Many a good story has beer spoiled
in the telling, and hundreds of plays
that contained good material have sunk
into oblivion, because Of the manner in
which their incidents were treated by
the author. For "lhe Mummy and
the Humming Bird" which will be
seen at Memorial Hall on Thursday,
February 21st, it is claimed, and the
universal verdict of the theatre-golng
public everywhere seem to have ratified
the claim that no other play produced
in recent years has proved richer in
incident, more logically written in the
development of Its plot, or more novel
in the nature and characteristics of the
persons involved in the story, and the
dialogue which helps out the action
has been pronounced clever, brilliant

Poultry Houses.

The essential points in poultry
house are light, dryness and good ven
tilation. The houses that have been
built warm and tight, with the idea of
keeping the water from freezing have
the objection, that in nearly all cases
the ceilings and walls coat with frost
during very cold weather. When the
weather moderates the frost melts and
you have very damp house. The
house smells Of chickens, or in other
words, Is poorly ventilated and, in
many instances, the chickens are I'M
healthy. Sometimes they lay well dur
Ing winter, but the eggs are very poor
for Matching purposes.
For number Of years we have been
trying to find some way to overcome
these difficulties. The best means OF
ventilating a house that l know Of Is
by using cloth screens and to keep a
house perfectly dry, l have found moth
ing better than a straw loft, |. e., the
ceiling Is covered with straw, the straw
being placed on boards or rails which
are some six or eight inches apart.
The straw should be about one foot or
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-12-20

more in depth. The straw, which Is
exposed to the air of the pen, will alb
sorb the majority of the moisture and
keep the house fairly dry, at least, we
have had no difficulty whatever in keep
ing houses perfectly dry by using straw
lofts. Where we have not used these
lofts, even where there was ample ven
tilation, there has been some little diff
Guilty with frosted walls and ceilings.
The use Of the curtain front Is COM
ing more into favor. Under ordinary
circumstances house needs to be one
third Of the front Of glass in order to
have the pen we'll lighted. There should
be about as much more Of the front
Of cotton. The cotton may be put on
frames which can be closed or opened
according to weather conditions. On
nice bright days, the cotton is either
rolled up, or If the curtain is put on
frames, it can be hung up. This makes
the pen very nice, bright and airy. On
nearly all days the cotton screens
should be opened for short time On
days which are very windy and dull
1t is advisable to only open one screen.
If more than one Is opened there is apt
to be too many draughts throughout
the pen. AS far as we can tell cotton
will keep out almost as much cold as
ordinary glass frame or SASH At
least, in the houses where we have cot
ton fronts, we get slightly higher
minimum temperature than where we
have similar house with all glass
front and no cotton. 1t must be borne
In mind, however, that in these houses
of ours where the tests are made. the
windows are not fitted extremely tight.
Where floors are made of cement,
boards or ground; at least, four to six
Inches of fresh earth should be put on
each year. Care should be taken to
keep the floors well cleaned, otherwise
the ground becomes tainted and the
common epidemic among fowls more
prevalent The ground outside the house
should be ploughed or spaded once

cropping and where this is impossible
the next best thing is to apply lime
and work the same into the soil.
All poultry houses should be white
washed and disinfected at least once Il
year. The present time is undesirable
for whitewashing, as it is apt to leave
the house entirely too damp for the
coming season. 1t would be better done

Good and Bad Apple Seasons.

The high prices demanded for apples
throughout this section of the country
bring forcibly to mind the abundant
fruit crop of last season, the low prices
paid for apples and the universal care
lessness Of growers In taking care Of
their crop. Throughout all sections OF
Missouri the apple crop last year was
unusually large. Owners of orchards
could not secure anywhere near what
their fruit was worth, and many thou.
sands Of bushels of good apples were
allowed to rot on the ground or were
fed to stock. This year the crop was
ruined by late frosts, and now the price
per bushel is so high that the average
family Is forced to do without this
healthful and delicious fruit. The les
son to be learned from these conditions
ought to be impressed upon the mind OF
every apple grower in the State. Com.
plant was made last year that the ap.
pie market was controlled by a trust
which would buy no more fruit than II
could dispose Of at handsome profit
This was doubtless true, but it in nc
way prevented the farmer from care.
