Ground Plan of Hen House.

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 l have had in use for
a number of years. 1t was one of the
first buildings constructed and I
have been so we'll pleased with this de-
sign that 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 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 18x
80, with seven-foot posts in front and
three-foot posts in the rear. Before the
construction of the building was be-
gun. a foundation was,laid by excavat-
ing a small trench Is inches wide and
20 inches deep. This trench was filled
with small cobble stone for the founda-
ton for the building. Upon this foun-
dation 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 3xS 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 were 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 we'll 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
the windows is busting place where
the sunlight falls directly upon the
floor. Nests are provided to accommo-
date about 100 fowls. F is a drinking
fountain. B B are feed bins where SUI
ficient feed is kept at hand to elimi-
nate labor in caring for the fowls.

House for Winter Layers.

be spacious, affording plenty of room
on the floor for each Individual fowl.
1t should be located to afford a
southern exposure, so that during the
winter months plenty Of warm sunlight
can be reflected into the building. The
structure itself should be so designed
to eliminate as much exposure to cold
wind as possible so that the tempera-
ture can be maintained as even as
practicable.
The maintenance of poultry during
the winter months has proven a very
profitable enterprise from the stand
point of winter egg production. Upon
the farm where there is unlimited
range for rearing a large number of
strong, healthy pullets, winter egg pro-
duction affords the farmer most
profitable adjunct to his farming For
several years past / have been giving
this particular line special attention
along with my farm work and find that
/ am able to make more clear profit
from the amount of capital invested
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-
tons 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

Destruction of Fleas,

The Agricultural Research institute
of Bengal has concluded series of
scientific experiments to determine
the best method of destroying feas,
the investigation having special ref
erence to checking the ravages of the
plague.
The formula recommended is the
free use of crude oil emulsion-S0 per
cent. of crude petroleum mixed with
20 per cent. of whale oil soap. This
combination makes jelly which
mixes freely with water, and is gen
orally used at three per cent. solution
while at 16 per cent. it destroys al
feas with perfect certainty. 1t is ap
piled to floors and walls with a
sprayer.
It is said that an animal washed
. with it will be entirely relieved of the
pests.

THIS is WORTH SAVING.
Valuable Advice and Recipe by Well
Known Authority.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form of
rheumatism or bachache, also cleanse
and strengthen the Kidneys and Blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
if taken before the stage of Bright's
disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking
well in bottle and take in teaspoon
full doses after meals and at bedtime.
A well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at, small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy.
Those who think they have kidney
trouble or suffer with lame back or
weak bladder or Rheumatism, should
give this prescription a trial, as no
harm can possibly follow it's use, and
1t is said to do wonders for some peo-
pie.

GOOD PRESCRIPTION
SIMPLE MIXTURE THAT is SAID
TO BREAK A COLD QUICKLY.
Ingredients Can be Easily Purchased
at Little Cost From Any Good
Prescription Druggist and
Mixed at Home.

A noted authority on lung trouble adj
vises that as soon as a cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared in your own home. 1t is said to
be so effective that it will break up a
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.
Take half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure), two ounces of Glycerine, and
eight ounces of good Whisky. Shake
well and take in teaspoonful doses ev-
cry four hours.
Be sure that the Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure) is in the original half-ounce
walls, which are put up expressly for
druggists to dispense. Each vial is Sc
curely sealed in round wooden case,
with engraved wrapper, with the name

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.
Wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures
in Great Britain.

The advocates of the metric system
want no better justification than
tables just prepared for the year book
of the British Auctioneers' institute.
1t is learned from this that the price
of wheat is made and the cereal Is
sold in 20 different ways in England,
Scotland and Wales.
1t is measured variously by the
quarter, comb, load, boil, bushel, bar
rel, hundredweight, GENITAL, windle
and hobbet. Further confusion is
caused by varying weights of bushel
in different parts of the country.
A boil is three bushels in some
places and four and six in others.
There are similar absurd variations
in other weights and measures.
For instance, stone of meat is
eight pounds, stone of iron IA
pounds, stone of cheese 16 pounds
and stone of hemp 80 pounds.
There are seven different areas of
the standard acre in Great Britain.
The vagaries of liquid measures are
equally bewildering.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier They are laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet of
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solid
extract of sarsaparilla, which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make it a blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

81 am not feeling very WE'LL" 81
am so nervous it seems as though
should fly" my back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
fcant expressions from WON n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. 'Woman's Ills, .
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessnesS, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane Of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:

POULTRY NOTES.

Pullets that are forced to lay early
seldom make good layers.
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 feeding meat and bone to poultry,
the fresher it is when given them the
better.
A good preventive of roup is to scat.
ter air-slacked lime around the poultry
house.
A scratching pen on the south side
of the poultry house will pay for itself
in time.
Chopped clover and sweet hay are
excellent substitutes for green food,
and this poultry will relish it.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-
fess himself perplexed. The disease
is a contagious affection of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find a cause or an origin for the
epidemic.

cure Deafness and that by constitutional remedies
Deafness ts caused by an tnfamed condition of the

tube is tnfamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored its normal condi
