
make good money, although the first
cutting last spring was away below the
normal, making the average for the
year about equal to last years hay
crop.

number of cattle being fed in the Hud-
son Pay and Walla river district are
as follows:
