Plans of House.

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 a cement floor, at least 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
terror more healthful for the poultry.
The continual passing of the all
through the curtain has a tendency
to dry the atmosphere within the
poultry house. While such buildings,
says Country Gentleman, are consid-
erably colder than tight glass fronts,
the interior is apt to be perfectly dry,
and the hooded roost may be made
use of in cold localities to keep the
fowls warm during the frost of winter
weather.
As to a correct ration of feed for
the production of eggs during the
winter months, try dry grain ration,
one-third wheat, the rest made up of a
mixture of all kinds of small grain.
If mash food is fed, always feed it at
noon. 1t is best when composed of
equal parts, by measure, of cornmeal,
ground oats, bran and middlings, all
mixed with either scalding-hot milk
or water, and allowed to set to cool.
Some animal food of some kind
beef scrap or ground green bone
should always be furnished them in
winter. In addition to this, plenty of
green food of some kind, water and
grit should always be at hand. If fed
this ration, and to this rule, and prop
erly housed, hens should always fur
nish full egg supply in winter.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with dull headache and tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

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

The size of the building here rep
resented is IL feet wide and 80 feet
long, divided into six separate apart
ments for poultry, with passage
way in the rear of the separate apart
ments. This is called 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
be any partitions, but the whole
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 80 are permitted to
live in each apartment This building,
as represented here, would furnish six
rooms large enough for % 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

nests, or the nests may be built
against the partition while that di-
vides the apartments. 1t 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 do
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

Oriuin of Starch.

The art of starching was not intro
duced into England until the ingenu
ity Of Dutch women in starching ruffs
induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to
them when she took to wearing cam
brio and linen cuffs. In 1864 Mistress
Dinghein Won den Plasse, the refugee
daughter of a Flemish knight, came
with her husband to London, accord
ing to an old writer, and set up an es-
tablishment for starching, where she
not only piled her trade, but instruct
ed English classes in her art.

A decided reaction has occurred In
recent months touching teachers sal.

Missouri school boards have aban.
doped the practice OF letting the
schools to the lowest bidder and are
demanding a higher grade Of execu.
tive ability and general efficiency.
There have been schools In Macon
and other counties taught by so
called instructors who were willing
TO accept $50 a month. and pay $3.50
week board. OF course. not much
progress was made in schools OF that
character and boards have learned
that truth. Men and women qualified
TO teach were forced to seek other EN-.
ployment Fair wages we're paid in

enough positions to go around. Now
the situation has changed for the bet
