Model House Of Two Pens.

MOOCl TlOuoC VI WV Wis.,
8 to 10 inches thick, but should stand
6 inches above the natural level of
the land and need not be more than
6 or inches below the surface. The
stills are 2X4 and should be placed on
the wall before the cement floor is
laid. The cement can then be flushed
against the stills to prevent air and wa
ter entering.
The walls on all sides except the
south are made of one thickness of
matched lumber with planed side in
side. The outside, except the south
side, is covered with one thickness of
roofing paper. The only part of the
house that is double boarded is the
portion directly back of and above the
roost platform This forms an air
space which is opened above and be-
low by holes bored through the plate,
which permits the air to circulate
freely and keeps the inner wall warm
er than it would be with dead air
space.
The frame is made wholly of 2x4's
placed feet apart, except the rafters,
which are 3X5 placed 2 feet between
centers The boards are laid hori-
zontally. The most economical and
effective method of ventilating the
house is by window openings in the
south side, which during the larger
part of the time, both summer and
winter, are covered simply by wire
netting and during stormy or excess
sively cold weather by a cloth window
If the house is tight on all other sides
this allows for quiet diffusion Of air
with the least possible draft.
The cloth frame is hung at the top
and covers an opening feet 4 inches
by feet inches. The window in
each pen is 2 feet inches by:4 feet
eight inches, and the window below it
is 2 feet 4 inches. Above the windows
ventilator is hung at the top and
swings outward, which can be opened
in summer to permit the warm air
which accumulates at the highest
point to pass out freely.
The platform 21a feet wide is placed
beneath the roosts which are - inches
apart on centers and the back one
placed II inches from the wall The
nests are placed on shelf below the
platform. In front of the platform a
cloth covered frame is hung from the
top, which is let down at night in cold
weather. This makes roosting closet
which will keep the fowls wazn even
in the coolest weather.

POULTRY POINTERS.

There is no danger of overlooking
ground dry bone. A liberal box full
may be provided and the fowls
will help themselves. 1t is benef-
cial.
If roup makes it's appearance in
the flock, lose no time in isolating
the affected birds, to prevent the
disease spreading, and give a vigor-
GUS and prompt treatment.
Geese are surprisingly strong and
vigorous, and will thrive on food
that is rejected by other fowls. They
stand, without injury, cold, damp
weather that any other fowl could
not possibly endure.
We pity the fowl or chick that is
unprovided with shade during these
hot, sweltering days. If you have no
natural shade in the way of shrubs or
trees, make a frame of boards and
cover with muslin or canvas.
A spoonful of coal oil in the drink
ing water once a week is a good thing
uIS6dS6S
are held in check this way. The oil
floats on the water and the chicken
gets little of it every time it drinks.
Pulverized charcoal should be set
where the hens can partake of it
when desired. Besides Frightening
the plumage, it is a conditioner that
has few equals. If you have no burnt
wood char some corn till almost black
and it will answer the same purpose.
The hens begin to look ragged ow-
ing to losing their feathers They are
beginning to mott and need extra care
and attention during this period, so as
to get them over the melting period
as quickly as possible. Plenty of
nourishing food should be given them
and their quarters kept clean and
free from lice.

THE COTTON WEIGHING SYSTEM

Each cotton buyer in Rock Hill
weighs his own cotton but we
believe a public cotton weigher
in Rock Hill would be great
help to many people. We do
not know who pays for same in
Lancaster or al any other place
and would appreciate the favor
II Editor Conuors would explain
the matter TO s.-Rock Hill
Herald.
The weighing OF cotton in Ian
caster, as well as in number of
other towns in the State, is regu-
lated by an act OF the legislature
passed about fifteen years ago.
There rethree towns inthis coun
ty that come under the provisions
of the law, Lancaster, H cath
Springs and Kerkaw. An ell
ection is ordered by the board of
county commissioners every two
years for a public weigher at
each point, who is required to
give bond in the sum OF $1,000.
Any voters in the county is enti
tied to vote. The compensa sation
of a weigher is fixed by the board
of commissioners, with a maxi
mum limit of five cents the bale,
which is the amount allowed tn
Lancaster weigher, and which
is paid by the seller. AT Ker.
shaw however, the buyer volun-
larily pays FIVE cents also, max
ing the weigher's remuneration
at that point ten cents the bale.
The public weighing system
seems to be working satisfactory
ly in this county.

first visit to his old home since

Mr.. Crockett gives rather a
gloomy account Of the cotton
prospect in his adopted state, as
well as between here and Texas.
He says the impression has gone
out that Texas will make big
crop OF cotton this year, but it is
a mistake-that the plant is now
suffering serious aud irreparable
injury fiom drouth and the boil
weevil. In years past the weevil,
says Mr.. Crockett, has confined
S degradation to the lower part
of the cotton plant, working in
the shade, but this year it is at.
tacking the top as well. The
corn crop, however, in Texas is
exceptionally fine this year.
