which has a curtained front to the
house proper and q curtain-front roost

The building is i2O feet long and 10
feet wide. The front walhds six and
two.third feet and the rear wall five
and one-half feet high from the floor
to the top Of the plate. The roof is
Of unequal span, the ridge being four
feet In from the front wall, and the
height Of the ridge above the floor Is
nine feet The sills are four by six
inches and rest on a rough stone wall.
The floor, consisting Of two thick

two by eight inch timbers, which are
placed two feet apart. The rest Of the
frame Of the building consists Of two

are boarded up solidly from floor to
ceiling to prevent the drafts which
are likely to be found in long houses.
In the front or south side Of each
pen are placed windows, each window
consisting Of two 12-light sashes. The
windows are arranged to slide up and
down as in an ordinary dwelling,
special care being exercised to have
them move freely in order that they
may be opened at any time, regardless
Of weather conditions. Unless this
point Is considered the windows are
very apt to become frozen in on the
arrival Of cold weather, and It be-
comes difficult to open them, hence
the ventilation is frequently neglected.
During the past winter one window
In each pen was arranged as shown in
one Of our Illustrations, the upper
sash being dropped to the window sin
and the opening thus made covered
with piece Of eightounce duck, the
latter being tackled to the upper bar
Of the lower sash and to the sides and

There are two systems in raising
poultry. One Is the colony plan ana
the other Is the apartment house plan
shown in this article The first plan
is that Of long continuous house in
use at the White Leghorn Poultry
yans, ID New York state. II is 2oO
feet long BY Is feet wide and seven
feet higt at the caves. Along the
north side is a four-foot passageway'
which is separated from the pens by
a matched board partition. The house,
exclusive of the p,ssageway, is d.
vided into 20 pens IL by II feet and
a feed room 10 by 12 feet A door
opens from the passageway into each
pen, and there is also a door in each
partition between the pens. These
partitions consist largely Of wire net
ting, but all are boarded up TO a
height Of two and one-half feet from
the floor, in order that males in the
adjoining pens may not fight through
the wire, and thus injure each other.
Several OF the partitions in the house

lower part Of the rear roof are ceiled

form extends across the ends and

The house is divided into four 30

CROP GROWING
BY Prof. Cyril G. Hopkins, Chief Of
Department of Chemistry and
Aeronomys Illinois Aeri~
cultural College.

There are six essential and positive
factors in crop productions ca the
seed ~ the homo or lodging place,
(3) moisture, (4) heat, (5) light, and
(6) plant food. Some negative fac
tors are injury from insects and plant
diseases.
Good seed is exceedingly important,
and the quality Of the seed selected
and planted Is largely under the con
troll Of the farmer.
BY proper drainage and By the use
Of organic matter, and by the proper
tillage, thus maintaining good physi-
cal conditions, the farmer may pro-
vide suitable home for the plant, re-
move surplus water, render the soil
more capable Of absorbing and retain
ing necessary moisture, and control
the temperature to some extent by
Iessening evaporation and by chang.
ing the color of the soil, as by the ad-
dition Of organic matter.
More than five times as much heat
is required TO evaporate water from
the surface Of the soil as would be
leeded to raise the temperature of the
same amount of water from the freez-
ing to the boiling point. 1t is because
Of this that wet, poorly drained soils
are cold. Dark soils absorb more heat
and consequently are warmer than
light colored soils.
Light is a factor over which man
has no direct or positive control. but
he has full control over some negative
factors, such as weeds, which, If al.
lowed to grow, might largely prevent
the light from reaching the young
plants. Indeed, the first and greatest
damage caused by weeds is due to the
fact that they shut of the light from
the growing plants. If the supply Of
moisture or of plant food is Insult
eient for both the crop and the weeds.
then the weeds may rob the growing
crop Of these essentials to some ex-
tent.
So-called nurse crops, such as cats
or wheat, when growing with clover,
may grow 50 thick and rank as TO
injure to a marked extent the clover
By shutting out the light, also By rob.
bling the clover plants Of moisture and
plant food. To avoid these injuries
or difficulties, the clover should be
started with a very light seeding Of
wheat pr oats labout one bushel to

II necessary.
The least understood and the most
neglected essential factor in crop pro-
duction is plant food. Food Of re-
quired kinds and in sufficient quantity
is as necessary for plants as for ami.
mails; and it is even more important
TO provide an ample and balanced ra-
tlon for corn than for cattle, because
cattle are usually able to move about
and find some food for themselves.
while the corn plants are stationary
and limited to the food within reach
of their roots.

are spoiled because the owner wanted
to save the price of the windows.
This is poor economy, The windows
lcok well, In fact they add more to the
appearance Of the house than their
cost twice over and they make the
attic both light and airy.
The subject Of ventilation is one
of great Importance. BY leaving the
attic windows open you get a current
of air through under the roof, and BY
leaving the upper stair door open you
get current Of air up clear from the
cellar if you want it. This makes a
fiue that changes they air In the whole
house in short order. When living in
a house that is light AID airy you
have very little excuse to run up doc.
tor bills, II is a well known fact
that fresh air is cheaper than med.
icine.
There is an archway under the front
stair which makes a passage through
from the front door to the kitchen. 1t
is easy to get up an argument about
the advantage Of connecting the front
and back Of dwelling with hall
passage, but have usually noticed
that after a person has lived in
house that communicates through in
this way that they prefer to have 1t
afterwards. OF course this preference
may be due some to custom. We are
all more Or less prejudiced in favor Of
what we have been accustomed to,
especially in youth when our habits
are forming. Whether necessary or
not, the passage is there. and if You
don't want 1t you can keep the door
closed. 1t costs nothing to build, and
| would suggest a door under the
stairway, anyhow, because if you don't
want TO use It yourself you might
some time sell the house to some one
who would appreciate it.

sueeulent Feed.-The question or
succuient feed for fall and early win

This year there seems to be less rea.
son for not having lot Of It than
usual. The late wet spring made Il
impossible to put in some of the lower
ground on many farms until it was too
late for the ordinary crop. But even
until August, it is not too late to pat
in a crop Of fodder corn. Of course
one cannot expect to get as much Of
