POULTRY HOUSE FIXTURES.
Everything Should Be Movable So as
to Render Cleaning Easy.

The fixtures In the poultry house
should be fastened, but everything
should be movable. because this great
ly facilitates keeping things clean and
in good shape. AS a matter of fact,
1t is next to impossible to clean out
and rcnovate a poultry house unless
all interior fixtures and appliances
are movable and can be carried out
side the building. More than that, IL
the roosts and nests are attached to
the walls, It is absolutely impossible
to prevent lice and mites from spread
ing over the entire building and lodg.

they can scarcely be reached.
The best roosts are those that are
all on the same level and not more
than two feet. from the ground, says
the Epitomist. We have our perches
only Is inches above the ground for
Plymouth Rock fowls. BY having the
perches all the same height, crowding
for the highest positions is avoided
while by having them low 1t is easier
for the birds to get on and off and in
juries to the feet or bodies of the
fowls in jumping or falling or getting
pushed off are avoided.

wall of the hive 1t is not necessary to
write so IL cannot be erased.
Notice that a bent crate-staple Is
used instead of a straight one or a
nail. 1t Is done for the reason that
the latter would soon be driven into
the wall OF the hive-bodies when these
are handled and the numbers" could
not be hung on them. With the bent
staple, explains Bee Culture, this is
quite overcome, for It acts like a
spring, and will not go deeper into the
wood. With this springlike pressure
the tin number-plate is held firmly
after it has been hooked in place.
Such staple is put on each end of all
hive-bodies so that, no matter which
end is placed forward, there will be
such a staple on which to hang the
number. 1t is not necessary to un.
hook the tin for making records on the
back. Just stoop down beside the
hive; lift up the lower end of the tin
on its staple hinge, and examine the
notes or add more. These will be up
side down after the tin is turned up,
and are readily read from the top.

WORTH ON THE TAILoR.MApE.
Great French Dressmaker Does Not
Approve Of style.

Worth, the great French dress
maker, does not approve of tailor
made gowns. In his fascinating arti-
cles in Harpers Bazaar he says, among
other things:
in the morning we will admit the
suitability Of a tailor-made gown, worn
with blouse of excessive neatness.
Such gown the American wears at
breakfast, in that respect differing
from the Frenchwoman, who takes her
chocolate alone in the seclusion of the
boudoir, clad in muslin or cashmere
peignoir. But supposing there is a
wedding, charity bazaar or a lunch
con party to be attended: a drive en-
automobile; a shoot or a ride? Each
occasion will determine the choice of
attire.
yet there are women who will go
in tailor-made attire to an afternoon
reception, or to that smartest of az
fairs in the eyes of the Frenchwoman

and variety the defaulter will find for
herself, II questioned. She will say,
