ventilated. Several modern plans for
poultry houses were consulted, and
| shall here attempt to describe the
plan we adopted, and which has prov
en- very satisfactory to all concerned.
Our Poultry House.
This cut shows the building, 80 feet
long and IL feet wide, facing the
south, for so hens. The front wall of
roosting room is made of 1x12 boards,
cut 10 feet long; for the back wall the
boards are cut feet long, and for
the entire length of building. The
ends are also boarded up with the
same kind of lumber. All cracks are
battened with 1x4 lumber. Windows
and doors are indicated in cut and
ground plan. The stills are of 4x8
sawed lumber; plates and rafters of
2x4 lumber. The roof can be made
of either shingles or shakes; roOsting
rooms floored with 1x12 boards and
ceiled and lined with tongued and
grooed flooring, or otherwise made
tight and free from draughts of air.
This point is very important.
The Scratching Sheds.
At either end of this building is an
open front scratching shed, which is
all right during the summer season,
but for winter it is better that this
front be closed in in some manner that
will admit the sunlight. This would
make the shed more comfortable for
the fowls, and keep out the rain and
snow. Eight feet from either end put
in tight partition such as is shown
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-06-01

Having become thoroughly interest
ed in the study of poultry raising, the
first question that presented itself was
naturally that of location for the build
ing. The soil about our dwelling
house being naturally we'll drained, of
a sandy loan character, with consid-
cradle gravel proved to be an ideal
location for our first building, so we
drove our stakes for the same about
100 feet back of the house, in young
orchard Under an arrangement, Mrs.
Blanchard was to superintend the
management of the poultry, as, If
successful with few, it was agreed

that the flock be increased to several
f1ocks, containing in all few hundred
laying hens.
Our experience in other things had
taught us that very much, and often
final success, depended upon a good
beginning. The writer fully realized
that all discouraging conditions must
be kept in the background. Hence it
was all important that the buildings
should be light, airy, pleasant to work
in and easy to keep clean, and at the
same time they had to be tight and
without draughts of air, although we'll

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some PendletOn People Have Learned
How to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are
twin brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid OF the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
b. Logadon, living at 1928 Y street,
La Grande, Ore, says: "I have been
subject to attacks of kidney trouble
and backache for four or five years.
The trouble was always severe and
became more frequent as time went
on. I had pains in my back, head
aches and the secretions from my
Kidneys caused me to arise many
times during the night. I had heard
so much about Doan's Kidney Pills
that l decided to try them and pro-
cured a box. / took them but short
time when the pains disappeared and

former good health. I am glad to

New York. N. Y January l.
An advance of 81 a barrel in the
wholesale price of beer was put into
effect today by the lager beer brew
ers' board of trade, and similar in
crease has been made by the New
Jersey brewers. Owing to the raise in
price, smaller glasses will be used in
most bars. Higher prices of raw ma
terial is given as the reason for the
increase. 1t is stated that malt has
increased from 60 cents to s1.25 and
other materials in proportion. About
100000 barrels of beer are con-
sumed annually in New York.
