ventiIation Of the Henhouse

One of the common devices is an air
shaft extending from Il short distance
above the floor up through the highest
point in the roof. intended to draw out
and carry away the poisonous gases
which are expected TO sink to the floor
for that purpose, says ii. A. Nouree in
Reliable Poultry Journal To be no
ticeably resultful this method calls for
some means of introducing fresh air
near the roof of the house. No more
air will be removed by the shaft than
is replaced from outside the building.
and if its action depends upon the
amount of air that backs down the
ventilator. which is usually the only
opening. this method had best be sue
ceeded by the cracks, knot holes and
broken boards characteristic of the
poultry houses of our forefathers. If.
however. a reasonable supply of good
air is admitted through an opening
near the top OF the south wall, prefer
ably through a cloth diaphram. the
dead air and the poisonous gases, which
are heavier. sink TO the floor, where
they can be taken up by the ventilator
and carried outside
This method of changing the air is q
fairly good one.

There are many farmers in need Of
something convenient to hang a large
kettle on. Many support the kettle on
three stones. which is unsatisfactory,
especially if the heat cracks one stone
and the kettle tips over. The accom-
panying cut is drawn from a photo
graph l took recently on Il neighbor-
ing farm. says correspondent Of
Orange Judd Farmer. and it comes
very near to explaining itself. The
device consists of three moderately
heavy pieces of wood for legs. which

AGAINST THE MONUMENT.
MIR. o. III. Kelley opposes the National
Grange Proposition.

Founder O. H. Kelley has this TO say
relative to the proposed monument to
be erected in Washington TO the found
ers of the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry:
) claim that all those who worked with
me in the early days were building liv-
ing nonument-one that can speak for it,
self, one that cannot be excelled. In our
fifth degree Pomona uses the language of
Daniel Webster in his speech at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of Bunker Hill
monument, as follows If we work upon
marble, it will crumble; if we work upon
brass, time will corrode il; if we rear tenn
pies, they will crunble into dust But if
we work upon immortal minds, il we i'm
bue them with just and true principles
the reverence Of God and the love of our
fellow man. we engrave upon something
that will brighten to all eternity" That
is the kind of monument we now have
The high moral standing Of the member
ship of our Order has no superior in any
fraternity without making any compari
sons, it stands side by side with the
church in all good works. and speaking
for Miss Hall and myself, we ask no bet
ter monument Raise your $25. 600 and
spend every dollar in employing deputies
to go into every state where the Order is
dormant and revive the good work until
every state is again represented in the
national grange and thus enlarge the
monument to which every grange hall
that is dedicated adds an establishment.
That is the kind of monument all can ap-
preciate, and il Is an honor TO the living
as well as to the dead. In true fraternal
spirit treat all alike and show no par
tiality.
We find that there is a growing SEN
tiinent against the proposition. AS one
writer puts it. The founders of our
Order are entitled TO the thanks of
all now living and those who will come
after us, and what they did Will be re-
membered as long as the Order exists,
and if it should die it would be little
satisfaction to It's friends 10 see 6 gi-
gantic slab calling attention to their
work" As Brother Kelley is one of the
founders 10 whom this monument is
to be erected his opinion in the matter
should have weight

ARricuIturaI Notes.

White Wyandottes are a Massachu-
sets favorite as indicated at some of
the leading poultry shows,
New England's water famine in the
early winter reduced the running time
Of mills, made much labor in carrying
water long distances for stock and
caused unfavorable atmospheric con-
ditions for tobacco stripping.
The shrinkage in available Wild lands
of the west is giving more prominence
to the very cheap back hill lands OF
Connecticut as suitable for a renewal
of the sheep industry.
.sThe box is the coming fruit pack
age" said Mr.. Hale at a recent meet
ing OF New York horticulturists.
Isn't it as easy and much less ex-
asperating to prevent milk from freez-
ing than to thaw 1t out?
