GETTING CORRECT START.
Not Necessary to Begin with Elab-
crate Equipment in Win Sue
cess with Poultry.

1t is not necessary to build elaborate
houses or to have them furnished with
the latest patented trap nests, roosts,
etc. In point of usefulness, a plain
building. warm, well-ventilated, and
we'll lighted is to be preferred. l pre-
fer to divide the chickens into
f1ocks of %. giving each flock a sepa-
rate yard, and housing all in one long
building, divided into as many rooms
as there are fiocks, by putting in parti-
lions of wire netting with two-foot
board partition at the bottom. An
orchard is an ideal location for the
poultry yard, says the Orange Judd
Farmer, furnishing shade for the fowls
during the hot weather, and
the fruit trees are benefited by the
chickens destroying numerous injuri-
possible and see that they have enough
windows to give abundant light. Con-
struct the nests and roosts so they may
be removed to facilitate cleaning and
do not place the roosts so high that
the fowls are injured in flying down.
A walking board is desirable where
the nests must be high up.
To keep the hens laying 1t is neces-
sary to feed intelligently and see they
get plenty of exercise. A fat hen will
not lay and if the chickens are COM
PEELED to work for their food they will
be kept in proper condition. / feed
all kinds of grain and vegetables avail
able, aiming always to give variety
of food. A mash of grain, cooked vege.
tables and table scraps constitutes the
morning meal; in the evening grain
is fed. Milk is one of the best foods
to produce eggs, and green bone
should be fed two or three times a
week. Grit must be provided at all
times and nothing is better than brok-
en- crockery. The chickens perfer it
to the commercial article, but for a
large flock it's preparation would re-
quire too much work.
Cleanliness is one of the chief req
uisites of success, so the houses,
nests and yards should be cleaned
frequently. the houses whitewashed
and insect powder used freely. Clean
out the droppings every day, oil the
roosts frequently, and provide clean
material for the nests. If this is done
there will be no trouble from lice, but
if filth is allowed to accumulate, the
mites will multiply rapidly and cause
no end of trouble. I change nesting
material every two weeks and when
putting in the new straw sprinkle it
literally with insect powder. A dirt
floor is best for the hen house and
should be raised several inches above
the outside level SO it may be kept
dry.

Putting ON the Lid.

Des Moines, Iowa. Sunday theaters
and Sunday baseball evidently are
doomed in Iowa. The senate of Iowa
passed the Garst bill by vote of 30 to
to prohibiting the amusements men
toned, and all concert and athletic
amusements to which an admission is
charged. As the senate is regarded as
the most liberal branch of the assem-
bly,. it is believed that the bill is sure
to promptly pass the house. Within
two hours after the bill had passed the
senate protests were coming by tele-
graph from all of the larger cities.
