Fattening Coop.

whitewashcd and kerosened to kill
the lice and mites. Poultry will not
fat we'll when molested with these
pests. Keep them quiet and feed all
they will eat three times a day of soft
feed mixed up with skim milk or but
ter-milk.
A very good fattening ration con-
sists Of 100 lbs corn meal, 100 lbs
wheat, middlings and 40 lbs animal
meal. Green cut bone can be used in
place Of the animal meal and gives
even better results. Two parts corn
meal, two parts ground buckwheat
and one part sifted ground oats or
barley mixed up with equal weight of
milk is an even better ration and
makes growth at a very low cost. Give
water three times a day and remove
the drinking vessels within half an
hour. Chickens should not be fed for
more than three or four weeks, during
which time they will gain from two to
four lbs in weight and will be so i'm
proved in quality that they will bring
several cents more per pound than
half fat poultry
If extra fine poultry is wanted best
results can be obtained by crate fat
tening, says Prairie Farmer. Lath
crates, open on top, b>t1om and sides
as shown in the cut are used. Each
coop is made about 2 #. square and
16 to 20 in. high. Four chickens can
be placed in each crate A V-shaped
trough is placed in front in which to put
the food which may be the same as that
used for coop fattening. AS the fowls
cannot move about very much they
have nothing to do but eat and grow.

Outside Shelter FOR Bees.

between each hive fat on the trestles.
The south ends OF the boards are just
: zen with the front ends Of the hives,
and the north end extends out one
foot further north than the hives do
Then I drove some stakes in a row at
the north end of these boards. These
stakes can be six or eight feet apart
I nailed a broad plank to the south
side of these stakes. The lower edge
of this plank was just one inch high
er than the boards that l laid on the
trestle. This plank serves for back
wall to hold the straw.
Now remember that there is about
one foot of space between this plank
and the back end of the hives, and
that there is an open space between
these boards just back of each hive,
so to make a floor without any holes
big enough to leak straw. I lay
boards back of the hives across the
ends of the boards that are laid be-
tween the hives; the rest of the work
is done just like packing them in a
shed, except, Of course, the roof. The
straw is about one foot deep on top of
the hives. Then I laid large rail on
top of the straw at the front end, and
small rail on the back part of the
straw. I then covered it by laying
long boards across the top of the
straw so the water would run north;
then l put heavy weights on the
boards to hold them to their place.
The roof must have plenty of slope. 1
notice quite number of bee-keepers
have their hives resting on trestles
or scaffolds, and l must say that they
are handy.
When working with your bees, in
stead of setting frames down on the
ground one can set them on the
trestle and lean them up against the
hive; and when winter comes I can
pack my bees in straw without mov-
ing them very much. This way of
wintering is a cheap one, and it has
proven to be safe.

WINTER LAYERS.
You Will Not Have Any If You Neg
lect the Hens.

We cannot expect the hens to lay
during the coming winter il we neg
lect them. They, in the first place,
must be bred to lay. that is, they must
be hens that are recognized winter
layers Then it all depends upon our
selves to produce results. We must
have comfortable houses, with roomy
scratching sheds. We must feed SEN
sibly--just right-and at the right
time, and there will be no shortage
of winter eggs, says Home and Farm
One of the most important things
to consider next to food and feeding
is the: scratching she'd and it's import
ance cannot be considered too seri-
ously.
If you can keep the hens at work
they will remain heartily, and thrifty
hens will lay at any season of the
year.
Make conditions in winter like those
of summer, and you will have but lit
to complain of on account of your
hens.

not feasible they may be shipped
either alive or dressed. A shipping
board as shown in the cut, is very
useful for it helps wonderfully to
make dressed poultry took plump.
This is merely V-shaped trough in
which the fowls are placed after pick
ing and allowed to cool. The legs are
doubled up under them and brick
placed on the back of each which
helps to give them plump blocky
appearance. After cooling, wrap each
bird in sheet of clean white paper
and pack tightly in clean boxes.

When to Go Home.

From the Blutfton, Ind, Banner:
"When tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home " hen you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others you have reformed, go
home and let your family get acquaint-
ed with the fact. When you want to
show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal GO home and
practice on your wife and children first.
When you want to shine with extra
brilliancy go home and light up the
whole household" To which we would
add, when you have bad cold go home
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and quick cnre is certain. For sale

In choosing the incubator you will
use, do not be altogether, or mostly,
governed by prices. Get what seems
to you to be the best, and pay what
ever price is necessary to get it. Do
not let any one talk you into any other
course, says the indianapolis News.
Of all the necessary equipment for
in Importance, and much of your sue
cess will depend upon the intelligent
selection of a Matching machine.
When the machine arrives, uncrate
it carefully. Put together the different
parts according to the directions. If
YOU have bought a good machine the
printed instructions for setting up and
starting will be ample. There are a.
few common sense points, however,
which will serve to save time and
labor.
Put the incubator in a cellar or
room where there is pretty even
temperature and good ventilation.
Even the best machines will do better
work in such place than when sub
jected to sudden and severe changes.
The eggs, also will suffer less from
abrupt and frequent variations while
turning. Keep the lamp wicks clean
and trim as often as necessary to do
this. Trimming every Gay is unnec-
essary. With good oil, every third
