DESIGN FOR POULTRY HOUSE.
Building Which Will Accommo late
 One Hundred and Fifty Fowls.

The size of the building here rep long, divided into six separate apart ments for poultry, with a passage way in the rear of the separate apart ments. This is called a connected apartment house, from the fact that from the hallway in the rear you could enter each apartment. When it is desirable so to do there need not building may be thrown into one large room.
 The advantages gained from the sep arate apartment house are several First of all, hens do better when not to exceed 25 or 30 are permitted to live in each apartment. This building, as represented here, would furnish six rooms large enough for 9 each of fowls the size of Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes. Thirty Leghorns might be kept to good advantage in each apartment. The roosts should all be constructed on the level from a drop ping board. Underneath the drop ping board may be constructed the nests, or the nests may be built against the partition while that di- vides the apartments. It IS always best to raise the nests from the ground, and to have the hens enter them from the rear or behind to lay. This hides the hen and the eggs away from those on the floor, and does not tempt them to fly up and eat the eggs.
 The run or area way in front of the poultry house can be large or small, according to the ground space that you have to devote to the same. The more the better. Fowls always dc the best that have a large space of yard room to roam over.
 The gable may be constructed fash toned after either one of the end ele- vations presented, or, where it is pre-. ferred, the rear wall may be built high enough so as to have a shed roof from rear to front the entire width of the building. In the construction of a poultry house, great stress should be laid on having of dry floors and dry interior. Perfectly dry floors usually

assure dry interior. In selecting the location for a poultry building, always place it on the high ground, where there is an under and surface drain age. If this cannot be, dig out the ground, fill in with broken stone, and make cement floor, at least a foot larger all around than will be the building thereupon. This cement floor will serve the double purpose of assur- ing a dry interior and shutting out vermin. Always cover the cement floor during the winter months with six or eight inches of dry earth, and throw thereupon plenty of dry litter, either straw, leaves, or light material that will do for scratching purposes.
 Where it is thought practicable to make use of what IS known as the fresh-air or muslin curtain front to the windows, it is only necessary to remove part or all of the sash, and substitute frames covered with un- bleached muslin. The use of the mus lin curtain is thought to make the in teriOr more healthful for the poultry.

off my Daisy fastener, and took it to my blacksmith and had two holes drilled in it so I could fasten my de- vice on with half-inch stove-bolts.
 l use half-sheet starters. I first put the half-sheet in the bottom in the regular way, say in 100 sections, then l fasten on the sheetiron piece shown at A; put the section in the same posi- ton it was in at first; press the parts (Of Daisy) together, when the sheet of foundation will be instantly cut off about one-half inch above the bottom of the section. I go over the 100 this way; take off the device, then put the rest of the half-sheet in the top of the section in the regular way. It will work equally well on any size of sheet from one and one-half inch to full sheet.

Packing Fowls.

When fowls are packed in barrels or boxes for shipment, all the animal heat should be out of them. To pack them before that time is to increase the opportunities for the heat to de- velop in the interior of the box or bar rel and the forces of decomposition begin their work. It will be seen that this might easily leac to heavy losses, as it frequently does.

How One Farmer Feeds.

I feed hay and no straw, using my straw for bedding and working it into the manure, says a correspondent of Farm and Homc. I do not buy any grain to feed, d. | II SC what want. My grain ration is wheat and oats, and peas and oats. I have it ground and it makes good feed for all kinds of stock. 1 feed all my stock, except working team, two feeds day. feed turnips first in the morning, then hay; water at night, then feed meal and then hay. I have fed this way for two years and I think my stock do better than with three feeds. I feed what hay the cattle will eat up clean, and four quarts of meal at a feed.
