Good sized combs generally denote
an egg-laying breed of hens.
Nest boxes should be so constructed
that hens can not roost on them.

in a hundred or so strong, healthy
pullets than from any other farm
stock stock.
To make winter egg production
profitable, attention must be directed
toward providing comfortable condi-
lions for the fowls, says Farm and
Home. 1t is not possible to obtain
anything like encouraging results
from poorly arranged accommodation.
Profitable winter egg production de-
ponds largely upon proper facilities
and attention directed toward sup
plying the fowls with proper food.
A great many carry the impression
that winter egg production involves a
considerable expenditure of money to
construct properly arranged building
and labor to make this industry pro-
fitable. This is erroneous. Any far
mer who will give little attention to
rearing a few strong, healthy pullets
during the previous season and supply
comfortable conditions to the fowls
during the cold winter months can
get winter eggs.
The plans herewith show one of the
poultry houses 1 have had in use for
a number of years. 1t was one of the
first buildings 1 constructed and l
have been so we'll pleased with this de-
sign that l have constructed others on
the same principle. One of the great
features in favor of this plan of a
poultry house is that it affords a large
amount of floor space at reasonable
cost, and at the same time supplies
all the requirements necessary for the
comfort of the fowls.
The building herewith shown is 1Sx
80, with seven-foot posts in front and
three-foot posts in the rear. Before the
construction of the building was be-
gun, foundation was laid by excavat-
ing small trench 1S inches wide and
20 inches deep. This trench was filled
with small cobble stone for the founda-
tion for the building. Upon this foun-
datjon a concrete wall was construct
ed ten inches high and eight inches
wide.
The main frame work was construct
ed of 2x4 material with the exception
of the stills which were of SxS stuff.
For siding, matched pine was used of
excellent quality as it was desirable
to make the building warm as pos
sible. The roofing is shingles laid five
inches to the weather. Two large win
dows we're put in on the south side to
give plenty of sunlight. The inside
of the building was sealed with
matched material with felt paper be-
tween. This building is so well con-
structed that the weather must get
pretty low in order to freeze water
during the night
Fig. 2 shows the ground plan. The
west end is taken up with roosts
which are partitioned off from the
rest of the building. The roosts are
constructed about three feet up from
the floor. Along the south side under

Louis, no weapon to use against him

When in the morning light Of the
second day they came in sight of
CORTLAND, and saw on the green plain
OF the ALA a great concourse, it did
not need Alt Pikker's shout to urge
them forward at a gallop, lest after
all they should arrive too late.

But all their careful plans and
scrupulous intents were in a moment
cast to the winds by the urgency Of
the need. Expecting to find them
selves instantly captives, they found
themselves instead among stout and
Independent people, stirred to the
highest point of hatred and excited
disgust by the cruelty of the scene
and the horror which they knew must
too certainly ensue.
The sight of their favorite Prince
Conrad raised the highest hopes, not
only among the populace, but in the
army of CORTLAND itself. 1t had long
been standing toast in every guard
room, ITO the succession of the

knight, Conrad, that hero without
stain, to deliver their country from
the degrading weakness and subserv-
fence of the reign of Louis, and es-
pecially from the intruding Muscovite
and hated Cossack who had sup
planted themselves as guards in the
very palace of their Prince.

Buenos Ayres is "the whole thing"

How to Convert a Ventilated Cover

The ventilated gable cover having
only three-eighth-inch board over the
bees, with cold air passing through, is
not warm enough in winter; the space
between upper and lower boards also
affords ideal homes for spiders which
prey upon the bee. These objections
can be easily overcome by filing in
the space with chaff or other packing.
