VALUE or A GOOD COOP.
Day When the Old Barrel Can Be
Used With Profit Is Past.

In years gone by farmer turned a
decrepit barrel on it's side and drove
vertical stakes down in front of it to
serve as a coop for the hen and brood.
If he thought to bore several holes in
that part of the barrel nearest the
ground so that the water could drain
out, he prevented the possibility of a
heavy rain flooding the quarters and
drowning the chicks.
In later years the up-to-date farmer
has adopted more modern and more
practical quarters for the little chicks
and the broody hen. Sometimes the
adoption of a good coop means the
successful rearing of strong, healthy
youngsters instead of stunted birds
which can never be more than culls.
The brood coop of the present day
protects the brood from wind in cold
weather, from driving rains in all sea-
sons and is also capable of admitting
a goodly supply of pure air. 1t is also
so constructed that it may be easily
cleaned. Most of them have fronts of
vertical Stats and if they are equipped
with tight floors these floors should be
made removable in order that the
floors may be easily cleaned. If the
floors, however, are not nailed to the
coops, the latter may be lifted off and
the floors cleaned readily. Again if
no floors are used but the coops are
allowed to sit directly on well-drained
ground, cleaning the coop is simply a
matter of moving it to fresh location
every morning.
The interior of a coop should al
ways be dry, says The Farmer, and it
is advisable therefore to cover the
roof and sides with some sort of wat
erproof material; for example, some
of the prepared roofings or tar paper.
To prevent the entrance of animals
that would kill the chickens stout
frame covered with fine mesh wire
netting may be made to be placed in
front of the coop at night so that pro-
lection may be afforded without cut
ting off the supply of air.
An ordinary packing box with each
of it's dimensions about two feet may
be made into a satisfactory coop by
covering it with roofing fabric and
providing it with a Stat front, etc.

HELP FOWLS TO LAY.
The Reasons Why Green Bone Makes
Eggs.

It is not enough that a given food
contain a certain per cent. of lime or a
certain per cent. Of phosphates; it
must also be decided whether these
different chemicals can be assimilated
by the hen Dalton, who is indisputa-
BILE authority, says: ut is well known
that inorganic substances, although
they afford the necessary material for
vegetation, are not sufficient for the
nourishment of animals, which de-
pend for their support upon elements
already combined in the organic form,
by the action of the suns rays and
plant life"
That market bones produce wonder
full results when fed to poultry is in
disputable The lean meat and gristle
form the white of the egg and about
16 per cent. of the yolk. The marrow
and other fat on the bones supply the
remainder of the yolk
The lime phosphates in the bone
yield all the necessary lime, salts for
the shell and the necessary phosphates
for the interior of the egg. When it
is considered that all the above sub
stances are found in green bone in
specially digestible condition, far
more so than any food supplied by dry
meat, corn or wheat, is it surprising
that such glowing reports are so often
heard about this new food for poultry?
With modern machinery obtainable
on easy terms, poultry men should feed
more literally of green cut bone, es-
pecially to pullets and cockerels DUR
ing the cold winter months when other
lime food is hard to find.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.

POULTRY NOTES.

Sunfower seed makes good poultry
food. Raise some this season.
Thoroughly cleanse and whitewash
the poultry house this month.
The time spent in learning how to
prevent poultry diseases will save
twice the time needed to effect cure.
Bookkeeping gives open-air exercise,
brings one into contact with the beau
ties of nature, and is an interesting,
fascinating study.
Do not put more than so chicks in
one flock in any brooder, no matter
how much room the machine may pro-
vide. Fifty is as many as will do well
together.
Do not feed all the skim milk to the
hogs. 1t is a valuable food for eggs
and growth and may be used to mix
the mash or may be given to drink in
addition to water.
Lice breed faster as warm weather
comes on. To combat them paint the
roost and roost supports frequently
with some of the best liquid lice kill
ers, or with kerosene.
The difference in the consumption
of honey, when wintering in the Gel
lar compared with wintering out-of-
doors, is only from the fact that the
temperature is more uniform, and
therefore the bees keep more quiet.
Overlooking and undertaking
should both be guarded against by the
beginner in poultry raising. Overfeed-
ing is certain death, while underfeed-
ing is death to development and
growth. Both are Improbable and
should be avoided.

Poorly Cared for FIccks.

It is useless to look for profits in the
flock if the fowls are not cared for as
they should be. No matter how good
the breed. it must be fed rightly or it
will give little in the way of profitable
returns. The fowls must be housed
in winter in such way that they will
not be wet and consequently cold. If
the wet gets in through the roof the
fowls will quickly become the prey of
different kinds of diseases. Some men
make the mistake of buying high
priced fowls and giving them low
priced conditions, with the result that
they get low-priced returns.

Heat of Woods.

Contrary to widespread belief that
hard woods give more heat in burning
than soft varieties, the scientists at
Washington are contending that the
greatest heating power is possessed
by tie wood of the linden tree, which
is very soft. Fir stands next to lin
den, and almost equal to it. Then
comes pine, hardly inferior to fir and
linden, while hard oak possesses eight
per cent. less heating capacity than
linden, and red beach ten Rer cent
less.
