empty. During cool weather, when it
can be got sweet, green bone is ground
and fed every day, and it is to the
hen what silage is to the cow. The
work being all under cover makes it
easier to take thorough care of the
flock, and your presence among them
at all times makes them very tame
and easily handled, especially if you
trap-nest as you should.
The house being light, airy and
clean, and none of the work arduous,
gives the women an opportunity to
keep poultry on paying scale, and
conducted in this way poultry keeping
is essentially Woman's business.

DEPARTMENT.
How Many Eggs per Fowl?

Discussing this question, the South
is seldom considered in reckoning the
cost of poultry keeping. In many
cases the losses are so great that it
makes an item that is really the differ
ence between profit and loss.
How many eggs should a fowl lay
to make her profitable? 1 think ON
most of our farms the hen that lays
100 eggs a year pays for herself. 1
believe, however, that we should not
be satisfied with hens that lay less
than 200 eggs a year, for we want to
get reasonable pay for the labor we
put upon them. At the present prices
for eggs 100 eggs will bring at least
81, and they have not cost more than
81. But there is another element that
enters into the cost of eggs, and that
is the number of fowls that are lost
from various causes. It is possible to
lose so many fowls while they are
growing up that this will reduce the
profits of the ones that live Some
men figure out that they are making
profit Of d dollar off their fowls, but
at the end of the year can find no
profit. They cannot understand why,
if their birds are making them a profit
of a dollar each, they should not have
as many dollars in profits as they
have birds. The fact is that they had
a large number of fowls that were fed
from one month to six months and
then died. In some flocks the cholera
appeared, and in others roup was the
devastator; in others skunks and cats
reduced the size of the flock. It is the
vanished cost of supporting these that
reduces the profits on the eggs to
about nothing. The longer take care
of poultry the more 1 realize that sue
cess with fowls consists very largely
in keeping them free from fat, lice
and disease.

Two Thousand Hens in One House.

Almost all poultry books, and writ
ers in the poultry papers, say that not
over 40 or so hens can be successfully
kept in one house. This involves a
large amount of work. The keeping
of 400 hens in that way means the
care of 8 or 10 separate houses, and
a great many steps.
The Rural New Yorker has found
a man who keeps 1000 hens in one
house and has engaged him to describe
his method. We copy his article be-
low, but will add that in our climate
a much cheaper house will answer
just as WELL We must take exception
to his style Of roosts. Being perma-
nent they are always in the way. A
much better plan is to take your scant-
ling or, where they can be had,
peeled pole three or four inches in
diameter and nail short legs to it
making a bench not over II to IL
inches high. This answers the pur-
pose quite as we'll, and san be taken
out doors to burn off vermin if desir-
ed. Or moved to one side when the
house is to he cleaned.
During the past year various ar
ticles purporting to describe a house
for keeping 1000 hens have appeared.
The subject is of much interest to
many, and We have arranged with
DIR. B. Burr of Maryland, ito describe
the house in which such a flock OF
hens is kept

set of seven roOsts on each side,
with a central passage between them
for cleaning and a passage on each
side for egg gathering.
The simplest roost is a piece of 2x2
inch, slightly rounded on the top, Dor
ed on the lower side half way through,
and set on three-eighths-inch iron
rod driven into the floor. If your
floor beams are % inches from centers
this rod will drive into them through
floor; if not, nail a header below floor
in line of irons and bore one inch into
header
In front of each north window in
line of roost is a trap door three feet
long and the width of the space be
tween floor beams. Running in from
the north side of this opening to a
support two feet from the lower dirt
floor in the center of building is the
runway, giving the fowls free passage
up and down. This is best made Of
siding Tapped uphill to catch their
feet, and being caught below by a
notch or side can be slid up at night.
Figuring that hen is entitled to eight
inches of roosting room, you can put
in your building as many hens as
+a ho1 Of
croWding.
The care of two thousand hens thus
housed does not take over four work
ing hours a day, distributed as fol-
lows: At sunrise open trap doors and
in cold weather south windows, if the
day is bright If not, do not open
windows any more than they have

ton of the problem of keeping poultry
on a paying scale. The superstition
that hens kept in focks larger than
20 to 80 would not give as good re-
suits as the smaller focks, giving 10
square feet Of house room and 100
square feet of yard room as the
smallest area compatible with good re-
suits, is absolutely false, being based
entirely upon theory, while the basic
law is that results are governed by the
cubic feet of clean, fresh air available
for each bird. While hens require
warmth only during four months of
the year, and during the other eight
months all the active air they can get,
most poultry houses are constructed
to keep them warm for IL months.
The further disadvantage of a divided
house is that, the conditions of light,
heat and air are not alike in any two
pens. In regard to yards, ''unlimited'
healthy range for one thousand hens
can be had in yard 100 feet square,
provided this yard is kept plOwed and
sown to green feed as often as it be-
comes bare. AS matter of economy
in green feed and labor three or four
yards are attached to each house,
front, back and at either end in a
single 1,O00-hen house, and continual
Of iC tho
growing of which keeps the yards
from becoming ''sick'' The same
sanitary care of the dirt in the house
accomplishes the same ends; viz, the
dirt from the lower scratching floor
is thrown to the upper rOOsting floor,
and raked out gradually with the
manure, thus keeping the lower floor
always sweet and clean. The straw
or other litter used for scratching is
changed every few weeks and spread
on the land for top-dressing.
The house is built long and narrow
to give the most light and air and con-
trollable ventilation. 1T is built in
two stories to economic roof, cost
and labor, and insure dry and airy
sleeping quarters. The lower story
front is partially enclosed with glass
doors in winter to keep out rain, snow
and wind, and the house is faced
trife to the east of southeast to give
the greatest amount of sun in winter
and the least in summer. Take any
unused building, preferably one that
can be placed in a lot and faced as
above. and if your studding is long
enough put in floor, giving head
