Spurs for Poultrymen

Provide plenty OF good hay or
straw for nest material. # not
for litter on the henhouse floor.
Lest it be forgotten, it will! be
repeated that something should
be growing to supply green feed
for poultry in winter.
Poultry are like men, their
blood circulates slowly when
they r asleep and they need
protection then.
Try this winter to give poul.
try all the fresh pure air they
can use. at the same time keep.
log draughts out of their houses.
Look over the poultry cx-
hibi,s at the fairs and poultry
shows, and do not be afraid to
ask questions. Prepare to make
exhibits later, il not this year.
There arc many inquiries for
geese. but no advertisers OF
them. Those who have any TO
spare could certainly make sales.
and the br seIs will be investing
their money wisely.
Filth in the poultry house
eau>cs ,ronble during the cold
part OF the year, though trouble
OF somewhat different nature
from that caused during the
warm period. Filth and thrift,
do not 90 together.
\ considerable part Of a hens
food goes 10 sustain her lie and
health. Very little more food,
with a little care. will get the
coveted eggs IN good numbers
Prepare TO give that care and
extra food. There il where the
profit lies.
Building paper can be used on
the walls Of poultry houses 10
keep draughts out. Even old
newspapers can be tackled on
the walls by placing laths over
the papers. This will not make
a fine looking house, but one
need no, think Of that when
gathering large numbers oil

IIenhOuscS

Much of the success that one
makes with poultry depends on
the kind Of houses used for the
fowls. The first mistake that a
poultrymau usually makes is in
giving too little protection from
wind and rain: and after be is
convinced that a house with such
deficiencies is not profta bic. he
il likely TO 90 to the other ex-
trcmc aud make a house so tight
as TO rob the birds OF fresh pure
air. Work done by the poultry
department OF the Maine TX
pertinent Station can we'll nc
considered in this connection.
Maine has very severe winters.
aud whatever kind OF building
will carry chickens through the
winter we'll there will certainly
give satisfaction south OF the
Ohio River.
\ house that was used very
successfully at the Maine station
has an opening three fee, wide in
the side lust under the roof.
This opening has nothing over
It any day 10 winter. except
when snow or rain is likely 10
blow IN. At nigh, the opening
is covered with curtain on a
wooden frame. The whole
house was open TO the outside
air aud sun every day.
Ey letting the air circulate
freely through the house in this
way dan pncss is KEEP, down very
we'll. and da mpncss is a source
OF much sickness among poul-
try. 1t w reported that MOI, a
case oil co!d or snuiHes dcccl-
oped in the house built as lust
described. The combs OF the
birds continued red and the
plumage was in brigh, healthy
condition, the birds giving every
evidence OF their good condition
and vigor.
In the cold Maine climate il
was thought advisable to have a
sleeping closet for the chickens.
1t vas elevated and ran along
the entire back OF the building.
Its walls were packed with hay.
The front OF this closet was
! closed nights with a curtain

TRENTON. N j.. May 3.-Prosecutor
William J. Crossley announced today
that Mrs. Laura Davenport had been
freed of suspicion in the case of the
sending of poisoned candy to her twelve
year-old daughter. The prosecutor add

on charge of assault and battery, pre-
ferred several months ago by his wife
Prosecutor Crossley states that the
prisoner would, however, in all proba-
bility, be arraigned on an accusation or
attempted murder.
MIR Crossley said he had learned that
the Y,ofsor on the candies was rough

a quantity of this deadly poison; that
he had been in the habit Of buying can
dies for his daughter, Josephine; that
he had been in pressing need or money

days before the box OF poisoned sweets
was mailed; that the father had bought
several postage stamps and had told
conflicting stories as to the use 10 which
he had put them, and that a similarity
existed between his handwriting and
the inscription on the candy box.
Mrs. Davenport made this statement
today:

servative and content with the sociaI

sums uD the change from the old order
Of things as follows;
THE chief feature Of the day in Eng
land IS the social transition. Almost
every unit in the community Is endeav-
oring 70 move upward, and the attempt
is mainly made by improving the ap-
pearances. To dress better. live better.
and occupy better houses that are bet
ter furnished, forces men to work harder
and longer than their predecessors did.
The result Of this Is that the ordinary
man hurries from home after breakfast
and returns there IN time for dinner.
and has only Saturday afternoon and
Sunday with them
What can such a man know Of his
wife and children2 That craze for So
cal Improvement. therefore, brings
about these results. The homes are

ing, the appearances are better, but
the comforts and consultations Of life
are sacrificed; the women are deserted
